>> "CREATIVE LIVING,"
UTILIZING TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY
WITH THE BEST OF THE PAST
TO BRING YOU INNOVATIVE IDEAS
AND UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION
FOR CREATIVE LIFESTYLES
IN TODAY'S ACTIVE WORLD,
WITH YOUR HOST SHERYL BORDEN.
>> I'M SO GLAD YOU JOINED ME
TODAY FOR "CREATIVE LIVING."
WE'RE GOING TO LEARN TO DECORATE
COOKIES WITH A WATERCOLOR
TECHNIQUE, WE'LL SHOW HOW TO
MAKE A WALL HANGING USING AN OLD
VINYL RECORD, AND THEN WE'LL
DEMONSTRATE SOME TURKEY RECIPES
FOR FAMILY CELEBRATIONS.
ONE OF MY GUESTS IS NANCY SILER
AND SHE'S WITH WILTON BRANDS
IN WOODRIDGE, ILLINOIS. NANCY'S
GOING TO SHOW HOW TO GIVE A
BUTTERFLY COOKIE A PAINTED
EFFECT USING THIN ROYAL
OR COOKIE ICING TO CREATE A
KALEIDOSCOPE PATTERN. THEN SHE
ADDS OTHER ITEMS FOR ADDED
FLAIR. ANOTHER GUEST IS LISA
ROJAS AND SHE'S A MIXED-MEDIA
ARTIST AND DESIGNER FROM
VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA. LISA'S
GOING TO BE USING GRAPHIC 45
PAPERS, A VINYL RECORD, AND
EMBELLISHMENTS TO CREATE A
BEAUTIFUL WALL HANGING. HER
BUSINESS IS STAMPIN' QUEEN
CREATIONS. AND FINALLY, WE'LL
TALK TO MARTY VAN NESS AND SHE'S
A HOME ECONOMIST FOR BUTTERBALL.
MARTY'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT
GO-TO RECIPES FOR FAMILY
CELEBRATIONS, INCLUDING SNACK
IDEAS FOR KIDS, HEALTHY LUNCH
IDEAS, AND EVEN IDEAS
FOR USING LEFTOVER TURKEY.
SHE ALSO HAS INNOVATIVE
TURKEY RECIPES FOR DINNERTIME
THAT SHE'LL SHARE WITH US.
MARTY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US TODAY. EVER SINCE
MY HUSBAND HAD HEART SURGERY
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WE HAVE USED
TURKEY IN SOME OF THE MOST
INVENTIVE WAYS. AND WHAT I LOVE,
THOUGH, IS THAT I FOUND THAT
ALL OF THE RECIPES I USED BEFORE
THAT CALLED FOR BEEF CAN ALMOST
ALL BE SUBSTITUTED WITH
ONE TYPE OF TURKEY.
>> ABSOLUTELY, SHERYL. TURKEY
IS A GREAT LEAN PROTEIN. I'VE
ADDED IT MORE TO MY DIET AND MY
HUSBAND'S DIET, AND IT'S JUST
GREAT TO EVEN START THE KIDS ON,
YOU KNOW, A LITTLE MORE TURKEY
PRODUCT ALL THROUGH THE YEAR.
>> AND AS ONE OF MY KIDS SAID,
"YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL THE
DIFFERENCE, MOM," AND THAT'S
TRUE. SO IF WE WANT TO MAKE
SPAGHETTI, YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH
THE GROUND TURKEY, FOR INSTANCE.
THESE ARE SOME GO-TO RECIPES.
WHY DO YOU CALL THEM "GO-TO"?
>> "GO-TO," IT MEANS IT'S AN
EASY ALTERNATIVE. USUALLY YOU
HAVE THINGS ON THE SHELF--WE
LIKE TO DEVELOP RECIPES SO THAT
YOU CAN GET PRODUCT RIGHT OUT
OF YOUR PANTRY, RIGHT ON THE
KITCHEN SHELF, AND THEY'RE NOT
UNUSUAL. THEY'RE VERY ADAPTABLE
FOR FAMILIES. SMALL CHILDREN
WILL LOVE THE FLAVORS, AND IT'S
JUST A GREAT LEAN SOURCE OF
PROTEIN. AND THEN YOU PUNCH IT
UP WITH THE VEGETABLES AND THE
OTHER PRODUCTS THAT YOU ALREADY
KNOW. YEAH.
>> OK, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS
FIRST ONE. THIS IS A FRITTATA,
WHICH I LOVE.
>> OH, THE TURKEY FRITTATA. NOW,
THIS IS GREAT FOR BRUNCH, BUT
YOU CAN DO IT FOR DINNER.
YOU CAN DO FOR LUNCH.
>> IT CAN BE A MAIN DISH.
>> ABSOLUTELY. IT'S A BASIC
FRITTATA WITH THE EGGS AND THE
MILK, BUT THEN YOU ADD ANGEL
HAIR PASTA, WHICH IS A VERY THIN
PASTA, AND THESE ARE INGREDIENTS
THAT YOU CAN COOK AHEAD OF TIME.
AND I LIKE TO SAVE TIME, MAYBE
DO A FEW THINGS THE DAY BEFORE,
CHOPPING UP THE RED PEPPER--
RED BELL PEPPER. ALSO, THE MAIN
TURKEY PRODUCT IN HERE IS THE
TURKEY BACON. AND SOMETIMES I
USE TURKEY BACON. SOMETIMES I'LL
USE THE SMOKED BUTTERBALL TURKEY
AND CHOP THAT UP...
