In today's video, I’m turning cardstock scraps and leftover pattern paper into a giftable encouragement bookmark featuring die cutting, ink blended edges, and simple layered details. You'll see how I used the Be Strong and Courageous Die Set, Wizard Bookmark Die Set, and Bella Flowers 6x6 Pattern Paper Pack to create a project that goes beyond traditional cardmaking while making the most of supplies already in your craft room.

This beginner-friendly bookmark tutorial focuses on scrap busting, die cut assembly, and adding depth with ink blending. I’ll also share how I finished the back of the bookmark with a stamped sentiment and decorative die cut flowers, creating a handmade encouragement gift that is both practical and meaningful.
