How To Make A Farmhouse Recipe Book

Crew member Viktoriya Porechnaya inspired us on the blog today with a new recipe book idea that is fun and easy to do.  Recipes, cooking, food and crafts are all things we love and when they come together it is even more fun. Preserving recipes is near and dear to our heart and making a place to do that and keep forever is extra special.  

This recipe book was created with the Canvas Corp Farmhouse Kitchen Mix and Match Pad.  Each Mix and Match pad is filled with assorted papers, fabrics and textures that are great for making projects like this.  The Farmhouse Kitchen Pad is filled with vintage kitchen art printed on kraft and ivory papers and perfectly neutral to coordinate with any theme or color story you have in mind.

This book has three sections and is decorated with stamps and fussy cut details.  You can stand it on the kitchen table and use it to look at your recipes – it’s more comfortable for using then just cook book because it can stand where you need it to! Plus, you can always change out your pages if you want or add to it!

Tools Used:

Scissors
Rule

Crop-A-Dile
Stamps

Step 1- Cut kraft cardstock for pages – my size 5 x 5.5  “

 

Step 2 – Choose the papers you like the best and cut the patterned cardstock for 3 separations.  You can fussy cut kitchen details from the pages or leave them as they are.  There are words, icons, signs and sayings to choose from.  Canvas Corp offers a range of artwork embellishments that make it so easy to create with.

 

Step 3 – Cut thick cardboard, fabric and burlap for covers and glue to cardboard. Decorate cover with burlap, fabric, lace, buttons and cord.

 

Step 4 – Glue kraft patterned cardsock on the back of covers.

 

Step 5- Make a pocket from kraft cardstock and glue to back cover.  You can also use envelopes to store you recipes.

 

Step 6 – Make holes with a Crop-A-Dile and set eyelets

 

Step 7- Decorate pages using stamps and gesso sprinkles.

 

Step 8- Gather pages, separators and two covers on rings. That’s all!

Terrific idea for Christmas gifts for mom, sisters, sisters-in-law, friends and even the kid’s teachers.  For more of Viktoyria’s work visit her blog.
