Fall Paper Clip Bookmarks

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here with a fun project that you can use to jazz up your planner or to use as a bookmark. I used a few of the stamps from Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods and Happy Harvest sets to make some fall-themed paper clip bookmarks.

I stamped two of each image on heavyweight (110 lb.) white card stock. After coloring one of the images, I cut it out and left a little tail in the middle to loop around the paper clip. Then, I folded the tail behind the colored image and adhere the second image (stamped side up) to the back. 

You can get a better idea of how it's put together with this photo. (To make sure the two images line up, I added the adhesive on top of the uncolored image.)

I made some smaller page flags with scraps of coordinating paper, and used bigger images on the bigger paper clips. Here's a look at the set:

These are fall-themed, but you could use Christmas-themed stamps to make a stationery gift set for a gift, or general images for a birthday or thank you gift.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and will join us on Monday for a brand new challenge!

No mess shaker cards

Hello. 

I  have some shaker cards to share today and a little tip for making them with no mess from glitter or sequins or seed beads trying to escape.

I created a winter scene using  toboggan together.

As my scene has lots of layers i didn't want my shaker filling to get stuck on anything and as the cards are for young children I also didn't want any choking hazard to escape the card.

So i used something that most card makers have self sealing bags, the type you put your cards in.

I just added some fake snow to one and a sequin seed bead mix to another and adhered them to the inside of the frame.

I still used double side foam tape to give everything room to move but everything is contained inside the bag.

You could of course use a fuse tool if you have it.

I love that everything moves freely when you shake the  cards and i know nothing is going to fall out.

Thanks for looking.
