I have a fun project for Two for Tuesday today. I created a book binding fun fold (which is also a gift card holder) thank you card with a matching bookmark. I needed to send a thank you to a book loving friend who showed me some wonderful kindness recently and wanted to treat her to a few new books, so I included a gift card, as well. I had this card in mind when I ordered the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper. Despite not ordering the Let’s Go Shopping bundle, the DSP has a lot of fun images that can be cut to create many projects. I’m looking forward to using it all up!!

Let’s get to the details…
Measure & Cut
- Basic White Thick card base: cut at 4 1/4″ x 11, score at 4 1/2″ and 5 1/2″ to create the book binding.
- Balmy Blue card stock: 4 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ and 7/8″ x 4 1/8″
- Basic White card stock: 4 1/4″ x 4″
- Les Shoppe DSP: 3/4″ x 4 1/8″ (side panel) and 1/2″ x 4″ (bottom strip)
- Balmy Blue card stock (inside): 4 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ and 4″ x 2″ (inside pocket)

Assemble
- Glue the 1″ scored panel to the inside of the card to create the “binding”
- Glue the Balmy Blue strip and DSP strip to the 1″ panel.
- Glue the Balmy Blue and Basic White panel to the card front.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set on the Basic White panel.
- Add the strip of DSP from the Les Shoppes DSP collection to the bottom of white panel.
- Cut the “stores” from the DSP collection and add to the card front.

- The inside sentiment is also from the Charming Sentiments stamp set.
- The inside pocket (which is optional) holds a gift card.

I took some liberty with the bookmark. I used a retired Label punch to create the bookmark. The books are cut from the Les Shoppes DSP also. I dove into my stash for the sentiments and the eyeglasses.
I just loved playing with this Designer Series Paper. I hope you enjoyed this fun card combination.
Thanks for coming by today…enjoy your day!
Take care,
Rosanne
