Back to School

School starts here next Tuesday.  Regina, The Cutting Cafe owner, gave her design team some fabulous cutting files to work with that are perfect for the start of a new school year. I chose the Apple Treat Card.

I was a little intimidated when I first saw her sample card.  Watch her tutorial video below and see, it's easy peasy!

 

As with all my Cutting Cafe post, I am reminding you that you do not have to own a cutting machine. The Cutting Cafe files come in various formats, so you can print and hand cut to make any of her designs. And wow are they ever affordable. This one is just $2.25.  

Check out the other back to school projects at The Cutting Cafe.

Christmas in August

Regina, the owner of The Cutting Cafe, asked her team members to do a Christmas in August project. And I'm thinking "why not?".  And should we not just do Christmas all year?

I chose to do this awesome Noel shaped card. It is so easy with The Cutting Cafe Noel-Word-Shaped-Card-Template-Cuttng-File.  

This file comes in various file formats, so even if you don't have a cutting machine such as the Silhouette, you can still print and cut by hand. And you can either print in color or use some pretty pattern paper. If you are printing on patterned paper, you will want to print on the back side and reverse the image. As you can see it even comes with additional images which I have not used in this project. And this entire set is only $.99!!

If you want a tutorial on how to convert files for the Silhouette Cameo, here is a really good one:
