Recipe Cards and Tutorial

2012-02-08T12:58:00.000-06:00

By Creative Team Member, Katherine Lent

If you're a fan of Saxon's then you'll notice that Saxon loves theme kits!

One of my favorite themes are the food and cooking kits she has done.

Over the years I have made lots of recipe cards with them.

Browse through our recipe card collection, here,

and start making your own. Here's how!

Continued below...

For Photoshop users:

Set up an new custom preset with 6" x4" measurements.

Use the 12x12 preset, and resize to 6x4 when done with the card LO.

Be inspired by one of Saxon's kit and choose your recipe.

Copy and paste the text making sure that you have the ingredients list

and the instructions. If the instructions are too long you'll want to edit

or make it a two-card set.

Upload a photo of your dish or search online for something similar

First edit the image if needed and 'up' those pixels to 300

and place on your card.

*IMAGE> Image Size> Resolution, 300

Choose a FONT for the title that best expresses the dish

and choose a second one for the text of the recipe that is easy to read.

Add a background paper that is not too busy.

*If you have used a 6x4 size document, scale the background paper to fit.

*EDIT> Transform> Scale, change the 100% numbers to 50%,

Apply, and drag and resize as needed.

Try changing the opacity settings if adjustments need

to be made to a favorite paper.

*Opacity slider on the layers palette.

Or try adjusting the color for a customized paper by going to

IMAGE> Adjustments >Variations. (add a layer of white underneath it!)

Add a frame on the photograph or create your own STROKE.

Layer some elements and save.

If you used the 12x12 size now resize to 6x4.

*IMAGE> Image Size > Document Size, 6x4

Save as a high quality jpg and print or send to your favorite lab.

Keep your recipes in any 4x6 photo album.

Great to take to the grocery store since all the ingredients are

listed for all your favorite recipes!

Make one for meals, side, desserts, even appetizers!

Have fun!!

Let us know if you have any questions!

One of Mandy's CT’s – the very talented Lori – used this kit to create her Christmas card this year and she very generously offered to save it as a QP so that we could share it with YOU (and she even included a very handy set of tips for printing!)! To download, click here or on the preview!

New This Week: Fishing Guy, plus Vintage Frames and lots of Textures!

2011-07-17T10:21:00.000-05:00

Fishing Guy

Is your guy a Fishing Guy? Mine sure is! There's nothing better than heading out into nature to sit & wait for the Big One. I took some time to paper piece fishing essentials so that you can capture all of those moments in your layouts.

This product includes 8 papers and 20 unique elements which include: 4 unique fish, 1 paper pieced bobber border, 1 tag, 4 pieces of ephemera, 1 journaling spot, 1 rope net corner, 2 photo corners - 1 embellished, 1 frame, 1 stitching, 1 fishing hook (with separate shadow), and 1 vintage button.

My Colors started as a stash-building huge pack of 45 background papers. It has morphed into a sequel, frames, flourishes, paper mattes, rips, & now curls. My Colors are the perfect stash-building product! This product includes 45 curled papers. Each is perfectly coordinated with my popular My Colors series.

Underlayers

Do you have a favorite shirt that you use under your sweatshirt or sweater? You know - your favorite underlayer? Here's a set of underlayers for your scrapbook pages! Each of underlayers already has a canvas texture, but they can be recolored or clipped with photos or papers to perfectly compliment your layout! This product includes 6 .png underlayers elements.

Worn Textures

Some of my favorite papers are worn textures! The textures. The feeling. Everything about it. I want to share my love of textures with you. And what better form than a pack of commerical use papers!? Use this pack to create designs to use in your paper packs or kits - or even use them as a base to your own personal layouts!
This product includes 6 .jpg worn texture papers. Also available for CU.

Used Frames

Have you ever flipped through your old baby or family albums and drooled over the old time, unique frames? It's the one time I have a moment where I wish I still paper scrapped. So I decided to recreate a set of those old, used frames for all of my digital scrapping needs. This product includes 6 .png used frames. Also available for CU.

Metal Maniac - Graphic Splats

These graphic splats are one of my favorite things to use on layouts! They are so versatile and funky. I've done all the work for you – just add them to your layout & you've got a quick & easy artistic addition that looks like you took lots of time, when in fact, you didn’t! This product includes 4 unique graphic splats.

Last week we had 'Camping Guy', this week it's 'Golfing Guy'.

