I finally have a heat gun so that I can show you how awesome these bookmarks are when they are heat embossed.
Just to prove how easy this project is, my seven year old, Matthew did the bookmark on the far left...and it turned out pretty good! Seriously folks, this isn't hard.
The second bookmark was done with the basic technique and some water splattered on it and dried
The third bookmark is a technique that I am really proud of because it is one that I came up with myself; using an dry embossing folder AND heat embossing. Speaking of embossing folders, Anna Griffin's new emboss and die set for the Cuttlebug came out today and drool every time I see it....one day...
Finally, the last folder has a watercolor effect to it using the ink pad and spritzer to make it. Below is a better picture of all 3 bookmarks that I made

These bookmarks are really easy and a fast project for learning a new technique! I really hope this takes away some of the stigma attached to papercrafting...it really is easy!
He really was proud of his artwork! Although you can't tell because the little booger refuses to smile in pictures. (And yes, I am fully aware that the child needs a haircut...shame on me).
So, get out there and try something new today!
Craft on!
