Decorating a recipe card

Hi Friends,

It's been a long while since I last posted....have been so tight down with some personal matters which requires immediate attention. I am glad to be back and here demonstrating with the heart Cp2 punch and either using a Cp1 maple or oak leaf punch you can create a red juicy strawberry...giving you an idea to make a great recipe card.

I also used an oriental decorative border to create the borderlace and a decorative scissors to make lovely edges for the sides.

Hope you enjoy the idea!

You can always be creative even in collecting your favourite recipes!

This card I made with the Kreaxions punch to create the lace border and the flowers by carla craft medium punches and a mini punch. Flowers are embossed and assembled to form a daisy.

Knowing what boys will do with frogs here is a cute homemade embellishment that will be just perfect for your layout. This one is made with a oval punch, 2 different circles and a flower. The pocket was cut by hand.
