1st prize 3 sets of winner's choice
2nd prize 2 sets of winner's choice
3rd prize 1 set of winner's choice

Guest Designers
Julia made a sassy shoe card.

DESIGN TEAM



For my second project, I choose "Shirt and tie" trying to make some Father´s Day cards in advance; and "Shirt and Tie Shaped Card" cutting file provided by our sponsor, was just perfect for that. Of course my "Gentlemen Owls" pattern paper couldn´t be any better.


Hope you are enjoying this challenge as I'm. This week I would like to share this cute card for a Little Baby Boy using the Shirt and Tie Shaped Card from our amazing sponsor The Cutting Cafe.

I finally this is my shirt versión.



 For this week I chose the High Heel Shoes Shaped Cards from our sponsor.


KEMLY


In this week, I made a card with file "Shirt and Tie Shaped Card". From our sponsor, 

I used the Tie Shaped Card and I used the sentiment for A great Dad. 

Cazzy
Shirts again - I love making these shirt cards! This time one is very bright, both are for Dad's birthdays. I added faux stitching and got a little creative with the pocket handkerchief on the striped one.

I also tried a shoe, but I don't think I did it well - it could be better, note to self: next time read the guide first!
I'm sneaking in another shirt, one I had nearly made then misplaced!

Challenge #11 Put your Quirky Shoes or shirts on!

Welcome back to Quirky Crafts, it's challenge time again! I have chosen a fun challenge, well I think it is fun.

I want to see shoes, shirts or ties, shaped cards, altered art, projects with shoes or shirts or ties on them please.

Here is a song called "No Shoes, no shirt, no problem" ha ha.


Our generous sponsor is the wonderful Cutting Cafe, who have provided the team with two files sets for this challenge. The sets contain a variety of formats of cutting files for different machines as well as PDF versions to hand cut, and printable sentiments.





Who are giving some great prizes to our winners:
1st prize 3 sets of winner's choice
2nd prize 2 sets of winner's choice
3rd prize 1 set of winner's choice

You get such a lot with any of the file sets at the Cutting Cafe, either cutting files or printables, they are definitely good value, and good prizes.

Now for some inspiration, first from our Guest Designers:




Julia has used the tie card from The shirts set, along with one of the sentiments in the set to make a great Father's Day card.


Julia said "The white on white made me think of a baby boy Christening!  thought it came out kind of cute!  I used Linen cardstock and popped the pieces up on foam tape."


Now some inspiration from the Design Team:



For this week project, I chose "shoes"and I made two of the differents options that the cutting file "High Heel Shoes Shaped Cards" provide. For the card base I used embossed cardstock, then I sanded it to get a better look of the embossed design. Then I added some details in vintage pattern paper. I also added a tul and some vintage shoe buttons that was just perfect for a final touch.






I used for my gift bag and for my tie card Shirt and Tie Shaped Card from our sponsor The Cutting Cafe.

DORIS


Welcome to our new Challenge. It is my pleasure to work with The Cutting Cafe files. For this week I chose the High Heel Shoes Shaped Cards, and for my first one I used the Top and More Heel and Bows part of the file and High Heel Shoe Shaped Card Sentiments file too . I used red and black paper dots, some gems and embellishments.

For my second one, I used just the top part of the file and some embellishments. This is a little vintage shoe style.




Hi! For this week I used the file of our sponsor The Cutting Café. 
High Heel Shoes Shaped Cards. I added a button a little details for this card. And I used  the sentiment also our sponsor.

Cazzy

I've been making shirts, and such quick and easy shirts to make - even cutting by hand! I found some shirt like card with a plain back and used it for two tone shirts, and some hand made cotton flocked papers that were just right for the ties. One card is a Father's day card using the sentiment in the set, then other is a birthday card using sentiments from Birthday Fun. Do you like the monogrammed pocket? These shirts are addictive, you get everything you need for complete cards including an envelope to cut out.

To see who won the last challenge see the previous post below this one.  Any crafty project is acceptable as usual.
