Here is a cute In-Color Book Mark – perfect for marking a spot in your new catalog, or a book or anything else you may need a book mark for. Those that attended my Catalog Kickoff event earlier this month got to make one to take home.
This year Stampin’ Up! created the book mark template for us. I printed them off on Whisper White card stock and cut into 2″ strips. Each one was punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.
For each In-color I punched a piece of card stock with the Classic Label Punch. Did you know that you can use that punch to create the little flag ends? Punch the classic label and then stick it back in from the side to punch each end again into a flag.
Do that for each of the In-Colors and attach with adhesive on to the bookmark in the appropriate spot.
Then I used the Tabs for Everything stamp set – I stamped the outline images in Memento Black ink. I used a long block to put all 4 images on at once, ink them and stamp on a strip.
Then I used the coordinating fill image to fill in with the In-Colors. The thumbs up doesn’t have an outline so it was just stamped by itself on the strip. Each one was punched out with the 3/4″ circle punch. Then attach with adhesive on top of the corresponding color strip.
To finish the top I added a piece of the 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon (Fresh Fig color) that was tied with a small piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine.
At my Catalog Kickoff event I had a display of all the brand new Stampin’ Up! Ribbons, Trims and Twine. I actually bought a roll of every one. And then I thought I should do a video to show them to everyone that couldn’t come to the kickoff or that doesn’t live local to me. They are so much better in real life than they are in the photos in the catalog. And while the video isn’t exactly real life – you can’t touch them – you can see them a little bit better than just looking at the little photo in the catalog.
I took a couple of photos after arranging them in rainbow order – I had all the like styles together while I shared them in the video.
And here is the video. If you are reading this in an email you may need to click through to my blog or YouTube to see the video. And while you are there be sure to sign up for my YouTube channel so you know when I post a new one.
I hope you like seeing all the new ribbon. Which one is your favorite?

Red, White and Blue or in the case of Stampin’ Up! colors – Real Red, Whisper White and Dapper Denim. The perfect combination for a patriotic card. The 4th of July is quickly approaching and it will be Independence Day – you could use this idea for an invitation to a summer celebration.
I used the Watercolor Words stamp set on page 136 of the Stampin’ Up! 2017-2018 Annual catalog. I even used the card idea on that page! I just switched up the colors. The card on that page uses the Note Cards & Envelopes and I actually made a full sized card so I added my Whisper White layer onto a Real Red card base. My finished card is 5-1/2″ wide and 4-1/4″ tall – that is the normal size that I create.
I added the Pick a Pattern Washi Tape which is a variety of Black & White designs in 5 different widths. The Real Red strip is stamped and then punched on each end with the Triple Banner Punch. I added a silver Mettalic Enamel Shaped star.
I even decorated the inside of the card this time –
And be sure to dress up the envelope too – a little stamping and a bit of washi tape too.
I sure do wish I was a good writer. But I’m not. I often sit with my fingers on the keys just waiting to think of something to write. So these blog posts are not always easy. And I certainly don’t ever have catchy titles like others do. My title is usually just the fact of what my project is about. So I hope I don’t bore you. Perhaps you don’t read any of the words any way and just come for the pictures!
Today’s card uses the Wood Words stamp set and the new Tranquil Tide In-Color.
For this one I decided to use Very Vanilla with the Tranquil Tide and I also used the new Very Vanilla Solid Baker’s Twine. Have I told you how much I love all the new ribbons. I do! And my plan is to make a video and show them all to you. I think you can see them better that way than you can just looking at them in the catalog. Hoping to do that this week. Sorry – I got off topic.
For this card I also stamped on the inside –
I just added a Very Vanilla layer and stamped the corner with the flowers. We made this card in one of my private card classes and it will also be an option at this month’s Card Maker’s class on Friday. I’ll have 2 color choices – the Tranquil Tide shown here and also Fresh Fig. Both look nice with the Very Vanilla.
If you are local to me come on Friday to Card Maker’s Class – I have class at 10 am and again at 7 am. CLICK HERE for my class calendar on my website – you can read the details of each class and RSVP for the one you’d like to attend.
