We’re back this week with another awesome Bring on the Crafts Blog Hop! I love this hop so much because it challenges us to push our creativity. This month’s theme is stamps and I didn’t want to just bring you another boring stamp craft. Instead, I wanted to think outside of the box.

Coloring is such a great way for moms to de-stress and it takes zero prep, which we all know is crazy important in our hectic lives. Now you can easily make a coloring card for Mother’s Day with this super simple tutorial. It uses items you likely already have in your craft stash, except maybe the card forms so it’s totally budget friendly too! This is the perfect card to accompany Mom’s gift this year.

Next, fold your cards. They have fold line preformed but if you have trouble, use a boning tool to make it easier to fold.

Step 9 (Optional)

I don’t like blank cards if I can find a stamp that expresses a sentiment. I stamped the inside of mine with a quote from Alfred Tennyson. Many people associate this quote with romantic love but I think it’s more encompassing. What mom doesn’t want to know that she is frequently thought about and loved?

Yep, I’m back with more glittery DIY fun! After making this pressed flower DIY bookmark last month, it occurred to me that I could make another super awesome bookmark with glitter. Let’s be honest. You’re reading more than one book at a time anyway so you need multiple bookmarks.

When you have the molds, there’s really nothing to making these. That’s leaves a lot of room for creativity and experimentation. You could technically make this any color you want, I simply really like hot pink. Feel free to use your favorite color in lieu of the pink glitter.

Pink Glittery DIY Bookmark Materials

Step 1

First, put on your protective gloves. Don’t work with your epoxy resin without having them on.

Step 2

Add 1.5 tbsp of each element of your epoxy resin to your small plastic cup.

Note:

 

Mixed Clear Resin in Small Container

Step 3

Then stir the epoxy resin with a wooden stick until well combined.

Step 4

Next, add in your glitter.

Step 5

Once your glitter is on the resin, stir it with your stick. Make sure to get the glitter throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Lastly, pour your resin mixture into your small bookmark mold and let it set for 24 hours.

Step 7

After your resin has cured, pop the bookmark out of the mold.

 

Sanded Pink Glittery Bookmark

Step 8

Then use a Dremel to sand any rough edges and corners. Also sand inside the hole for the ribbon. You don’t want rough edges to wear through the tassel.

Step 9

Wipe off any dust from sanding then thread your yarn through the hole in the top of the bookmark.

Step 10

Finish your bookmark by securely tying the yarn to itself with a knot. Then trim any excess yarn.

I absolutely love how this turned out. It’s so pretty and pink and sparkly. It’s pretty much me in bookmark form, especially with the colorful tassel. Now you too can have a beautiful pink glittery DIY bookmark for marking your place.

This also makes a great gift idea because you can totally whip up a bunch of them at once. You’re only limited by the amount of molds you have. If you have 5 bookmark molds, you can make and cure 5 bookmarks at a time. Then you can give 4 as gifts and keep one for yourself. Now you just have to decide what book to read next.

My momma has been out of town for a few weeks recently.
