Recipe Box


I made this recipe box for my mom who's coming to visit over spring break. My dear husband taught me how to cook and my mom really likes most of the dishes I prepare when she is visiting. So, I wanted to put together a recipe book but then I saw this wonderful idea in the Cricut MB and decided to give it a try. Hope my mom likes it. I will post materials and tools once my little one goes to bed. Thanks for looking!!
Tools:
  • Cricut Expression
  • Designer's Calendar cartridge
  • YourStory Laminating and Binding machine (to laminate recipe cards)
  • Crop-a-dile
  • Brother laser printer
  • Martha Stewart scoring board
  • ATG gun

Materials:

  • SU! Designer Series Paper: Washington Apple
  • SU! cardstock: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Bashful blue
  • SU! buttons (Bouquet, Fresh Favorites II)
  • 8 envelopes cut in half
  • SU! Natural hemp twine
  • SU! Eyelet border punch
  • Martha Stewart ombre ribbon
  • Eyelets
  • Cateye Chesnut Roan ink pad

  • Velcro

  5. Thanks BridgetL, it was fun to make and I really like the way it turned out. I had to step out of my comfort zone since the colors I used are not my favorite but wanted to use my mom's favorite.
