Long Tag Sentiments

It's inspiration time at The Cutting Cafe.

Be sure to head on over to The Cutting Cafe Blog to see what the DT came up with using the printable Long Sentiment Tags set this week.

The great thing about this set is that it's a list of sentiments so it fits most occassions. Simply check off the sentiment or sentiments that suits the moment. It's one of those sets that you can use over and over again.

There are lots of new sets to choose from. Next week I'll be sharing my Heart Pockets project so stay tuned. It's a fun one.

Celebrate!!

I only make a handful of New Year's Day projects so one of the things I do to get more use out of a seasonal set is to look to the basics of the set.

I look to see if the images and/or sentiments can be used throughout the year. Today's project shows you just that. The sentiment image is from the It's New Year Time printable set from The Cutting Cafe.

I used the sentiments that I associate with birthday celebrations so I covered up the words Clock and New Years with my image and simply cut off the bottom sentiments Toast and Resolutions. It was just that easy.

There are a lot of words that can be used as single sentiments in this printable set. Colored versions are also included with this set. I've included a sample of what comes in the set below. The full version can be seen HERE.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

It's time for another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This time we were asked to decorate a box or a bag. I was stumped with this challenge and then decided that I should just make a box or something box like. I used one of Lauren Meader's templates from Papertrey Ink and was glad to find out that it really wasn't that hard. All you really need is two sheets of cardstock and one sheet of designer paper or cardstock (with a stamped background). It really came together pretty easily. If you do decide to make one I'd recommend sticky strip tape or some other strong adhesive to keep your box from unraveling.

This week's sponsor is My Grafico. They are giving away a set of digital stamps (winner's choice). All you have to do to win is to create a project using one digital image (no company restrictions), post it in your gallery or blog and post a comment with the link on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog. A random winner will be selected from all the entries next Tuesday. Good Luck!

A little beauty

Digital and printable-the way of the future? Well for me it is. Here's a card using my new printable stamp from The Cutting Cafe. The true size of this flower is 3.5 X 10 inches which is great for a scrapbook page or one really large card *LOL*. I decided to make it better suited for a card this time. If you don't have Photoshop you can go into page set up and set your page scaling to 35%. You'll get the same result. The girl image is from C.C. Designs and is from my digital set called Gingersnap, Hey Cupid. Isn't she sweet?
