Another For The Books

 Hi again, I’m sharing another from For The Books set (SU)

Along with a Lavinia cat stamp called Mimsy.

This time I made a pocket on the front for the bookmark.

You can see the ribbon attached, poking out above on the right.

I left the card front black and white, but coloured the bookmark.

I also decorated the inside and the envelope.

I’m entering the Allsorts Challenge #814

“matching pairs”

Take care and see you soon

For the books

 Brrrrrrrr it’s cold outside, but not as cold as some parts.

It’s a bit brighter, which is a good thing.

I treated myself to a new Stampin’ Up! set called For The Books.

The dies are completely different to the stamps, which I think works well in this case.

There’s a die that looks like a comb, which makes the little tassel!

On my card I used the teeny bookmark die to go “inside” the book.

My inspiration was from “Cards by Juliet”, who made a bookmark with a card.

I used the dies to make a book with, then made a bookmark, 

and stamped books on shelves, made with a blend pen.

A made an embossed pocket and attached a ribbon to the bookmark.

I dug out some really old cat sets, one is SU, You little furball, the other doesn’t even have its packaging.

I fussy cut the tiny cats on the card and bookmark.

Allsorts are having a matching pairs challenge #814.

So my card and bookmark qualify, but I also decorated the envelope, 

although I don’t expect extra marks 😂.

I’m also taking this to the Snippets Playground, where a birthday party is being held.

Here’s a pic of some of the snippets used.

Take care and see you soon
