Recipe Cards

I made these cards for a game themed swap. I chose Candyland and the recipe is Chocolate dipped oreo pops. I scanned a picture of the Candyland game, stamped dice on it, heat embossed the dice in white and filled the dots in with black marker. Then I stamped a pawn, cut it out, embossed it with ultra thick embossing powder and pop dotted it on the card. The hardest part was cutting everything out. The paper is 6x12 and folded in half so I had 4 sides to work on. They took awhile to make, but I think they came out ok. I am also including a cute recipe for a Candyland game sheet cake. I will include the recipe here for you.

Here is a picture of the Candyland cake.

And here is the recipe:

I AM NOT REALLY A COOK, ACTUALLY I HATE TO COOK! AND I DONT MAKE RECIPE CARDS EITHER... HOWEVER, THIS AWESOME LADY FROM THE MOST AMAZING GROUP HAS SUCH GREAT & UNIQUE RECIPE SWAPS THAT I CANT RESIST SOME OF THEM... AND THIS IS FOR A DISNEY MOVIE SWAP. I TOOK THE SPOT OF DUMBO AND AM USING A CIRCUS THEME... MY RECIPE IS FOR CANDY APPLES.


HERE I USED AN APPLE PUNCH AND A SU WINDOW PUNCH TO MAKE THE APPLES. I THEN TOOK A VERSAMARK PAD AND SOME SU EMBOSSING POWDER AND MADE THE APPLES SHINY.

THE BACKS OF THE APPLES HAVE THE INGREDIENTS.... AGAIN USING SU PUNCHES, I WAS ABLE TO FIT THEM PERFECTLY ON THE BACKS.

THIS IS A SIZZIX DIE THAT I PIECED TOGETHER AND ALTERED... USED SOME STICKLES AND A MICKEY HEAD PUNCH CUTTING OFF THE BOTTOMS TO MAKE A HAT FOR DUMBO.

ANOTHER SIZZIX DIE FOR THE TENT. AGAIN PIECED AND STICKLED.

HERE IS THE FINISHED FRONT OF THE CARD. THE APPLE TUCKS AWAY BEHIND THE TENT. THE TENT AND MOON ARE BOTH POP DOTTED TO ADD DIMENSION.
