Just finished up some recipe cards for a swap over at the Cricut message boards. The first one is a recipe that my fiance's Grandmother makes, called Frog Eye Salad. It's like ambrosia with a twist...itty, bitty round noodles. Sounds weird, I know, but YUM!
I used my Gypsy to weld together the letters and words, and cut the frog/lily pad using Create a Critter (my new "go to" cartridge). Even if you're not a critter kind of person, this cartridge has so many other elements it's worth looking into.
For the second card I used CAC (again) for the barn, and Everyday Paper Dolls for the chicken. Not my favorite chicken, but the only one I have for now. I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the barn (but I can't remeber the name of the folder...distressed lines maybe). I was going to originally put the chicken on the "ground" in front of the barn but while I was inking the edges, one fell on top and I liked the way it looked more. It no longer looked like a barn to me, but more of a chicken coop. Anyway, with the chicken up there I had to make some changes for the recipe card as well. That's when it hit me. I could make the barn into a pocket and weld that chicken to a tag that slips behind it. So, when you pull the chicken off the chicken coop, you find this...
