Orchid Bookmark by Diane Morales

Mark Your Spot with a Beautiful Bookmark!

If you know someone who loves to read, brighten their day by creating them a bookmark! 

Diane has created a beautiful floral bookmark that is sure to inspire!

She started out by coloring the gorgeous blooms from our Orchids Stamp Set. Orchids come in so many fun color combinations so it's fun to pick your favorite. Diane chose white orchids with pink centers. So pretty! 

She cut the bookmark out using our Bookmark II Die Set from blue paper and then stamped more orchids in the background with blue ink. The tone on tone effect is beautiful! 

Last, she added the sentiment in upper left corner of the bookmark and a bit of string to stick out of the book and help hold your place. 

This bookmark would be a great gift for a book lover, especially when paired with the gift of a book or a gift card to a bookstore! 

Hope you enjoyed our inspiration today! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project.

Thank You Card by Donna Idlet

Beautiful Floral Thank You

Today Donna is sharing a lovely thank you card featuring our Chrysanthemum Stamp Set.

The bundle of blooms from the Chrysanthemum Stamp Set becomes the focal point of this beautiful card. Donna layered the blooms over an oval that was cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. She also added a bit of light blue ink the the center of the oval, giving the flower a nice soft background. 

For the orange polka dotted card base she used paper from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad. She used the same paper pad with our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out a banner from yellow plaid. This cute banner is the perfect place to hold the thank you sentiment, tucked behind the oval and flowers.
