Fairy Bookmark cards using Kaisercraft Paper Pad by Alicia McNamara

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing how to make these Fairy Cards which are the project of the month over at the Kaisercraft Website.  Full instructions to make these cards can also be found here. These cards are also featured in the Kaisercraft Workshop Magazine.

They include  a removable bookmark in the card that little girls can use when reading their Fairy Books.

These Fairy Cards were made with the 6 1/2 inch Paper Pad, a few dies, some ribbon and a little bit of bling.
