DIY: Recipe Cards

To Keep Or To Share???

I love crafting and cooking, so why not put them together?! 

Here is how to make recipe cards that you can keep as your own or give as a gift with your goody! 

What will you need:

-Any size card stock note card (I prefer 5 x 7 ) 

-Pens (Any colors that you would like) 

-Stamp(s)

-Glitter (You can never have enough!)

   *Note: If you want to heat emboss, make sure you have the correct "Embossing Glitter."

-Heat Embosser 

-VersaMark Stamp Pad

-Extra white sheet 

-Your recipe you would like to copy

- Optional: jewels 

Directions:

1.Take your stamp and completely cover the stamp with the VersaMark stamp pad. Make sure the entire design is covered. 

 2. Stamp your card stock paper. 
Note make sure the entire design transferred. Here you should see a clear image of your designed. It will almost look wet. 

 3. Take your choice of glitter and completely cover the design with glitter. With heat embossing it is better to OVER glitter than under glitter. 

 4. Place your extra sheet of white paper under your card stock and plenty shake the excess glitter off. 

 5. Make sure your design is covered with glitter completely. If some of the design has no glitter, repeat the glittering step as many times as needed. 

 6. Take the excess glitter on the white piece of paper and form a tunnel to transfer the glitter back into the container. 

 7. Now you are ready for the heat embossing. Take you heat embosser and gently dry the glitter. As the glitter is drying, you will notice it changes colors. 
    *Note: Gently move the heat around or you will burn the paper!!

 It should look like this! 

 8. Let is cool for a minute and then transfer you recipe onto the card!

 My example: 

 Note: For the back, I usually put the instructions… (see below)

 Finishing up: Additional touches can be made like little designs, quotes, or even jewel embellishments. I always love adding jewels to a recipe card, especially if I am giving it as a gift!

 *Side Note: Helpers are always welcomed!!!

There you have it! Enjoy creating your own recipe cards and fell free to share your examples in the comments section below!
