Happy Thursday,
It’s been crazy this week. I guess things won’t settle down now until after Christmas.
Are you done Christmas shopping yet? I’m almost there, I need a few more things and some stocking stuffers and I’ll be done.
As some of you may know I work as Head of Circulation at our local library. Well Monday I got a call from one of the libraries is our system asking if I can make bookmarks for a Tea Party they are having this weekend. This is what I came up with.
For the flower on the top of the bookmark I used chipboard covered in pattern paper (K&Co of course) and ran it through my Big Shot using the Flower Layers #3 die. It’s one of my favorite Sizzix dies. The ribbon is a grosgrain ribbon from Stampin’ Up!, I’m mostly using Chocolate Chip ribbon, but I didn’t have enough to make all 30 bookmarks so I’m using what is left of my So Saffron color. The tea pot in the center of the flowers is cut from the Cricut cartridge “A Child’s Year”. I cut the teapot at 1in. and embossed it using UTEE (I can’t stop using UTEE).
Oh My Gosh….have any of you started your Christmas cards? I have no clue what I’m making this year. Thankfully I have no plans this weekend and can get them started……
Have a great day.
Hugs,
That's really neat, and kind of you to make 30 of these. That tea pot actually looks more like a fancy brad than a cut out with all that cool UTEE on it. Is that stuff available at a retail store that you know of?PennyG cricut mb
Love it!Now I'm beginning to see what UTEE is. Thank you!!
What neat book marks! And I didn't even know the teapot was on the Child's Year cart – I'm going to try it as a stencil for some glass etching for a friend who collects tea pots! Thanks for the idea!Jackie
Very nice!! I never think of making ribbon bookmarks. Of course, I don't have very much ribbon – not nice wide ribbon anyway.Lori
Hi Christina, your bookmark is beautiful.
Your bookmark is beautiful, I'm sure everyone will just love them as much as we do. How nice of you to make 30 of them.
how creative. Really cute.
That's really a neat bookmark…something that Carol Duvall would call a "tuck in" for a letter or card.
Awesome bookmark and UTEE is very, very addictive! Looks wonderful, thanks for sharing.
I wish I had your energy1
I sooo love the bookmark. It is super cute. I definately need to try this. I really thought the teapot was a brad.
Oh yeah, the Christmas cards were made a month ago and I sent them out today. About 55-60 of them. Shopping I'm not doing so well on.Love the bookmark!
Love the bookmark. You are making me nervous…you are almost finished with Christmas shopping and I need to start :o)Have a great day!
Cute, cute, cute. Must try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
