I can't take credit for this idea - I saw a bookmark card on-line somewhere - but I figured out how to make this on my own.
 |
| Bookmark card - card is closed but with bookmark opened out so you can see the front of it |
 |
| Bookmark Card - Card is open, with the bookmark folded in - this shows you the back of the bookmark. |
You can make it any size, but here are some quick instructions for making a card with a finished size of four and a half inches by six and a quarter inches.
- Cut a piece of cardstock to 6 1/4 inches by 10 1/2 inches.
- You will be measuring along the long edge of this cardstock and scoring perpendicular to it.
- Score the card at 4 1/2 inches and perforate it at 9 inches (so the bookmark can be removed). Then fold along both of those lines to the INSIDE. This gives you a normal looking card until you open it up and see the attached bookmark. Note: I have a perforating blade for my cutter which makes the perforation easy. If you don't have that, you can score along this line as well, fold it, and then pierce along the fold with a paper piercer to make the bookmark easier to remove.
- Decorate your card and bookmark as you wish! As you can see, I chose to punch a hole in my bookmark and attach a tassle.

Cheryl, pretty card/bookmark. I wanted to make this type of card but forgot all about it. Thanks for sharing and jogging my memory!
I've never heard of this kind of card, but it looks neat and would be perfect to give along with books for Christmas. Thanks for the tutorial!
