The Cutting Cafe~ Loopy Loopy Bow~Flower

Good Morning Everyone!!

I am here to share my first project as a DT member with

The Cutting Cafe

This week the DT is showcasing the Loopy Loopy Bow~Flower

and this is what I came up with...

With Valentine's Day right around the corner I thought I would get a jump start on some special treats for my boys to hand out.

All of my cuts and images are from The Cutting Cafe

Assorted Milk Carton~ with the heart cut

Loopy Loopy Bow Flower~ medium and small bow cuts

All Occasions Tag Set~printable stamp set

Here is a closeup of the Loopy Loopy Bow Flower...

Now when I say this is easy to put together...it is more than easy to put together :)

Regina has the file so perfect that cutting it out and deciding colors takes more time!!!

I added my own ribbon flower center using 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon in Holly Berry.

The milk carton is closed together with a white satin ribbon, tied in a bow where my big

Loopy Loopy Bow Flower is hot glued to.

FYI~ the bottom is still open so I can fill my milk carton with some Valentine's goodies

(have not picked up any chocolate or conversation hearts yet LOL)

So if you like my project hop over to The Cutting Cafe and pick up these files...

They are all so much fun to use and decorate!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

My card was made using a Kraft card stock base...

Designer paper all from my stash~

the Green Polka Dot is from 25 Days of Christmas~ Peace Love Joy

Brown DP~ Cosmo Cricket~Turn over a New Leaf

and

Cream and Pink card stock

The #1 is cut from the Simply Sweet Cartridge at 1.75"

I used my Xyron machine and Kunzite (pink) glitter from Martha Stewart for lots of sparkle

We all know Diana LOVES her glitter :)

My sentiment is from My Creative Time~Gift Card Sentiments

it was stamped on cream card stock then punched with a notebook border punch.

I also glittered that using glue dots and again the same pink glitter.

I free cut the banner pieces and distressed the edges then added some green buttons from my stash.

I really love the way this card turned out and hope Diana loves it also!

Now time to hop along and check out what Patty has in store for you...I know it will be amazing!

The Cutting Cafe Gift Card Holder~PKS Anything Goes Challenge

Good Morning everyone!

Can you believe that Christmas is almost here?!?!

I am so excited and I know my kiddos are even more excited!

For some reason though this year has come so much faster and there just is not enough time to get everyone done....I was panicking yesterday but now that all the Teacher's and student gifts are completed and will be handed out today I feel more relaxed.

I wanted to share the gift card holders I made for my boy's 3 main teachers.

The file for the holder is from The Cutting Cafe~

Gift Card Holder Set

Talk about so easy.....there are 2 different styles to this file

plain and with scallops as well as both of those with and without the notches.

I used Kraft cardstock to cut the holders out and attached DP from my stash for the top layer.

Those adorable Ginderbread cuties are from PKS~408 Gingerbread Doll Set

They were also stamped on Kraft Cardstock then colored with my white gel pen, cheeks made pink with chalk and their hats paper pieced and stickled.

I tied tulle around them all in a bow

and attached a small jingle bell to the center using twine.

I think they turned out super adorable...

what do you think?

Here are some individual pictures of the little boy and little girl.

Too cute!!

I am entering this over at PKS~Designers Choice

I am now off to get the kiddos ready for school!

It is a fun filled day of parties....Yippee!!

Thanks for stopping by!
