Ribbon bookmark and tin

I CASEd this idea from Terry Earhart (her blog, http://www.stampinandstylin.blogspot.com/ ) .
She brought it to Nancy's last demo meeting and I thought it was such a great idea.
She made hers with Tea Party DP and Sweet Stems. What I love about this is that you can leave some of the circles blank (as I have done on the back but didn't think to take a picture of) and add punched photos instead of stamps. I think I will make one for my mum for her birthday and have a picture of each of her 4 grandchildren.

Tins were bought from Target (favor tins) and most other supplies are Stampin' Up!

Stamp sets - Darling Dots (Hostess level 1 SS09)

Cardstock & DP - Sweet Slumber DSP, So Saffron, Baja Breeze, Whisper White

Inks - Ruby Red, Baja Breeze

Accessories (SU!) - So Saffron ribbon (SAB 09), Big Shot Flowers #3 die, Ribbon slider from Hodgepodge Hardware (styled silver).

Accessories (non-SU!) - Scallop circle nestie (around 1.75 inches), Plain circle nestie (around 1.25 inches), circle punch (1 inch and 0.75 inch - marvy), light blue ribbon.

The bookmark then folds over (concertina-style) and fits in the little tin. Very quick to make and can be adapted to any style and color scheme.

Color overload!

I think I may have mentioned before that I am not all that keen on the Bold Brights colors. In fact, until I became a demo and received a package of the Bold Brights cardstock in my starter kit, the only BB color I owned was Real Red. So, today I decided to be brave and break out some new colors. So, hold on to your seats, here comes lots of color!!!


I have to say that this is the first time I have made a card with the Cheers to You set that I actually like. Hmmmm...... maybe I will have to become a BB convert.....
