I created these jumbo paper clip bookmarks as soon as I received the new gorgeous Spellbinders Dress Form dies. (They are currently only available through Crafter Home Stores. Starting in February, you will be able to purchase them in all stores that carry Spellbinders dies.)
After making the Paper Clips I knew I needed to make a little stand to show them off. The backdrop was cut and embossed with a Grand Label 23 die out of 12" x 12" MME Lost & Found 2 Sunshine Paper. It was stitched to a piece of cardstock cut with the same die to add stability and adhered to a small box.
The box was created out of a 5" x 8" piece of Kraft cardstock. It was scored at the 5" side at 3/4", 2 1/4", 3" and 4 1/2". The long side was scored at 3/4" and 7 1/4". Three 3/4" wide slits were cut into the top about 1/16" wide to slide the paper clips in.

That is so cool! But, what else could we expect from you?! Thanx so much for all the creative inspiration you give us! As my Grandson would say, "you're top notch!"
This is so gorgeous...I can't stand it! You certainly are a TALENT! I've never used SpellBinders but, as one comment said, it makes me want to run out and buy it! TFS!
