Recipe Cards
Come to class and create four custom recipe cards and a cute folder to hold them in. This adorable project will make a great gift or just something special for you for your most treasured recipes. There will be a variety of choices in stencils, ink colors, and the folder title (i.e.. Secret Recipes, Family Recipes, Recipes, or Favorite Recipes). Since there will be a variety of choices, your recipe cards and folder could have a different look than the sample. Stencil use is “first come, first serve” and each person will have to use a different set.  If you have favorite stencils, ink colors, or blending brushes that you would like to use, feel free to bring them along. Please bring glue, foam dots, and a scoring board. It's not necessary, but if you would like to bring a favorite recipe or an interesting cooking/baking story to share with the group, that would be fun!