Golfing Guy by Saxon Holt

Is your guy a Golfing Guy? Mine sure is! There's nothing better than heading out at the crack of dawn to shoot a round. I took some time to paper piece some golfing essentials so that you can capture all of those golfing moments in your layouts.

This product includes 8 papers and 20 unique elements which include: 1 paper pieced golf cart, 1 12x12 golf ball overlay, a piece of word art, stitching (both with & without shadows), cluster frame, doodle golf bag, grass border (both with & without shadows), a golf tee, a stitching border, decorative paper pieced border, a scorecard, a doodle golf ball on a tee, 2 doodle/torn paper borders, a doodle golf club, a pair of doodle clubs, a pre-shadowed curled frame cluster embellished with a doodle golf bag, a scrunched ribbon, a paper swirl, & a decorative embellished title.

PS- Get your golf partner up to speed with these 'adult' golf expressions!

Canvas Textures by Saxon Holt

I love a good piece of canvas! The textures. The feeling. Everything about it. I want to share my love of canvas textures with you. And what better form than a pack of well-textured papers that you can re-color to perfectly match your layout! This product includes 6 .jpg canvas texture papers - each can easily be recolored to coordinate with your photos & elements.

IS IT REAL, OR IS IT.....? Stamped Up, a new alpha series

2011-07-06T05:00:00.001-05:00

Handcut Alpha by Saxon Holt

Want to know a little known fact about me? I'm an alpha hoarder. When I see the perfect alpha I snatch it up! I'm constantly on the look for new & different alphabets to add to my stash. Handcut Alpha is part of an alpha series that I call Stamped Up! Each letter looks like you hand stamped it onto the page.

This product includes 2 different uppercase alphabets, numbers, & punctuations. The letters are included as individual files as well as on large sheets. This alpha can be easily recolored to coordinate with your layout.

FAR OUT!: Take off with Space Race

2011-07-04T05:00:00.001-05:00

New this week!

Space Race by Saxon Holt

Space Race is a fresh and unique twist on a popular theme. Felt embellishments, paper-piecings and cosmic splatters are just some of the out-of-this-world embellies you’ll find in this kit. The space shuttle is set to launch for the last time on July 8th, and I thought a kit all about the space race would be appropriate given how many of us grew up watching shuttle launches and thinking about the cosmos. Maybe you aren’t as interested in space as you are Star Trek or Dr. Who? This kit would work for you as well! Be sure to check out the coordinating clusters and word art for more scrapping possibilities!

This product includes 1 full alpha including numbers and punctuation, 14 papers, and 45 elements that include: 9 felt, stitched planets, 1 felt, stitched asteroid, 1 felt and stitched sun, 1 felt and stitched moon, 1 felt and stitched spiral galaxy, 1 felt and stitched comet, 2 wire bead strings, 2 cosmic splatters, 1 cosmic splatter with stars, 1 space station, 1 shuttle, 1 satellite, 1 astronaut, 1 shuttle capsule, 2 planets in order (one with Pluto and one without), 1 stitched border, 4 frames (2 clustered and 2 singles), 2 star splatters, 1 journal block, 1 curled-edged paper matte, 1 curled border, 1 star underlayer, 1 circular matte, 3 stamped word-arts, 1 stitched 12x12 border, 1 stapled ribbon, 1 string, 1 grouped wire bundle.

Be sure to check out the additional previews for MANY examples of the kit in action as well as close-ups & individual paper and element previews. Like what you see? Be sure to get the coordinating Space Race Word Art & Space Race Clusters. All papers are 12x12" jpg files unless they are 12x12 mattes which will be png files. All elements are created as png files. Layered elements are shadowed for realism. Everything created at 300dpi.

Farmer Ikea by Saxon Holt

Farmer Ikea is a brightly colored farm kit suitable for all sorts of scrapping experiences. The felt and paper-pieced embellishments and funky animals will revitalize your scrapping mojo!

This product includes 14 papers and 54 unique elements which include: 1 felt barn with silo, 1 stamped duck edge, 1 rooster overlay, 8 paper farm animals, 10 farm frames with animals, 1 set of stitching, 1 chicken-wire background, 1 stiched string, 1 stitched rope, 11 fabric animal tags, 1 paper underlayer, 1 doodled matte, 1 12x12 edge, 1 cow border, 5 felt and button animal page-dots, 1 paper-pieced pitchfork, 1 cow, 1 grass border in shadowed and unshadowed, 1 split-rail fence, 1 haystack, 1 pig border, 1 paper-pieced tractor, 1 cow-crossing sign, 1 word-art, 1 date wheel.