>> INSTEAD OF BACON?
>> INSTEAD OF THE BACON--EITHER
ONE, SURE--AND THEN A PACKAGE
OF SPINACH. SO WITH ALL THOSE
FLAVORS IN THERE, YOU GET A GOOD
GREEN SPINACH VEGETABLE IN FOR
CHILDREN AND FOR OURSELVES, TOO.
IT'S A GREAT HEART-HEALTHY.
>> IT IS, AND IT'S VERY FILLING,
SO IT'S GREAT TO SERVE. WHAT
ABOUT THIS WITH THE SAUSAGE?
NOW, I LIKE THE SAUSAGES.
>> THE SMOKED SAUSAGE IS A
FAVORITE IN OUR HOUSEHOLD, AND
THIS IS REALLY EASY BECAUSE YOU
USE THE GRILL. AND THE SAUSAGE
AND THE ZUCCHINI AND THE RED
PEPPERS AND ONIONS ARE PUT INTO
A LARGE SHEET OF FOIL. YOU ROLL
IT UP AROUND THE EDGES AND MAKE
IT A FOIL PACKET. ADD A LITTLE
BIT OF BUTTER, OR YOU CAN SPRAY
IT WITH OLIVE OIL--ANY KIND OF
AN OIL--BECAUSE IT'S GONNA GO
RIGHT ON THE GRILL. AND USE--
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS AT
BUTTERBALL.COM, AND YOU'LL HAVE
A GREAT, YOU KNOW, WEEKDAY MEAL.
>> AND SOMETIMES WE THINK ABOUT
USING TURKEY PRODUCTS ONLY AT
THE HOLIDAY SEASON, BUT THESE
ARE GREAT RECIPES FOR
YEAR-ROUND, AREN'T THEY?
>> ALL YEAR-ROUND. FAMILY
FRIENDLY, AND LEFTOVERS ARE
GREAT TO TAKE TO LUNCH.
>> IN FACT, THAT'S WHY I LIKE TO
COOK A BIG TURKEY, BIGGER THAN
I'LL NEED, BECAUSE I LIKE THE
LEFTOVERS JUST AS WELL.
>> I DO THE SAME THING, SHERYL.
>> OK, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS
ONE.
>> OK, THIS IS OUR TURKEY
QUESADILLAS.
>> OH, QUESADILLAS.
>> AND THAT HAS A LUNCHMEAT IN
THERE AND SOME RED BELL PEPPER,
AND IT'S JUST ON TWO LARGE
10-INCH TORTILLAS. AND AFTER YOU
ASSEMBLE THE TORTILLA FOR THE
QUESADILLAS, YOU LIFT IT INTO
A SKILLET THAT'S BEEN WARM,
PREHEATED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
SPRAY OIL OR ANY KIND OF FAT IN
THE PAN. AND THEN COOK IT ON ONE
SIDE FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES, JUST
TURN IT OVER, AND COOK IT--AND
FINISH UNTIL EVERYTHING MELTS.
AND THEN YOU CAN CUT IT INTO
QUARTERS IF YOU WANT LUNCH OR
SANDWICHES. SOMETIMES I'LL CUT
THEM INTO THIRDS, LIKE, SMALLER
PIECES FOR HORS D'OEUVRES
AND REHEAT THEM IN THE OVEN.
>> THESE ARE GREAT TO GO IN A
LUNCHBOX, TOO, FOR KIDS THAT
TAKE THEIR LUNCHES. THE
QUESADILLAS ARE ALWAYS A
POPULAR TREAT.
>> THEY ARE. THEY ARE.
>> OK, WE HAVE A CROISSANT
SANDWICH I RECOGNIZE. WHAT ELSE
IS INSIDE THE CROISSANT?
>> WELL, WE CALL THESE ARE
TURKEY TURNOVERS. AND IT'S THE
REFRIGERATED CROISSANTS THAT YOU
MAKE INTO A SQUARE AND PRESS THE
LITTLE PERFORATIONS TOGETHER,
AND THEN PUT IN A MIXTURE OF
SAUTEED ONION AND MUSHROOM, A
LITTLE BIT OF CHOPPED MUSHROOM,
AND A LITTLE BIT OF WHIPPING
CREAM JUST TO ADD THAT RICHNESS.
PER SERVING, YOU ONLY HAVE ABOUT
A TABLESPOON AND A HALF OF
WHIPPING CREAM, SO IT'S NOT...
>> IT'S NOT SINFUL.
>> NOT TOO BAD. AND THEN YOU
ROLL THAT UP OR TURN IT OVER
INTO A TRIANGLE OR ROLL IT THIS
WAY, AND THEN BAKE IT UNTIL IT
GETS NICE AND GOLDEN BROWN. YOUR
INGREDIENTS IN THERE ARE ALREADY
COOKED.
>> EVERYTHING YOU'VE MENTIONED,
I HAVE EITHER IN THE PANTRY OR
IN THE REFRIGERATOR. IT'S
PERFECT.
>> EASY TO FIND ON THE SHELVES
AT THE GROCERY STORE, TOO.
>> AND THIS IS CALLED
"THE ULTIMATE," HUH?
>> THE ULTIMATE T.L.T.:
TURKEY, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO.
