Mmmmmmm cookies!

Hi! It's Lisa posting today with another food centred project!

I've copied this box from one I won in a raffle. It's a very simple design, but quite effective. I've filled it with a little bag of chocolate chips and a chocolate chip cookie recipe, hence the cookie digi on the front! The cookie has a bit out of it, so I just layered up a couple to cover up the bite marks so that it looks like a cookie stack. 

Last year I made notebooks for my children's teachers, this year they may all be getting cookie ingredients!!!! Hop on over to my blog for more details.

How about something different

Barb here - I needed to redo my pumpkin bar recipe card - it was so splattered, grease covered, etc that you could hardly read it anymore. I decided to make a 6 x 6 recipe page for the bars. I used the pumpkin digi image from I Brake For Digis to decorate my page. I cut out one pumpkin to place on the other side of the page to balance the design. I had a large brad there but I did not like that and the small pumpkin seemed perfect to me.

So remember you can use your digi images for other things besides cards.

In case you can't read the recipe - here it is -


PUMPKIN BARS

2 C. Flour 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp. baking powder 2 C. sugar
1 tsp. soda 1 C. salad oil
¼ tsp. salt 4 eggs
2 tsp. cinnamon 1 c. nuts (opt.)
16 oz. can pumpkin

Mix from pumpkin to flour and add nuts.
Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees in a
12 x 15 x 1 jelly roll pan.

Frosting:

3 ounce pkg. cream cheese
¼ cup margarine or butter
1 tsp vanilla
About 2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp milk

Beat and frost bars when cool.

Spring Time Bunny

Hi Everyone!

It's Karin posting a card made with this sweet bunny digi from the I Brake for Digi store.  I love tulips, so this image called to me immediately.  I added lace and pearls, because they seemed to fit the dainty look of the card.

Visit I Brake for Digis and see the great stamps available for spring and Easter!

Have a good day!

How many candles on your cake?

Lisa here to post today! I've had this cute candle coloured and waiting for a project for a week or so. I needed a card for a man of a certain age, so I thought the candle would fit the bill!

The potty background is vellum, attached with brads, and the wording is printed out from the PC. I wanted to keep it nice and simple- the recipient isn't one for fussy things! Now I'm wondering what I could do with a forest of smiley candles!!!!!

More Cupcakes

Good morning - it is Barb here sharing some more cupcake cards. If you have ever visited my blog - you will seethat on Monday's I celebrate Oldie Moldie Monday - which means I dig into my supply of paper andshow some love to some old paper. I had used some of this Basic Grey paper a couple weeks ago on a birthday cupcake card and enjoyed the results so wantedto use up some more of those same scraps on these cards. I did want to make a total of three cards but I got distracted by another project.

Once again I am showing the versatility of the digi stamp - how nice it is to be able to resize your image for different looks. The card that did not happen had 9 cupcakes on it in a bingo card line up. The little cupcakes are just bitesize.

I Brake For Digis has a large assortment of different designs in cupcakes - pop in and do some shopping for cupcakes - and then head to your craft room - I would love to see what you could bake up with a cupcake image.

Happy Hour Freddie

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and I have to say that the "Freddie" images from I Brake for Digis have to be among my favorites from the shop. This one is named Happy Hour Freddie and he looks like he wishes it was Friday instead of Monday today!

I added a stamped sentiment and pulled out my neglected brads for embellishments. I think they help to keep the card more masculine, since this will eventually make it's way to a guy.

Still, I had to add some Stickles to the jar and popped it up for some dimension.

Thanks for visiting and check out all of the Freddie stamps at I Brake For Digis!

Old Rugged Cross

Hi there and thanks for stopping by!
It's Ceal here to share with you, with Easter being right around the corner I have started on my cards. The Rugged Cross digi from I brake For Digis  is just perfect. I distressd my papers to make my card as rugged as possible to match.
Thanks for looking and have a glorious day!

