It is a fun project. You can do it in your free time and it is quick because the markers do not require a long time to dry. For my project today, I got the fabric bag from a craft store and I picked just one color to use but you can pick any color you want to use depending on the stencil design you use.

These bookmarks are a great gift for book lovers, or donating to your local library, or even just for you to use personally. You can make a batch of them in a short time! Over Imagine Crafts Blog, I share step by step tutorial.

I find that Canson Watercolor Paper 140lb is the best to make bookmarks. They are not only thick and sturdy, but also you can use any craft  techniques with this paper – either simply stamping, or watercoloring, or even mixed media.

Cut a piece of watercolor paper into 6 inch x 1 ¾ inch size. One piece of this 9 x 12 watercolor paper, you can get 10 bookmarks.

You can leave it as a rectangle or you can round the corner with the corner rounder punch. Next, use a ¼ inch hole punch to punch a hole at the center top of the bookmark for ribbon or teasel.

Here are the supplies I used:

Imagine Crafts:

• Memento DewDrop Sorbet Scoops (Angel Pink, Rose Bud, New Sprout, Bamboo Leaves)
• Delicata Pink Shimmer Ink Pad
• Delicata Ruby Red Ink Pad
• VersaFine Clair Morning Mist Ink Pad
• Ink Potion No. 9 Spray
• Imagine Craft Mat
• Staz-On All Purpose Stamp Cleaner

Others:

• Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamp – Dearest Friend Stamp Set
• Canson Watercolor Paper 140lb
• Corner Rounder Punch
• Hole Punch (¼ inch)
• Fiskar paper trimmer
• Acrylic stamping blocks
• Flat paint brush or fan brush
• Craft Heat Gun
• Ribbon or twice or tassel

I made this Love Notes Mini Book using the new digital stamp set from Graciellie Design – Heart Notes.

This project I made with digital stamp set and I used my Silhouette Cameo Machine to do the cutting. I worked with Silhouette Design Studio software to do for the Print and Cut with this digital stamps.

I open the digital stamp files on my image software, resized them to the same sizes and arrange the sentiment on each page. After that, I printed them on white cardstock and then I cut it with electronic cutting Machine. I added some inks of each page with blending brush.

The last page I made the coupons using the Graciellie Design – Love Love Love mega digital stamp set and I cut the ticket shape with my Silhouette Cameo machine. I added it to the both pages with permanent adhesive and it will folded when the book is closed.

I stacked all the pages together with thin double sided tape, and then I punched the holes on the side of the heart with We R Memory Keeper hole punch. After that, I added those ribbons. And then I added some sequins on each page for extra bling.

I hope this project give you an idea for your Valentine’s Day project. Thanks for stopping by!

Today, I made these Christmas ornaments using Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps:

• Adorn Him Stamp Set
• Adorn Him Die Set
• Peace & Joy Word Dies
• Starry Night Stencil

On both wood slice backgrounds, I painted them with Black chalk paint. I set them aside to dry.

For the first ornament, I used the stencil, Metallic Gelatos, and white paint to create the starry night background.

I used Altenew Artist Markers to color the baby Jesus image after I stamped it with Memento Ink. And then I cut it with the matching die.

After the background dried, I added the Baby Jesus image on it with permanent craft glue. Make sure your glue is strong for wood or any surfaces.

For the other ornament, I cut the word Joy from the Peace & Joy Word Dies with permanent White Vinyl and then I added it on the wood slice. And then, I simply added the White Coconut Gelatos pigment on it with finger to give the chalkboard look on it.

All dies will be “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” from December 16th until December 23rd at Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps store!!!

I hope you like these two ornaments today and give it a try to make your own.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a blessed season!
