Hello! Welcome back to the Papertrey Ink countdown, where we get to preview some of the new products coming out on the 15th of September. Today we are introducing a new set of bookmark dies, Basic Bookmarks #1, 2 and 3, and the Book Club stamp set by Papertrey Ink!
For my first project, I was trying to think of a clever way to give books as a gift. I wrapped the covers of the books in white corrugated cardboard. It's pliable and bends right around the books, and I just tucked the ends of the cardboard under the front and back covers. Then I wrapped a large doily, a hello tag and some twine around the book.
I tied on a little gift tag that I made with the bookmark dies and and the Book Club stamps and says, "A Gift For You".
Here is the inside of the gift tag, stamped with Book Club. What a neat saying.
To make the tag, I cut a Basic Bookmark #3 out of a gold foil embossed card. I left some space at the bottom of the arrows to stamp "A Gift For You".
Then I simply scored it in the center and folded it in half to create the tag, punched a hole and tied it on!
Next up is a card. I used the same process as above, but this time I created a pocket instead of a tag, folding it in half and then added a couple of stitches on the sides to hold the pocket together for a bookstore gift card on the front.
It's hard to get good pictures, but the gold is so pretty. I thought the "time flies" would be perfect to go with the book theme! Time flies when you are reading a good book!!
Last, 2 simple bookmarks. Again these are made with the white corrugated cardboard! Get out your crimpers, ladies! Let's bring it back into style.
These were die cut with Basic Bookmark #1. The one on the left was run through the die cutting machine a second time to cut the holes for the stitching. I used the new Embroidered Borders die for the holes, and just ran some floss up and down through the holes, very easy.
The second bookmark was stamped with Book Club stamps and then embellished with some leaves die cut with Doodlie-Do dies. Hope you enjoyed these ideas for gifts for book lovers!
