Easter Fun - The Cutting Cafe

 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

Happy Birthday "Western" Banner

I had a customer who came into the store with a picture of a banner she saw somewhere online and wanted to see if we could make something similar. Here is the banner hanging at the customers home (I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her).   I had a heck of a time finding red bandana patterned paper so I bought a fairly inexpensive digital paper pack online (etsy), loaded the jpg of the red bandana on my thumb drive and drove it to Staples to have it printed for $3.20 for 6 8x11 on cardstock. I only ended up sing 5 of the 6 sheets. Cricut Cartridges used: Create a Critter, George Basic Shapes and Birthday Bash. Thanks for looking ~Tee

Cupcake Holder - Sweet Tooth Cricut Cartridge

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday - I needed to do a project for my LSS to each this Wednesday and decided to do this cute cupcake holder from the Sweet Tooth Cricut Catridge. I have seen so many of these on Pintrest and other websites and have been wanting to do one of my own. I cut my box at 9" and added some ribbon around the rim. I then put the top in my bigshot with a cuttlebug embossing folder - added some flowers to the top cut from Flower Shoppe then finished it off with a tag from The Cutting Cafe cut with Mini Monogram. Wow, I used three cartridges on this project. I think that is a record for me. Hope you like my box and if you are local come on over to Hearts-n-Crafts on Wednesday, Feb 20th and make one of your own. ~Tee

Queen for the Day

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

Be Mine - Valentines Cookies using Royal Icing Transfer

Hi Everyone, I wanted to share with you the cookies I made using the Animals and Bugs Printable from The Cutting Cafe. Supplies you will need: 1) Animal and Bugs Printable found " here " for purchase. The file is only $2.50 2) Several colors of Royal Icing. You can find a recipe for the 10 second rule consistency at Sweetopia found " here " 3) Wax Paper 4) Tape 5) Toothpicks  Begin by taping individual sheets of wax paper over your image with wax side up. Begin by outlining the images then fill in. For the turtle, I first outlined with a darker pink, let it crust up then filled in with a lighter pink.  I outlined the elephant's ear first, let it crust then filled the rest of the elephant in.  I created eyes for each animal off to the side of the wax paper to add after the royal icing completely hardens up, about 24 hours to keep from the item breaking.  I did some of the outlining, hearts and legs directly on the cookie after I placed t
