Bookmark

Good Morning!

A quick post from me to share a bookmark for which the background was made with peerless watercolors. The W&W blooms (the big, the bold & the extras) were heat embossed in gold to create a background. I loved the subtle water colors peeking through the embossed flowers & decided to color only the leaves.

The sentiment is a PTI stamp.

I have made several bookmarks in the past, you can check them here, here, here & here.

Metal Bookmarks

Hello!

If you are paper hoarder like me & cling on to the smallest bit of pattern paper, read on as I share a few useful ways to make the best of the smallest piece!

Made some beautiful bookmarks with cabochons using the left over pattern papers.

Next are some key rings. Played around with alcohol inks on the surface of the acrylic tags. Over the other side are pattern papers!

And this one is a bag tag made similarly! Fun, isn't it? How do you use your valueable scraps? Would love to hear!

No papers used in these bookmarks!

Tuesday evening & another challenge at Creative Colors!

Please do  visit the challenge blog here for inspiration   by the design team using digis by our sponsors -

Stationery Set

Hi All! 

Sharing some handmade stationery I made for the current challenge at Color Conceptions Challenge #9. This coordinating set includes - a magnetic calender, sticky note pad, 2 bookmarks & a corner bookmark. Perfect to gift someone, isn't it?

.

This note pad holder has a magnetic closure.......

Love the busy pattern paper on this magnetic calender & hence added minimal elements. 

My fav are these bookmarks................faux stitching on the pattern paper highlights the intricate design.

Bookmarks

Good Morning!!

Like many of you I have been hoarding even the smallest piece of card stock & pattern paper scraps forever. Before things get out of hand I decided to use some of these & made lots of bookmarks. 

The next lot in my fav combo black & white are my absolute favorites!

Did you notice I have even used the mod podge melts embellishments & some die cuts covered with UTEE!

This is a fun way to use all the scraps, die cuts, stickers & embellishments. Well I know I went a little over board decorating the bookmarks, but who cares, don't they look pretty! These will make such pretty gifts.
