Bridal Shower Recipe Box (Summer 2010)


I had the privileged since I was the 'matron of honor' for my sister Rachelle's wedding to plan her bridal shower. We had a little garden/tea party theme. I asked all the guests to bring a recipe on a 3x5 recipe card of their favorite dish or dessert.

Here are more photos of the finished project...

I made this recipe box from a Provo Craft Mini Lunch Tin. I used a scrapbook paper kit I found at Michaels craft store and a Stampin'Up recipe stamp set. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out!!



I stamped the recipe card on some white cardstock and scanned it into my computer. I added in the "{ }" the word 'marriage' and at the top it says 'from the kitchen of' the idea is that everyone write a recipe for a good marriage to Rachelle. These went in the recipe box as well along with the recipes the guests brought.

These are the stamps I used. You can get them online at www.stampinup.com

    I just checked it is there :) The name is "From The Kitchen Of" and it is under wood mounted stamps in elements I believe :)

    I did buy them a few years ago. You could do this with the regular tin as well. I can not remember where I got them. I will look around and see if I can find them..

    Oh, and I have to do 3x5 because the invitations I picked are 5.25X5.25 so even though I would rather do the 4x6 cards they won't fit... darn it...

    I am so sad.. I can not find the tins anywhere!! I would check your local Joanns or Michaels if anything... I know that I have seen them at Michaels a while ago... So sad :( If not, I know Michaels has recipe boxes in the $1.00-$1.50 section. You could always use one of those... sigh I am sorry about that

    Those recipe card holders are really good to preserve your recipe cards.
