Stamping on Twill Tape

[webseitler]

I want to make one of those fabulous little bookmarks! But first, I want your opinion: Craft or Classic ink? Or something else?

I have had good luck with classic ink, but I admit I'm not a fan of craft ink (too messy for me).

What fabulous little bookmarks??

I remember posting in another thread about using classic ink on Twill tape. It works, but the look is much more subtle (muted you could even call it!)

I attached a picture of the Scrapbook page that I used twill on, and classic ink. I wish I had craft ink to make it stand out more, but I have to finish buying all the classic pads before I start in on the craft ones!!

Could you please clarify about how to make the "fabulous little bookmarks"? It sounds like a great idea, I have the twill tape, and hey, I might be able to make one! But I gotta know how (suspense is killing me)

There was a bookmark in the latest On Stage. It's just the widest piece of twill tape, cut to "bookmark length", that is stamped and the ends are frayed. It's really cute.

what a great idea! TFS! I think even I could make one.

I was just wondering this myself Nicole. I finally ordered some twill tape for myself, and that was the first project I thought about.

It's good to see you posting again.

I just voted other... but really what I meant is that I like Classic and Staz-on the best for twill... the craft looks to smeary and hard to read. have fun!!

Congrats, Trudee! That is one smashing little bookmark.

Thank you, everyone for your advice!

Trudee, your bookmark is gorgeous!! I posted a question under it but I'll ask it here as well: "Does the cardstock keep it from fraying more or did you use fraycheck or some similar product?"

Hi Mary Ann!
I have the sticky strip right up to the very edge of the cardstock. I think that is what helps to prevent the fraying?
Hope that helps!
