CookBookmarks

Hello! Liza back with the September Clear Scraps Creating Made Easy Kit.

Included in the kit is the Acrylic Recipe Album. I deconstructed this album into acrylic bookmarks for a cookbook! I am marking some of my family's favorite dishes in a cookbook and gifting it to a friend for a housewarming. Everything I used is included in the September kit except the ink, ribbon and adhesive from my own supplies.

I inked the edges of the acrylic word "RECIPE" to make it stand out. Then I cut 4x6" pieces from the paper included in the kit and ran them through a sticker maker. I also chose different elements from the paper with the vintage recipe card pattern and others. I ran those through the sticker maker, too, then layered them on back of the "RECIPE" and added a ribbon through the "R" and a paper flower. I also fussy cut around the edges of the word.

For the other 4x6 pieces I chose different patterns and ran them through the sticker maker before adhering them to the 4x6" acrylic pages. I layered both sides with collages of elements. I also added the paper flowers from the flower pack to some of the bookmarks. The flowers have paper centers punched out and glued, and I inked the petals. 

These bookmarks can be used over and over again and make great gift tags, too.

Here they are in use.

I hope you enjoyed this, and happy cooking! (And cooking up kit projects!)
