Hand Picked For You

Hi, everyone! It's Nancy here with you today.

Today I am actually sharing two projects.
I've created a card and a bookmark.
These projects coordinate, and would make a lovely set!
Add a book and you'd have a wonderful gift set!
They were created using:

Fruit Stand Digital Stamp Set and

Fruit Stand Paper Pack and Tall Tags.

Here they are together:

Let's start with the card:

I began with a white cardstock card base.

Then added one of the digital papers for the background.

I then went into the files and added the "Hello Sweet Friend" sentiment to the sign board.

I chose all the flowers I wanted, in the sizes I wanted,

and then printed everything out.

Then I cut everything out.

I inked all the edges, curled the flower petals,

and layered them in place using foam tape.

Finally, I added some Gold Liquid Pearls to the center of the flowers.

Now for the bookmark:

I recently purchased a Laminator, 

so I've got my eyes open for ways to use it.

The fun in buying new toys is finding ways to use them, right?

I printed the Tall Tag out, and cut it out.

I printed out another piece of the same paper that I used on the card.

I traced around the tag, and cut it out.

I adhered the two pieces together, and punched the hole out.

Then I ran it through my Laminator.

It did a fabulous job!

I added a ribbon to the top of the tag.

Now the tall tag is a long lasting bookmark! 

I think the "Hand Picked For You" 

is a great sentiment for a bookmark

if it's included with a gift of a book, don't you? 

Isn't that a pretty set?
