My favorite part of these exciting new Creative Cafe dies from Accucut are the words and flowers! The sizing of the words make them wonderful to use with rub-ons, stickers or even stamps. 

 

Below are MORE samples, that are just a preview of two other wonderful projects we’ll showcase in the next few days! The set of flower dies includes over 8 different pieces that you can mix and match to create different flowers, stems and centers. You’ll love all the different combinations you can create!

CHA Winter 2010 is going to be an exciting show. Make sure you stay tuned for more previews of the new products… as well as a few FREE giveaways!

 

If you are like most of us… your kids are finally going back to school! Or, you have a little one just starting Kindergarten! (Loved this little chipboard book to capture all those first day photos!) 

It’s also a time, where as Moms you can finally start getting back to your regular schedule. For us, that’s the perfect time to remember you have time to do something for yourself. I have a ton of photos piling up from summer, trips we took, or just family photos, and I just long to get SOME of them into albums or journals.

I thought I’d finally start to get organized, and make a mini book! I realized I had a TON of photos of my daughter with all her friends from play group, the library, daycare, etc… I wanted to make something that wouldn’t take long, but had room to journal about each group of friends, and who they were. 

I started searching through all the Creative Cafe projects we had from the design team, and found this ADORABLE mini book that Greta had done with the new AccuCut die shapes! I was so excited to find something I could do quick and easily! I just love how there is a great photo on each page, AND plenty of room to write about her friends too!

We’d love to hear what you have been doing to get back into your “creative self”… now that school is starting! What creative projects are you working on?

 

Some of the best-selling Creative Cafe dies from AccuCut are the mini book die sets. This new set is amazing! You’ll love the various shapes, that can create several different pages and covers. The Creative Cafe colored chipboard, glitter paper, felt and transparencies are PERFECT for these mini books! The design team has been busy creating all kinds of fall and holiday projects, since the upcoming trade show features products that ship fall through winter. 

Each of these mini books also features several new die shapes, also being released at CHA Summer. The stars shown on each album are another set of new dies that are available from AccuCut. Gotta love the bird and owl too, which were released earlier in the year!

Which mini book is your favorite, and which page shape do you like best?

I love the tall tag, but several of my friends like the large bracket, like on the cover of the pear mini book! Tell us your favorites, and we’ll pick one winner the week of August 2nd, for a goodie bag of Creative Cafe products!

Stay tuned tomorrow for more CHA Summer Creative Cafe previews!

See if you can pick out the new AccuCut dies in these fun projects.   This is a pretty big hint (I think.)

There are at least 2 new dies in here (but come in different sizes) and almost everything you see in these projects was cut with our Creative Cafe AccuCut dies.   If you want to have fun with these dies and more, like the projects you see here, tell your local scrapbook store to RUN, don’t walk to the AccuCut booth at the CHA Winter Show this week in California or to give Accucut a call.

Wow, can you believe that?  We all know how time flies, so now would be a good time to get busy on those handmade gifts.  This little round Chipboard album made with an Accucut circle die and lots of Creative Cafe cardstock stickers, buttons, and chipboard shapes would be a perfect gift for a loved one who would enjoy a yearly review of photos.  The circle shape is a fun way to create and you can easily follow the edges to add your own handwriting for that extra personal touch. 

Best wishes for a productive fall season!

It may seem a little early for Halloween but most stores are already stocked and ready to go! I thought since we just turned the corner into September, it was time for some Halloween inspiration. I absolutely LOVE the color combinations in the Spirit line as they are so versatile. By combining the orange, green and a little black, the line is well suited for your Halloween photos. This page is super easy to put together but packs a bunch thanks to those AccuCut dies!

Thanks for looking!

Love the new AccuCut scalloped ribbon circle die…I cut the center out of this one and added a transparency for the background. I took a pic in a couple of different places, so you could see the transparency. I also used a new die cut word and a butterfly cut out of a polka dot transparency sheet. Lots of fun stuff! Have a happy Friday!! Creasa

With all the activities surrounding this holiday, you are probably knee deep in photos! Here is a quick and easy page to help get you started recording those memories! There are lots of goodies from the Spirit line and you could add a few strips of journaling on the left side to record your thoughts on the day! Hope you all have a fabulous fourth and be safe!!

Well, Summer is in full force around here. My kids have easily adjusted to the lazy days and playing with friends from morning until night. We’ve also added a new food group: popsicles. Who knew you could crave them at 9:30 in the morning?!? And if you are anything like me, your camera is getting a workout as well. Summer provides so many opportunities for photographs and capturing the moment. But if that stack of pictures proves to be a little daunting when it comes to scrapbooking, try this fun, easy, colorful little mini book to save and record some of your favorite summertime memories. Make the front and back covers using chipboard and the pages in between with double-sided cardstock…add a few embellishements and these great stamps to prompt some journaling and you are good to go!

Creative Cafe Chipboard sheets make a great base for those mini albums , but how about those left over bits and pieces? Well with a little doodling they can also make for Fantastic 3D embellishments! In this case I simply drew the monkey pieces from 2 different colors of the chipboard,cut them out and then layered them together for this fun accent! Adhere on a Creative Cafe Tag, add a button and a felt phrase for a one of a kind tag for your pages, gifts or doorknobs! Nice and sturdy, and fun to boot!

~Enjoy!