AND THIS FEATURES OUR EASY-USE
LUNCHMEAT, THE LUNCH SLICES OF
TURKEY OR DEEP-FRIED TURKEY.
THE DEEP-FRIED HAS A WONDERFUL
FLAVOR TO IT...
>> I BET IT IS.
>> IF YOU FIND THAT, BUT EITHER
PRODUCT WORKS JUST AS WELL.
>> SORT OF A PLAY ON THE FRYING
OF THE TURKEY THAT PEOPLE ARE
REALLY ENJOYING.
>> BUT INSTEAD OF B.L.T.--
WE COULD USE TURKEY BACON--
BUT THE TURKEY SLICES ARE JUST
DELICIOUS AND THEY'RE GREAT FOR
A LUNCHTIME MEAL.
>> SO "GO-TO," MEANING THAT
EVERYTHING'S PRETTY MUCH
AVAILABLE. OF COURSE, CHECK YOUR
RECIPE AHEAD OF TIME. I'VE BEEN
KNOWN TO NEED SOMETHING RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
>> YOU CAN ALWAYS SUBSTITUTE.
>> I THINK THAT'S GOOD, TOO.
AND YOU MENTIONED GOING TO THE
WEBSITE, THE BUTTERBALL.COM--
WE CAN DO THAT YEAR-ROUND.
>> ABSOLUTELY. AND ALL THESE
RECIPES ARE FOUND AT
BUTTERBALL.COM.
>> GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I APPRECIATE YOU BEING
HERE, AND THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS.
>> OH, IT IS. THANKS FOR
INVITING ME.
>> IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE YOU WITH
US, LISA, AND YOU SAID THIS
WHOLE SEGMENT WAS GOING TO BE
ON GLUING.
>> BASIC GLUING, YES.
>> I THINK I CAN FOLLOW YOU
ON THIS. BUT HOW DID YOU DESIGN
THIS PROJECT USING A VINYL
RECORD?
>> YOU KNOW, I STARTED OFF
WITH THE PAPER. THE PAPER IS
WHAT INSPIRED ME, BECAUSE THE
PAPER IS--IT'S, YOU KNOW,
MUSICAL NOTES AND--YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN SEE ON THE SAMPLE THAT'S
GOT THE KEYBOARD AND STUFF
ON IT. SO I STARTED FROM THERE
AND I THOUGHT, "OH, WOULDN'T
THAT BE A BEAUTIFUL WALL
HANGING, AND TO DO IT ON
AN ALBUM, OR A VINYL RECORD?"
>> AND ANY OF US THAT ARE OLD
ENOUGH PROBABLY HAVE SOME OF
THESE. NOW, SOME OF THE YOUNG
KIDS, IF THEY'RE WATCHING, HAVE
NO IDEA WHAT THESE THINGS--
THEY'RE NOT PLATES. THEY'RE NOT
CHARGERS. THESE ARE VINYL
RECORDS.
>> PLAIN OLD VINYL RECORDS, YES.
I HAD TO BEG MY HUSBAND FOR SOME
OLD ONES BECAUSE HE WASN'T
GIVING HIS UP.
>> I DON'T BLAME HIM, WITH THE
FEW THAT I HAVE, BUT SOME OF
THEM WE COULD PART WITH. AND
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT
YOU'VE DONE WITH THIS PLAIN
VINYL RECORD, AND YOU'VE
BASICALLY GLUED ALL THIS STUFF
ON THERE.
>> THAT'S BASICALLY IT. IT'S
THE BEAUTIFUL GRAPHIC 45 PAPERS.
THEY COME IN ALL DIFFERENT
THEMES AND THEY'RE JUST
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND THEY
JUST INSPIRE ME SO MUCH.
>> I'M GLAD THERE'S PEOPLE LIKE
YOU WHO GET INSPIRED. I CAN
COPY, BUT I HAVE TO SEE SOMEBODY
ELSE'S WORK. AND I JUST THINK
THIS IS SO CUTE. THIS IS A
LITTLE BOOK THAT YOU ACTUALLY
BOUGHT THAT WAS SHAPED LIKE
THIS.
>> RIGHT, A GEAR. IT'S THE
STEAMPUNK THEME, IS WHAT THAT I
WAS GOING FOR WITH THE GEARS AND
THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT'S WHAT
THAT CAME FROM.
>> BUT YOU'VE ADDED ALL OF THE
EMBELLISHMENTS. IT WAS JUST
A FLAT BOARD.
>> IT WAS JUST A FLAT BOARD,
AND THEN, YES, THEN I ADDED
EVERYTHING. AND THEN
ON EACH PIECE, ON EACH PAGE,
YOU CAN PULL...
>> OH, I DIDN'T SEE THAT.
>> YEAH, YOU CAN PULL THOSE
LITTLE TAGS OUT THERE...
>> AND WRITE OR PUT A PICTURE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> OH, I HADN'T EVEN NOTICED
THAT.
>> YEAH.
>> BECAUSE I THOUGHT, WELL,
MAYBE YOU COULD PUT YOUR PICTURE
HERE, BUT THAT--AND I GUESS YOU
COULD. BUT THEN IF YOU HAVE THE
LITTLE TAGS IN HERE, YOU COULD
DO YOUR JOURNALING ON THAT.
>> THERE YOU GO, AND PUT YOUR
PICTURES UP THERE. THAT WOULD BE
PERFECT.
