One Scrap at a Time

This week at The Cutting Cafe we got to play with Dress Forms and asked to do them in shades of green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.... I have had these papers for a very long time in my 'stash' and thought it would be perfect for this project....... I so love how it turned out!!! This set comes with 2 Shaped Cards, 12 Sentiments and 28 assorted images all for $4.25. ~Tee

 So, I decided to break open my Copic pens that I have had forever and never really used. I began by printing some amazing digital stamps from The Cutting Cafe called Easter Fun ..... Then I created a shaped card out of it using MTC.... I realized after about an hour of playing that boy do I need more practice with my copic pens but I do like the end result. ~Tee

Who doesn't want to be treated as a Queen for their birthday? I made this card to give to my BFF for her upcoming birthday using the Postage Stamp Shaped ($1.50) Card template and Assorted Crowns ($3.50) by The Cutting Cafe. I really love how this turned out and how quick and easy it was to make using Regina's files. ~Tee

Hi Everyone, Happy Wednesday. This week at The Cutting Cafe I got to play with the Heart Lace Shaped Card. I love that Regina is now offering her new files in MTC format - makes it so much easier to just lick on the file and my MTC opens and it is ready to cut!!! Love you Regina!! After I opened the file in MTC I choose to blackout the hearts and cut my card solid using the new Valentine line from Authentic (love their papers). I then added a pearl flourish,some ribbon and a flower I made using my Cricut and Flower Shoppe with a little bit of Star Dust stickles, Threw in a couple hat pins and use the Dear Valentine that was at the bottom of the paper. Hope you love it as much as I do. You can get this file by going " here " for only $1.99

I love Valentines projects, just can't get enough of them. This week was a "free" week at the The Cutting Cafe, we could choose ANY project we wanted... Oh decisions, decisions - how do you narrow the list down when there are so many AMAZing files to choose from.... So, I thought I would do a birthday project, I started playing with the Party Hat Shaped Card and next thing I new I had this cute hanging Valentine pendant. It was totally not my fault, I so intended it to be a Birthday project... *shrug* Amazing how versatile her files are Hope you love it!!!  You can get the Party Hat Shaped Card for $4.25 - a very affordable price. ~Tee

I love love love how this card turned out using the Winter Bingo Printable set from The Cutting Cafe . Just print out the bingo cards and whip yourself a card lickty split!  The set also comes with a PDF file that has digital stamps. I imported the PDF in MTC and within seconds I had these adorable mittens to add to my card... I love easy!!! ~Tee

Here is my latest cake using my Cricut Cake and MMF. I used a SVG file and MMF for the fondant Elmo on top of the cake and Sesame Street Cricut Cartridge for the Elmo on the Box.  The box is a SVG file I created awhile back that opens in the front making it easy to slide the cake out.  I made a HUGE mistake on this cake and once I discovered it I felt horrible - - Joanna is 6 years old not 9... I knew that in making the cake but didn't pay much attention when I added the 6/9 to the cake... ugh! Attention to detail Tee... Thankfully, my customer could easily remove the age and flip it around and she didn't seem upset at all... whew!

I really got a lot of slack from my Facebook friends that this cake was Raider - but it was Randy's birthday and his request. This cake turned out much better than I expected.

When I first saw the purse gift card holder Dawn at Stampin Up , made with the Big Shot Top Note die cut, I knew I had to lift this project. I decided to make a more playful topper to use up some left over birthday paper and it was an opportunity to play with the new software I bought called "Make The Cut". I just love out this turned out. Leave me a comment with your email addy if you would like me to send you the .mtc cut. Go to Dawn's youtube video for details on how to put the purse together. ~~~Thanks for looking~~~
