Step 1
Card stock and Measurements
  • Card stock cut to 4" x 4" square (if you prefer you could make the square bigger or smaller)
  • 2x Squares cut to   2 ¾” x 2 ¾”  (cut one out of card stock and the other from your chosen design paper).
  • If you make your square bigger or smaller you will need to adjust your smaller square.  To do this just measure your diagonal score mark this will give you the size of your smaller square.
Step 2 


Mark three sides of your 4" square at 2 inches.

Step 3 


Score your lines from mark to mark


Step 4


The two smaller  2 ¾” squares, cut them both diagonal to end up with two triangles.. 



Step 5 


Use your punch or die to shape the bottom edge of the base of your bookmark..

Step 6



Using one of your design paper triangles, glue to the front. 

Step 7 & 9


Measure from the bottom edge of the triangle to the top edge of your shaped border. Cut a piece of card stock and decorate.  I used distressing inks to add some colour to my edges.

Step 8


Glue to the front and add ribbon.

 Step 9 


Follow step 8 this is for the back of your bookmark to hide the ribbon edges. 

Step 10 




Use double sided tape to secure the two flaps at the back.  Then add the other card stock triangle to hide the gap.  Decorate with the remaining design paper triangle.


Step 11



Add your die cut circle and scalloped edged circle and decorate.  For this bookmark I used a digital 

image from 


called "New Rosaline"

Add your chosen embellies and your finished.

NEW BLOG JUST FOR TUTORIALS

I'm setting up this blog to list all sorts of tutorials. As I'm finding it takes me ages to search for the information I might need for different projects. If you have a tutorial that you would like me to add here please get in contact. All I would do would be to list your tutorial, what it is and then a link to your blog/site.
