Embossed Metal Bookmarks
By Judi Kauffman 

These bookmarks began when I was experimenting with the embossing capabilities of my die cutting machine. Stencils and foil make a great combination. There are endless stencil designs and foil is readily available and affordable, but embossed foil is not very durable and the edges can be sharp, so I decided to laminate some of my favorite pieces to use for bookmarks. 

Materials:

  • Banner American laminating pouches

  • QuikFinish laminating machine

  • Foil

  • Stencil

  • Die cutting machine with embossing capabilities (option: Use stylus to emboss)

  • Tassels 

Instructions:
 

Step 1: Following the manufacturer’s instructions, stencil-emboss a piece of foil.
 
Step 2: Cut the embossed foil into strips. Layer onto card stock or insert directly into a laminating pouch.  
 
Step 3: Laminate.
 
Step 4: Add a tassel.
