Tutorial

Well I woke up and is was ready to share so here it is my latest video tutorial on how to make a lovely bookmark using the silver Hodgepodge from SU. I will however need to make you aware that if you give this a go be careful and don't make the same mistake I did, can you spot it? the first person to spot my mistake in this video gets a little prize, just leave me a comment. Also I know that after seeing this you will just have to buy this beautiful tin full of yummyness so I'm going to make it easier to treat yourself to it. Buy the Hodgepodge Hardware tin and a reel of the double stitched grosgrain ribbon( colour of your choice) from me for an amazing £25.00 plus p&p. Great deal you could make at least 10 bookmarks to give as presents this year and still be left with loads of gorgeous pieces of hardware to use on your projects, just email me at telemech01@aol.com. Right I better go to work now enjoy the video. Hugs Monica xxx

  2. Excellent tutorial, thank you, I think the mistake you made was... saying the plyers are NOT metal.

  5. Monica - I love the book mark and thanks for a fab tutorial - and I noticed your mistake at the very end!! Your stamped image will be upside down when used as a bookmark!!!

  6. So unless I missed something I guess your mistake was cutting the ribbon the wrong way ... I've done that soooo many times.
    Great tip about the embossing powders - if I stored mine like that I guess I'd use them more often. Lovely bookmark ... really pretty!

  7. What a fab idea. I will have a go at making some of these. The only mistake i could see was the one where you cut the ribbon. Instead of a V you cut a point initally.

  9. Great video Monica - well done

    You mention not to do something you did ... was it get the image the wrong way up? I think the image needs to be the facing away from the ribbon to make it the right way up on the book when its in use?

  13. Hi Monica,
    you wanted to emboss the frame two times. But you have only emboss it one time. is that the mistake???

  14. Hello I just watched your tutorial for the awesome bookmark, and to answer the question of what mistake you made in the tutorial..you placed the stamped image into the frame upside down from what it should be. xxTee

  15. Love this bookmark! Such a great use of the Hodgepodge frames.

    Was the 'mistake' you cutting the card shape around the top of the frame instead of across the width, so you couldn't thread the last ribbon through easily?

    Easy done, I'm always doing stuff like that ;-) xx

  16. I love that file...

    Just a guess at the mistake (except the ribbon cutting that you spotted :)), you made the one in the video with the image upside down in the frame to the one in the photo???

  17. What a great tutorial ~ I am definitely going to try this. And I won't pretty up my ribbon the wrong way 'round at one end like you did....that's the error! Did I win?

  20. Hi Monica, Gorgeous bookmark idea, I think if the bookmark is meant to fold over the book pages then the image is upside down in the frame!
    Great tutorial, thanks!