The Brakefast Club Challenge #20 - Birthdays

Hi everyone!  Cat here with a new card for the Brakefast Club challenge running this week.  I just love the Freddie Frog images and this one is no exception.  I'm at the point in my life now that I don't like to celebrate my birthdays.  I'm too old and it takes too much effort to blow out all the candles - haha!  This little guy looks like I feel these days. :)  So, here is my card for the challenge:

Supplies:
Stamps: Senior Freddie (I Brake for Digis), sentiment (Create with TLC)
Papers: American Crafts cardstock, Bazzill cardstock, Wausau Exact Index 110# cardstock, digital patterned paper (Summertime Designs)
Tools & Embellishments: coloured pencils (Crayola), oms, Studio G ink, tearing ruler, ZigZag Stitch edge punch (EK Success)



Isn't he cute?  You can get him at the IBFD shop.  Don't forget to stop by my blog to get your 10% off discount code before you go shopping.  There is still time to play along with this week's challenge too.  A new challenge will be posted in the Brakefast Club challenge forum on Sunday, but you can always still do the older challenges also if you want.

Well, that's it for now.  Until next time....

Chocolates on a tag

Hi there! Lisa here with a tag to show you. I quite like making tags, especially for special presents and special people. I think this one might be for my friend whose birthday is very soon, and who has a very big heart and deserves a special tag on her birthday pressie. She's also someone who will appreciate that it is a special tag and that I've made it for her.

I Brake for Digis chocolate box coloured with Copics, a gorgeous Nesties tag base and some of my flowers that I'm now addicted to making and putting on everything. Finished off with a dash of sparkle and some liquid pearls.

Butterfly Frenzy

Good morning - Barb here - once again showing you the versatility of using digi stamps and sizing them to your needs.

I am sharing two cards I made using the butterfly image. I have 3 shots of the same card to show all the dimension in the card.

On the first card I used a small version of the butterfly and just stacked them three in a row. They were colored with Copic markers that perfectly matched the patterned paper (that was a happy accident that it matched so well.) I pop dotted the sentiment. This was a card I made over the week end for the virtual cardmaking party on Operation Write Home’s facebook page.

The second card is very dimensional. I used the same image but larger. I first printed it on paper, colored it and cut the image out with a spellbinder. I then colored two more images which I cut out. I bent the two cut out butterflies in the center so they had some dimension and layered them on top of each other on the card – I did post a close up of the butterfly. I really did not have a spot for the sentiment so added it on top slightly hanging over the top edge. I sent this to one of my daughters with her favorite Easter candy. Hopefully she enjoys both. The card is even a little “green” – the ribbon was recycled off of something I received – a plant or gift – I don’t remember – but it was so pretty I could not throw away and there was lots of it – just had to work around the wrinkles in the ribbon.

Everyone have a wonderful day. One more day of work and then I have a long week end. Maybe I will get some more housecleaning done. Hopefully more cardmaking done.

Congratulations!

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and this is the card I made for my niece who is graduating from high school in June.  Aren't these little graduation fish (Grad School) from the I Brake for Digis store the cutest thing?  All I did was color them in with my Copic markers and cut out the image with my Spellbinders die.  I cut out a couple of extra fish, put them on pop dots and added them to the bottom left corner. 

To give the illusion of bubbles in the water, I embossed some blue circles and glued them on for the background of my card and the sentiment is stamped.

If you need a fun new image for your card making, stop by the I Brake for Digis store today!

Two girls

Lisa here! I have a lovely little easel card to show you using the Two Friends IBFD digi.

No colouring! Well, just a little, ickle bit of Cool Grey 1 to shade the dresses. The girlies are cut out and decoupaged up twice- once for the dresses and once for the parasol and hat.

I added lots of clear stickles on to the dresses for a bit, well, a lot of added sparkle, and red for the flower.

The poppies are made using a technique I've explained on my blog, and they inspired the red polka dot ribbon. All in all, I'm rather chuffed with my no colouring card!

Tractors

Good evening - Barb here sharing a masculine card with you. I love my card - but isn't that one ugly color for a tractor - I knew I could not carry off the John Deere green color so went a different way - but the card is nice. Sometime you luck out with it comes to coordinating papers - I had one piece of paper I was going to use for this card - it was double sided - and then I bought some sheets of a new Basic Grey collection and it matched perfectly.

The digi image is from I Brake For Digis - I think it made a great masculine card to cheer someone and let them know how special they are.

Rugged Cross

Hi Everyone,

It's Karin posting today, and I just love that this Rugged Cross from I Brake for Digis gave me the opportunity to make a religious Easter card. 

It was so easy to color and I just added some flower and lace.  The sentiment is a traditional stamp from my supplies.

Stop by the I Brake for Digis store and see what spring time digis fit your crafting needs. 

Have a great day!
