A Bookworms' Dream!

Well I am busy preparing for my upcoming Christmas....Birthdays.....and my Mother/Daughter Nite. We will be making a Bookmark using the new CTMH Wings products due out in Feb. 2011 I decided to try out this bookmark and make a sample but this being me I know no portion control.....Have to ask the family....I cook for an army...LOL! Anywways I decided that if I was going to make a sample I might as well make a bunch of them with a friends theme. I figured they could be used for a Birthday Card and given in pairs. Or you could use them for invitations.





I have used a variety of different papers to add interest and to experiment with different options and placement of them. I used a stamp from my CTMH Heart to Heart Stamp Set included in the Magnifique Workshop Kit (G1015) I also used a stamp from my CTMH It's Your Day Stamp Set (D1352) I used a few of my CTMH Exclusive Inks - Black (Z2105), Lagoon (Z2195), and Pear (Z2197). On the presents I also used some clear glitter glue to add a little subtle sparkle.

RECIPE
2 1/2" x 6 1/2" Cardstock
2 1/4" x 6 1/4" Cardstock
2" x 6" Cardstock
2" x 2" Cardstock
2 1/2" x 1" Cardstock
3" x 1/4" Cardstock

  • Stamp "Friends 4Ever" with Black Ink on 2" x 6" Cardstock
  • Stamp Present wth Pear and Lagoon Inks on the 2" x 2" Cardstock. Trim image.
  • Assemble top layer of Bookmark, fold 3" x 1/4" Cardstock in half, trim edges at an angle and secure with a button brad.
  • Attach present.
  • Attach finished piece to 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" Cardstock
Well hope you like this activity and have fun crafting!

  1. Love the bookmarks. Elaina really like hers, so much that she might just keep both of them...lol...despite my explanation of how they work.
