Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop 2

Here is my next blog post for the 

Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop.

You can link your card to the hop too.

You find all the details here.

Today not a card to share,

but a bookmark,because

I love reading and especially when the weather

is nice and I can sit with my coffee and a book

in the garden. After my vacation to Italy I am reading:

The House by the Sea by Santa Montefiore.

I made two bookmarks, one for me,one to give away!

Solet me know which one you would like!

For some directions:

the bookmark is 2 x 6 inch.

This scalloped tag topper is perfect for a bookbark.

This way you have a great top and a hole for a ribbon.

Take some book paper and a glue stick.

Tear the paper into fun pieces.

Glue the pieces op bookpaper

onto the bookmark.

Decorate the bookmark with a stencil of your choice.

this is how it looks after using one stencil.

And I used another coffee stain stencil.

Both stencils are by Tim Holtz.

Now it is time for stamping.

The stampset i used is the Coffee Stamp Set

by Michael Strong.

For the background I stamped with the

coffee steam stamp.

Then i used only half of this sentiment stamp

(from my stash)

On the other bookmark,I stamped some SU! coffee beans and 

a Club Scrap sentiment from the kit Brewed Awakenings 2012

Now  stamp and emboss the smallest of the coffee stamp

fromthe Michael Strong set. And then cut them out

with scissors and glue them to the bookmarks.

So this is the finished bookmark

with the hearts

and here is the finished bookmark with the

Club Scrap sentiment.

I think I go back to finish my book!

Hope to see you again tomorrow.

Have a creative day,
