How to Make a Ginger Cat Magnetic Bookmark

How to Make a Ginger Cat Magnetic Bookmark – Fluffiest of Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love to read, do you? I know we have digital books but there is something special about real books. Nothing can beat it. I do admit I will buy fiction books digitally but never nonfiction. It’s just too hard to keep referencing back to previous pages digitally.

Making your own bookmarks is so easy and why not have something pretty to keep your page? This bookmark is a magnetic one. I bought the magnet pairs online a few years ago and still have tons left.

The inspiration for this project is the neighbourhood ginger cat. I don’t know where his home is but he loves to sunbath either in my drive or garden.

Make a Stamped Floral Bookmark

Make a Stamped Floral Bookmark – Two Tone Flora – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Lincoln UK

Making your own bookmarks is so easy to do and a lovely little gift to someone special. I do have a few times to share with you. Firstly if you are making a loose bookmark make sure it is long enough to go not get lost in the book. Secondly don’t add dimension as it will give you weird lumps in your book.

I’ve used the Two Tone Flora stamp set. It is a two-step stamp set which gives these flowers a lovely realistic feeling. The stamps are very easy to line up and I didn’t need to use a Stamparatus. I’ve made this bookmark in two different colourways. Which do you prefer?

Tutorial – Make a Magnetic Bookmark

Tutorial – Make a Magnetic Bookmark – Adorable Owls – Crafting with Ashee -Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

The photo doesn’t do this little chap justice. He is just adorable in real life. I love reading and consequently love making little bookmarks to use. This one uses a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration (SAB). The stamp set is Adorable Owls. During SAB for every £45.00 of product, you purchase you can choose a freebie from the SAB catalogue. This is one of my favourites.

He has been coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, one of my favourite ways to colour. I’ve changed the way I colour in that I now go from dark to light instead of the reverse. I got the little magnetic strips online years ago. They are easy to find and quite cheap.

How to Make a Christmas Magnetic BookMark

How to Make a Christmas Magnetic BookMark – So Jolly – Colouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I always make myself a new bookmark for Christmas. This is what I came up with this year. I love this cute Father Christmas from the So Jolly set. He is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers and then fussy cut. He really pops against the background I think. I added some subtle shimmer sequins for some bling and voila, it’s’ done!!

Using the Party Puffins to Make a Fun Bookmark

Using the Party Puffins to Make a Fun Bookmark – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Yes, the Party Puffins are showing us their dance moves again. They are boogying for all they are worth here in this cute bookmark. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the ease of ebooks but nothing can replace a proper book. I will use my kindle when I go away and don’t want to carry a zillion books in my suitcase but at home, I prefer proper books. They are so much easy to cross-reference from book to book or page to page.

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark

How to Make a Hand Stamped Bookmark – Snowflake Christmas Bookmark – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

As you most probably already know I am in love with the Snowflake Splendour suite of products from Stampin’ Up! This bookmark features the Snowflake Splendour stamp set.

I have used it here to stamp my own patterned paper. The two colours I’ve used are Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I was going to add Pacific Point blue but I felt it was too much and the two tones of purple worked well alone. The purple tri-coloured ribbon just finishes it off perfectly.

Stamping a blank piece of cardstock is a great way to create your own bespoke patterned paper in just the colours and design you wish. Everytime I do this I am so pleased with the results and wonder why I didn’t do more sooner.

Pop of Petals Bookmark – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve not been feeling well this week so I wanted to make simple projects. I like how to this bookmark has turned out using the Pop of Petals stamp set.

I’ve used Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss. They are all from the same area of the colour wheel so match beautifully. The Pop of Petals stamp set a huge variety of flowers with of course the matching punch. I didn’t want any dimension as this is a bookmark so I just used the stamp set.

The tiny flowers you can see above actually come as a trio of stamps joined together but I wanted to use them separately. Therefore, I cut them. Shock and horror you may think but it doesn’t damage the stamps and you can see stamp them altogether if you so wish.

measurements

Blackberry Bliss – 7 1/2″ X 3 1/2″
Whisper White – 7″ X 3″

I love stamping to make my own patterned paper. You can totally customise it to your own tastes rather than being constrained by other’s taste.

Birds of A Feather – Magnetic Bookmark

I have a great little project to share with you today. This is a magnetic bookmark using the fun and cheerful Birds of a Feather stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. If you haven’t seen this stamp set, you really must take a peek. It is fun without being tacky or rude.

I love this little chick. He is cute and dinky. I’ve coloured him in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. It’s really simple colouring to give a great effect. I’ve stamped the chick on whisper white and then fussy cut him out so that you won’t see any of the bleed-through from the markers. I used a small pair of magnetic sheets that I got online for the magnetic closure.

If you know anyone like me who is in love with books, then this would be a great little stocking stuffer. You could also add it as an extra handmade surprise if you are giving them a special book.

I’ve done two versions of this bookmark, one with rounded edge and one without. Which do you like best? Let me know below.
