The Nickel Nook: Rinea Tutorial - An Easy Bookmark Using Rinea Foiled Paper

Hello, my friends!

Today I have a new tutorial for Rinea.

I'm going to show you how to make this easy bookmark
using these fabulous foiled papers!

Materials Used:

Rinea Ruby/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Black Cardstock

Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Thinlits Die, or Other Alphabet Die

WRMK - Euro Hook Power Punch

Martha Stewart - Heart Seal Punch

Piece of Washi Tape or Sticky Notes

Coordinating Fiber

1. I began by cutting a piece of black cardstock - 6 1/4 x 1 3/4.

2. I cut a piece of Ruby Glossy Foiled Paper - 6 x 1 1/2.

3. I decided I wanted my bookmark to say "I LOVE READING" with the heart seal in place of the LOVE. So I laid my letter dies in place on the Ruby Foiled Paper, leaving the appropriate space. I used a piece of Washi tape to hold them in place. TIP: When I use these particular dies with my Rinea Foiled Paper, I add a piece of cardstock underneath before running it through my Big Shot. Otherwise the dies stick into my cutting mat and the foil tears when I'm trying to remove it. Adding the extra cardstock prevents this from happening.

4. Next, I turn over the Ruby Glossy Foiled paper, and punch the Heart Seal from the Gold Glossy Foiled paper side.

5. Adhere all the pieces together, remembering to add the inside bits of the letters to the black cardstock base.

6. I used the WRMK Power Punch at the top of the bookmark. It offers the perfect spot to add fiber. I cut several strands of fiber, and threaded them through the hole. My pretty bookmark was complete.
