Baking Made Easy


If only it were so....

... Baking made easy ...

Baking requires a certain amount of skill ... some practice ... a touch of magic, and lots of ...

{LOVE}



I really love how this image looks against the background paper!

When I first started playing, I wondered what I was going to do.

My friend Rebecca immediately said, "cut away the green "Good Pies" portion, adhere that directly to the card base"

... I finished her idea by saying "then I can create a pocket and recipe tag with 3-d foam tape!"

... {Rebecca and I work really well together - sometimes we talk more than work, but that's another topic for another posting!} ...


Vintage Chic tip
Design Tip #6... Before using Glossy Accents, or Stickles on any vintage images or pattern papers, always adhere the papers with a good quality GLUE STICK specifically Tombow. As the glue stick dries it forms a bond with the 2 layers of paper and provides enough stability so the papers won't warp and distort as the glossy accents dries.
I added extra thick 3D foam tape around the bottom and two outside edges to create the pocket.

Here is a look at the the detail at the top...


... Glossy accents was used on the berries, the blue ribbon, the cherries and the leaves to give that {fresh} look.

What recipe would you write on the tag?

I would write my Gramma's Pie Dough Recipe... It's the best (even though I can't bake)


Until next time...


PS.... Thank you to Diane Schultz who made a mention of me (first and last name) and my "I Want it All" card on her FB page today.

The Gardener

Yesterday I showed one card from the Graphic 45 Domestic Goddess line ...


Today I want to show you another card I created ...


The Gardener


I used Love Me Tender, Endless Love papers from the Baby 2 Bride line.

Dimensional foam tape on three sides (bottom and both sides) was used to create a pocket ...

... A tag was created and decorated using the same paper tearing technique as on the card.

A daisy flower was used for a tag topper ...

{... A packet of seeds could be substituted instead of the tag ...}


... Here's a picture of the flower detail in the lower left hand corner ...
