My go-to printer brand for years has been HP. I also use their ink supply service where I pay a monthly fee and they send me ink cartridges as needed. It comes out to be a lot less money this way. The HP Envy Inspire is a great-priced machine that will produce beautiful prints.

If you are looking for a great crafting-weight paper for printables, I have been using HP Project Paper. It is heavier than copier paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. It is a great medium weight for layering, folding, and more!

Metal Craft Tags: Easy Diy Tutorial

How to use a recycled can to make tags.

These colorful metal tags were made from recycling soda cans. I had used the cans in another project and had some metal left over that was already colored with alcohol ink. First stamping on the surface and then die-cutting the aluminum was quick and easy.

Links to the materials used are listed at the bottom of this post. The dies are from the Spellbinders 2023 Advent Calendar.

Video Tutorial:

The image above of the tags at an angle shows the rounded edge made from die-cutting and the embossed edge on the first tag.

Quick and Easy Dinner

We found a quick and easy dinner solution.

with Just Meats

Just Meats is a delivery program that offers fully cooked, heat-and-eat options and provides a convenient solution for busy individuals and families looking for a hassle-free meal. The Just Meats packages come to your door frozen making it easy to put them right into the freezer. Tonight we tried out the Hawaiian Shredded Pork and made sliders.

The Just Meats packages say to thaw in the fridge overnight. I chose to thaw the meat in the microwave and then heat it in a skillet as directed. I added a little water to the pan and placed the lid on to “steam” it.

The sauce is also frozen so I ran hot water over the package until the contents melted. Then I added it to the meat in the skillet.

While the meat was heating, I placed Sister Schubert’s dinner rolls in the oven.

In less than 30 minutes, I had dinner ready. The longest time was taken by heating the rolls!

The family raved about them. We didn’t have any leftovers!

We are happy to have found Just Meats. It makes dinner prep so easy and hassle-free. If you are interested in trying it out, you can use my discount code for $35 off your order: JUSTJANETT
