Today I rediscovered something about myself that I've forgotten. You might feel this way, too. I make cards because #1, first and foremost, I love to play with paper! The #2 reason I make cards is because they're thoughtful and wonderful extensions of myself that I hope will brighten someone's day.
I think these fit both bills...
I came across a link on
Tip Junkie's blog, and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the first bookmark. I had to try
Sandy's Kusudama fold right away.
Here was my first one...
Then I couldn't stop! I had to try it with
all of my new papers!
Different trims for each one...buttons, punches, bling...
And just like that, I have a beautiful half dozen Christmas or birthday gifts, ready to pair with a good book. Fun! Give it a try.
Have a blessed & creative day! Erika. www.erikaclark.stampinup.net

They look absolutely beautiful and each one a unique bookmark. I'm so happy that you tried kusudama flower folding and enjoyed working with the technique
ReplyDeleteHi Erica,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I found you. I wanted to make some of these corner bookmarks so I did a Google search and it led me here. I am loving what I see... I just had to become a follower and sign up for your Feedburner email.
I'll be back for another visit soon! :)
