[lang_en]Recipe Card Gift Pail[/lang_en]

[lang_en]

This week’s challenge at the Sarah Kay Challenge Blog is to make something with a Sweet Treat theme. Chocolate, candy, cookies or cakes … mmm good theme huh? Well I decided to go with a cookie recipe card, and of course I had to make up a batch and make a gift pail to match. Hubby was really happy that I “needed” them for the photo shoot.

I pulled out one of my clear paint pails, and decorated the inside of it with a piece of My Minds Eye “Tres Jolie” pattern paper, the red is the back side of the pattern… love that! I cut a circle out of it with my Nestibilites and then a scallop from the solid side to go around the circle hole. Now not that I planned it – LOL – but the circle I cut out fit the top perfectly… so I attached it to the lid then stacked three Basic Grey flowers and a vintage button. Tied some matching gingham ribbon to the handles for fun. I typed out the recipe, and then matted with the solid, it took to 4×6 cards to fit everything so I matted the second as well then attached them together with adhesive. I inked the edges of everything and then white gel pen stitched the edges. I colored one of the sneak peak Sarah Kay images “Pinic Time”… (is it adorable or what!!!) I colored it with my Copics and white gel pen, then cut it out and placed it on the front of my recipe card.

Hope you enjoyed my cookies… wish I could send them out to everyone… they are yummy!
