Valentine's Card with Corner Bookmark
by Amy Kinsch
 Royal Flowers Background 1172R 4 3/4" x 6" |
 Small Music 904M 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" |
 Heart Face 918K 2 1/4" x 2 1/2" |
 Fancy Love 1031G 2 3/4" x 3/4" |
 Hoyle 919E 2 1/2" x 1/2" |
| Supplies: cardstock in assorted colors, dye and pigment ink, embossing powder, scissors, paper cutter/cropper, bone folder, double stick tape or glue |
| I started with a 5" x 5" sheet of cardstock to make the corner bookmark. Score from corner to corner and cut out one section. |
 |
| Stamps and embellish however you like. I embossed the Fancy Love with black glitter embossing powder and stamped the heart twice in purple dye ink. I also added a strip of marbled paper which you can see in a photo below. Once you're done embellishing you can fold up the bookmark and use glue or double stick tape to adhere it. |
 |
| The card is just a simple layered card. I stamped the Heart Face in pigment ink and used the black glitter embossing powder again. The Small Music was stamped twice on a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of sage green cardstock using black dye ink. The Royal Flowers was stamped on a 4 1/2" x 5" piece of lavender cardstock the same way. I then cut two pieces of black cardstock, each just a bit bigger than the two stamped pieces. |
 |
| All of the pieces were layered and affixed with double stick tape. |
 |
| Here's a picture of the
bookmark in use. This would be a great gift for a friend
especially if you also give a book. You can put the bookmark on the inside of the card like I did in the finished picture at the top or you can also create your card so the bookmark looks good on the front. |
