Items for a craft sale - bookmarks





I recently did a craft sale, the first for this year. As I was making some other items I found I was ending up with some scraps, and I said out loud "I wish I could use this paper for something", well my 7 year old daughter was in the room and she said "Mom you could do like the paper and make a stamp fit on it for bookmarks" Great idea! My little crafter! So that is what we did. At the sale, since it was her idea, I let her sell them. She actually sold quite a few of them. The patterned papers, and ribbons were all items I had on hand. I also made others, with other stamp sets I had on hand, they are on my other blog, which is found here:

Items for a Craft Fair - Corner Bookmarks




Here are some bookmarks I have been working on for the Craft Fair that is coming up soon. I did get the design idea off of SplitCoastStampers, however, I thought the ones they made, were a little large, so I adjusted it to be smaller. I actually used papers from the Designer Series Paper Sampler that Stampin' Up Demonstrators are able to order. This one is from last year, so the papers are retired. I tried to come up with something creative to do with the papers, since they are after all only 3 inches square and have a hole in them! The first picture is some of the bookmarks I made, and the second one is a close up of a bookmark inside a book (and yes it's one of the Twilight series books!) There won't really be too many that are the same since I am using the sampler, but that's okay, there will be lots to choose from! I used the circle punches, as well as the scalloped Circle punch, and grosgrain ribbons. Some of the Cardstock colors are also retired.
Sorry for the dark picture. I have them spread out on my chair and I guess my head was blocking the light.
