Cutting Cafe Inspiration-Donut Fun!


It's time for some Cutting Cafe Inspiration!  This time around we're playing with the Donut Fun File that's available in the shop here!    I had so much fun with this set it was hard to stop!


That adorable Donut background and sentiment are printables included in the set!  I printed a sheet of the background and used a die to cut out my 2nd layer and then a simple circle die to cut a couple donuts to use as embellishments.  I colored in the donut image that is the "O"  in Donut and then finished up with some Doodlebug stickers and that pretty heart die from my stash.


There are two Donut Shaped cards... there's this one that is the "side" view of the donut... and that sprinkled frosting was cut from another printable in the set.  I printed the whole sentiment PDF and then used what I needed from it, cutting them out with various dies.  (My coffee tells me to eat donuts all the time.)


And here's the top view Donut Card... and you can make both versions as a shaker!!  All the cuts you need are in the set.  I like my donuts with lots of frosting and the more sugar the better!

Then I re-sized the top two layers of one of the donuts and did the same with the Coffee Cup Shaped Card 2 to use on this card!  Then I built my sentiment using some words from my PDF sentiment sheet and some dies... this might be my fave... but I love them all!  I think you'll be seeing some more donuts soon.

Be sure to check out what everyone else has created with this very cool set!  Head on over to the Cutting Cafe Blog where you'll find links to all of my teamies great makes.  And be sure to comment at the Cutting Cafe Blog Post for a chance to win three files of your choice!  (I highly suggest the Donut Fun file!)

Crafty Elves' Countdown To Christmas - April 2019 Edition!


Welcome back to the Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas!  My friend Debra Davison from Meticulosity and I have made a pact to create a Christmas card a week for 2019 and so far so good!   We're sharing our cards on the 25th of each month and guess what??  It's April 25th!  (Can you believe it??).  Tax season is over and I've made it through so it should be smooth sailing from here on out!

This month once again because of my "real" job I needed some quick cards that wouldn't take too long.  I had the Doodlebug Christmas Town 6x6 Paper Pad staring me in the face with it's adorable little mini sentiment pieces and I thought... yeah!  I got my pad in the Paper Sweeties Shop here!


I created seven cards for you today... six all using just the Doodlebug papers and some dies from some of my favorite makers plus a special one using a beautiful new to me stamp set from Papertrey Ink that I've been dying to ink up!  I'll start with a quick pic of each of the cards and a list of the products with links below it.  On most of these cards I used the following:

Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Rectangles (I use these ALL the time!)
CDD Mini Shaker Clip Dies (To cut out the sentiment images)



On this one for the gifts I used a great die set from The Cat's Pajamas called Presents.

With this one I'm playing along with the Die Cuttin' Divas Red Hat Society Day Challenge which is to use red and/or purple... this one's got a little red!


For this one... I had that kraft piece with the cutout circle in the corner... I had needed the circle piece for another card and saved this one... I was so glad I did... love that it's now a cutout on this and I popped up the kraft panel over the Doodlebug Design Paper.  I also used these Snowflake Dies from Paper Smooches.  Oh... and the Kraft paper I've used on these... Papertrey Ink and it is awesome! #robynmademebuyit


For this one I used a Jolly word die from Lil' Inker (I think this one is retired), those adorable mittens from Sunny Studio's Warm and Cozy Dies and that cute little Santa Hat from Taylored Expressions.



I should mention about that CDD little notepad die from the Mini Shaker Clip set... it was the perfect size to cut out most of these little sentiment cards from the Doodlebug paper!  It really didn't take me long and it was fairly easy to line up... I was SO excited to be able to cut them in this shape instead of just cutting out the rectangles!  The hat on this one is from the Sunny Studio Warm and Cozy set same as the mittens above and these Mini Snowflakes are from Lawn Fawn.


On this one the T.E. Santa Hat again, LF Snowflakes and that sweet stitched heart is from the same Mini Shaker Clip set from CDD that the notepaper die is from.

With this one I'm playing along over at Cute N Craft Christmas Challenge #11.


Well, of course I had to fit a cup in here somewhere!!  On this one I used Paper Smooches dies from the Coffee and Tea Dies and the Holiday Sweets Dies.  Perfect with this sentiment square!  Season's Eatings...lol!  Cracks me up!  And of course the cup is plaid!!


And last but certainly not least.. there is this beautiful deer from the Papertrey Ink Fawn and Flora Stamp Set... this is a layered stamp which I would normally not attempt... they make me cry... seriously...lol!  but this one was so easy to line up and I had no problem.  The flowers that come with the set were a little more challenging for me but I have a couple ideas and I'll attempt them again soon... but for this one, I decided to use some dies from Impression Obsession for those little flowers and Holly leaves and they worked out just fine!


