Bookmarks with Recycled Paper and Miss Kate Cuttables

Miss Kate Cuttables has done it again!! Another great paper pack out with Spring in mind!! I love these packs.

If you are going by Miss Kate Cuttables website to check out all the new items don't forget to pick up a Freebie!!

I am an avid reader. I love PAPER BACK BOOKS. I do the digital thing once in a while but I love paper!! So, I am always in need of bookmarks. I hate to bend my paper pages into "dog ears" to make my pages so I turn to my bookmarks. I have many books going at once. I like to leave them in places to make it convenient to read. I have one next to my bed, upstairs, one in my craft room, one in my family room and yes, one in the bathroom!!

I was thinking of what to make my next batch of markers with and there it was!! The new Miss Kate Cuttables Spring pack with the front page SCREAMING BOOK MARKS!!  So I took up the challenge.

Just take the display page you usually discard and cut along all the lines. It is that easy!! I then matched up my favorite papers together and taped them back to back.

Then I ran them though my laminating machine. If you don't have a laminating machine you can use contact paper and sandwich them between the contact paper and trim out.

When I was finished trimming them I used a hole punch to punch holes at the top and then strung ribbon through them. (You can also use the fancy tousle things but I only had one.) I also used a corner rounder on the edges so they don't poke me. The plastic is sharp when you leave the corners at 90 degree angles.

This is a great way to save your fun Miss Kate Paper for other projects but still get a large assortment of bookmarks for your reading place holders!! Enjoy!!

Before we get into the directions don't forget to pick up today's FREEBIE over at Miss Kate Cuttables!! 

I used a die for my card but you can cut the same card using THESE directions. I used some matching cardstock to make my base and then used the decorative paper from my paper pack to decorate my card. The fun part is using the paper dies provided to decorate my card!! So much to chose from. I used some dimensional foam pads to pop up some of my decorative elements too!!

That's it! I hope you like the card and stay tuned for more fun projects from this Easter Paper Pack!

Today I have a special treat, I have a bonus project for you!! This is a swing card using the same Eater Paper Pack!!

I used the same paper pack as I stated above from Miss Kate Cuttables but changed out the card base for a swing card. I love to make cards using paper packs because they are fast, easy and most of all beautiful!! You can find the card directions HERE. 

I love this card and best of all, I can use it for a birthday, thinking of you, just because or any occasion since flowers are pretty universal.  I still have tons more paper and die cuts to make more!!
