Let Me Save Your Spot

I'm thrilled to have a stack of bookmark sleeves, so that I can create bookmarks that won't get bent up or torn.  These make such great gifts for those who love to read.  A fellow PTI forum friend, Michelle, coordinated a huge order for a bunch of us to order these sleeves in bulk.  Thanks again Michelle!!

Here's my first bookmark using these sleeves.  This was part of a Thanksgiving gift for my daughter's amazing teacher.



• I started with a piece of 7 x 2 1/4" Kraft cardstock.
• Adhere 6 x 2 1/4" patterned paper, leaving a small Kraft border on top and bottom.
• Add felt eyelet lace on top and bottom
• Cut and stamp Mat stack 3 piece
• I used the little felt pieces from inside the eyelets to create a circle border for my main image to rest on (see below)
• Stamped sentiment on the mat stack 3 piece
• Stamped second sentiment on white and punched out with 1" circle punch, matted this with 1 1/4" Kraft circle.

Here's the bookmark out of the sleeve:
