Mother's Day Cards

Mother's Day will be here before we know it, these pretty bookmarks make great Mother's Day cards.

 

 

You get 4 bookmarks total, 2 of each design. These are very easy to work with, all you need to do is cut them out. I also cut a piece of chipboard and layered mine up, I used all of the bookmarks, putting 1 on the bottom, chipboard than the 2nd bookmark (Lilac on Lilac and Lavender on Lavender) on top.

 

 

After layering them up I punched the holes in the top and added a piece of twine. I used my paper crimper on the card face and a Cuttlebug embossing folder (butterflies) with some Core'dinations paper, I sanded some of the embossing along the butterflies, "trails".

 

I also added a small wood butterfly to each bookmark and a jewel to the center of the butterflies. Sequins and pearls on the opening edge and used my only Mother's Day stamp on the sentiment.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Bring Flowers Bookmarks

Happy Friday everyone!

It's time to start the weekend and a new month! I'm glad to say good-bye to February and winter. And, I'm looking forward to March and the return of spring and all it's beauty. Today I'm featuring bookmarks I made with Deena's Printable Bookmarks - Bring Flowers.

This downloadable is just gorgeous -- with the beautiful flowers and vintage sheet music background. There are four different images on a sheet and I printed out two sheets so that I could use the same image on the front and back of my bookmarks. All you have to do is print and cut -- so easy!

I punched a hole at the top of the bookmark so I could thread a piece of white lace trim through it. Unfortunately, doing so covers up the words "Bring Flowers" but the lace trim goes so well with the vintage look of these bookmarks.

I hand-stamped "just a note" on a scrap of white cardstock and attached that and a bit of black and white gingham ribbon to the bookmark. As a finishing touch, I added two clear beads -- I think they look like dewdrops that you'd find on a flower after a gentle rain shower.

Have a great weekend everyone -- and as always, thanks for visiting.

Magnetic Bookmark Made From Tags

Hello... Today, I'm showing you a cute little tutorial on how to make a magnetic bookmark.

I printed the file, Hang Tags - Sunflowers on white card stock, trimmed two the tags and inked the edges with a coffee colored ink pad.

After that I cut a piece of brown cardstock 2 inches wide by 9 inches long. I folded the cardstock in half lengthwise, then I glued the tags to the brown cardstock. Place them so the top of the tag is near the fold and try to line them up the same on both sides.

The next step was adding the magnets. I attached two small magnet pieces together, making sure they attached to each other. Then, I glued them both to the inside of the open end of the folded cardstock. I left them attached while gluing so the would line up correctly. Gluing one side and then the other.

Once the glue was dry, I added eyelets to each side of the tag where the printed eyelet was... it was a bit tricky to make sure they were lined up, but I used bigger sized eyelets and it helped to cover up the flaws. After that, I threaded some ribbon thru the eyelets.

The bookmark is now ready to use, simply place it over the top of a few pages and let the magnets grab on. You can turn your book upside down and it won't fall out.
