Created with our December 2009 Kit by Samantha Taylor.

1. You will need:

- 3 strips of 10 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ card stock (Used here: 1 Bazill Granny Smith, 2 Bazzill Cheddar)

-6 pieces of patterned paper cut 5″ x 1 1/4″ (Used here: 4 Piggy Tales 5 Little Ducks Mother Duck, 2 Piggy Tales 5 Little Ducks Play)

- Empty CD case (optional)

- 6 thin magnets cut about 1/2″ x 1/2″ (I used old freebie magnets, one from “Bob’s Auto Glass, Pizza Places, etc.)

- Assorted buttons, brads, or eyelets.

 

2. Fold card stock in half and adhere 1 piece of patterned paper to each out side of the card stock.

3. Attach magnets to the inside, close to the unfolded edge (Note: remember that magnets have polarity, so line up your magnets so they attract, rather than repel).

4. Embellish the non-magnet end with buttons, brads, or eyelets and ribbon.

 

 

This is a great fast gift. What’s unique about these book marks is that they are magnetic, so they not only hold your page, but also your place on the page. These can be given out individually or a packaged set of 3 in an empty CD case.

1. Cut 1 piece of Bazzill Ruby Slipper Vine Cardstock to 4×11 ½”.

2. Score at 3.5, 4, 7.5, and 8 inches.

3. Cut 7 Gypsies Barcelona Manresa paper to 2.75×4. You will need 2 of these.

4. Put the Manresa paper in your scorer the tall way and score at 2 1/2 and 2 1/4. Repeat for second piece of Manresa.

5. Put the Manresa paper in your scorer the long way and score at 1/4, 1/2, 3 1/2, and 4. Repeat for second piece of Manresa.

6. The scoring should make a pattern of 4 squares in both the bottom left and bottom right sides of the paper. Cut these squares out and discard.

 

7. With the polka dot side of the Manresa paper facing up, put adhesive on the farthest 1/4 of the paper on the left side, right side, and bottom.

8. Fold the score lined towards the inside (yellow lines), making a sort of box.

9 & 10. Attach 1 box (adhesive is already on the paper from step 7) to the middle section of the Ruby Slipper card stock, and 1 box to the far right section of the Ruby Slipper card stock. These now form your tea bag holders.

 

 

 

11. Cut 2 – 3 x 1/4 strips of 7 Gypsies Barcelona Manresa paper and attach to the top of the tea bag holders.

12. Cut 1 – 3 1/2 strip of Manresa paper and 1 – 3 1/2 x 3/4 strip of Core’dinations Black Magic Awake.

13. Use a Makins texture sheet to emboss the Awake card stock.

 

 

 

14. Sand the Awake card stock to reveal some of the core color.

15. Attach the Awake strip to the Manresa paper (stripe side up). Attach a Brass Photo Hanger to the paper strip with an eyelet.

16. Attach the paper strip to the front of the tea bag box (made from the Bazzill Ruby Slipper card stock).

17. Thread twine, string, ribbon, or thread (not kit items) through the Photo Hanger.

18 Cut 1 piece of 3 1/2 x 3/4 piece of Core’dinations Black Magic Awake. Cut 1 piece of 3 1/2 x 1/4 piece of 7 Gypsies Barcelona Manresa paper. Layer the Manresa paper, stripe side up, on top of the Awake card stock.

19. Attach this strip to the inside flap of the tea bag box.
