I'm Nutty for You Tiny Box and a Cutting Cafe Giveway.


Well I'm off to a music festival today at the B.R.Cohn winery outside of Sonoma featuring Journey. WooHoo! It should be a beautiful fall day and I'm really excited. Music, food, WINE, what could be better than that? Before I go I have another little giveaway. Regina has been soooo busy at The Cutting Cafe and I wanted to share one of her latest creations. I've always loved tiny things. From the time I was a little girl I was fascinated with all things miniature (maybe because I was always the smallest in my class and my parents used to say "good things come in small packages"). When I saw Regina's tiny boxes and sentiments I had to make one immediately. There were so many adorable sentiments that I had a hard time choosing but I wanted to use this cute little squirrel Cottage Cutz die from The Scrapping Cottage, and there was a perfect one to match. I printed the sentiment out on kraft paper and cut it with my Nesties. I used my Cuttlebug to cut the 4 x 4 die and inked him and flocked his tail. The cute leaves are also included on the die.
You can see how adorable this tiny box is. It's available as a template you can cut by hand (so EASY), or also as a WPC file that can be cut with a Pazzles machine or with your Cricut if you have SCAL. By attaching any die cut to the side with foam dimensionals it's still possible to open the lid. Wouldn't it be a fun surprise to tuck in a lunch box or leave on someone's desk? Now you can win this Tiny Box with Sentiments by leaving a comment to this post. The winner will be announced Friday. Lots of my DT sisters are also giving away new sets for free. Regina will have the whole list on The Cutting Cafe site tomorrow so you can check them all out. Tons of new stuff for EVERY occasion.