>> YEAH. OH, I JUST LOVE THAT.
BUT I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.
AND YOU SAID YOU LOVED "WIZARD
OF OZ"--WELL, I DO NOW FOR SURE.
>> YES, MA'AM.
>> AND YOU JUST BOUGHT THE BOOK,
FIRST OF ALL?
>> YES. IT'S JUST A CARDBOARD
BOOK.
>> AND THESE ARE PAPERS, AND
YOU'VE MADE IT THREE-DIMENSIONAL
BECAUSE YOU PUT FOAM ADHESIVE
BEHIND THEM. I DON'T KNOW IF WE
CAN SEE--YEAH, YOU CAN SEE
THE LITTLE FOAM PEEKING BACK
BEHIND THERE.
>> YEP.
>> AND, AGAIN, LIKE, THINGS
COULD GO IN HERE.
>> AND THOSE ARE ALSO TAGS.
THESE ARE ALSO TAGS. THEY'RE
ALSO TAGS AND EMBELLISHMENTS BY
GRAPHIC 45. THEY HAVE--THEY
USUALLY HAVE A LINE OF
EMBELLISHMENTS THAT GO WITH
THEIR PAPERS, YES. SO THEY'VE
GOT SOME VERY GORGEOUS STUFF.
>> AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
YOU'D NEVER GET TIRED OF LOOKING
AT BECAUSE I'M SEEING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT EACH TIME I'VE OPENED
THIS.
>> YES. AND IT'S NOT--THIS IS
NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO,
YOU KNOW, IN AN HOUR'S TIME.
THIS TAKES SOME WORK. IT'S A LOT
OF WORK, BUT, OH, IT'S FUN.
>> I WILL LOOK AT THIS IN DETAIL
LATER, BUT LET'S SHOW EVERYONE
HOW TO MAKE THE VINYL RECORD
WALL HANGING.
>> OK, THE VERY FIRST THING THAT
YOU'RE GONNA DO IS PICK OUT YOUR
PAPERS THAT YOU WANT TO USE.
>> AND THESE COME, WHAT, 12...
>> THEY COME IN 12 x 12s,
12 x 12 SHEETS, AND THEN YOU
CAN ALSO BUY THEM IN A 6 x 6.
>> OH, WITH THE LITTLE
SCRAPBOOKS.
>> RIGHT, SO YOU CAN DO THEM
IN BOTH. I'VE USED BOTH SIZES.
BUT THE FIRST THING THAT YOU'RE
GONNA DO, THEN, IS PICK OUT YOUR
PAPERS. OK? AND SO WHAT I'M
GONNA DO...
>> OH, YOU USE HOT GLUE, TOO?
>> WELL, YEAH, YOU CAN. I WOULD
USE--I'M USING HOT GLUE BECAUSE
WE'RE HERE.
>> UH-HUH. BUT YOU COULD USE
THE RUNNER OR ANYTHING?
>> YEAH. AT HOME, I WOULD
PROBABLY USE A ZIP DRY--
BEACON ADHESIVES ZIP DRY GLUE.
THAT'S MY VERY FAVORITE.
>> THAT'S YOUR FAVORITE?
>> YES. OK. AND THEN FOR THESE,
YOU LAY THEM DOWN. OK, YOU'RE
GONNA LAY THEM DOWN LIKE THIS,
AND YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND ADHERE
THEM. AND THEN FLIP THEM OVER,
AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA TRACE.
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A PENCIL AND
THEN TRACE IT AND THEN TRIM IT.
OK? SO THEN YOU'RE GOING TO
GET--WE'LL MOVE ALL THESE ASIDE.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE--YEAH,
I'VE ALREADY KIND OF DONE THAT.
OK? SO THEN WE'RE JUST GONNA
GO FROM HERE. AND THEN THE NEXT
THING WE'RE GONNA DO IS JUST
PUT SOME GLUE ON THERE.
>> YOU'RE JUST GLUING?
>> JUST GLUING.
>> THERE'S NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY
TO PUT THESE EITHER, IS THERE?
>> NO. IT'S JUST--IT'S HOWEVER--
YOU KNOW, IT'S USUALLY WHATEVER
MOVES ME. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS
SILLY, BUT A LOT OF TIMES I HAVE
TO SIT BACK AND LOOK AND SEE
IF I'M GONNA LIKE IT OR NOT.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES I'LL GO,
"HMM, THAT DOESN'T LOOK..."
>> DO YOU PLAY MUSIC WHEN YOU
DO THIS ONE?
>> NO. I SHOULD, THOUGH, HUH?
>> MIGHT INSPIRE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
>> THERE YOU GO. OK. AND THE
SAME THING WITH THESE. YOU'RE
JUST GONNA GLUE THESE ON DOWN
HERE.
>> NOW, ARE THESE ALL IN A
SHEET, OR WERE THESE SOME OF
THE EMBELLISHMENTS?
>> NO, THESE ARE ALL IN A SHEET,
AND I JUST CUT THEM OUT
SEPARATE, YES.
>> SEE, I LOVE TO CUT, AND I
LOVED--LIKE PAPER DOLLS, I NEVER
LIKED TO PLAY WITH THEM, BUT I
LOVED TO CUT THEM OUT.
