Make it Monday: All Booked Up Birthday




This week's Make-it Monday #47:  2011 A La Carte provides a summary of all the Make-it Monday videos and techniques of the past year.  I am playing along, trying to get to some of the ones I may have missed.  Today, I have a card for MIM #3:  Glitter Strips with Scor Tape.  I am using the color scheme of this week's cQc #118.  I was inspired by the PTI Senior Design team revisit of All Booked Up to make a card and matching bookmark for a friend from my book club whose birthday is next week.


This was the first time I inked up Dot Spot.  I don't know why I waited so long.  This set will definitely get more use in the future.

Here are a couple of the bookmarks I made using this color scheme.  I liked the one that emphasized the red the best, so I made the card to coordinate with that one.



Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  All Booked Up, Dot Spot, Verve Circular Sayings 
Paper:  White, Pure Poppy
Other:  Bookmark Die, Scor Tape, MS Glitter, Misc Ribbons


Thanks for Visiting

  4. Love the card. Those 2 bookmarks are striking too with the colors you used. You were really inspired today by many things. Seems like the stamp set always revisited by the DT is one I don't own. Hehe.

  5. These are all beautiful Joyce! I love this design, it's simple yet elegant, and I love the bookmark shape.
    You're so lucky to have sunshine, it's been gale force winds here and rain, very cold and unpleasant, roll on spring!

  9. Fabulous card--the glitter strip is a fantastic accent! And I LOVE your bookmarks! Great idea to use the book at the bottom. I hadn't thought of that so will need to CASE you! I definitely want to do more bookmarks this year. They make such great additions to cards.

  11. Love it all! My favorite thing about the card if the glitter stipes on the side, just seems to set the card off. So beautiful and the bookmarks, very sweet!
