I have been featuring Frantic Stamper Inc's Mom's Kitchen release over the past little while and today is the final card I made for this release featuring the Recipe die.  This die also comes with a Menu die.  Perfect if you are making menus for a dinner party or perhaps a wedding, or maybe just a fun special dinner with the family at home.

I have made a tag card with a pocket for placing a recipe, whether it be on a little tag or written on paper and folded up.

I had a small piece of patterned paper with kitchen utensils on it from long ago, but after this release I wish I had more of it. For my embellishment I used the Oven Mitt & Pot Holder Die from the same release and the whisk from the Mixing Bowls set, also from the Mom's Kitchen release.  The "sweet" word I found in my stash.  The red borders are cut using, what has become a firm favourite, the scalloped Border Die set.

Wouldn't this be a really nice way to swap or share a favourite recipe.

Todays post is a Frantic Stamper Inc post.

I love this die called Lacey Edger.  It was released on March 1st and is so elegant and pretty.  You can use this die to make a very quick and easy card.  It really can stand alone with very little else.  For my card I simply used white card and cut the lacey edge along the bottom and backed it in pink paper.  I stamped the sentiment which could be anything you like and added a strip of paper with a paper bow.  A couple of little sequins and its finished.  So easy yet so effective.  A must have die to add to any collection.

I just love these little pots and pans.  They are part of the Frantic Stamper Inc Mom's Kitchen release.
How fun are these??? I couldn't decide on a sentiment for this card so I googled the dictionary meaning for Kitchen and found this great definition that I had to use as my sentiment. It just seemed perfect.

For my pots and pans I die cut them twice, once in plain card stock and once in the design paper.  Using sharp pointed scissors I removed the inside part of the pots and pans from the design paper and glued this onto the card stock pieces.  Its a bit more work but I think the effect is worth it and adds dimension to the die cuts.  The lids of the pots are a separate little die so I placed these in front. The pots, pans and sentiment are all popped up on foam.

To finish my card I added a piece of the paper I used to make the pots and pans along the top, with a strip of lace and a button tied with twine. Such a fun die set to use.

Its time for a Kennedy Grace Creations Post.  I seem to have a maroon and brown thing happening at the moment.  These two colours just seem to work so well together.  I used a frame to make a shaker and filled it with a combination of two sequin mixes.  Paris in Springtime and Watermelon Spritzer. The bloom and sentiment come from the stamp set, Grace's Happy Heart. Be sure to visit the Kennedy Grace blog as yesterday kicked off the grand opening and release party.  Some gorgeous new products being released throughout the week followed by a blog hop that is sure to be amazing.  We have some wonderful guests joining us.

Well its time again for another challenge at Southern Girls.  Its your favourite....Anything Goes. Theres not much else to say really.  We would love to see what you are working on.   So pop to the blog and see the great DT inspirations using images from Rick St Dennis and for more details.

Heres my card using the very sassy Rick St Dennis Flirty Flora.  She sure looks like a fun Gal!!

Hey there!!!  Hope all is well with you wherever you are.  We are just back to school after two weeks holiday.  We (as in myself and 4 teenagers) spent the first week at the beach and the weather was just perfect.  Beautiful autumn days starting with gorgeous sunrises.  For me the best time of the day at the beach is early in the morning when there is still a chill in the air and no one around with the sun coming up. I love leaving the first footprints in the sand.  It was a week of relaxing, reading books, watching movies and playing board games with the kids.  Really lucky to be able to do this and privileged  to spend such times with the kids.

Now I am back to work and have been working longer hours, which I have to say I am struggling with a little.  Its only for a little while so I shan't complain.

The card I am sharing today uses the lovely stamp set called "you Inspire Me" from Kennedy Grace Creations.  It also features the very pretty sequin mix called "Pink Champagne".  I turned it into a fun shaker card which works perfectly with this sentiment.
