A Gift for a New Neighbor

I thought a seasonal towel would be nice to welcome my new neighbors. A sweet little filigree pumpkin design from Embroidery Library will be lovely for fall. The card uses a digital stamp from The Cutting Cafe. I love those checklists. They make a cute card.

Life Saver Treat Box

I haven't posted for awhile...we are back to school and very busy! I am crafting, though...cricutting notebook covers and embroidering back to school goodies and such.

I worked on straightening up my craft room today (and vacuumed and mopped and cleaned the kitchen and did dishes....). This is my little project I made to reward myself for cleaning so much. :)

From the Cutting Cafe, comes this sweet little design of the Lufe Saver Box and digital stamps.


I also embossed the wrappers.





My daughter wanted to make one, too. We used a MS punch on the lid of the box. Didn't she choose great colors?

Bubble Gum Hello

Isn't this a fun, shaped card from the Cutting Cafe? It comes with tons of great digital stamps, too. I had a great time choosing buttons to make it colorful and dimensional. I also embossed the "metal plates" with the cuttlebug.

Shirt & Tie Cards

I had so much fun making these today with my daughter using the terrific cutting files from The Cutting Café. They are lots of fun to personalize with the different patterns of paper. This one us for my dad (aka Nature Boy):




And this one is for my Father in Law- a Gators fanatic:




This one is for my classy hubby: (Don't worry, he never reads my blog!)




They were list of fun to sew on with the machine and the little buttons really add. The coordinating envelopes cut beautifully and make them so elegant.

I also linked up to the current linking party over at Passionately Artistic.  Check it out!

Hope you have an awesome Dad's Day at your house!

Candy Box Thank Yous

I got Sure Cuts A Lot on Mother's Day and have been so excited to use it. I've been admiring cutting files from The Cutting Cafe for awhile. This is the candy box from them along with these great printable digital stamps (the b&w ones) that fit my tag punch from Stampin' Up perfectly. So cute! Cant wait to give these to people I want to thank on Sunday! My candies must have been smaller because 14 fit instead of 12 and the candy wrappers that came with the file were too big, but I am still so pleased with the results! Have a fab weekend!

Music Folder for an American Girl Doll

So I was playing with Sure Cuts A Lot today and cut out this sweet little teabag holder. My daughter came in and realized it wad a perfect music folder for her dolls. She set to work and cut up a bit of scrapbook paper into music sheets. Perfect!

Another Gift Idea

I needed a gift for my grandmother, so I made up this set of greeting cards for her.  I used all sorts of items in my stash a variety of stamps (digital and regular) and left some of the "list" stamps from The Cutting Cafe "unchecked" so my grandma could personalize them as she finds occasion to use them.  I think the ribbons and buttons and other embellishements make them special.  Doodling was fun, too.
