Heya friends! How are you today? One of the best things to do on a "BLAH" kind of day, is read a book. But I never get the ability to sit and read uninterrupted from start to finish. LOL! OH TO DREAM! So I need bookmarks! And, I happen to think bookmarks make terrific gifts too. hehe.
With that being said, today is a bookmark kind of day! I thought I'd share a super cute and fun way to make a bookmark that uses one 6"x6" piece of Designer Series Paper, and a few scraps of cardstock.
Origami (Paper Folding) has been around for centuries. And, I remember making these bookmarks (and paper football notes, lol) in high school. Not that High School was centuries ago! LOL. That's not what I mean! I hated to dog ear my book pages, so this was a quick and easy alternative! Generally, they were made from a sheet of notebook paper or a brown paper bag (remember those?!) and would have little I (HEART) whoever my latest boyfriend was. lol. HA! Maybe I need to make like that now with Tinker Tom's name on it. He'd get a kick outta that! hehe.

Ok, nostalgia aside! Let's get to it!
For my Sweet Strawberry Bookmark, I used a 6"x6" piece of Berry Delightful DSP. This is FREE with a qualifying Sale-a-Bration purchase through the end of February. It comes with an adorable Stamp Set called Berry Blessings too! I chose to use the Sweet Strawberry Stamp & Punch Bundle for my bookmark though. I just love the Strawberry Builder punch! Both stamp sets & punch & DSP all coordinate really well together.
Cute right?
Alright, so first we need to start with a piece of 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. You'll want the side that you want showing, to face down. Fold one corner up to the other corner to create a triangle. Use your bone folder to get a nice crisp crease on each of the folds we make.
These are a lot of fun and super simple to make! You could make one for each of your books! How fun would it be to create each one to coordinate with the story in the book? EEEEEEEP!!! So cute!
