Hello to those of you who have popped by today. I always love to see the countries that you come from – this shows in my WordPress reports each day.
I would love you to leave a comment and tell me where you’re from – more than just the country. The reason, I invite you to do this, is because my husband and I love to travel and I enjoy discovering new places. Who knows, one day we might meet and craft together.
For today’s project I chose the What’s Cookin’ Bundle. As soon as I saw this bundle, in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, I knew it would be on my wishlist. I have always loved cooking and was a Home Economics teacher for most of my 35 years of teaching. (P.S. I also really loved sewing and textiles and everything Home Ec related).
I also wanted to use the Give It a Whirl Dies to have some fun. I began by cutting the key components of the ‘whirl’ mechanism. This allowed me to position the stitched rectangle shape for the top layer. Then I was able to make some faint pencil outlines on the spinning circle to be able to stamp the three elements that you see when the scalloped spinner: ‘Happiness is Homemade’, ‘What’s Cookin’?’, and the three chefs’ toques.
After the three elements were stamped, I went on to the front panel. I used my Stamparatus to carefully position the mixing bowl so that I could step stamp five bowls. I used Soft Sea Foam to stamp the bowls.
I stamped and fussy cut four of the utensils to position onto the upper layer – using Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Gray Granite. The egg lifter was cut, from Basic Gray cardstock, using the lifter from the Cookin’ Dies. Before adhering this top layer, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I stamped the saucepans image around the outer edges of the card front. This allowed sufficient space for the turning mechanism to work effectively.
I stamped the chef toques onto the card insert and envelope front.
This is what the collection, of most of the products I used for this project, looks like. I was so excited to see brads return to our catalogue. The Round & Square Brads, in black and white, will be so incredibly useful!
What do you think of my SPINNER, SPINNER … WHAT’S FOR DINNER? card? I am very pleased with my first adventure with this bundle and am starting to think of other ways to use it.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
