Decorated Recipe Cards

Hi, Lois here today with something a little different.  CottageCutz has a fun series of breakfast item dies called Rise and Shine.   Instead of making a card using some of these die-cuts, I have created some decorated recipe cards.

Some time ago I bought a little kit for making a personalized recipe box.  Unfortunately, I never did anything with the kit; and it was still sitting in one of my craft cabinets.  When I saw the Rise and Shine dies, I thought I might be able to use them with part of the kit.  I pulled out three of the blank recipe cards and started there.

Looking through my recipes, I decided which ones could be used for this project.  I narrowed the choices down to Pumpkin Bread, Raised Donuts, and a Chocolate Cake.  I wrote the instructions out on the cards.

I then cut out the images from three of the Rise and Shine dies -- Homemade Bread, Coffee and Donuts, and Kitchen Chef.

Using various Copic markers, I colored the die-cuts and constructed the pieces.  I added a bit of clear glaze to the chocolate icing on the donuts.

All that was left was to adhere the various die-cut images onto the recipe cards.  

This was a really fun project.  At some point I may finish it!

Rise & Shine Card Samples - Part 3

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. The new Rise & Shine dies are available in the online store and the dies are currently on sale for a limited time at 25% off the retail price.

So many cute breakfast and made with love themed dies. The design team has put together some great samples to give you some ideas on how to use these dies. We showed some samples previously- click here and here to see those.

So let's get started with the samples for today.

Card 1: This first sample is a card from Anja Zurga and she used the coffee pot & toaster dies. She created a cute card that would be a perfect way to thank someone for their hospitality or a random act of kindness. My neighbor has sent over some delicious breakfast foods on the weekends. This would make a wonderful way to say thanks.

Card 2: This is another card from Anja. On this sample she used the Homemade Bread dies. How cute would this be tucked in with a homemade treat that you are giving to someone. A handmade card is always appreciated by the recipient.

Card 3: This next sample is a card from Janja Albrecht. She used the Bowl of Cereal die to create this lovely card. I think this would make a great card to let someone know you are thinking of them or even a get well card. I like to have cards on hand to send out for no particular reason and this would be such a nice one.

Card 4: This next sample is from Janet Axtman. She used the uber cute Breakfast Plate and Coffee & Donuts dies. Her card is such a wonderful way to let someone know you want to get together with them.

Card 5: This next sample is from me -Mary Marsh. I used the Coffee & Donuts dies to create a card to let that special someone know you love them. It could be used for an anniversary or birthday or even at Valentines day by changing up the patterned paper.

Card 6:  This next sample is also from me -Mary Marsh. I used the Breakfast Plate die to create another card to let that special someone know you love them. This one could also be used for an anniversary, birthday or Valentine's Day.

That's our card samples for today.  Hope these samples have sparked some ideas in ways you could use these dies. They are so versatile and could be used for a variety of occasions. And, remember they are currently 25% off for a limited time in the online store.
