I made these wintery bookmarks as part of my Christmas present to the children I work with.
I used a mix of stamps to create these scenes. The rabbit is Lavinia stamps Pipin. The twigs are also from Lavinia stamps.
The snow flakes are from an old S.U. set called Beautiful Blizzard. The Merry Christmas is from a retired S.U set called Seasonal Greetings.
The tiny pine trees and deer are from Inkylicous.
To make the slip pocket, I cut a piece of grey card down to 5x 7 1/2 inches .
Scored length ways at 2 1/4 and 4 1/4 inches.
Then scored on the short side at 1/2 inch.
Using a circle punch, I punched out the finger notch on the top front edge.
Fold all score lines and apply glue to the tabs and fold to seal .
This where I decided to heat emboss the front. It would have been easier to do this step before gluing the cover together.
I cut the front panel of the bookmark to 2 x7 inches.
Once I had finished stamping, I mounted the panel onto white card leaving 1/16th inch border on all sides.
I then mounted those two panels onto a grey piece of card, leaving a slightly wider border of 1/8th of an inch.
The last thing I did was to punch a small hole in the top of the bookmark and threaded through a ribbon.
