Make It Monday Layered Embossing



A quick project for Make It Monday

Make It Monday #101: Layered Embossing
by  Heather


Good morning! I finally bought this bookmark after seeing all the amazing bookmarks Joyce: Cards-by-the-Sea has been making. You enabler you!

 My daughter thought it would be fun for her girls to decorate and give bookmarks out for St. Valentine's Day. I offered to cut them out for her. As I was cutting 50 I thought I would take a break and make one for myself. So I layered the heat embossing like Heather showed in her MIM video. As you can see I first embossed it with the PTI woodgrain, then cut out small heart from PTI heart trio 
The stamped images are from Framed Out #11. Everything used in this tag is from Papertrey Ink.

I will be giving the girls blank bookmarks and they will add ribbon and whatever they decide. I even have clear bookmark sleeves to give them .50% Off Clear Envelopes at Serendipity Stamps right now.

    Marybeth your bookmark is beautiful, I just love the pink. Your granddaughters are going to have such fun making bookmarks for their friends. That was a lot of die cutting, a labour of love!

    Marybeth, just darling take on the challenge. 50 is a lot of die cutting, but your girls and their friends will love decorating them.
