Laser Cut Recipe Box and Matching Embroidery

Laser Cut Recipe Box and Matching Embroidery from Hugs are Fun
Josh’s sister is getting married in July and her bridal shower was last weekend. The invitation came from Casalastudio on Etsy and I used the design to make a few gifts.

Along with the invitation, everyone got recipe cards to share their favorite recipes. I briefly debated painting a recipe box for her, but instead talked to Jen from 52 lasers about etching it with the laser cutter. Originally I had planned on painted the letters after it was etched, but it turned out so amazing I didn’t want to risk messing it up. The banner underneath has their wedding date on it.

Next I made an embroidery with the same design. I used Kreinik silk mori and it was so amazing to stitch with! I had received the silk mori months ago but I was so nervous to try it out, I didn’t want to waste it on any old project, but this gift seemed the perfect occasion to use it. The silk was so soft and the colors are so rich.

I really loved working with the silk and plan to do it more often!

Cross stitch will always be my favorite, but I’m getting a soft spot for embroidery. I definitely appreciate the speed of it!

      Thanks so much! I feel weird about how much embroidery I’ve been doing lately, I’ve always been a cross stitch girl at heart. But I love the results and I’m having a lot of fun with it!
