Cats Rule Bookmark


Well, we all knew it was coming, but never realized it would arrive so soon! Those lazy days of summer have gone, and it's time once again to hit the school books! So what could be more purr-fect (and fun) to add to your kids' pile of school supplies than an adorable kitty cat bookmark?

To create this bookmark I used one of the whimsical digital kitties from Cats and Kittens, the recent release from Angels Landing. She was printed on white Georgia Pacific card stock, colored with Prismacolor Pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits, and cut out.

The row of cat tracks printed on the bookmark is from Cat Paw Prints also from Angels Landing. The sentiment was computer generated. I used scraps of colored cardstock to create the Cats Rule book.

All the white edges were sponged with Perfect Plum ink from Stampin' Up. The white bookmark was double matted, first on Kiwi Kiss and then on Orchid Opulence by Stampin' Up. After gluing all the layers together, I slipped the bookmark into a plastic sleeve. To finish it off, I punched a hole with my Crop-o-dile and tied on some pretty ribbons!

  2. This is such a great idea to put the bookmark in a plastic sleeve. Did you make that yourself? Looks like a few of us were thinking alike with the bookmarks but we all made such different ones to commemorate the start of the new schoolyear. Love how you printed the paw prints as the background and the kitty crouching down is just the perfect image to use with the book. Great job!

  9. Great color combo with the ribbons to match. You came up with the perfect sentiment for this bookmark, and it's cute the way you've placed the kitten cozying up to that Cats Rule book. The plastic sleeve is a great idea to protect it.
