Corner Bookmark Card using Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and Flowers for Every Season DSP

Welcome to my blog.Yes another bookmark. I like theses corner bookmarks and using for card front is a good way to gift it. This is another project for craft fairs. I found this on Jennifer McGuire YouTube channel. I used DSP rather than stamping my own layering piece.
Materials and Directions
- I started by making the corner bookmark. I used a piece of Early Espresso cardstock 5-1/2 x5-1/2. I cut this diagonally to make 2 triangles. Score the triangle @ 2-3/4 on both sides. Here is a sample in red.
I then used the large stitched square to cut a piece of Whisper White and Bumblebee. On the white piece I stamped the sunflower image and colored it using Stampin blends markers. I folded the triangle into a square. I glued the Bumblebee square on the back( cut side). Turn over with the opening to the left I glued the white square ( that has the image)
- The layering piece is a 4 x 5-1/4 of Flowers for Every Season DSP. I placed the bookmark on top then made a dot with a pencil on the top left and bottom right. Using my paper cutter I cut between the dots. I then glued this piece to a 5-1/2 x4-1/4 Whisper White card base. I then put the bookmark through the slit .




Here are some more I made with Playful Pets and Gilded Autumn Speciality DSP.

Bookmark Card with Freezin’ Fun stamp set and Snowflake Splendor DSP

Welcome to my blog.  I watched a video on YouTube by Jennifer McGuire on bookmark cards. The above card is my take on it using Freezin’ Fun stamp set and Snowflake Splendor DSP.
- For the book mark I used 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card base. I stamped an image from the stamp set  on both sides as in the photo. I then cut this in 1/2 . This gives you 2 bookmarks. I Colored the images.
- The card base is 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 of Whisper White cardstock. I cut a piece of Snowflake Splendor 4 x 5-1/4 to layer on top.
I placed the bookmark on top to measure where I needed to cut the opening. You can see this on Jennifer McGuire YouTube video.

Have a Hoot Bundle with Plaid Tidings DSP


Welcome to my blog. Bundles can help you create fantastic projects! You also save 10% when you buy a bundle. For these cards I used Have a Hoot bundle . I’ll love the owls. These cute owls make Halloween and Christmas cards. I paired this bundle with the Plaid Tidings DSP.  I cut the DSP using a 6x 6 one sheet wonder template.
-Here is the template for the 6 x 6 one sheet wonder template:
I used 1 piece of the DSP and both sides to make the 4 cards. I adhered these pieces to the card bases as in the photos.
-The card base is 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 . I used Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce.
- I used Whisper White cut using layering square die. I then stamped the image and colored. I layered them on Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade Cardstock die cut  using the larger layering square die. I then adhered to the card as in the photos.
