My card features the Recipe for Success stamp set and Flatware Dies. I created a little bundle of my most-used dessert recipes. The booklet is made with the Paper Die and I embellished the cover with the Scallop Frames Dies and Chains Dies.

To create the recipe cards, I printed the recipes on Neenah cardstock using my Epson printer. I left spaces to stamp "ingredients"' and "directions" on each card using Hero Arts chalk inks in colours that coordinate with the recipes and cardstock I used on the front of the booklet.

I created a little gift by wrapping all the pages together with neon cord. I stamped and heat embossed the fun sentiment from Recipe for Success in wave embossing powder on to a vellum Streamers Die. The Flatware Dies were die cut using foil cardstock which makes them look so realistic!

Xyron Product Usage: I used the tape runner to adhere the yellow scallop frame, and the sticker maker to adhere the purple chains design. I also used the adhesive eraser to remove any adhesive that ended up on the front of the cardstock. Xyron makes fun and awesome products!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to check the Paper Smooches Blog on Monday to see if you are one of the lucky winners!!
