I used the 4" jumbo clips from an office supply store and simply made flowers out of 10 scallop circles. I used the instructions posted onto Stampin' Connection by Carrie Dillard. All you do is punch the scallop circles out of cardstock (I used Whisper White). Outline the scallops with a marker color of your choice, then spritz with water and let the color bleed into the cardstock. After assembling the flower, I spritzed with shimmer mist. It made them very sparkly and really lovely. Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of all the bookmarks I made. It would have been nice. I made them in different colors to match the Beyond the Garden designer series paper: Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasabi. Then I made little holders for each bookmark. The base cardstock is 4 1/4" x 2 1/2. The DSP is 4 x 2 1/4. I used the word windo punch for an opening and then adhered the paper to the cardstock, then slid the bookmark in. Very simple & quick.
I am so glad you included the directions, Cathy! This will make a cute Show n Tell at my workshops next month! TFS!
