Creative Cafe'

I'm back!

Hi!  The Creative Cafe blog has been quiet as I have been visiting family in Hawaii for Thanksgiving.   The first part of the trip -- I think I brought the Seattle rain with me.  But as the week progressed, we could finally go to the beach!

Since I have been out, I will quickly summarize the past week' creative cafe and die cuts.

Gingerbread banner -- Die A397.   I connected several gingerbread men and made a simple banner.  I have some pre cut if you don't have time to cut it yourself.

 

I made a Christmas ball using Creative Cafe flowers.  The best way to attach the flowers is to use a glue gun.  It's very similar to the pumpkin that we had during Halloween.

 

Okay...I will add a picture for all of those needing a vacation to Hawaii.  I took this picture on a train ride on the Ewa coast.

Have fun!

Die cut of the week -- snowflake garland

Hi!

This garland would be great to hang on the tree or across a doorway.  I glued the diecuts on both sides of the ribbon so it would look pretty on both sides.  =)  I also added glitter to the edges.

Die Cuts used:

• A 312 Snowflake #2

• A313 Snowflake #4

• A490 Snowflake #8

• B72 Coasters

Have fun!

Die Cut of the week -- Coasters

Hi --

Since taking Tammy's Halloween banner class last month.  I have to admit that I am addicted to banners!

This die cut of the week is using die cut B73.

I have made up kits using the coasters & punch-out cardstock letters.   For November -- I spelled out "Give Thanks" and for the Holidays, "Joy."  The banners can be easily embellished using buttons & flowers or more die cuts!  Be sure to call or come by the store to get a kit as there is a limited number of kits!

Have fun!

Die cut of the week -- Mr. Bones!

Hi!

With halloween right around the corner -- Mr. Bones is easy to put together.  Just add brads and you are done!  You can decorate him anyway you want.  Mrs. Bones wants to go to Hawaii so I gave her a hula skirt and lei.

For those who don't have time to die cut, Mr. Bones, I have packaged him up and he's ready to go -- just add brads.

Have fun!

Die Cut of the week -- thanksgiving place cards

Hi!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I thought a name place card would be appropriate.   I actually used three dies for the name plate.

A242 --Acorn, B73 -- Scalloped Square and A149 -- card stand

I thought the stand would be great for other projects as well -- such as displaying cards.  I also used the new Quickutz revolution fall leaves.  The letters were cut with Silhouette.

Supplies used:

• Chipboard
• Bazzill cardstock
• Creative Imagination patterned paper.
• Bo Bunny brown dotted patterned paper.
• Ribbon

Have fun!

Creative Cafe of the week! -- More pumpkins!

Hi!

During this time -- I just love pumpkins!  When I go to a pumpkin patch with my family, I am the one trying to take home the largest pumpkin.  My husband has a rule that I can only take home what I can carry!  =P

This week Creative Cafe of the week is a pumpkin!  It's much lighter than a real pumpkin and just as cute!  You can use it to decorate your house or as gift wrap for a friend.  It was really easy to do --- as we have the scalloped bags in the store!

Supplies Used

• Creative Cafe scalloped bag in orange
• Creative Cafe small tag
• Ribbon -- which curls with a scissors
• Die cut leaves (A247) for the tag

Have fun!
