Cool Card

Difficulty: *
     I was making a birthday card for my cousin, but I wanted something with lots of color. Here is what you will need..

• A smaller piece of white paper. (First cut it in half then,cut a little off the top and sides.)
• Multi-colored post-its.
• Clear contact paper.
• Your choice of colored paper.

     Take your multi-colored post-its and cut them into even pieces. Put them on your small white piece of paper you prepared before. When you like the design (the look is suppose to look scattered) take the contact paper and cut a piece (a little bigger than the white piece of paper). Carefully peel the back and lay it on your work. (make sure that the sticky part does not have any thing on it) After it is layed, fold the corners, and stick it on the back. (check to see if your work is coming out how you want it.) Glue it to a folded piece of colored paper. Design the card how you like it and.... TA-DA!! You have a wonderful card to give to someone.

Peppermint Meringues

Ingredients:

3 large egg whites, room temperature

1/8 tsp. kosher salt

1/3 cup sugar

1/8 tsp. peppermint extract

12 drops of food coloring

     Preheat oven to 200 degrees. line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt on medium-high speed until white and foamy, about 1 minute. With the mixer running, gradually add sugar in 3 additions, beating for 2 minutes between each addition. Beat until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes longer. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract; Beat to blend, about 1 minute.

     Dot coloring over surface of meringue; DO NOT STIR (the coloring will form swirls when piped). Spoon meringue into a pastry bag, and cut the end about 1/2". (for an alternative use a plastic freezer bag) Twist top; pipe 1"rounds onto prepared sheet, spacing 1" apart.
     Bake meringues until dry, about 2 1/2 hours. Let cool completely, about 1 hour (meringues will crisp as they cool) Do Ahead: Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature between sheets of parchment or waxed paper.

I am making this recipe on Saturday. In the comments, I will share my experience!

Pretty Produce

Difficulty: ***
 Did you know that a rose hides inside every head of celery? Find one with this easy printing project!

First, pull a stalk from a head of celery and set it aside Slice through the head a few inches from the base. *** I used my celery stamp to decorate cards made from white card stock. Place the card on a folded piece of newspaper. Use a sponge brush to dab the cut surface of the celery with red or pink paint, then press it onto the card.

Trim the end of the remaining celery stalk to give it a clean edge. Brush the ends with green paint  and stamp it onto the card twice for each leaf.

*** The closer the base of the head celery you cut, the closer together the rose's petals will be.

I hope you like this craft!!!!!

Crafts

The types of crafts I will tell you in the future are things made out of house hold items. I like to use ribbon, empty coffee cans, string, etc. I will post many crafts, some more difficult than the others. I will have a number of stars. The more stars it has, the harder the craft is. If you wants a super, simple craft you will look for a one or two star craft.