>> YES, I DO, TOO. AND THE SAME
THING WITH THE FILMSTRIP. AND
THEN WHAT I DID WITH THIS IS I
JUST BENT IT, JUST KIND OF
ROUNDED AROUND MY FINGER...
>> TO GIVE IT THREE-DIMENSION.
>> RIGHT. JUST TO GIVE IT THAT--
THAT LOOK.
>> AND SO DO YOU JUST GLUE IT?
>> AND THEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA DO
THE SAME THING...
>> ON THE VALLEY FOLDS,
I THINK THAT'S CALLED.
>> AND JUST GLUE THAT LITTLE
PUPPY DOWN THERE.
>> THAT IS JUST SO CUTE.
>> OK? AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA
COME TO ANOTHER SPOT. WE'RE NOT
GONNA GLUE THESE ALL ON BECAUSE
I DON'T WANT TO BORE EVERYBODY.
BUT THEN YOU'RE GONNA COME TO
THIS STEP.
>> OH. NOW, HOW DID YOU
GET THIS ON?
>> NOW, THIS IS A BLING. THIS IS
WHAT I CALL A BLING, YES. AND
THIS IS--I DIDN'T DO THIS ON TV
BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD...
>> TO HOLD EACH ONE SEPARATELY?
>> IT'S ALL TOGETHER, BUT IT'LL
STICK TO YOUR FINGERS. YOU HAVE
TO WORK WITH IT A LITTLE BIT.
SO YOU LAY IT DOWN--YOU KNOW,
JUST LAY YOUR ADHESIVE DOWN.
IT'S ALREADY STUCK. YOU KNOW,
THE ADHESIVE IS ALREADY ON THE
BLING, AND YOU JUST KIND OF LAY
IT DOWN, BUT YOU HAVE TO WORK
WITH IT A LITTLE BIT.
>> BUT WE COULD EVEN USE GLUE,
AND THEN PUT GLITTER AND SHAKE
THAT OFF.
>> YEAH, IF YOU WANT TO DO IT
THAT WAY. YEAH, IF YOU WANT TO
DO IT THAT WAY. AND THEN THE
LAST THINGS THAT I'M GONNA DO
IS JUST ADD THE LITTLE PRETTIES.
>> SO EVERY LITTLE TINY SCRAP
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE IN THAT
DRAWER THAT YOU THOUGHT WOULDN'T
GO WITH--UH-HUH. WHAT'S THAT,
ABOUT 6 INCHES OF THAT?
>> YEAH, JUST ABOUT. NOTHING--
YOU KNOW...JUST--YOU KNOW, THIS
IS REALLY GOOD FOR, YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU HAVE LEFTOVER SCRAPS
FROM YOUR OTHER PROJECTS. THIS
IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THIS.
AND THEN THIS IS A LITTLE DOILY
THAT I HAVE. AND I'LL GLUE
THAT ON THERE.
>> AND THAT WOULD BE A WAY--I
HAVE LOTS OF OLD, OLD LINENS,
BUT SOME OF THEM, UNFORTUNATELY,
HAVE STAINS AND SPOTS ON THEM.
BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO USE
THOSE, AND THEN YOU COULD PUT
SOMETHING ON TOP OF WHERE THE
SPOTTED PLACE IS.
>> AND THEN YOU COULD USE REUSE
THEM BECAUSE NOBODY'S GONNA SEE
THEM ONCE YOU COVER THEM.
>> OH, I LOVE THAT LITTLE TREE
THING.
>> ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? NOW,
THAT IS JUST--THAT'S JUST, YOU
KNOW, SOMETHING THAT I FOUND AT
MY LOCAL CRAFT STORE. YOU KNOW.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, BECAUSE
I'M A RUBBER STAMPER...
>> YES, UH-HUH.
>> I ALWAYS HAVE TO, YOU KNOW,
ADD SOME INK SOMEWHERE. SO ON
THIS ONE, I HAVE MY LITTLE TAGS,
AND I'M JUST GONNA ADD A LITTLE
INK AROUND THEM.
>> IT KIND OF GIVES IT AN
ANTIQUE OR AN HEIRLOOM LOOK,
DOESN'T IT, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
IS REMINISCENT OF ANYWAY.
>> BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT IT
LIKE THIS, IT'S JUST KIND OF
PLAIN. THIS JUST KIND OF GIVES
IT A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, MORE
OOMPH. AND THEN THE LAST THINGS
THAT YOU DO...
>> OH, THAT BOW. JUST SOME...
>> JUST ADD SOME...
>> RIBBON.
>> YEP.
>> OR IS THAT ORGANZA? IT'S
WIRE-EDGED, SO YOU CAN REALLY
SHAPE IT NICELY.
>> AND THEN ALL'S I DID ON THE
BACK OF IT IS I JUST GLUED SOME
PEARLS.
>> COULD BE AN OLD NECKLACE THAT
FELL APART.
>> OLD NECKLACE THAT YOU DON'T
WANT. YES, THAT WOULD BE
PERFECT. AND JUST PUT THAT ON
THERE. AND THEN THE LAST THING
THAT YOU'RE GONNA DO IS JUST
ADHERE ALL OF YOUR FLOWERS. AND
I'VE GOT A LITTLE TASSEL HERE
THAT I'VE PUT ON...
>> OH, ON A TAG?
>> YEP. PUT IT ON MY TAG HERE.
