My brother in law's birthday is this week. As well as a card I wanted to add a little gift in with it. We are taking him and my sister for a weekend away, instead of gifts this year, but I wanted to give a little something as you do. He reads voraciously and I thought bookmark. So I set about looking for something a little different. After reading a few posts on Pinterest I decided a magnetic one. I took some mottled card stock 300gsm ( folded in half) and the two tags bigz die by stamping up and Sizzix. I cut the stitched "frilly" edged one leaving a gap at the top so that it wouldn't cut the tag at the top and extend it so I had a back and front.
I then took some adhesive magnetic tape (a and b) and cut a little strip of each. I stuck one bit on the front and then placed the other bit onto it as if the bookmark was already closed. I then removed the protective film from that piece and pressed the top of the card over that. I then set about decorating the tag. I used Sizzix under the sea set ( the turtle and the crab, along with the bubbles) finished bookmark in the pictures below.
