Hi, Margie here today…Happy New Year! My resolution for the year is to read more books! Inspired by this goal, I created a Book Lover’s Bookmark Card because it can house a corner bookmark and it’s a perfect gift for any of my bookworm friends. Let me show you!
Book Lover’s Bookmark Base
Score a piece of a 4-inch square of patterned paper into four 2-inch quarters. Cut one square off and set it aside to use for the card base. Adhere the flaps together with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser to create a square pocket shape.
Bookmark Assembly
One side will have a double layer – open and fold over one layer, leaving the outside pattern as a 1/8-inch border as shown in the upper right corner image. Secure it with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. Next, apply half of a 1.25-inch decorative circle with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and adhere to the middle of the square, leaving half overhang on the edge. Your bookmark is done. Set it aside.
Embellish the Card Base
Fold a piece of 6 x 4-inch white cardstock in half to create a 3 x 4-inch side fold card base. Adhere a 2.25-inch square on the upper right corner and layer the 2-inch square cut from the bookmark base. Use your bookmark as a guide for placement. Adhere a border at the bottom edge of the card base.
The Finishing Touches
Mat a piece of 3 5/8 x 4 5/8-inch of pink patterned paper on top of a 3 7/8 x 4 7/8-inch of green patterned paper. Place it on top of a 4 x 5-inch white cardstock panel. Center the 3 x 4-inch white card base and add the bookmark in the upper right corner.
Place a small 3D Foam Heart on the lower left corner, remove the top liner, and foil the heart with a piece of Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors in Pink. Simply place the foil color facing you and rub the foil to transfer the color. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and adhere with E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser on top of the border.
I hope you enjoyed my Book Lover’s Bookmark Card! So what is your New Year’s Resolution? Share with me in the comments below. Wishing you a better and wonderful year in 2024 (the Year of the Dragon)!
