THE CUTTING CAFE'S BLOG HOP (end of term)

welcome all to a sad but happy blog hop. our term at the cutting cafe has come to an end. we all were invited to stay for another term but i couldn't commit. my household is very hectic in november and december and i just couldn't stay. but i have to give miss regina a huge thank you for giving me the opportunity to be in her team. i have been a fan of her since the beginning of my paper crafting adventures, way back in the days when she had started the original "bitten by the bug" blog. anyway, i believe some of the girls are staying for another term but we still wanted to celebrate how much fun we have/had at the cutting cafe. i personally had a blast, learned new things and techniques, made some new friends...over all a great experience. i remember how excited i was when i was accepted to the team and how nervous i was to mess up because i do not own the digital cutter and my projects were going to be cut by hand. hehe. i think i did pretty good, as i went along i gained more confidence.

now, back to the hop...

generous miss regina has offer to give away to a lucky "blog hopper" (new term in my vocabulary, hehe) the file we are using today for our projects. thanks again miss regina.

HANDMADE WITH LOVE

this is the file i chose for a lucky winner:
JAR SHAPED CARDS

and as all files from the cutting cafe, it is made with love :P

all was cut by hand using the pdf document file included among the svg and wpc.
it also comes with a bundle of sentiments and different images to fill in the jar. i chose the plain jar for my project.
-the top part and hearts were hand-stamped-

the mini hearts were punched out and layered.
the sentiment was printed and i hand cut around it a banner shape.

hope you really like my card and my chosen file because...
all you have to do is leave a comment and i will choose a winner on friday. you have to contact me and i will forward your email to miss regina, owner of the cutting cafe and one of the sweetest ladies out there :) you have 5 days to claim your prize.

thanks again for stopping by and have fun hopping with us

all of us are giving away the file we worked on, the chances of winning different ones is great....good luck!

A PUMPKIN SPICE BLOG PROJECT...a square card

Hello, this is me agnes

aka

flowerdisco. 

i am a new addition to this already awesome design team. today is my first post and i am so happy you came to visit.

i love making cards and love playing with pretty paper and, if you are like me, then you are in the right place. the pumpkin spice store is the place you need to get your "fix", i mean scrap supplies, hehe, you also will find many other addictive goodies. personally, i think denine has the best prices in her shop. if you "gotta see to believe", click here to see for yourself---(wink  wink).

anyway, i got this awesome paper at the shop called beautiful moments, from the new brand carta bella. oh my! you are going to love it. nice thickness and gorgeous patterns and colors, yummy! along with these papers i also got my first unity stamp called jars of love x 3.

these jars are all the rave now and the hearts make them perfect for valentine's day. the hearts come separate from the jars, in the same package. this is great because if you want to use the jars for any other occasion, you can, yay!

well, enough of chat-chat and let me show what i made with my shop pumpkin spice goodies.

Love

4x4 square card

the jars were stamped using a versafine onyx ink (my new favorite). i then stamped the hearts on the jars with versamark, sprinkled them with red brick distressed embossing powder from tim holtz and added this softer than most  jute. the rest came from my forever stash, :D what a cute and easy card if you asked me...shhh! it really took me a while, hehe. i wasn't pleased with the first one i made. wink-wink.

oh, i almost forgot the "so happy" sentiment comes from a my mind's eye clear stamp set i also got from the shop.

a few more pics (for more details, click on the pics)

and...this is it for now.

 thank you again for stopping  by to see my first project for this blog.

 i hope you liked my project and i invite you to subscribe, bookmark or follow us. this way you won't miss anything that denine has in store for all of us----and, that includes you too.

have a great day!
