I can't tell you how much of an accident this card is! I started trying to make a book mark. Then, I decided, wouldn't it be cool to, instead of just a book mark, make it magnetic so it just hugged the page? Then, after I did that, I thought, "Wow, this little heart would be cute just on the front of the card like this... and... by accident the back part of the magnet stuck to the front and I said, "By George, I think we have a book mark card!" I can see making these in a variety of shapes with all kinds of fun colors and embellishments!
Here's the breakdown of how I made it.
I stacked the hearts from my Heart Nestabilities dies (both scalloped and classic)and embellished them with prima flowers and crystal rhinestones. I used that super tacky tape on the back and attached my ribbon. Then on top of that, I used a circle punch to punch out my magnets from a magnetic sheet. I attached the magnets to my ribbon with the same super tacky tape.
Attach your bookmark to a card front to give as a fun gift....then let it have it's home on the pages of a book later!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for the info on classes. I will try to make it to one of them!! I would really like to make it to the one on the 19th but that is my DH 55th birthday, so I guess I had better spend the time with the "old man"! LOL

Hi, you're always surprised me with your own creation / style to the cards !
Crikey, you've been busy while I've been away!! Love this idea, fantastic, as is the birdie heart too. My favourite is the leaf one a few posts back, just gorgeous!
I'm going to have to save up my pennies and get those Nestabilties if you keep making all these fantastic cards and projects with them...
