Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper meets Bookmark INSIDE a Card

Introducing my newest tutorial to create a card with a bookmark inside the card. This took me days to create and a large amount of cardstock and dsp was destroyed - big SIGH! There are many similar tutorials you can find, I reduced the bulk for this card and created two bookmark options. This tutorial always making two card bases out of one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. Included is a picture on how to cut the 6" x 6" DSP. Don't waste your gorgeous cardstock, save the stress and purchase all the measurements and instructions from me.

Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Papers meets CraftsByBeth Bookmark in a Card

I couldn't think of the perfect card layout to begin using Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. While straightening my mess, I found the perfect card; my Bookmark in a Card. This card and bookmark uses only one piece of 6" x 6" with special planning. My tutorial gives you a visual way of making it fit any of your DSP. Sometimes we aren't able to stamp on the DSP because of the dark background, you'll find that information in my tutorial.