>> I'M SEEING NEW THINGS EVERY
TIME I LOOK AT THIS, NOW THAT
I'M WATCHING YOU MAKE IT.
>> I KNOW. IT'S PRETTY AMAZING
BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF PRODUCT ON
THERE UNTIL YOU START WORKING
WITH IT, AND THEN YOU REALIZE
THAT THERE'S REALLY A LOT.
>> WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT
THIS, AND I BET EVERYBODY ELSE
CAN SEE NEW THINGS ON IT, TOO.
AND, LISA, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU ARE SO TALENTED.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU
SO MUCH.
>> NANCY, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE
HERE TODAY. I APPRECIATE YOU
COMING, AND YOU ALWAYS BRING
SUCH PRETTY TECHNIQUES WITH YOU.
AND WE'RE GOING TO DECORATE
COOKIES, SUGAR COOKIES--HOW
PLAIN CAN THAT BE?--AND YOU SAID
WE CAN USE LOTS OF DIFFERENT
RECIPES.
>> YOU CAN. I HAVE A FAVORITE
ONE THAT BAKES OUT SMOOTH.
BUT IF YOU WANTED TO USE
REFRIGERATED COOKIE DOUGH
BECAUSE YOU WERE SHORT ON TIME,
YOU DO WANT TO ADD SOME FLOUR
TO IT. AND USUALLY IF I'M GONNA
DO THAT, I WILL ALSO ADD SOME
ALMOND EXTRACT SO IT GIVES IT
A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT
FLAVOR SO NOBODY KIND OF
SUSPECTS THAT YOU'VE USED
REFRIGERATED DOUGH.
>> GOOD IDEA. WAY TO TRICK
EVERYBODY. WELL, LET'S TAKE
A LOOK. WE'RE GOING TO DO
BUTTERFLIES. EVERYTHING'S COMING
UP BUTTERFLIES.
>> AND, REMEMBER, THE TECHNIQUES
THAT WE'RE SHOWING, YOU COULD
USE THEM FOR FLOWERS OR BEARS
OR, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY ANY
SHAPE. I JUST THOUGHT THIS
LENT ITSELF SPECIFICALLY TO
BUTTERFLIES.
>> MM-HMM. AND THE WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO SHOW US ABOUT PULLING
THE ICING--THAT JUST IS KIND OF
THE WAY BUTTERFLY WINGS ARE.
>> IT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE, AND
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW SIMPLE
IT IS TO DO. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS
SAME TECHNIQUE YOU CAN ACTUALLY
USE ON YOUR CHEESECAKE WITH
SOUR CREAM AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE,
CARAMEL OR CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND
PULL IT THROUGH SO IT HAS THAT
SPIDER WEB LOOK. SO THE
TECHNIQUES THAT WE'RE DOING,
DON'T BE AFRAID TO APPLY THEM
TO SOME OTHER DESSERT.
>> GOOD IDEA. WELL, WE'RE GOING
TO WORK ON BUTTERFLIES TODAY.
>> YEAH, THERE'S TWO WAYS THAT
YOU CAN DO THIS. THIS IS A
COOKIE ICING THAT'S PREMADE, AND
I'M GOING TO OUTLINE THE BODY
OF THE BUTTERFLY, AND I HAVEN'T
HEATED IT. IF YOU READ THE
PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS, IT WILL
TELL YOU TO PUT IT IN THE
MICROWAVE FOR, LIKE, 10 SECONDS
ON 50% POWER. BUT I'M GONNA
USE IT, JUST STRAIGHT THICK, TO
OUTLINE. AND THEN YOU NOTICED I
KEPT DRAGGING IT, BECAUSE IT'S
A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO CONTROL
THAN IF YOU USE A BAG AND TIP.
I'M A BAG-AND-TIP GIRL, BUT
THIS ONE WORKS REALLY WELL.
AND YOU'LL SEE IT'S KIND OF
SELF-LEVELING, SO YOU DO HAVE TO
BE A LITTLE BIT CAREFUL AND NOT
OVERDO IT. NOW, I SEE THERE'S
A LITTLE BIT OF A SECTION THERE
THAT DIDN'T TAKE, SO I'LL JUST
TAKE A TOOTHPICK AND FILL THAT
IN. THEN WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY
DO IS PUT THIS IN THE MICROWAVE,
BUT I'M JUST--LIKE TO LIVE
DANGEROUSLY, SO I'M JUST GONNA
GO AHEAD.
>> OH, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO FILL
IN THE BODY?
>> AND I'M GONNA FILL IN THE
BODY HERE.
>> BUT IT DOES KIND OF FLOW
TOGETHER, SO THIS IS ACTUALLY
WORKING REAL WELL. IT GIVES IT
THAT 3-D BECAUSE IT'S RAISED.
>> AND YOU SEE I KIND OF DRIPPED
A LITTLE BIT, SO IT'S KIND OF
LIKE, "DO I LET IT DRIP IT AGAIN
OR DO I PULL IT?" AND I'LL PULL
IT REAL QUICK. OK. SO, YOU KNOW,
IF YOU HAVE A DRIP, THEN JUST
PRETEND THAT THAT'S PART OF THE
DESIGN THAT YOU WERE GONNA DO.
SO YOU'VE GOT THE COOKIE ICING.
YOU CAN ALSO USE ROYAL ICING.
