Instructions:

Step One: 
Die cut a doily shape from the Asian Motifs set in black cardstock. Cut a square from the centre and discard to leave a frame. Use the frame as a guide to cut a window in the centre of the card.   

Step Two:
Die cut a lattice piece. Following the instructions on the package, apply coordinating BLING-a-bilities. Cut slightly larger than the window in the card, and adhere to the inside of the window.


Step Three: 

Cut a piece of pink cardstock 13cm square. Again using the frame as a guide, remove the window piece. Adhere to the front of the card, with the frame over the top.


 Step Four: 

Die cut a small doily shape. Apply matching blin-a-bilities and adhere to the bottom right of the frame, along with a 4 layered rose die cut flower. 





  Step Five: 

Die cut flourishes from the Foliage Two set. Emboss with clear embossing powder and adhere to either side of the flower, along with a stamped greeting.

"I came up with the idea for this bunch of recipe tags because I have a few of my favourite cookbooks that ended up with dirty fingermarks all over them. I also wanted something that takes up very little space on the kitchen bench, and something with as few words as possible on it. I rarely follow a recipe to the letter anyway, so this is a bunch of tried and tested recipes in a very abbreviated form, designed more to jog my memory than anything else. The Vintage Marketplace papers, and the Homespun dies I used to emboss images onto the pages were just perfect for this project. Who said something so practical couldn't be pretty at the same time?"
