Tutorial

 

 
1.  Cut designer paper to 2 3/8 by 2 "
2.  Cut 2 pieces of magnets 1 1/4 by 1 3/4

 

3.  Attach the magnets to the wrong side of the DSP at the top and bottom ends, and punch one end using the Scallop tag topper punch.

 

 

 

 

4.  Fold the book mark in half and decorate.

 

 

5.  Punch a 1 3/4" scallop circle punch in Always Artichoke, and a 1 1/4" Whisper White Circle punch

  

 

6.  Adhere them together and then adhere to the top of the bookmark.

 

 

 

 

7.  Now make the flower.  I made this bookmark with a particular book in mine, so my daisy is a rust coloured one.

A. Punch 3 using the 1 1/4" scallop circle punch of desired colour (Cajun Craze), and 2 of Daffodil Delight using the 7/8" scallop circle punch.

  

B.  Remove every other scallop of the larger scallop circle.  Snip between every other scallop in the smaller circle, then make a small snip in the top of each scallop.  Then sponge the formed flowers - with Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry.

 

 

 

 

C.  Start forming the flowers by using a pencil eraser or another round object and pushing it into the center of each flower.  Use the stamping pad to do this. The middle will be pressed down and the petals come up.

 

 

 

 

D.  Form flower by layer them together using a dot of tombo glue between each layer.  Alternate the petals.  Add the 2 yellow ones in the center, and add a large rhinestone in the middle.  Push petals up with your fingers until you are happy with the look of the flower.  Then adhere to bookmark.

 

 

Here is what the bookmark looks like on one of the new Kraft journals.

 

 

 

 

 

Simple Magnetic Bookmark Tutorial 

 

To get started I took some designer series paper and cut it to 5 x 2 1/4".  

Then I cut some magnet sheets down to 2 1/4" x 2 3/8"

 

Peel the self adhesive backing off the stampin up magnet sheets.

 

 Stick them on the back side of your designer paper, so there's a 1/4" gap in the back.. (look, mine isn't straight, but it doesn't matter).   

Next, I placed my designer paper face down against the two tags die from Stampin' Up! 

After it comes out of the big shot, this is what you've got.  Discard the outlined piece or cut that again and use it as magnet

 Here's a view of the front.  

 

 Fold the bookmark in half.  (yea it sticks!)

 

 

 Here's a view of the folded bookmark from the front.  Now she's ready to decorate!!

 

  I stamped an "A" on some vanilla card stock and punched it with 1 3/8" circle punch.  I used a scalloped circle below it.
