Creating a Corner Bookmark:
This is a cute project! I used the olivia paper pack and A Sip stamp set. But it will work with whatever you have.
You will need :   Note: Colors I used are in ( ).
4 x 4 cardstock (barn red)
2 3/4 x 2 3/4 B&T Duo (smoothie polk a dot)
2 1/4 x 2 1/4 (barn red)
2 x 2 (col white)
1 1/2 x 3 3/4 B&T duo (multi color print)
scraps of col white for stamping/embossing. Inks: Barn red, Smoothie, and Versa Mark.. Clear & Gold embossing powder. Chocolate Chalk

On the 4 x 4 base, mark with a pencil, on each of three sides the 2 inch point.

Line up two of the marks on your paper scoring and score, then repeat for the other two marks.

Fold corners down.

Note: I added Barn Red ink to all the edges.
Line up your 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 B&T paper in the paper cutter and cut in half. (I used white in the photo because it showed up better in the picture)

Now the fun part! With the flaps to the BACK,  use glue or tape to attached one of the triangles you just made to the boolmark, and attach the 1 1/2 x 3 3/4 B&T duo below it, as shown below. (I inked the edges of the B&T paper with Barn Red also)
 Now to stamp!!  Stamped the "aroma" in versa mark and emboss with clear powder, add "Time for Coffee" in Barn Red, then use cotton to chalk the embossed area to give it depth. Stamp the coffee cup in Smoothie on a scrap paper and cut out. For the spoon, stamp in versa mark & use gold powder to emboss, then cut out. Attach the the stamped 2 x 2 piece to the 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 piece and attach to the card as shown.
Flip the card over and folding down the corners and add double sided tape acoss the top, add the other triangle as shown below
Flip the card over and add the accents. I used foam tape to secure the coffee cup and add dimension. The bow and spoon were attached using the new small glue dots. And your done! Cute!

Back County Card

I love this card! It was quick and easy, using papers from the "Back Country" paper pack, stamps from "Lets Go Camping" & " Backwoods" stamp sets. Fun and simple!
