I am totally stealing kootoyoo’s idea for quick, inexpensive, Christmas gifts: embroidered corner bookmarks. Ever have trouble figuring out which page the bookmark refers to? She says, “X marks the spot”: Put the X on the page you want to return to. (The other side of the bookmark does not have an X.) She also notes that she used a couple of small stick-on magnets to make sure the bookmark stays in place. I haven’t quite figured out how that works, yet; but I’ll come up with something. Or maybe kootoyoo will treat us to a tutorial! Yeah, that’s the ticket. Go see her post.

Christmas Domed Shaker Cards Tutorial
If you’re looking to create amazing, over the top cards for this Holiday Season then check out these wonderful designs from Yana! Using products from Spellbinders she created a collection of shaker card but they are regular shakers they are domed to add dimension and extra room for thicker shaker insert items. notice how the domes are different shapes, like rounded, diamond and tear drop becuase each shape and size has matching dies to cut the openings to make it easier to create. She used lots of beautiful dies and foiled sentiments to decorate her domed shaker cards with tiny gems and twine for added embellishment.
She is sharing a video tutorial on her Yana Smakula blog with all the details.
