JustRite Friday Challenge #080 - More Than One Fold

I've got another fun challenge for you here at JustRite Inspiration. I even stump myself sometimes and barely got this one done in time. I sometimes wish I could see what you all make before I have to show you mine - LOL! At least these challenges make me try new things too and isn't that what it's all about?

For this challenge, I would like you to create a card with "More Than One Fold". This could be an easel card, criss cross card, tri-shutter card, gate fold, etc. I have seen some really great styles out there and cant wait to see what you guys come up with. Remember, it MUST be a card and MUST have more than one fold to qualify.

I chose a Criss Cross style card using Antique Christmas Tags One & Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves.

I intended it to hold the recipe card for a dessert dish that I plan to bring to a family gathering over the holiday weekend. You can get more details and additional pics of my project on my blog here.

Angela Barkhouse also joined in with this AMAZING Double Tri-Shutter card using Just The Right Words, Botanical Medallions & Banners, Seeds of Summer, Vintage Alphabet Soup BG, Elegant Fronds BG, and Fleuriste Newsprint BG....WOW!

************************

The Grand Prize Winner for JRC#080 will receive Bon Voyage and Greeting From Paris cling sets.

The 3 Honorable Mentions for JRC#080 will each receive Greetings From Paris cling set.

The Random Draw Winner for JRC#080 will receive Fleur De Lis Background.

JustRite Friday Challenge 041: Holiday Recipe Swap Winners!

Here are the winners of our JustRite Friday Challenge #041 Holiday Recipe Swap:

This week's grand prize winner, receiving TWO JustRite Cling stamp sets of your choice and a Mini Binder Box is:

Debbie Marcinkiewicz with this fabulous holiday clipboard:

 

Debbie designed this clipboard to hold the holiday menu, holiday to-do lists, or a favorite holiday recipe!  She used the "Believe" sentiment from our Christmas Nested Sentiments.  The sparkly glittered clips were made with the "Sweet Treats", "Merry Christmas from our house to yours" and snowman images from our Something Sweet set.   And the pretty green heart accent ("Sending a little love this holiday season") is from our Baking Centers set.  Click over to Debbie's blog to find the fabulous Candy Cane Brownie Lollipop recipe she has to share!

Three Honorable Mention winners, receiving a JustRite Cling stamp set of their choice, are:

1 - Bonnie McLain submitted with this wonderful gift ensemble for her quick & easy Almond Fudge recipe:

 

 

Bonnie used the holly image from our Holiday Cheer set for the box tags, and the holly wreath from our small oval Christmas Joy set -- Bonnie just omitted the "Joy" word from the center and then wrote in "Almond Fudge" for her recipe card and tag!

2 - Sheri Holt shares her recipe for yummy Apple Butter, with this pretty ensemble.  Sheri used the apple basket from our Autumn Blessings set to make a topper for her canning jar:

 

She also used our Brayton Uppercase font for her recipe title and a center from our Tiny Words set to accent the recipe card!

3 - Gini Cagle used the "Gourmet Hot Cocoa" stamp from our Baking Centers set for the tag on her darling teacup gift container:

 

She also used a border from our Christmas Nested Frames to give her teacup a "china pattern"!

 

Congratulations, ladies!  Please email me with your mailing address and stamp set choices and we will ship your prizes to you!  Please be sure to check back tomorrow for another JustRite Friday Challenge!

JustRite Friday Challenge 022: Summer Recipe Swap Sponsored by Spellbinders!

This Friday's Challenge is a Summer Recipe Swap!  You will need to somehow use your JustRite stamps to share your favorite Summertime (or any fun time) recipe with everyone.  Some examples might include a recipe card of your favorite Summer recipe, embellished with JustRite stamps (as I'm sharing below), a canned Summertime recipe/vegetable/fruit, etc. with perhaps a JustRite label on it, or maybe even a bag topper containing your favorite Summertime food, accented with JustRite stamps! 

One requirement of this challenge is to share the actual recipe with your blog or gallery readers, so they can find some new recipes!  Remember, you have the weekend and until next Thursday morning to make your challenge project and even if you choose not to play along, we hope you'll keep checking all the project thumbnail links below throughout the week, to find some new recipes!

This week's challenge is sponsored by Spellbinders (prizes are shown below) and as an added bonus, several of the Spellbinders design team members and also some of JustRite's designers already have some projects ready to link up for your enjoyment!  (Spellbinders and JustRite designers are, of course, not eligible for prizes).  So we hope you'll check back throughout the morning and day, to see those amazing projects and recipes! 

Also be sure to check the Spellbinders blog tomorrow (Saturday) and Tuesday, when they will be sharing special JustRite/Spellbinders recipe projects!

Here is one of my family's favorite dessert (or sometimes breakfast!) cake recipes, made with a year-round available favorite fruit -- apples!  The family recipe is from my sweet friend (and former JustRite design team member), Taylor Van Bruggen:

 My 4" x 6" recipe card uses JustRite's Recipe Borders & Centers set and is included in our 2010 JustRite Idea Book.  I stamped the "Family Favorite Recipes" demi-border with brown ink and "Cakes" separately with red ink.  The center image (accented with an apple cut out of the October Afternoon patterned paper) was die cut separately, layered onto a red die cut mat, and popped up over the border layer.  All cuts were made with Spellbinders Classic Circle Nestabilities:

The final layer to this recipe madallian is an olive Classic Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die cut.  Here's the copy and paste recipe for you:

Apple Cake with Caramel Sauce – Taylor Van Bruggen

Cake Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 eggs
6 apples; chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. soda
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup margarine; softened

Cake Instructions:  Cream sugar and margarine.  Add eggs.  Mix dry ingredients together and fold into sugar mixture.  Add chopped apples. Put in 9x13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (may need up to 50 minutes and should be nicely browned).

Caramel Sauce Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream

Caramel Sauce Instructions:  Combine butter and sugar in saucepan.  Melt over medium heat.  Add heavy cream and stir.  Boil until creamy consistency.  Serve warm over cake.
