My monthly card exchange theme for June
was to make 2 bookmarks or a book themed card. I chose bookmarks.
For my first bookmark I went with a
rounded corner rectangle and welded the book feature from Graphically Speaking
Cricut cartridge to it. Can you believe I used plain white cardstock for the
base? It’s a miracle what various Ranger Tim Holtz distress ink pads can do for
your project. I also used a couple of his stamps, embossing one with silver
embossing powder and stamping the other with Ranger archival ink. A second
reverse layer was added for stability.
Cricut cart: Graphically Speaking page 47 priceless tag with interior cuts blacked out and page 51 blackout shift icon ‘book’ with icon shift ‘book’
Stamps: Tim Holtz Visual Artistry, The Journey stamp “enjoy your journey” – Tim Holtz Stampers Anonoymous, Curious Possibility “every possibility begins with the courage to imagine…”
Paper: plain white cardstock, black recollections cardstock for the book outline
BOOKMARK 2
My second bookmark is based on what I’m currently reading, George R R Martin’s 5th book in his A Song of Fire and Ice series – A Dance with Dragons. (Yes, I also watch GoT on HBO.) My favorite character is Ghost, Jon Snow’s direwolf. If you watch GoT, you will see how I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder to get the feel of the intro part of the show. I know Ghost is supposed to be white but I really liked the silver metallic paper for him. I did add the red rhinestone for his eye. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete with the Stark mantra, “Winter is Coming.” This is a corner bookmark.
