I wanted to give my customers a little something when I mailed out their catalogues. I decided to make them book markers. I used the All About Autumn Suite from the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue. I wanted to use as much of the elements in the Suite as possible, showing them what they looked like. The base of the book marker is card stock, that is the colors in the Suite, and has been embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. The tag punch is the Fancy Tag Punch which can be found in the Clearance Rack right now. I used the 6×6 Designer Series Paper from the suite. The large maple leaf die cut, was the other side of the Designer Series Paper and the smaller leaves were die cut with the Autumn Leaves die and is cut in the Oxidized Copper Specialty Foil. The sentiment die was also from the Autumn Leaves dies and the sentiment is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set. The ribbon is the copper ribbon from the Copper and Natural Combo pack.
