CHRISTMAS BOWS

Hello all this week over on the Cutting Cafe's blog its all about bows...we are using the

  GIFT BOW TEMPLATE...

This template is so super easy to use and perfect for making matching bows to go along with your gift packages...

I decided to make a clear box filled with Christmas bows as a gift...

The clear box was made using the TALL BOX from the Cafe.

You can also watch a video on how I made this set here.

WATCH ME WORK WEDNESDAYS - EPISODE 9 SHAKER CARD - FREE FILE

Hello all, last weekend I held my very first Christmas Card Making Party with 8 amazing ladies that I had been chatting with (some for years) on social media. We all had a blast.

Each lady made a sample card and then made up kits for each of us to make their sample card.
OMG OMG OMG talk about so much talent. Each and every one of them. I learned and saw lots of amazing things I didn't know and needed to buy for my own crafty stash.

Today my WATCH ME WORK WEDNESDAY VIDEO - EPISODE 9 I will show you all the sample card I made AND at the BOTTOM OF THIS POST is the link to get the template FOR FREE so that you can make one of the fun and QUICK shakers. The free file contains just the shaker part - so after you make that, you will just need to add that shaker to another piece of paper and then to a folded card....all this is in the video SO BE SURE TO WATCH THE VIDEO. The template comes in PDF, SVG, MTC and WPC formats.

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO

Here is the card that I made:

I combined two Cutting Cafe sets to make the shaker:

CHRISTMAS SHAPE SHAKER CARDS - TEMPLATES AND CUTTING FILES

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT FUN....TEMPLATES - CUTTING FILES

and then for the mini tag I used the 

CHRISTMAS MINI WORDS

I also made a box for everyone to put their handmade cards in. They all put their cards in front of some colorful green and red pails and then they added all of the kits in the pails behind their card.

Here is a pic of some of the ladies......thank you so much ladies

FUN WITH FRY BOXES

Hello all...........

The Cutting Cafe just released a fun set called FUN WITH FRY BOXES..........

With Christmas coming up, I couldn't resist making one with Santa Suspenders:

Sometimes working with heavy glitter cardstock you need a SUPER DUPER strong adhesive; that is where XTREME from TOMBOW USA....comes in. This stuff is perfect for holding together handmade bags and boxes and more....LOVE IT.

AND of course who doesn't love a bit of CHOCOLATE....this set also uses the new GOT CHOCOLATE set.
