Bookmark Tutorial

 

Hello Whimsy-Fans, Iris here. Hope you are all doing well! Today is tutorial time here on the Whimsy Inspirational Blog and I like to show you how to make a little corner-bookmark. 

Gather your supplies.
You'll need:
card stock, any color you like

scoring board

pencil

ruler

cutter or scissors

glue

colored image of your choice
designer paper and embellishments

Start by cutting a piece of cardstock 5 x 5 inches.
Your finished bookmark will measure 3.5 x 3.5 inches

Mark on each side at 2.5 inches

Score at two adjacent sides (see photo)

Now fold the two corners inward

Cut off the other two corners (see photo)

This is how your piece of cardstock will look like after folding and cutting off the corners

Now it's time to decorate your bookmark.  I'll cut a piece of cardstock 3.5 x 3.5 inches., cut it in half and use it to close the flaps. Now you can add your image and embellies as you like! Remember when adding your image only glue it to the top part of the bookmark!

This is how my finished bookmark looks like. I used that super adorable little Whimsy Frog for my bookmark. I really like these kind of bookmarks because you just slide them over the corner of a book page and nothing is sticking out. This makes it easy to carry your book in a bag or purse without ruining your bookmark ;-)

I hope that you liked my little tutorial and got inspired to try one yourself soon!

Have a fabulous rest of the week!

Hugs,

Celebrate Big!

Hi All!!  It's Erin here with you today!!  I have a special birthday card to share with you.  This one is for my nephew who will be a big brother any day now to twins!!!! 
I used a bunch of Whimsy stuff for this one.  First up is in the dog house from Crissy Armstrong, as well as party accessories. 
I also used the Whimsy Small Balloon Shapeology.  Birthday is in my own handwriting.
Thanks for popping over!

Vintage Rose Tag

Hi everyone!  Simonne here just popping on here to share a creation I made a few weeks ago with some of our newest Whimsy Stamps releases. I used the single rose stamp from the FRAGRANT ROSE stamp set and one of Ann's fab POSTAGE STAMPS stamps to mage a vintage tag.  I also used the brand new POSTAGE STAMP DIE to cut out the Postage Stamp.

I can see so many possibilities for these postage stamps - one being dressing up envelopes.  All my cards are popped into a plain, white envelope (unless they need a box...and then it's still plain white, LOL!) and so these stamps are going to be perfect for making each envelope special and unique.  Ooh, I may even stamp it in a coordinating colour to the card and then use some clear embossing powder to give it texture (must buy some first though, LOL!).

Thank you so much for dropping by today! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,
