Christmas Bookmark card - Tutorial.

By
I have had a lovely day today - I have been out crafting with a lovely lady called Jane ( you can find her blog here ) and we made some gorgeous little Christmas boxes. I haven't quite finished them yet but I will get them up on the blog as soon as I have.
Speaking of Christmas (and it is only 54 days away folks) I had a go at an idea that has been buzzing around in my head for a while.
I took a 5" x 5" card blank and scored a line down 2" in from the edge with a perforating tool.


I then took a piece of white card stock and stamped a winter scene with some blue ink, a sponge and some ripped copy paper


I then took some blue card stock and cut it so that it would fit either side of the perforated line. The winter scene was then cut to fit the blue card stock. It was all then attached to the card


I bought a craft magazine recently and on the cover was a free set of clear Polka Doodles stamps - perfect for what I wanted. I added a couple of sentiments and my stamped design was attached using 3D foam pads



The card can be sent and then the edge of the card can be easily removed to use as a bookmark.
Thanks for looking - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
