Vintage Holiday Recipe Cards

Vintage Holiday Recipe Cards
By Vanessa Spencer

 

Begin with an old book cover – I purchased mine at the second hand book store at my local library for just 50 cents! Don’t throw away the pages you tear out because these will be handy for a future project!

To make the recipe cards, use the Basic Grey Ambrosia collection (5BG-CAMB1430) and cut all the cards down to 4”x6” or depending on the size of your book cover you may need to cut smaller or larger. Use a corner rounding punch to round all the corners. Distress the edges of all the cards using the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser (5TO-370). Then distress the edges again using Walnut Stain distress ink (5TH-TIM19534). Remember it doesn’t have to look neat – the goal is to achieve an old antiqued look so the messier and more distressed – the better!

To embellish the recipe cards I used vintage music paper that I had purchased through a Stampington "French Flea Market" sale, journaling notes with recipe images from our Homemade journaling pad (5HV-HIJ3), pieces of mulberry paper with vintage floral images from the Prima Collage Collection (5PM-850067) and the new Tim Holtz journaling tickets (5TH92732). Cut your pieces down to size and distress the edges using your paper distresser and ink. Attach pieces to the recipe card as desired – I find it easiest to play around with the arrangement first then glue once I’m happy with the layout.

Once all the pieces are attached you can spray the cards with Cinnamon Glimmer Mist (5TA-CINN) to give it a rustic charm. Try creating some cards that are plain and not embellished for you to jot down your favorite Holiday recipes. To add a little charm to those cards use some chipboard scrolls (5MR-C016) as a stencil and spray over with Glimmer Mist. You can then use the chipboard as an embellishment or save it for a future project.

Attach two pieces of paper to the insides of the book to file the cards in. Use a strong liquid adhesive and remember to only glue 3 sides of the card – you must leave the top side open in order to slide the cards in! Embellish the front and spine of the book using stickers from the Ambrosia Collection (5BG-CAMB1430).

 

There are many alternatives to a vintage book cover for this project. Trying using some of these creative products from The Shoppe to display your holiday recipe cards:

Flourish Frame
by Sarah Meehan


Tear the edge of a piece of newspaper, and glue to a sheet of paper from the Ambrosia Paper Pad by Basic Grey (5BG-AMB1431). Rip any excess newspaper from the edges. Using a Chipboard Scroll (5MR-C016) as a stencil, spray Sage Glimmer Mist (5TA-SAGE) onto the corner of the paper.

Cut a 5 3/4" square of cardboard for your frame, and cut a 2 1/2" opening in the center. Align the cardboard onto the back of the paper and trace the opening onto it. Use a ruler to draw an "X" into the center of the traced opening and cut along the lines to create flaps. Glue the paper onto the cardboard, folding the flaps to the back of the frame and gluing in place.

Affix the scroll that was used as a stencil (which is now covered in Glimmer Mist) to the top corner of the frame. Add a favorite photo or image from a collage sheet (5ARROSY) to complete.

   

Funky Fiber Cards
By Cher Lashley

Die cut a patterned paper with a solid counterpart from the Paper Pad Collection of your choice. Glue wrong sides together, ink edges and attach a color themed eyelet. Wrap the bundle of coordinating Fibers around the large tag and there you have it, just for fun, fabulous fibers showcased on their themed papers. Use a vintage hat pin to stick them on your masterboard, or artsy tack for your bulletin board or put them just about anywhere you might be designing for a touch of your own inspiration.

Bonus Project Main Image

Growing Inch by Inch
by Vanessa Spencer


I was inspired by the distressing tools by Tim Holtz for this project. Also I wanted to incorporate inchies. I discovered that the packaging for the Basic Grey Periphery collection (5BG-CPIP924) has small images of all the papers that are perfect for inchies!

I trimmed the main background paper to 8 1/2" x 11" and then trimmed the green paper slightly smaller. The photo I used is 5" x 7".

I distressed the edges of all the papers and the photo using the paper distresser (5TO-370) tool. Then I scratched around the image on the photo using the photo scratching tool (5TO-373).

I cut out the inchies from the packaging sheet on the periphery pack (5BG-CPIP924) and added some cut out pieces of a tape measure and some black stickers spelling out the words. I added a distressed piece of chipboard in the bottom left corner.

Special Tip:

Use the papers and the packing!
