Recipe Cards and Tutorial

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.

or

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!

Healthy Halloween: Haunted Breakfast Freebie




Download Here



Healthy Halloween: Haunted Breakfast
Fun and healthy break from Halloween sweets.

Eerie Eyeballs
For Two Eyes:
2 Apple rings
1 Dried Apricot
1 Raisin

For each pair of eyes, gently flatten two dried apple rings with the palm of your hand. Slice a dried apricot through the middle so that you end up with two circular halves. Press a half, sticky side down, onto the center of an apple ring, covering the hole. For pupils, use kitchen scissors to cut a raisin in two, and press the halves, sticky side down, onto the apricots.


Ghost Toasts
White Bread (1 slice per ghost)
Whipped cream cheese
Rasins

For each, toast a slice of white bread and then cut a ghost shape from it. You can do this freehand using a knife, or you can use a gingerbread-girl cookie cutter. When the cutouts have cooled, spread on a generous coating of whipped cream cheese. For eyes and mouths, add raisins.





Here's Mine: I cut the ghosts out of the bread first and then toasted them. My daughter doesn't love cream cheese so I used 'Smart Balance'. she really enjoyed the surprise this morning!

Healthy Halloween: 'Finger' Foods Freebie




Download Here


Carrot-Finger Food

Vegetable dip
5 baby carrots
softened cream cheese
sliced-almond

Cut a flat, shallow notch in the tip of each carrot.
Put a dab of dip or softened cream cheese to 'glue' a sliced-almond fingernail atop each notch.
Serve with extra baby carrots, black olives, bell peppers, etc for dipping.





Cheese-Finger Food
Mozzarella string cheese
Green bell pepper
Cream cheese

Wearing plastic gloves or sandwich bags over your hands to keep the cheese as smudge-free as possible, use a paring knife to cut each string in half and then carve a shallow area for a fingernail just below the rounded end of each half.

Mark the joint right below the nail as well as the knuckle joint by carving out tiny horizontal wedges of cheese, as pictured.

For the fingernails, slice a green bell pepper into 3/8-inch-wide strips. Set the strips skin side down on your work surface and trim the pulp so that it's about half as thick. Then cut the strips into ragged-topped nail shapes and stick them in place at the ends of the fingers with dabs of cream cheese.




Here's mine. I used Greek Cucumber Garlic Dip.

I sort of laid them back a bit since my dip wasn't plaster thick.
