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.

Final Project using the Best Witches - Creative Cafe kit

Well September 30th is here, and I leave you with a final project from our Creative Cafe kit - Best Witches!

This was one of my favorite cards, as it seemed to go together so easily for a change. It's a lot of layers, but that just makes it all the better! Check it out - I'm featuring that wonderful witch flying on her broom stick again! Just love this stamp set !! And the large polka-dot paper in the background is another of my favorite papers.

The Rubber Cafe'-Creative Cafe Kit - Best Witches Distressed!

Hi Everyone! Today I'm back to share with you another card made with the Creative Cafe' Kit of the Month - Best Witches.

If you're just tuning in for the first time, The Rubber Cafe' just launched our first kit this month from our new Creative Cafe' Kit Club, and the Design team has been busy preparing cards and tags to share with you. Bonus tutorials are available in these posts and will be available to print - so be sure to get in and order your kit today!

Today's card is a fun technique using distress inks to create the background of my card. I have done this before but usually use watercolor paper - as it can best handle the water and ink that you are hitting it without breaking down. However I'm using the yellow cardstock from the kit and I chose to do this as it's a nice heavy wt cardstock so really can handle this process. And I love what the yellow coming through did with the ink!
