This is a recipe folder I made to send to a favorite aunt when she asked for a few of my dessert recipes after a recent family get together. A very simple gatefold style card with a pocket inside to hold the recipe cards and some room for a short note.
This stamped image is one of my favorites from Penny Black; a stamp I had purchased from J's Knicknacks several months ago and had been itching to use for the longest time! I always feel so guilty buying new stamps...I already have a ridiculously immense collection (circa 1990), and honestly, I need more stamps like I need a hole in my head. Nowadays, there are so many new companies with so many fresh and cute stamps, it's so hard to resist! Well, happy to say, no regrets about buying this one. I think these mousies are so cute, and I really had fun coloring them in with my old Aquarell pencils and Dove blender. It made me remember why I enjoyed stamping so much in the past!
Used Nestabilities dies to cut the circle and scalloped circle and added some matching ribbon for a simple finishing touch. Used my original stamped and colored image to create matching recipe cards.
