Recipe Card Gift Idea
Hi friends, Lisa here today! I have a cute project featuring sequins and seed beads along with the Birdie Friends and Rainy Days stamps and dies. With wedding season upon us, I thought this would be a fun shower gift!
I began with a Soft Stone card stock cut to recipe card size. Using the Stitched Tabs Dies, I cut the tops of the panels for divider tabs.
Next, I dry embossed portions of the dividers using a complimentary embossing folder.
I made a small pouch from an office supply product. This had several small pouches on one sheet that would fit into a notebook. I cut one of the pouches leaving two of the pre-adhered sides intact. I stitched the bottom with my sewing machine then filled it with 6mm Marigold Sequins, 4mm & 6mm Marshmallow Sequins, 10mm Sparkling Clear Sequins and Silver Shimmer Seed Beads. The top was stitched shut and the pouch was added to the front divider with Thermo Web adhesive.
The sweet bird from the Birdie Friends stamp set was stamped, die cut and water colored. It’s added to the decorated panel with two layers of foam tape. A bit of Wink of Stella was added for good measure!
Everything was tied together with Yellow Chevron Twill ribbon. Using a Stitched Tags Die, I stamped a sentiment from the Rainy Days Stamp Set then decorated it with matching sequins and seed beads.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
Now that’s just one clever gift idea! Really cute!

What a totally creative idea Lisa! Love your project!
Super cute idea!
how stinking cute LIsa! and what a beautiful gift and great idea!
What a nice gift and presentation. I like the sequin pouch. It’s good to have the option to sew the pouch closed or use the fuse tool. Lovely showcase.
Love the idea and have your dies so will have a go but do you have a template for the recipe cards, that will finish off the gift idea. Thanks for sharing and giving me the ideas. Just beautiful.
Hi Paulina & Lisa ~ This is a fantastic idea. My son is getting married in the spring and we’re doing a “favorite recipe” for his fiancee’s bridal shower. I’m totally going to CASE this idea!
