Sweet Talk Corner Bookmark

-

 Do you love to read or do you know someone who does? Or maybe you want to have your kids or grandkids give their classmates a special Valentine to their classmates (you could tuck a piece of candy in it, too!). This corner bookmark is sweet and easy to make.



Here's the template we'll be using to tell us where to score and cut:


Measurements
  • Heather Highland cardstock (3-1/2" x 6")
  • Sweet Talk DSP (2-3/4" x 2-3/4")
  • Basic White scrap (small)
Directions
  1. With the short side of the Heather Highland piece against the bottom (or top) of your cutter, score at 1/2".
  2. Rotate cardstock and score at the 3" mark.
  3. Cut away the 1/2" x 3" rectangle shown in the diagram above, then mitre the remaining 1/2" rectangle, as shown.
  4. Cut from the bottom corner connected to the tab to the place where the middle score line and opposite edge of cardstock meet. You can do this with your paper trimmer (best results) or by hand.
  5. Fold on score lines and use bone folder to make crisp folds, ensuring that everything lines up properly.
  6. Stamp the different solid heart images randomly on the portions of the Highland Heather cardstock that will show once the bookmark is put together (or just stamp all over on both sides)
  7. Cut the DSP on the diagonal. You'll only need one half for the project. Take care when cutting to determine best diagonal to cut on with respect to image. DSP that has a specific direction to it is difficult on this project.
  8. Stamp Text Me heart in Gorgeous Grape on the Basic White scrap.
  9. Stamp the solid heart in Highland Heather on top of the previously-stamped heart.
  10. Die cut using Sweet Heart Dies.
  11. Apply Tear & Tape to the tab, near the score line, remove backing and form pouch.
  12. Adhere DSP to the flap.
  13. Adhere the die cut heart to the corner bookmark using Tear & Tape or Tombow Liquid Glue.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
