Kiss The Cook FCCB Challenge

This week's Fantabulous Cricut challenge is to create a project with your Cricut that includes a recipe. Even more fun, make the recipe and show us the finished goodness with your Cricut project!

I made a recipe holder I saw on Pinterest. It was super easy and came out sooo cute! I found a large wooden clothespin that was already painted, cut a strip of cardstock printed from my Imagine Kate's Kitchen cartridge, and adhered it with some Mod Podge. I used the Accent Essentials cart to cut various sized flowers from some scrap October Afternoon Campfire patterened card stock. I printed the word "RECIPE"  on a piece of DCWV Mod Retro cardstock and made it into a tag. I attached all of my elements, including a vintage button purchased from Etsy, to the clip after it had dried thoroughly. I then printed out a recipe card from the Kate's Kitchen Imagine cartridge. After a little trial and error using MS Excel, I fit the recipe onto the card using my inkjet printer.

Ready for crisped bread and crackers!

What's Cookin'?

The first rule of creating challenge cards should be similar to cutting rules. Read instructions twice, make one card. Well, I created this card for two challenges, only to realize I didn't pay attention to what kind of book image I could use. Oh, well, at least I can still use it for one challenge:-)

 Still Shot

Action Shot

I used my all-time favorite cart, Kate's Kitchen (although my eyes are on the new Suburbia cart). I adhered the cookbook character with an Action Wobble. I added a little Papertrey Inc ribbon for some  embellishment along with a sentiment from A Pinch And A Dash set by Scrappy Moms stamped on a die cut from My Creative Time.

Yummy, Yummy!

Happy Monday everyone! Today is my first post for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Design Team:-) I have to say, I am so tickled to join this group of talented designers. I have been following this blog for awhile and now I'm a part of it!

Today's challenge is to create a project using any type of summer dessert. Please stop by the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to get all of the details so you can play along.

I welded my card base at 5.25 using the rounded square shape from the Boys Will Be Boys cart and my Gypsy. Then, using my Imagine, I printed the background and shaped images individually. The red is embossed with the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder and added some Stampin' Up Iridescent Ice to the "frosting" and popped them up. The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Sweet Somethings set stamped on a die cut label by My Creative Time. Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out FCCB today:-)

A Cherry Hello!

Welcome crafty friends! I was able to get one more challenge card done last night because my DH still had jet lag and went to bed "early":-) This card is for this weeks  Die-Cuttin' Divas challenge. I used my new favorite cart, Kate's Kitchen. I cut the cherries and one of the leaves separately so I could pop them up and used my Chocolate Mocha twine for the stems. The background layer is embossed with the Cuttlebug Nifty Fifties folder. I added the perfect sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Fruit and Veggie Puns set along with a little bit of Stickles.

What A Sweetie!

Have I ever said how much I love the Kate's Kitchen Imagine cart? It's the main reason why I bought my Imagine. I am just crazy about 50's design. Before kids (BK), I used to buy up as many '50's vintage and repro fabrics as I could. Sadly, all of it rests in plastic bins waiting to be sewn into fabulous quilts some day. So, in the meantime, I'm playing with these adorable '50's kitchy Cricut designs:-)

For this card, I popped up the treats as well as the background they are on. I "sweetened" the cold treats with Bisque Perfect Pearls and Rock Candy Stickles. Added some yummy Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine and the perfect sentiment from The Scrappy Moms Sweet Somethings set. I'm using this card for Paper Playtime, My Craft Spot,  Celebrate The Occasion, and Scrapalicious USA challenges this week. Be sure to check them out.

You Always Pop Up....

Well, the kids will officially be done with school tomorrow. My oldest was done last week and is currently touring Toronto Canada with her 8th grade class. My second child goes for a couple of hours tomorrow and then is officially a 5th grader! I just don't know when those two grew up so fast! Thank goodness I still have one in diapers to help me feel young;-)

I have a card to share with you today using one of my favorite Cricut carts, Kate's Kitchen. This is the cart that "inspired" me to buy the Imagine. I just love retro, kitchy images:-) I combined a few requirements into this card so I could submit it to Paper Playtime, Bitten By The Bug, and Die Cuttin' Divas blog challenges this week.

I popped up (pardon the pun) the toast with Action Wobbles that I purchased from my local stamp store, The Goose Barn. It's difficult to show in a picture, but when you touch the toast, it wobbles like a "bobble head". I used yellow Stickles for some "electric" sparkle and added two buttons on the bottom with DMC 350 floss. The sentiment is from the Pinch and a Dash set by Scrappy Moms.

Thanks for "poppin'" by:-) Have a creative day!
