paper: pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}: His own Christmas dinner

His own Christmas dinner

Our Christmas issue came out last week and I’ve been waiting to share this little project with you…just in case you find yourself with more time and the overcoming urge to create a handmade Christmas present. Presents for yourself included, of course.

Of course there are lots of Christmas projects for you to make in this issue, but with this one I’ll even get you started.

Holiday Recipe Box
{Of course there is no reason this has to be a Christmas project. Just sayin’.}

Supplies:
Cigar box, pencil box or other box with a hinged lid.
Patterned papers to cover. (I used Flair and Making Memories papers.)
Several sheets of a two colours of cardstock—I used a cream colour for writing on and a brick red for the background.
A sheet of stickers or other Christmas accents to spread throughout the project. (I used the postage stamps from Pebbles Inc, word strips from Colorbok and a label from Making Memories.)
Letter stamps and ink or your printer for the title. (Totally stamps for me. I love these. They are by Teesha Moore and you can get there here.)
This template

Download the template and print onto light coloured cardstock to make a stack of recipe card blanks. I used my corner rounder on the edges, then glued each recipe to the red background. The background was cut to fit just inside the box without making it impossible to get to the cards.
Fill in each recipe with all the dishes from your family.
Cover your box with papers using a permanent glue stick. Don’t worry about getting things to fold perfectly over the edges…that’s nigh on impossible. Instead, cut each piece slightly smaller than the panel it needs to cover, and leave all the edges of the box showing.
Once it’s covered in paper, unleash your embellishments. You’ll need to spread them through all the cards you’ve made too, so look for something that will go a long way. A little does a lot to make something coordinate. I used the Christmas postage stamps along with a tiny piece of green dotted paper.

Through Christmas, take pictures as you make each dish and add the photo to the back of each recipe card.

Have a happy day, whether it’s a holiday or not.

    I just couldn’t wait for the Xmas issue to drop on my mat.. It is full of fabby ideas & I hope I can find some extra time to make a few bits. However I plan to make my own gift bags (she says never having attempted before & maths not her strongest subject..hehehe)
