Creative Cafe Dec kit of the month - Wish Big!

Hi Everyone!

This December kit of the month for the Creative Cafe' - has definitely been fun - and I know you're going to love all the projects and cards the team have been preparing to share with you!

Today - I'm going to share a couple of quick fun tutorials. My card is using the 'Wiper' Card technique which pops up an image or message but lays flat for easy mailing. On the front, I've made a 'faux' Pinwheel that I thought perfect for the front of my card so just had to share that with you as well. So grab your beverage of choice and we'll get started!

Here's a look at my card - as it stands when opened.

And when pushed flat... you can see it will fit nicely in an envelope.

Creative Cafe'-Kit of the month - featuring 2 Treat boxes turtorial for the Rubber Cafe'!

Hi Everyone! Are you feeling that crisp feeling of fall in the air yet? Even in Southern Cal -we're finally starting to get a little of that - especially once the sun goes down! I love this time of year no matter what part of the country I'm living in- but I do miss those wonderful fall colors I grew up with in the midwest!

Today 's project again features all the yummy products included in our October Kit of the month - Fall Harvest!   My project is a little different in that I'm going to showcase 2 - 3" square boxes I made from 1 sheet of 8 1/2" cardstock! I found this wonderful video from Sam Donald  a Stampin' Up demo in the UK - I also step it out for you in my post on  The Rubber Cafe' here!

Here's my 2 boxes- I finished them each a bit differently but they're perfect for putting in some small gift tags, candy goodies, small soap or anything you come up with!

For more details, and a quick tutorial on how to create these two treat boxes head to the Rubber Cafe' blog here!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Creative Cafe' Kit of the Month - Flower Pot and Burlap Flower tutorial

Mid October and I have a project to help you get thinking about Thanksgiving! If you're entertaining family and friends this year, maybe this will be something you can make to help adorn your table and everyone's place setting.

Using the stamps and materials from the Creative Cafe' kit, Fall Harvest, and the Add-on set Fall Traditions, I created some fun Place holders with a cute flower pot filled with things each person is Thankful for!

 

There's a tutorial on how I prepped my burlap and created this beautiful burlap rose over on my post at The Rubber Cafe' - so check it out here

Creative Cafe' Kit of the Month - Fall Harvest Radient card and Tag Tutorial

Here we are at the end of the first week! How are you enjoying the cards and tags we've shared so far? Well we have more for you which will continue on throughout the month - so stay tuned!

Today I'm going to share with you another paper piecing technique, I have done this before but cut my pieces rather by feel than by measurement. When I saw this more measured and precise approach, (I can't remember where unfortunately) I decided to give it a try.
