I'm back with my last post as a GD for Lili of the Valley this month :)

I've even made a small tutorial on how to make these book marks, so I hope you'll enjoy that!

How to make a Corner Book Mark

♥ Cut Cardstock in to size 5" x 6"
♥ Find the middle of the top side messuring 6", fold in the corners.

***

Cut a panel out of DP for the front in size 4 13/16" x 5 13/16". Cut off the corners to match the grade on the Book Mark in cardstock.

***

Cut 2 panels out of DP's to the back side of the Book Mark, 1 in size 1 7/8" x 5 7/8", and 1 in size 4" x 4". Cut the square diagonally (makes 2 triangles), and use just the one triangle on the top of the back.

***

Glue the one piece of DP's on to the front of the cardstock...

***

... and the 2 pieces to the back.

***

Find/cut out bits and bobs to add to the front...

...and to the back.

♥ Then you're ready to embellish your Corner Book Mark as you wish.

thank you so much to all of you, for supporting my GD posts at Lili of the Valley this month!
This will probably be my last LOTV post for a while ;(
I'm starting my 8 weeks of practice in Trysil next week, and along with loads of school work, and an exam coming up as well, there's not gonna be much time left for crafting for a while, I think ;(
But - I'll still be creating and blogging as often as I can :)

BIG hugs, Lena Katrine
