Beautiful Bookmarks!

 

Why oh why I haven’t made these sooner I don’t know!

They are so simple  to make and yet look so stunning!

Book Mark 1

So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery were the order of the day colour wise.  I used the 5 Petal Flower punch and the Boho Blossom Punch to make the flowers, securing them together with a Gold Brad.  The handy Crop-a-dile was used to punch through 3 layers of cardstock and then secure the Jumbo Eyelet so that i could thread the Certainly Celery Ribbon through. 

The sentiment Always is from the Always Elegant stamp set which was then punch out with the Large Ova Punch and mounted inside the Scallop Oval.

I’m thinking of making a few of these for the teachers at my sons Pre-School Playgroup as he leaves this year to go onto Reception in September.  I can’t believe he is getting so big now!

Do you know anyone who reads, perhaps your children, parents, auntie or Uncle?  Why not send me pictures of your book marks and I'll post them up on here with a link back to your blog if you have one.

 

Back Soon

Congratulations Card

So it’s here, the Big Shot. I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MACHINE!

It is so versatile. You can cut numerous mediums with the cutting dies (Excluding the sizzlits).

I’ve used one of my most favourite Bigz Dies on the card I have made. The Top Note Die! I love it…well I did use it for my wedding stationery!!!!

I punched 3 Rose red flowers out and then ran some Pretty in Pink cardstock through using the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Embossing Folder and then punched out the flowers. The leaves are using the same flower punch and just trimming the petals into leaves.

Along with the use of Dimensionals and Basic pearls & Jewels this card has so much depth and interesting bits to it and yet is sooooo simple & easy to make.

The Congratulations phrase is from the versatile Perfect Punches Stamp Set.

I hope you like it.

Back Soon
