Luncheon Party Favors - Bookmark

I have been busy designing party favors for this year's United Methodist Women December Luncheon.  I had two ladies request bookmarks as their party favors.

Stampin' Up! Products

• Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White cardstock
• Snow Swirled Stamp Set
• Riding Hood Red ink
• Multipurpose liquid glue
• Glue Dots
• 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and Circle Scallop punches

Other Products

• 8mm magnets

This bookmark is unique as it can be inserted in the book under the last line you read.  Saves you from reading the same paragraphs twice.

Hiding the magnets

• Apply a glue dot to one magnet and place it on the inside of the bookmark, in the center of the scallop. 
• Attached another magnet to the magnet already in place
• Apply a glue dot to magnet and close the bookmark
• Open bookmark carefully
• Apply liquid glue on a scallop circle punchout and secure to the inside of the bookmark, hiding the bookmark - this prevents the magnets from damaging the pages of a book

To cut a folded bookmark

• Start with a piece of cardstock 9" x 2 1/4"  ( this is a very tight fit - you may want to start with a wider piece of cardstock)
• Score in half (4 1/2")
• Place folded bookmark on die as indicated in the picture
• Helpful hint - I placed a repositional tab in the center of the scallop on the die, this helps hold the cardstock secure as you run it through the Big Shot.

It's Not Just a Card - It's a Bookmark

A few years ago, I saw a deal on 8mm magnets and thought I would just get them because I am sure I could find a use.

This isn't only a card, it is a bookmark too!

The magnets are very strong and only 8mm.  I take two magnets and leave them together.  I attach a glue dot to one magnet and place it on the inside of the bookmark.  I then attach a glue dot to the exposed magnet and close the bookmark.  Carefully open up the bookmark to expose magnets.  Apply Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to a Scallop Circle punch outs and cover exposed magnets.  I would highly recommend using the liquid glue for this step of the project - your typical adhesive runner will not hold up.
