Bird of a Feather



What a morning!
The ladies had a wonderful time making this Bookmark Card and Decorative Box in the workshop.The delightful toppers,bookmarks and background card compliment each other beautifully.





The card is A5 with two background layers in Gold Mirri and Blue Feather card.The front pocket which houses the Bookmark is made from cardstock  11.5cm x 20cm. Take the piece of cardstock (portrait) mark top and bottom 1cm and 1.5cm in from outside edge,score these 4 lines.Turn the cardstock 90 degrees and mark top and bottom 1cm and 1.5cm in from one end only,score both lines.This should give you 6 score lines.Cut off corners,fold score lines to create pocket.You can leave the pocket as it is and decorate or you can measure and cut an aperture from the middle.The size of aperture shown is 5.5cm x 15.5cm which allow the bookmark to show through.Secure to the front of the card by gluing the flaps at the back of the pocket.


The Bookmark measurements are 8cm x 18.5cm , 7.5cm x 18cm ,7cm x 17.5cm and then the Bookmark topper is adhered on top.Punch a hole in the centre at the top and thread ribbon through.


What a lovely box to keep your card in.
