Here’s are a couple of easy projects that perhaps you’d like to use for the holiday giving season and other gift giving occasions. The Corner Bookmark can be made in a snap and the marvelous Gift Card Holder is a quick and easy project. I have a feeling you will want to make many of each of these.
I featured the new Marbled Elegance Suite in this video. While it is perfect for the Valentine cards and projects, the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper and Hearts of Elegance Stamp Set and Dies are quite versatile. Think bridal shower, anniversary, cards of support, and simply to send loving thoughts to family and friends.
Now get ready. Enjoy this demonstration, then grab some pattern paper from your stash, coordinating card stock, and the stamp set and/or dies or punches to make some marvelous Bookmarks and Gift Card Holders of your own.
Dimensions for Corner Bookmark:
- DSP/Patterned Paper = 6″ x 3 1/2″
- With DSP in horizontal position, score in half at 3″
- Turn DSP to vertical position, Cut & score at 3″ as shown in video above.
Dimensions for Gift Card Holder:
- Card stock base = 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
- DSP 1 = 5 1/4″ x 4″
- DSP 2 = 12″ x 3″, score at 4″ from each end
- Card stock layer = 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
- Card stock layer = 4 3/8″ x 3 3/8″
- Basic White for inside gift card holder = 3 3/4″ x 2 3/4″

I love making and giving fun Gift Card Holders for lots of occasions, and the one demonstrated in this video is one of my favorites. I love the many layers used making it even more amazing. And the Corner Bookmark is so easy and can be made in just minutes. It’s great to make and use for yourself or give to others. Book lovers will LOVE receiving a handmade Bookmark. Or if you’re giving a book for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions, why not insert a handmade Corner Bookmark in the book.
Remember handmade cards and gifts are expressions of love. I like to think Handmade = Love.
Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
