Stampin Up Bookmark Card


Here is a bookmark card, trying something different....
The bookmark is attacked on the inside with removable tape (not shown in picture).

I used the lovely Beautiful Season stampset, blender pen and crayons for colouring... stamp-a-ma-jig for layering in correct place. .... next time I might frame the bookmark to make it standout more... ok for a first attempt though.

Coolest cricut cards!







Firstly a forever young card based on a design in one of the cricut magazines, next a cute birthday dog from birthday bash, super bird from 3 birds on parade, and the snail from birthday bash. Don't you just love the word stamps! So cool, I got these from america, they are design by the lady who does the pink stamper blogspot, I just love the punny phrases and that they are designed to use with the cricut cartridges.....
