Voucher with bookmark
Instructions No. 2993Dive into the world of DIY bookmarks and let your creativity run wild! With a little kraft cardboard, inspiring stamps and a pinch of napkin technique, you can design unique bookmarks that not only decorate your books but also reflect your personality. We'll also show you how you can easily design your own gift card.
Transparent bookmark
For the first bookmark, you can cut a rectangle of pinwheel foil measuring 17 x 6 cm. Cut one end of this rectangle into a flat pennant. Write a message in your favourite font on a piece of paper or print it out from your PC as a template in your favourite font. Place this template under the pinwheel foil and trace the lettering with a fine permanent marker, punching a hole in the centre of the straight short side, approx. 0.5 cm from the edge.Pull an anchor chain through this hole, attach a ring to the back end to fix the chain to the bookmark and a tassel with an eyelet to the other end.
White bookmark
The decorative bookmarks made from the white paper are designed using the napkin technique up to about halfway and decorated with a decorative stamp on the remaining white background.First cut the napkins so that they fit on the bookmarks and separate the layers from the napkin so that you only have the top printed layer in front of you, then coat the bookmarks with napkin varnish and place the motifs on each one. Then apply another layer of napkin varnish and leave to dry.
Now you can personalise your bookmarks even further by decorating them with stamps. To do this, remove the Clear Stamps you want from the backing film and position the one you want to use on the acrylic block. Then colour the stamp with the ink pads and stamp as you wish.
Now cut kraft cardboard measuring 17 x 6 cm for the designed bookmark and the photo cardboard designed with the napkins to a slightly smaller size of approx. 16 x 5.5 cm. take the kraft cardboard and punch a hole in the centre of one short side, cut the other short side into a decorative pennant.
Attach an anchor chain with a tassel in the hole as you did with the transparent bookmark, position the white paper on the kraft cardboard so that it is exactly in the centre and cut the pennant shape into the white paper to match the kraft cardboard. It can be easily attached to the kraft cardboard with the help of double-sided adhesive tape.
Voucher
For the voucher, simply cut coloured paper to the size of 20 x 9 cm and place the "voucher" stamp.Gift wrappings
Simply cut a piece of kraft paper measuring approx. 20 x 8 cm for the transparent bookmark. Draw two parallel guide lines on the kraft paper with a pencil, each approx. 9.5 cm from the short edges and approx. 0.5 cm from the long edge. Make two slits here with the scalpel and pull the bookmark through them.You can make a kraft cardboard case for the voucher and the white bookmark. Cut a piece of kraft paper measuring approx. 20 x 20 cm. Fold it in the centre and make two parallel slits on both sides approx. 1 cm from the outer edge and approx. 0.5 cm from the fold. Plug the voucher into one side and the bookmark into the other.
Drill a hole in the centre of the outer edge. The case can later be tied together with a ribbon through this hole. Cut another piece of white coloured paper for the front of this case and label it as you wish (here: for you). Finally, you can decorate everything even more by cutting the corners of your bookmarks and the gift box round.
