From the Keepsake Drawer–Create a Lovely Inspirational Bookmark

A little gift from me to you…

This pretty bookmark design was inspired by my reflection, As October Lingers. It can be downloaded from the free member-only subscriber library.  Simply download the PDF, print, and trim.

“Trust that every ending opens an opportunity for something beautifully new”

Materials:

• Home Printer (I use the Inkjet Canon TS9521)
• Linen Cardstock (use 65lb or higher)
• Scissors / Guillotine Paper Cutter or Sliding Paper Cutter
• Hole Punch
• Ribbon (I used 3/8″ dusty rose velvet ribbon)
• Laminate Sheets (optional)

Instructions:

1. Download the bookmark PDF (located in the subscriber library).
2. Print (for best results, use 65 – 100 lb. linen cardstock and high color setting on your inkjet printer).
3. Laminate the printed sheet (Skip this step if you prefer it unlaminated, as shown here. Personally, I prefer it without laminate because showcases the linen texture of the paper. Using a heavyweight cardstock works well).
4. Trim the bookmark as desired (I like leaving a small white boarder all around).
5. Punch a hole at the top.
6. Insert ribbon and tie leaving the tails at your desired length.

I hope you enjoy today’s small gift and find the sentiment a blessing.
