HTDT? 03.24.09 Flopsey Card w/Removeable Bookmark
Hi everyone! I was so excited when Kim asked me to do a HTDT tutorial for my Flopsey card with a removeable bookmark. My daughter's teacher had shared a wonderful book with me, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. (Oh, how that story tugs at your heart.) Anyway, I thought this card, with the bunny and bookmark, would be a perfect thank you.
Here we go!
1. Make your card base. (My finished card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".) I added the strip across the center so that once the bookmark is removed, the card isn't too terribly plain.
2. Stamp and mat your focal image. (Mine measures 4 1/4" x 2 7/8".)
3. Add two thin strips of foam tape to the backside top and bottom edges of your focal point.
I used a 4" length of 1/2" foam tape. I cut it in half (so I had two 4" x 1/4" lengths) then in half again (four 4" x 1/8" strips). I then stacked two lengths across the top edge and two lengths across the bottom edge.

4. Make your bookmark. Remember that it needs to fit easily between the two strips of foam tape. (My finished bookmark measures 5 1/2" x 2 1/4".)
I raised the bunny image on pop dots so that if the recipient wants to remove the ribbon/twill, it will easily slide out from under the image.
5. Lay the bookmark across the front of the card.
6. Adhere card focal point over bookmark, making sure the foam tape does not touch the bookmark.

How wonderfully timely. My DS asked me to make a thank you for his English teacher today and this looks just perfect. What a creative way to say thanks. Now, if only I had gotten that flopsy set!! Thanks so much to you for sharing your talented idea with us. I am also writing down the name of that book...
