JustRite Pasta & Shrimp--Yum!

For today's project I created something that would make a really fun gift or it could be something decorative to display in your kitchen and it's oh so yummy too! Who doesn't love pasta? Well, I know my family does and today I am going to share one of our favorite pasta recipes with all of you and a fun way to display your pasta and oils.

Here is the project I made.This was a very easy project to do and it really dresses up the containers. I started out with the oil & herbs bottle, using the 1-3/16'' Wood Stamper along with the Recipe Border & Centers Set and the Times New Roman 15 pt. Font from JustRite Stampers I created the center and border. As you can see in the picture below I trimmed the border so I would only have the words Gourmet Delights.Here is a close up of the stamps.For the center circle diecuts I used the Standard Circles Lg. S4-114 die templates from Spellbinders along with the Wizard and Classic Cream cardstock. I stamped using Tsukineko Memento, Rich Cocoa Ink and then I inked the edges with Distress Ink, Vintage Photo from Ranger. Then I used Honey Pie, Cosmo Cricket Designer Paper for the Standard and Scalloped diecut. I used the Standard Circles Sm. S4-116 and Petite Scalloped Circles Lg. S4-115 die templates from Spellbinders along with the Wizard to make the diecuts. To make the decorative band around the center of the bottle I used some Core'dinations cardstock from The Chocolate Collection, with an orange/peach core color and the Heirloom Scroll Border Grand S7-013 die template from Spellbinders along with the Wizard. The Core'dinations cardstock from The Chocolate Box Collection is so yummy, I love all of the rich brown colors! Once I cut and embossed the border then I sanded all of the edges and embossed areas to reveal the core color and really make the embossing pop.Just as a little note, you will be able to see from all of the photos I used the same paper and inks on each of the projects.

Here is the Pasta container.I'm not sure what the jar was originally used for but it's one that my Mom saved for me. She saves all different kinds of bottles, jars, boxes and different kinds of containers for me, because you just never know what you might want to alter. *wink*

Here's a couple pictures of the stamps I used to make the tag for the pasta.For the stamp I used the center from the Recipe Borders & Centers Set which I trimmed so I could just use the word Pasta and then I used a border from the Tiny Words Borders & Centers Set along with the 1-3/16'' Wood Stamper. Here's a close up of the stamp.Here is the recipe card for the Pasta and Shrimp. You can see a close up of the stamp in one of the pictures above.For the recipe card I used the 1-3/16'' Wood Stamper along with the Recipe Border & Centers Set and the Times New Roman 15 pt. Font from JustRite Stampers. My favorite thing about the JustRite Stampers is being able to mix and match with the stamps and make the perfect stamp for your project. I typed up the recipe on the Classic Cream cardstock and then I used Core'dinations and Cosmo Cricket papers to make the mat.
