Pom Pom Christmas Bookmark Card

Christmas creating is in full swing, friends!!!

 

Papertrey Ink is in the middle of a release, and I'm participating in 

 

their 

 

Create Along With Us: September 2018.

 

What's nice, is you can use what you already have, and be inspired by the team's use of new products.

 

Melissa Phillips' lovely Day 2 Creation of muted sprigs and leaves 

 

had me reach for the Spruce & Sprigs set I own.

 

 Like her creation, I kept the colors understated and let the branches play a big role (vs flowers).

 

 

I also added a fabric element~which are a huge part of Melissa's designs.

 

I went with a fun pom topped bookmark card. 

 

That glittery goodness is a strip of washi I added and ran through the die again for a clean cut.

Poms are my newest obsession btw. ;)

 

Melissa almost always adds lovely bows, so when you flip this bookmark, it is tied with a neat little bow (glued down so it won't slip through).

 

 When the bookmark is removed, there's still an image there so the recipient can keep their card.

I usually incorporate a bookmark slot, but this time I clipped it to a strip of patterned paper.

Before securing the strip, I placed the tiny clothespin where I wanted it and distributed my score tape accordingly.

Oh I'm sooo making more of these (it's the perfect excuse for all the yarn I want to buy :)).

Thanks for stopping by~
