Yep.  You read that right.  Regular heavy-duty household aluminum, glued to card stock for strength, and run through the Big Shot in an embossing folder.  We did the flip flop by getting fancy with the cutting plates on the Big Shot.  Sounds harder than it really was.  Try it!

I think I should have put this book mark on a plain covered book so you could see how pretty the book mark is.  The book mark itself is a ribbon that wraps around the page you’re on and to the front of the book.  An elastic hair band holds it snug with the help of a button.  We embellished it with clustered flowers.
It was so pretty I was tempted to leave my Kindle App and go back to cellulose books!

I saw this card at a regional convention and had to try it.  Score across the Scallop Square at matching scallops, a couple of snips and a bit of tape and you have a cute little box.  Then of course we made the mini cards to go inside.  The Diagonal Plate on the Simply Scored made it easy to make the matching envelopes.  Great for a hostess gift.

A few folds in an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper and one cut gives you 2 diagonal pockets that can open for an inside greeting too. We embellished a card for the back pocket and put a gift card in the front one.  Add a bit of embellishment and you’re done!

I should have named this A Card full of Cherries!  Cherry Cobbler card stock, and an image of cherries from Mouthwatering.  What you can’t see is that the cherries were embossed with cherry scented embossing powder.  I love the way velum looks when embossed.
