Deb here with a few cards to get you in the mood for summer get-togethers and the good food that goes along with them !! My first thought when I saw this Land That I Love stamp from the June Release was to stamp it or die-cut it and use it on a map background. But then I decided I wanted to try for something a little different. When I started thinking, I began to remember growing up in Pennsylvania , family picnics and the wonderful foods we would all bring to share . That transitioned to the "land that I love" now - Virginia and the South - and some amazing new dishes that have also become favorites. And this idea was born !!
- I found 2 recipes that I love in an old cookbook, tore them out and cut them down to fit on 5x7 Kraft card bases .
- I wrote the recipes down to include with these cards before stamping/adhering anything on the recipe.
- I stamped the USA images with Lady Bug and Nautical Blue Memento Dew Drop inks.
- I also stamped the new June Release Celebrate America on blue paper with Nautical Blue ink and cut strips to use like washi tape.
- Nautical strips of paper were adhered on the recipes .
- Glitter starts were placed on each card also.
- Each completed recipe was adhered to the Kraft card base .
I can't help but think that my mom would have loved these cards !! I definitely would have made her one with her famous Macaroni salad recipe on it .. Or Apple Pie, one of her favorites. Here are a few more cards I made with this layout .
Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich
Sweet-Potato Streusel Pie
Hard to believe June is almost over !! I've enjoyed creating with the new release stamps for June and look forward to the July Release. I hope that you have been inspired by my cards this month .
