Lift off Book mark card with SU Bee Mine - published rather late!! OOPs!!

 This project is a delightful card and small gift in one that I made in February but never published! How did that happen?!!  It makes a thoughtful present for an avid reader and would be lovely to pop inside a book given as a present. I have grandchildren who would love these, so I know how to use the fun Bee Mine suite from the Mini Catalogue. We don’t make as many Valentine’s cards here in the UK as I understand are sent in the US, but the designs and stamps are such fun.

This is also a great way to use your punches or any of the nesting dies to vary the design and you can either fussy cut an image from the DSP or stamp.  You could also make these with young people. What a fun activity for the weekend or school holidays!
