RECIPE JOURNAL BOOK WITH XYRON

Hello to all!!!

Cooking your favourite recipe can always be fun and stress busting. I love collecting recipes and trying them out. My family loves my cooking and we have great fun eating together

I have many recipe journals and note books where I have noted down many recipes over the years.. Some have been handed down over many generations.

I decided to make a recipe journal using Xyron laminating machine and what fun it was to create this.
The lamination protects my recipes and special notes from messy fingers and stains while cooking.
The Creative Station by Xyron is an excellent machine that can protect your important memoirs by laminating them. It is an easy and quick method and imparts long life to your projects.

Here is my RECIPE JOURNAL BOOK made with Xyron.

Recipe Journal book

Cut out the recipe cards and pattern paper and other journal tags 

from the Cooking themed pattern paper

 Pass the cut outs from the 1.5" sticker machine.

Susan's garden Note card holder

      

This is Anita here . Cards are such beautiful things to light up a dull moment. We all give and receive cards all the time. So keeping that in mind, I have a note card stand made with Elizabeth Craft Design dies made with Susan's Flowers. This can be displayed and has a beautiful sentiment to inspire you.    

   

1. Cut two pieces of Gate fold Elegant Roses die . Fold and score the flaps and using the double sided tape adhere the two pieces back to back to make the base.
2.  Cut a card base using the dotted scallop rectangle die and adhere a matching pattern paper to it using double sided tape. Cut a small die cut rectangle and stamp the sentiment. Cut a smaller frame and adhere to the sentiment in a way shown away.
3.  Adhere this on the card base.
4. Cut die cuts from Susan's  lily flower die. Color with Pan Pastels and shape and mold the flowers and leaves . Attach them on to the base and top of the card.
5. Insert the card in the Elegant roses base and to make it stand, use the back of the card for support.

Holiday card with Xyron

Hello Crafty people

Christmas is just a few months away and preparations are already in full swing. One major work during the festive season is card making. We need to make a large number of cards and if the process is prolonged and messy then, the fun process becomes very tedious.
Here Xyron comes to help making the task very easy, fun and mess free.

Here I have a holiday shaker card made with Xyron adhesives.

Instructions

Cut a card base 5.5 "x 4.24". 

Using a rectangle die, cut a frame from glitter paper and another frame from white foam sheet.

Pass the foam sheet and the glitter frame through the 5"creative station.

Turn the foam sheet over and pass it through the machine one more time so that there is adhesive on both sides of the foam frame .

Cut a transparent sheet to the size of the frame.

Stamp images of snow trees and colour. Add a sentiment.

Remove the backing paper from the foam frame and adhere to the card base. 

Add sequins and lay down the transparent sheet to cover. 

Using the tape runner, add adhesive on the transparent border.

Adhere the glitter frame. 

Cut die cuts from banner dies and pass them through one inch sticker maker.

Remove the backing paper and apply glitter.

Adhere the banners on top of the card.