Isn't she just the sweetest!?  Definitely gonna use her again.  I had to cut her out because I wasn't able to order the dies but I'll be getting those soon.  These Circles are from CDD and I think are retired but there is a new set here!


And then this sentiment die set is awesome from Papertrey Ink... it's called Holiday Double Cuts Dies and there are three word dies and they cut like butter... love them!

And that's it for me today!  I've chosen a winner from last month's post to receive some Happy Mail from me:


Crystal!  Please send me your snail mail at bzscrapper66 at gmail.com!  And yes, we'll play again... leave me some love and I'll pick a name and announce it in our next Crafty Elves Post on the 25th of next month!

Now be sure to hop on over to Debra's blog and see what she's cooked up for you today (and she's got a giveaway going over there too)!  Thanks so much for stopping!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - February 2019!


We're planning our lives today over at Paper Sweeties!  And there are adorable new Stamp and Sweet Cuts sets!  The All Occasions stamps and dies are a perfect add to your collection!


I used the heart sweet cut and flower stamp and sweet cut from the new set on this planner layout along with a few others!  I love to use the scallop sweet cut from the Sweet Borders set to decorate my printable planner pages!


Along with some pretty floral washi tape and I cut the hearts from the new set from glitter paper and one of the sheets from the Christmas Town papers!  Yup! That pretty heart patterned paper is from a Christmas pad!


And I love the hearts and flowers along with those cute little word dies from the Treat Box Sweet Cuts adn some puffy stickers from my stash.


I also strategically cut some hearts using the heart from the Treat Box dies out of some old scraps of some Doodlebug papers from last year!

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and be sure to check out what everyone else is up to!

The Cutting Cafe Inspiration-Printable Planners Part II!


Today at the Cutting Cafe we're sharing some more planner inspiration!  Regina has so many awesome planner files for just about everything!  You can check out the planner section here!  I've used the 2019 Planner file here and the Design Team Planner file here!


I love to use the Day Planner sheets included in the 2019 Planner file!  I use them along with some of my fave planner stamp sets along with any extra stickers I have... die cuts that I cut from scrap paper .. like the banners here and all of that washi tape I have stuffed away in a drawer.  I knew I saved all those small scraps for a reason!


I have mounted my planner pages on 6x8 cuts of cardstock and sometimes it's fun just to create an inspirational page for myself... here's a reminder for me during this busy time of year...


I especially love this checklist from the Design Team Calendar where i can keep track of what challenges I've entered and when I should check back!  I made them smaller so I could fit more on a page... I love entering challenges!


And these are a new fave of mine too!  I love that because of the ring that holds it together I can insert these worksheets wherever I want and then remove them when I don't need them any longer.  Then I can just attach them all together with another ring for future reference!

I'm sure you'll be seeing more of my planner and here are some pics I shared during our last Cutting Cafe post on the 7th!  You can read about more details at that post here!







Thanks so much for stopping today!  Be sure to head on over to the Cutting Cafe Blog to see what everyone else has created!  And while you're there comment for a chance to win three files of your choice!

Come back soon!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - January 2019!


Happy New Year!  New year, new planner format for me!  I'm still using this awesome printable planner set, but I'm going with a smaller format so it's more portable.   I've created 6x8 pages so it's still a good size, but smaller than the previous 8x8 I was using.  And I'm going with a large and simple ring to hold it together so I can hang it from a hook in my craft room.  I can still have fun with pretty papers, washis and images, but in a smaller format.  I'll be sharing more about it in the coming days, but for now, here's my January!


I know it's still winter, but here in the South West part of the U.S. "winter" will be over before you know it... and it's been unusually cold here so I needed some bright cheery colors and images to make me happy.  That basket of flowers from the Thank You Stamp and Sweet Cuts sets was just right... especially since I have a lot of mailing left to do this month and thank you's to give.  I decorated the sides with some cute Doodlebug washi and used the Sweet Borders sweet cuts to cut out some fishtail banners and scalloped borders from coordinating papers to decorate with.


I've decided for my To Dos I'd use that cute heart from the Get Your Craft On Planner Series Stamp Set ... I'll fill in the heart when my To Do is Ta Done!

It's a busy start to my month!  Be sure to come back for some Paper Sweeties inspiration on the 14th, 15th and 16th!  But for now, check out what my Teamies are all up to for this month!
