My Pink Designer Day - February 2012

I think Robyn, My Pink Stamper, and Maria are having fun coming up with creative post assignments for us!  Our post challenge this month:

Theme: How many can you use???!!!!

Use as many My Pink Stamper stamps from any set(s) on ONE project. It can be a card, scrapbook page or mini book.
 

I broke out my Imagine and created an heirloom mini recipe book for my project.

I created one page for personalization and another for dedication. 

Each page has a lined square for the recipe name, ingredients, and serving information.

The lined squares could also be used for journaling to share any loving memories and thoughts about the recipe or it's creator.

I also stamped each recipe page with a From the kitchen of: sentiment so that the recipient would know who created the recipe.

All the page bases are printed on vanilla cardstock so that the backside would match and not be white.



I know it's hard to tell from this photo angle, but the images on each page are multi-layered with atleast two layers.

Most of the images are cut at 3".

The speech bubbles are cut at 1", 1.5", and 2".

I thought adding a place for atleast one photo would help personalize the mini.  I also added some additional journaling tags.

This is how the recipe mini stands up...on it's own!  =)

This is how it would flip when following a recipe.

Materials Used:

• Cricut Imagine cart Kate's Kitchen
• My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious stamp set
• Chipboard
• 1" book rings
• Celebrate It ribbon
• Vanilla and white cardstock
• Stampin' Up! linen thread
• Stampin' Up! Kiwi Kiss corderoy button
• Stampin' Up! Early Espresso classic ink
• Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon
• Stampin' Up! tag punches
• Stampin' Up" library clips
• Yellow striped bakers twine
• Mini staples
• Ranger distress ink in Peeled Paint
• BazzilBasicPaper self-adhesive jewels in Artesian Pool
• Pop dots

Although there are a lot of images to this project, it really isn't difficult if you have an Imagine.  The recipe mini itself is one of the BONUS items on the cartridge.  I simply cut it once without printing on chipboard (fit to page) and then print and cut it (fit to page x2) to cover both sides of the chipboard.   The inside sheets are another BONUS item.  I print and cut these (@ 8.5") x12.  Most of the images are cut at 3" inches using the layers feature so that each page would have dimension.  The speech bubbles are cut at 1", 1.5" and 2.0".  I inked most off the edges in Peeled Paint and added jewels throughout the mini. 

I love how perfectly the Yummy-licious stamp set coordinates with this cartridge.  Was that the plan Robyn?  ;)
