I recently received a folded bookmark from a card swap I'm part of and knew instantly I had to try make one! They are super simple to make, and adds a nice little surprise gift to a card. There are a few ways to fold a bookmark; I simply did a search on You Tube and found many varieties - take your pick on what suits you in the moment!
Here's the way the bookmark looks when its separated from the card. I used a new stamp set called Stippled Blossoms which I really love. The flowers look so real it makes you want to stick your nose in for a sniff LOL. I first stamped the solid portion of the flower in Baja Breeze. Then, using my Stamp-a-ma-jig, I stamped the inner portion of the flower in Midnight Muse. I followed the same procedure for the leaves using Old Olive and Always Artichoke; cutting each piece out with my paper snips after I stamped. I then used snail to adhere the leaves to the backside of the flowers and adhered them to the card using a dimensional. I think I'll have to make a few of these cards just to have on hand - who wouldn't like to not only receive a handmade card but get a little treat besides as well?? :)
Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Stippled Blossoms
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Subtles Designer Series DSP Pack
Ink: Baja Breeze, Midnight Muse, Old Olive, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Pool Party 1/2" seam binding ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig, dimensionals, snail
Thanks so much for looking!
