Happy blog hopping BBTB2 Monday! I have a lot of information to share so I should get typing. Welcome to the monthly BBTB2 Blog hop. You probably arrived here from Karen's blog. If not, think about jumping over to BBTB2 and starting the blog hop at the beginning (after you finish reading my post, of course!). The challenge cut this week was selected by my wonderful design team sister, Penny Shuberg. Penny chose the apron cut on the FROM MY KITCHEN cartridge.
I decided to use a recipe card cut from the same cartridge as my base card. I welded a rectangle to the recipe card and scored down the middle of the weld to create the card. I used Basic Grey's kitchen line of paper. Ironic, huh? The base card was cut using the cupcake print. This worked well because the back side of the paper is a nice solid medium pink - perfect for the inside of the card. The base card was topped with two matting cuts and wrapped with a ribbon before the apron was attached with pop dots. I printed a recipe for Pasta with Shrimp and Crabmeat that I am going to mail to my son's girlfriend. Crissie is learning to cook and Aaron loves seafood!
In addition to the bow near the bottom of the card, I also added a scalloped tag to the upper right corner of the card. I used one of my favorite products to create the top layer of the tag - the Amy Chomas mini gel pen holder and glitter pen set!! I love Amy's products, the gel pens and holder as well as her embossing kit. Awesome products!!! With the gel pens you simply remove the blade housing from your Cricut and replace it with Amy's gel pen holder loaded with a mini pen. The Cricut will then write your image instead of cutting. Cool, huh?
In addition to a new BBTB2 project here, I also have a new cake recipe to share on my sister blog, Busy with the Cricky Cake. Be sure to check the cake blog today for the recipe and again tomorrow to see the completed decorated cake.
Did I mention BLOG CANDY? Yes, indeed there will be blog candy this week!!! Amy Chomas is sponsoring my blog hop this month and is providing FABULOUS blog candy: an Amy Chomas Mini Gel Pen Holder and Pen set!!! Seriously! This is a great product and I love it.
