Sunflower Bookmark…
Happy sunshiney Monday! Looks like it is going to be another torturous hot day here in North Texas. I just have to remember that we CHOSE to move here…LOL! Ellie starts swim lessons today and she is pretty excited!…me too!
Today I have a sweet and simple project to show you. It’s very easy to make and any recipient surely would love it. I started by making a book with a base and then layered it with the blue stamped panel and topped it with the punched yellow panel. I stitched around the edges leaving the backstitching at the top. This is where I put a {more than} half circle over the backstitching and punched a hole to thread the ribbon through.
This stamped sentiment is from the new Taylored Expressions set, Faith and Hope…
To dress this up a little, I used my Cuttlebug dies and created sunflowers to dangle from the ribbon ends…
To create these flowers, I die cut 2 flowers {for each of the flowers}, hot glued the ribbon in the middle. I used hot glue because I know that it won’t come undone and it gave a little dimension that I was looking for. I then glued the second flower on top and hot glued the button on top of that. I really wanted to put a flower on the bookmark, but those flowers cry out for dimension; however, bookmarks do not!
Have a great Monday! See ya manana!
Don’t you just love that punch?!? This is so sweet.
Such a beautiful bookmark!! I love the dangle sunflowers.
why am i finding it sarcastically funny that you made a bookmark using a helen keller quote? giggle!! it’s really cool, though! is that your new flower die?? yummy!
Wow - this is adorable! I adore sunflowers AND Helen Keller. What a great combination!

This is a great bookmark!!
Will be doing it - love the flowers on the ribbon.
What punch did you use? It is very nice.
Is it from Taylor’s store/site?
OOOOOHHHH I like this. I have all the tools and can’t wait to try it myself. Bookmarks are a great idea - so many friends love to read each day. Thanks for the great gift idea.
Love this idea, and those flowers are so cool!
