Create a quick gift for book lovers

Hello Pebbles fans, it’s Monique here today sharing a “quick gift” project using the Midnight Haunting collection. If someone asks me what kind of gift I would like to receive most, I’ll always say a book as I’m a huge book lover! Every free minute I have is either spent scrapping or reading. So it goes without saying that one of my favorite gifts to create is a bookmark! For lovers of thrillers, detectives or mysteries I created this set of three scary bookmarks:

It’s so fun to use the Midnight Haunting collection with it’s many (puffy) stickers and die-cuts of owls, ghosts and bats to create scary & spooky bookmarks. Bookmarks can’t be too bulky otherwise they damage your book, but in this collection there are so many embellishments that are just perfect for creating (flat) bookmarks!

I started the bookmarks by cutting 3 strips of black cardstock (3″x 8″) and choosing some patterned papers I wanted to use. If you want to create really quick gifts you don’t have to stitch the sides of the patterned papers, but I just have to add sewing to my projects otherwise they don’t feel complete. If you do decide to use your sewing machine make sure you do this before glueing the patterned papers to the cardstock background.

Next I added the embellishments, stitched a bit more and glued the papers to the black cardstock and added a few ribbons.

And here are the bookmarks one by one. I just love the gold accents in this collection, like the gold bat in the photo below, the gold foil vellum in the second photo and the gold Thickers in the third photo:

My daughter, who’s also a huge book lover, already claimed one of the bookmarks and to be honest I would really like to keep one too, but that would mean that I would have only one left to give away …. I suppose I’d better start making more of them as they are really quick to create and I’ve got so many book loving friends!
