Faux Snowman/Twill Bookmark


So yesterday I was scanning through a Christmas magazine and I saw some adorable felt stitched snowman. I thought it would make an adorable card. So this morning I got up hoping the challenge would fit so I could use it. No such luck, so I just made it anyway. I punched the snowman body out of 3 different shapes. I then ran the fat end of the marker around the edge of the circle. I used my grid and punch from the tool kit to do the holes around the edge. I just keep turning the grid to poke the next hole. Every thing is popped up on Dimensionals.
Stamps: All in a row, Cold Play
Paper: Always Artichoke, Dash DSP, Mellow Moss
Ink: Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red
Accessories: Circle Punched- 1 3/8", 1 1/4", 1", 1/2", Word Window Punch



Another great way to make a bookmark it to use the Wide Twill tape. I have so much of it left over because I tend to grab the 2 other sizes. So I decided to make very simple bookmarkers. All you need is either Craft Inks or Stazon Inks to stamp you image and the Twill tape. Any size would work. I frayed the edges by finding a loose thread and pulling. One end is always harder than the other to pull. I heat set the inks with the iron and it is ready to go.

Stamps: Baroque Motifs
Ink: Craft- Old Olive, Ruby Red
Accessories: Twill Tape

Snowman Bookmark

Sorry, no card today as I am one of those crazies who need to be at the store at 4:00 a.m. when they open. It is a family tradition that my Mom, sisters and I enjoy doing together every other year. So enjoy your day!


I know I like to spend a lot of time reading, especially when it is soo cold outside. Winter is fast on it's way! My kids always get a book of some type for a Christmas gift, plus we spend a lot of time at the library. They love a variety of bookmarks. I've made this one with the Baroque Motifs before but decide to make a fun on this time. The scallops are back to back with the same image on each side. I run my iron over the ribbon to heat set the ink.
Stamps: Cold Play
Paper: Really Red, Whisper White
Ink: Black Stazon, Pumpkin Pie, Really Red, Whisper White Craft Ink on the ribbon
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch
