Recycled Packaging Bookmark
Here’s a cute little bookmark I made from the packaging from Sizzix dies. They come in a nice acrylic box but it’s a pain to store the die in it because I am always using them. It just takes too long to put them away every time. I just store them in a divided drawer I found. Instead of setting it down as though it was a drawer, I stood it up and use it as a shelf. The dies fit PERFECTLY and I can read the labels so I know what to grab. Long story short, now I have piles of these clear boxes. I had seen a post on the Sizzix blog, where Cara (Sizzix designer/artist extraordinaire) ran it through the Textured Impressions machine and used the embossed plastic on a card. I have to admit I was surprised that it held the shape of the impression and had to try it out.
Yes indeed, worked like a charm… I used Copic markets to further accentuate the embossing and colored in green stems and pink flowers to make them stand out. The edges of the matboard were inked in green and I added rhinestones to make it pop. The corners were rounded with my trusty Corner Chomper and I adhered the plastic to the backing with a small line of double sided tape. A small hole at the top was punched and ribbon added for a quick and easy bookmark! These would so easy to do assembly line style for teachers, a party favor or your book group.
18 Days till Christmas!
It’s winter! And we have the snow to prove it… I returned to Virginia on Saturday morning from 3 days in Kansas to a beautiful white wonderland. I am happy to report that my son is back from Iraq and he and his family are doing well! Thanks for all of your comments- I relayed them and he was touched at your concern and gratitude. Trinity is sporting the latest in ballerina attire.
Some fun events are coming up! First is another appearance on Tiffany Windsor’s Facebook LIVE: Spotlight on Creativity Monday, Dec. 7 at 10 AM with last minute holiday gift wrap ideas using my new Sizzix ScoreBoard dies. Instructions will be posted in the upcoming week for the projects featured on the show. I also have some exciting news to share so hope you can tune in.
This coming Wednesday is Blog Hop #5 and the featured die is the Business Card box (which also holds a gift card- how handy is that!). Hope you can join me at 11 AM on Dec. 9 to see the latest creations of the talented ScoreBoard designers.
Now that the craft shows are over and I am almost caught up on my orders, I finally have some creative time! Please check back here often for holiday decorating ideas, recycled projects and quick handmade gifts.
