Punch challenge card w/bookmarks

This card is for a challenge on one of my groups. The challenge was to use the new punches or brass templates. I am sending this to SU for the jumbo eyelet/wow contest. Wish me luck I have never sent anything to them before.


Man what fun I had with this card. It started out in my head as a tent topper card. I started with a 9 and 1/2 by 4 and 1/4 piece of really rust. I scored at 4 and 1/4 and then at 8 and 1/2 to make it a matchbook fold. Next I trimmed the sides on a slight angle and sponged on really rust ink to make it look like a planter pot. I added a piece of the new ribbon from the Fairy Tale collection across the top just to add a little texture. I punched three scallop circles in bashful blue and cut on the scallops to make flowers. Added a circle of So Saffron and topped with a clear button with natural twine. The leaves are the small oval punch and sage shadow card stock. I attached the flowers and leaves to a square of sage shadow and then added the entire thing as my topper.




Now for the fun part. I made these little bookmarks to put inside. The recipient can just tear them out and use them since I perforated them with the cutter kit.


This is what they look like when in use. I had to make them a little small to fit in the card but they work. The jumbo eyelet is what stops the paper from coming apart and holds the whole thing together. I have also posted a tutorial for the bookmarks.