YOU CAN USE COLOR FLOW. AND
ROYAL ICING IS THE ICING THAT
YOU USE THAT ACTUALLY HAS
MERINGUE POWDER IN IT, SO IT
DRIES HARD. SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO
HERE IS I'M JUST GONNA OUTLINE.
>> IS THIS ROYAL?
>> YES, THIS IS--I'M USING ROYAL
NOW. I USED COOKIE ICING BEFORE.
ROYAL ICING DOESN'T HAVE THAT
MUCH OF A FLAVOR TO ME. IT'S
JUST KIND OF PLAIN.
>> NOW, COULD YOU USE THE BUTTER
CREAM? I USE THAT FOR CAKE
DECORATING.
>> YOU COULD. YOU CAN THIN DOWN
BUTTER CREAM IF YOU WANT TO. IT
DOESN'T DRY HARD, SO IF YOU'RE
GONNA TRY TO STACK THEM OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT...IF YOU HAVE
ANY LITTLE TIPS, YOU CAN SEE I
JUST TAKE A TOOTHPICK AND KIND
OF STRAIGHTEN THEM OUT. AND MOST
OF THE TIME WHEN YOU'RE DOING
A BUNCH OF COOKIES, YOU REALLY
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE. THE OTHER THING I
WANT TO SHOW YOU IS I DID HAVE
A LITTLE MOIST PIECE OF PAPER
HERE, PAPER TOWEL, BECAUSE IT
DOES DRY OUT. SO IF YOU ARE
GOING TO DO A WHOLE BUNCH, DO
ALL YOUR OUTLINING, AND THEN IF
YOU'RE NOT GONNA OUTLINE, PUT
SOMETHING MOIST OVER IT BECAUSE
IT DOES DRY FAIRLY QUICKLY.
>> THAT'S A GOOD TIP.
>> SO, THEN, TO FILL IN, I'VE
GIVEN YOU ONE THAT WE'VE DONE,
AND YOU CAN JUST FILL IN WITH
THE COOKIE ICING.
>> OK. AND I CAN USE ANY COLOR
I WANT, RIGHT?
>> YOU CAN USE ANY COLOR YOU
WANT. YOU CAN DOT IT IN. YOU CAN
MAKE LINES, WHATEVER YOU WANT
TO DO. I'VE GOT THE ROYAL, SO
I'M JUST GONNA SNIP A SMALL
AMOUNT DOWN AT THE END OF MY
DISPOSABLE DECORATING BAG,
AND I'M GONNA JUST FILL IN.
>> OOH, THIS DOES FILL NICE.
IN FACT, I THINK I WAS PRESSING
A LITTLE HARDER THAN I NEEDED
TO, BUT IT'S SO PRETTY.
>> WELL, THE OTHER THING IS, IS
WHEN YOU'RE GETTING YOUR ROYAL
ICING TO THE THICKNESS--AND,
SEE, THAT'S THE THING THAT MAKES
IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO USE
THE COOKIE ICING. YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THE CONSISTENCY
BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY DONE FOR
YOU. IF YOU'RE DOING A ROYAL,
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS YOU WANT
IT TO FLOW IN AND BASICALLY
SELF-FILL ON A COUNT OF 10. SO
IF I WERE GONNA HOLD THIS OVER
A BOWL AND I WOULD SQUEEZE IT
IN THERE, I WOULD COUNT TO 10
AND YOU COULDN'T SEE ANY LINES
AT ALL.
>> THAT'S GETTING KIND OF
TECHNICAL.
>> THAT'S WHY IT'S EASIER
SOMETIMES TO JUST USE THE
PREPARED PRODUCT. BUT, AGAIN,
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE DON'T
WANT TO AND THAT'S FINE.
>> YEAH.
>> NOW, I'M DOING A BUNCH OF
DIFFERENT COLORS, SO IT'S TAKING
ME A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
>> I AM, TOO. I THINK THAT'S THE
FUN PART OF DECORATING. WHY MAKE
IT BLAH? WOW. THAT ORANGE IS
A PRETTY COLOR. YOU SHOULD BE
USING THIS ORANGE--IT WOULD
MATCH YOUR BLOUSE.
>> HA HA HA! SO MAKE SURE YOU
GET ENOUGH IN THERE, AND THEN
YOU CAN PULL IT THROUGH, OR YOU
CAN DO DOTS. AGAIN, DOING A
WHOLE BUNCH OF COLORS AT ONE
TIME IS KIND OF COOL. AND I'M
JUST GONNA DO THIS ONE WING,
FINISH HIM OUT HERE.
>> OH, YOU'RE DOING IT ACROSS,
AND I DID IT UP AND DOWN.
>> AND THEN I'M GONNA GO BACK IN
AND, SEE, I'M GONNA PUT A DOT
IN THERE SO THAT HE HAS LITTLE
ACCENTS. NOW, YOU CAN ALSO USE
SUGAR PEARLS IF YOU WANT TO.
YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S BEGINNING
TO GO DOWN. SEE? IF YOU COUNTED
TO 10, IT WOULD LEVEL. AND THEN
I'LL SHOW YOU PULLING THROUGH.
>> OK.
>> IT'S HARD TO TALK SOMETIMES
BECAUSE YOU'RE...
>> I KNOW IT. I'M JUST REALLY
CONCENTRATING ON THIS.
>> OK, NOW, HERE'S THE TECHNIQUE
THAT MAKES IT LOOK FEATHERED.
