Last week at Oriental Stamp Art they challenged us to make a bookmark. I love to make bookmarks, they are useful and a great way to try out a new technique before committing it to a card or scrapbook page. I wanted to try something different for me so I made a corner bookmark. I used this corner accent stamp from Art Neko and it is on sale for $1.00 (regular $5) + .20 cents shipping! I love how fair their shipping is.
It is really simple. I realized if you wanted to make it even easier you can just stick a piece of scotch tape across the back to secure since no one really sees the paper inside you can line it with but, hey you are using up scraps so it really is up to you. Here is the video:
Here is a bookmark in action (action!?!) :
Try these in a variety of themes and colors, it will work with any corner stamp or just fold strips of magazine paper or other scraps. It’s all good. The kids will love to make these too!
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
I really like this idea . They are cool

And of course I’m looking to see what the book is. Are you actually that far into it, or was that for demo purposes? 🙂

Love the bookmark. I just bought a Nook Color so I am wondering if I could just stick a corner bookmark on my Nook Color, lol. I still have books.
I won’t hold it against you that you love teenager vampire novels. I used to edit them, lol. I love them too.
You have mad guillotine skills. I don’t own a guillotine cutter. I always admire everyone who is so amazing with them. My cat’s tails would be in the cutter or my fingers.
