Hi Peeps, took a break from baking today to make this sweet little recipe caddy. I’ve had these little clip boards for quite some time so I decided to paint it up, create the background and laminate to the clipboard so that I can actually use it :-) I used JustRite Homemade Treats Borders and Center to decorate my clipboard.
After constructing the background I stamped my Baked with Love sentiment and cut it using Spellbinders™ Standard Circles Small #3. I outlined that layer with a circle cut from Spellbinders™ Pinking Circles LG #2. After stamping the Just For You border from the JustRite set, I cut/embossed using Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Circles LG #3. Because this project could not take any dimension I simpled glued everything down to my background then laminated over it. The clipboards came from the $1 bin at A. C. Moores and I love them because you simply unscrew the clipping mechanism which let me get my background down without having to piece around it! So, while I was at it, I made a couple of recipe cards with the left over scraps and a bookmark for my recipe book from the paper ensemble I used.
Here’s the backside of my clipboard and bookmark. I love that the clipboard is designed to stand up. If you ever buy one that is not designed to stand, all you’ll need to do is drill a hole and insert a small piece of dowel. :-)

I can’t wait to do something like this.

Thank you so much.

This is amazing!I want to give this a try as I have a couple of bigger clipboards from Europe laying around not knowing what to do with them !They came over with us ten years ago when we moved to Canada! You give great instructions and teachings!!!!Thank you Becca!!!
This is fantastic!! It would be great to add to the gifts of Christmas cookies Or for a little gift for office friends !! Thanks for another great idea !!
Great Idea! And so pretty!
And the apron bookmark is priceless !!
I love this idea. Sooo great to hold a recipe up, easy to read while fixing that special something. I gotta find some of these clip boards!
I must get to the $ 1 bin after you do, since there’s never any good stuff in it when I get there! LOL Another great idea.

Love this! Would be such a cute gift idea! May have to CASE this one! TFS!
This is so cute and usable also. I have a shower to go to and am going to make one. It will go perfect with the recipe box I’m giving. Thanks for the great idea. Edna B.
Becca, I love this idea. It would make a really cute gift too. Thanks so much for sharing this.
What a great idea. Thanks.
This is precious, Becca. Do you happen to have a simple template for your apron bookmark? No AC’s around here, so will have to hope we have something close. I definitely want to make some of these as gifts. Perfect for new bride, housewarming, or even to give with our cookbooks for our fundraiser. Love it…
HOW ADORABLE IS THIS…..I LOVE IT……GREAT IDEA…..THANK YOU FOR SHARING…
Oh my goodness, this is just too cute, love it!
BECCA BECCA YOU ARE SO CLEVER. AND I AM SURE IT WOULD LOOK
BEAUTIFUL IN ANY KITCHEN.

What a great idea, Becca. If it gets something on it you just wipe it off. The whole set is a lovely reminder of your passion in the kitchen. A nice decorative accent piece too. Thanks for the inspiration. As always TFS!!! Becca. :-D
This is really cute. I just purchased a package of these clip boards Friday. Now I have a template to use. I am doing a recipe book so I am going to include this to the front pocket.
Thank you for sharing. Kathi
Hi Becca! Visits here are always so inspiring! Now I have something else to shop for! I didn’t know they made these to stand up! Your design is beautiful! The cheater card below is gorgeous and inspired!
Love the Tilda, though I’m not sure I commented on it! TFS!!!
Great idea! Go girl!!!
Just thought of something. If you can’t get the clipboards like yours,you could use chipboard and add a big clip to the top.
What a cute idea, and just in time for Mother’s Day! Thanks for sharing! :o)
[…] three of you will get one of those cute unfinished little clipboards that I used yesterday to make THIS. If you are one of the three, I’ll email you back to get your […]
Very cute idea. I have small boards at home and never knew what to do with them. Now I do.
very cute, and neat idea for a stand!
Love it! My recipe cards/books are so soiled by my hands when I’m cooking and looking at them.
Becca – such a great idea! I got to the AC M. store today and snatched up all of the mini clipboards they had – this is going to be such a cute project to teach and to give away!! For those of you who don’t have an AC close by – they do have an on-line store…….
Oh my gosh! I have several of these but never realized that the dowel was for standing! I threw the dowels away! I feel like such a dork..LOL!
Such a cute project. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
The mini clipboard is delightful. We don’t have AC Moores in San Diego but I appreciate the tip with the dowel.
Hi Becca,
No worry on spelling! Your work is GORGEOUS and that covers ANY mispelling!!!!
seperate you mean this word most of the time I just keep reading and don’t even notice. No big deal here.
Love the cards thanks for the inspiration!!!
