Magnetic Bookmarks

Last year I posted some magnetic bookmarks I made (you can view that post here)... I received some feedback that I needed some gender neutral and masculine ones also. So here they are:

To make these, you need the Two Tags Bigz Die and the 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch... if you want to add that extra layer. You also need some magnets. I used full magnet sheets, so my entire bookmark is backed in magnet, but you can opt to do a smaller magnet also. You can then decorate as desired, but don't make it too bulky or else your book won't close.

Until next time, stay crafty!

Mmmmm... Chocolate!

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you feel all sorts of love today from those around you...

I have some Valentine treats I created for members on my team, my loved ones and to hand out to random people today to bring them a little love too!

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Love Impressions DSP (retired)
Tools: Big Shot, Two Tags Bigz Die
Accessories: Heart Treat Cups (retired), Full Heart Punch,
Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Hershey Kisses & Mini M&M's

Aren't these sweet?! Simple to make too with the Two Tags Bigz Die. All you need are two tags and two pieces of matching card stock cut at 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" for the sides. I scored three sides of each piece at 1/2" and cut the "tabs" so that my little box had sides to keep the treats in. :)

Have you liked Hofkissed yet on Facebook?! My contest closes tonight at 9 p.m. I will draw the winner of an assortment of handcrafted cards tonight... just for a simple "like" &/or sharing my page! Click here to check it out and show me some love!

Until next time, stay crafty!

100 "Likes"!

 
My Facebook page reached 100 "likes" this morning... so I'm having a draw! If you don't "like" Hofkissed on Facebook yet, what are you waiting for?! Especially since there will be a draw today for Hofkissed Christmas merchandise (all handcrafted paper goods!).

www.facebook.com/hofkissed

Aside from that, I'll also share a project with you... perhaps one that will be given to the winner of my draw this afternoon (among other things)! Some adorable gift tags:

Paper: Naturals Ivory, Whisper White
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Gumball Green, Black
Stamps: No Peeking
Tools: Big Shot, Two Tags Bigz Die, Scallop Punch
Accessories: Pear Pizzazz Baker's Twine, Jewels

Don't you just love these little characters?! They're from the No Peeking set. I coloured directly on the stamps with my Stampin' Write Markers and then punched them out with my Scallop Punch. I did the same for the sentiment (minus the punch). The tag was created with one of the two you get when you roll the Two Tags Bigz Die through the Big Shot. The scallop fits perfectly with it.

To finish off, I added some Baker's Twine and a few jewels for some bling.

Don't forget to get on over to Facebook to "like" my page (if you haven't already) and then comment on my post there about my draw for a second entry today by 2 p.m. EST.

Until next time, stay crafty!

Mr. & Mrs. Snowman

Today I have a couple of cute tags to show you. I have seen many like this floating around the net, so I can't credit just one person with the idea. For my tags though, I used the stamp set Stylin' Snowfolk and that I have not seen yet. :)

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Black, Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride, Pool Party
Tools: Big Shot, Two Tags Bigz Die, Modern Label Punch, Curly Label Punch
Accessories: Basic Grey Ribbon, Primrose Petals Satin Stitched Ribbon, Baker's Twine

The base is a tag using the Two Tags Bigz Die. For the "Mr.", I made his hat using 1/2 the Curly Label Punch and the Modern Label Punch. All the stamping is using the Stylin' Snowfolk stamp set. Perhaps I was inspired by Movember, which is why I gave my "Mr." a stash... to finish off, I added a ribbon scarf to each.

I made this cute couple into a pair of hanging tags. Perfect for holiday gifts!

What do you think?

Until next time, stay crafty!

For the Love of...

Books! The current trend seems to be anything beginning with a capital "E"... E-Readers, E-Mail, E-Learning, etc. You can find almost anything now online and it seems more rare to not do things electronically. Of course I appreciate you reading my blog, electronically, but what I'm getting at is that sometimes I just prefer to feel the paper in between my hands - books, magazines, and of course, hands-on paper crafting! So for those of you that still love to feel the paper in between your hands too, you might enjoy my magnetic bookmarks!

Check 'em out and let me know what you think.

Until next time, stay crafty!
