Workshop Book Markers

I had a couple of hours of “me” time today and had a manicure and a

pedicure. I think everybody deserves a bit of pampering now and again, don’t you?

My time in my studio today
 has seen me experimenting
making book markers. 

I used the Stampin’ Up!
Scalloped Tag Topper
punch to cut out the base.
The colour I used is Hello Honey.

I used the Pleasant Poppy background stamp for the two Hello Honey book markers. It’s not often that I paint – although I love doing it – once I get started, I don’t like to stop! I used the Hardwood background stamp and stamped off once before stamping on the front of the base. I did the same on the back but without stamping off – hence it is much, much darker. I stamped 3 butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set using Hello Honey

 ink on Hello Honey card stock and then punched them out. I adhered

 them flat onto the poppies. I don’t agree with making book markers 

3D as they are going to be crushed inside a book.

I used the same card stock and poppy stamp for the second book marker. I changed the ink for the poppies and used 

So Saffron instead.  I stayed with the Hello Honey ink for the

 En Francais background stamp I used behind the poppies. As before, 

I stamped 3 butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri  stamp set but on 

Whisper White card stock, punched them out and adhered 

them to the poppies. On the back, I stamped with the En Francais 

stamp in Hello Honey ink, stamped 3 butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri 

stamp set using Hello
Honey ink on Hello Honey card stock 

and then punched them out. 

Hopefully, I’ll get more time tomorrow to work on some more. 

I don’t think I will use either of these book markers for my workshops 

as there is too much work involved for the amount of time we have.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Crafters.
