This craft would be fun to
stick in a book
for that special teacher or Mom
I found these long
paint chips at ACE Hardware
I cut them to
2 in wide
stamped them
depending on the type ink you use
you might need to use a heat gun
to dry before you go any further
Cut the corner w/ a rounder punch
Originally I waited to glue
the back paper on
but learned it was easier
to do it before
I stamped the front
I used diamond glaze
to embellish this one:
Oh the possibilities!!!!
I got these paint chips
at Lowes
they are shorter and wider
I got these stamps
and inks at Michaels
I'm not sure that these
all will be bookmarks
I may use some
on cards as well
These bookmarks
were inspired by
These are just tooooo cute, Jo! You are always thinkin', girl! ~ Sue
