Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Cut the following
    For card base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4”, 4 1/2” x 3 1/2”
    White: 6 1/2” x 4 1/4" scored at 3 1/4” on the long side, 1 3/4” x 1 3/4”
    Patterned paper: 5 1/4” x 4”, coordinating papers 5” x 5”, 3” x 7/16”

  2. Step 2

    Die cut or punch out a 2 3/4” circle from the middle of the 4 1/2” x 3 1/2” card base, as well as a white 2 1/4” circle.

  3. Step 3

    Stamp a greeting on the front of the 6 1/2” x 4 1/4” white piece using the small long strip of pattern paper as a guide for placement.

    Stamp an inside sentiment on the small white square. Stamp image; color and cut out.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the 5” x 5” piece of patterned paper in half, then open up and fold in half the other way.

    Trim away one of the squares. Cut that square down to 2” x 2”.

  5. Step 5

    Fold one flap over. Add adhesive to the top of it and fold the remaining flap over. This makes the bookmark.

  6. Step 6

    Flip the bookmark over and fold the flap back so that some of the coordinating side shows a little. Cut a 3 1/2” piece of ribbon and adhere it between the flap and book mark, adding more adhesive to keep that top flap closed. Layer the white circle and your image to the bookmark

  7. Step 7

    Layer the card pieces as shown. On the inside, layer the small stamped white square onto the larger patterned paper square.

  8. Step 8

    Slide the bookmark over the top right corner of the card front and your project is now complete.

Fun tutorial! I've made the corner bookmarks before but never thought to put them on a card.

Cute idea. You could hide another diecut gnome under the bookmark, so the card isn't blank-looking when the bookmark is removed.
