Paper Crafts New Book

PC Gourmet

This books looks totally awesome. I have a little sneak peak to share today :). The book features over 50 original recipes from familiar designers. There are comprehensive ingredient lists and instructions for both the recipes and the paper projects in the book. Today I get to share a sample recipe and project created by Alisa Bangerter.

The recipe:

Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits

Designer: Alisa Bangerter

This is a perfect recipe to pull out if you are short on time because there is no rolling or cutting. The cheese and garlic add extra kick to a plain biscuit, and kids love them. They are the perfect accompaniment to serve with soups or stews, and are great served with a salad.

INGREDIENTS

2 c. flour

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2/3 c. butter or margarine

1 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese

1 1/4 c. milk

Chives (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Mix together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until mixture is fine. Add cheese and mix well. Add milk and stir until just moistened. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Sprinkle top with chopped dried or fresh chives if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 15 minutes.

And the project:

1 Make tag from cardstock. 2 Crumple tag and smooth out. Spray edges with color wash; let dry. Apply chalk. 3 Ink chipboard moon; let dry. Chalk edges and adhere. 4 Ink chipboard bat; let dry. Adhere with foam tape. 5 Print sentiment on cardstock; trim and tear edges. Chalk edges and adhere with foam tape. Attach brads. Attach ribbon with brad.

And here is my interpretation:






Funny story: I discovered I am out of black brads unless I wanted to use Mickey Mouse ears, LOL! So I ended up stapling my "enjoy" and the ribbon. I also printed out my moon and bat onto cardstock and cut them out with a craft knife.

My daughter bit into one of the biscuits and her eyes got big. "Yummy!" she said. Talk about quick and easy. Start to finish was less than an hour for both projects. I can't wait to share with my neighbor when she gets home this afternoon :D.

So head over to Paper Crafts Magazine and take another look at this book. I don't think you'll regret it.
