It's a Card....It's a Bookmark!!

Tutorial Wednesday
at Bugaboo Stamps

I learned this little trick several years ago.  I made my own quick tutorial to share with you. Being a crafter, I assure you that you have everything that is needed to make this card/bookmark. After the recipient has read your card, they can gently tear off the attached bookmark and have a little keepsake.


Step 1:
Cut your cardstock 5 1/2" x 11"
Step 2.
Score paper at 4 1/4"
 Step 3.
Now score at 8 1/2"
 Step 4.
Using perforation tool, go down the 8 1/2" scoring line you just made.  NOTE:  You can use a piercing tool and punch holes down the 8 !/2" scoring line OR using a Xacto blade, make tiny slices off and on down the 8 1/2" scoring line)  
Step 5.
After perforating, fold with bone and put a good crease in it.  Fold it backwards and forward again, so it will be a little easier to tear/pull off.
 Step 6.
Make a nice, clean crease at the 4 1/4" score line.
 Step 7.
I tape or staple my ribbon to bookmark/tag area first, then tape my layers.
THAT'S IT!!! Put whatever you want on the front.  Fits into A2 size envelope. 

Tools and supplies needed....
11x 5 1/2" cardstock
Perforating tool (cuttlebug makes one, a piercing tool, or xacto knife)
Scoring tool (Scor-Pal, Martha Stewart scorer, your cutting tool may have a scoring area)
Bone (or way to make clean, crisp crease)
Your imagination for the front and bookmark area