I JUST TAKE THE TOOTHPICK...
AND THIS IS A LITTLE BIT THICK,
BUT...
>> SO IN MINE, WOULD I GO UP
AND DOWN, OR WOULD I GO ACROSS?
>> WHATEVER YOU WANT.
>> OH, OK. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER?
>> MM-HMM. AND, SEE, YOU'LL HAVE
A DIFFERENT LOOK. YOU CAN SEE--
I'M GONNA PULL THROUGH HERE
SOME MORE.
>> YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S SOME
PLACES THAT THERE'S NOTHING, BUT
I KIND OF LIKE THAT. IS THAT OK?
>> YEAH, THAT'S FINE, TOO. SO,
YOU KNOW, WE CAN FINISH OFF
WITH YOURS, AND YOU CAN SEE THE
FEATHERED TECHNIQUE. YOURS IS
A LITTLE BIT THINNER, MINE'S
A LITTLE THICKER.
>> YEAH, THIS IS VERY...
>> SO IT'S PERFECT. YOU KNOW,
YOU'VE GOT THAT FEATHERED LOOK
WHERE YOU GOT THE COLORS MIXED,
BUT YOU'VE ALSO GOT THE
FEATHERED LOOK OF ACTUALLY JUST
PULLING IT THROUGH.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA PUT IT
RIGHT HERE BECAUSE IT LOOKS
PRETTY AGAINST THIS BLUE.
>> AND YOU CAN SEE IT'S
BEGINNING TO DRY. WITHIN ABOUT
AN HOUR, YOU'LL HAVE IT FAIRLY
DRY, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO, YOU
KNOW, WORRY ABOUT IT TOO LONG.
BUT BEFORE YOU'D STACK THEM,
YOU'D OBVIOUSLY WANT TO WAIT
A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
>> YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. I HADN'T
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT WITH THE
BUTTER CREAM. BECAUSE I KNOW
EVEN TRANSPORTING CAKES OR
SOMETHING, YOU'VE GOT TO BE
CAREFUL BECAUSE IT'S STILL--
OF COURSE, THAT'S WHY I LIKE
BUTTER CREAM: IT'S SO SOFT
AND CREAMY.
>> WELL, PEOPLE LIKE BUTTER
CREAM. IT'S JUST THE AMERICAN
FAVORITE. PEOPLE ARE USED TO
A MUCH SWEETER ICING. SO IT'S
A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE, AND LIKE
I SAID, IF YOU'RE GONNA DO A
CHEESECAKE, YOU CAN PUT, LIKE,
A SOUR CREAM ON TOP. AND THEN
YOU COULD PUT, LIKE, CARAMEL
OR CHOCOLATE OR, YOU KNOW, ANY
OTHER KIND OF FLAVORING, AND
THEN PULL IT TOWARD THE CENTER
IF YOU WANTED TO.
>> AND I'VE SEEN THAT IN
RESTAURANTS. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW
HOW THEY DID IT.
>> YOU CAN DO IT ON TOP OF A
CUPCAKE, A COOKIE, A BROWNIE,
AND IT JUST GIVES A REALLY
NICE LOOK, FINISHED LOOK LIKE
YOU DID IT AT A BAKERY, BUT THEN
YOU CAN SAY, "I DID THIS."
>> MYSELF. WELL, THANK YOU,
NANCY. THIS IS REALLY FUN TO DO.
THANK YOU.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE SHOW
TODAY. NEXT TIME ON "CREATIVE
LIVING," WE'LL LEARN HOW TO
CREATE SOME EASY CUSTOM-FABRIC
DESIGNS, MAKE DESIGNER JEWELRY,
AND SHOW HOW TO MAKE A WINDOW
VALANCE. ONE OF MY NEXT GUESTS
IS GOING TO SHOW HOW TO CREATE
YOUR OWN FABRIC DESIGNS USING
AN ASSORTMENT OF TULIP FASHION
PAINTS AND DYES. SHE SAYS THIS
WILL ELEVATE YOUR CRAFT AND
SEWING PROJECTS TO A NEW LEVEL.
ANOTHER GUEST IS GOING TO SHOW
SOME DIFFERENT STYLES OF JEWELRY
BLANKS AND SHOW HOW TO MAKE
CUSTOM PHOTO JEWELRY WITH
U.V. RESINS WHICH IMITATES THE
LOOK OF MORE EXPENSIVE JEWELRY.
AND FINALLY, ANOTHER GUEST IS
GOING TO DEMONSTRATE MAKING AN
ATTRACTIVE WINDOW VALANCE TO
DRESS UP AN UNCOVERED WINDOW OR
TO ADD COLOR AND SOFTNESS TO AN
EXISTING WINDOW TREATMENT SUCH
AS MINI BLINDS. THIS TECHNIQUE
WORKS FOR EITHER AN INSIDE MOUNT
OR AN OUTSIDE MOUNT. AND MY
GUEST WILL SHOW US STEP-BY-STEP
HOW TO MEASURE THE WINDOW,
SELECT THE FABRIC TOOLS AND
NOTIONS, AND THEN SHOW HOW TO
CREATE A VALANCE THAT WILL LOOK
VERY PROFESSIONAL WHEN YOU'RE
THROUGH. ALL OF THESE TOPICS
WILL BE FEATURED ON THE NEXT
"CREATIVE LIVING" SHOW.
