·       Blender, cello sponges and soft towels
·       A sunny window
·       Scraps of off white paper (think junk mail, etc.)
·       Scraps of white card stock and tan chip board to die cut (I used the inside of a cereal box)

·       ¼” round hole punch

9.     Tear a piece of handmade paper a bit smaller than the card.
10.  Tear a piece of handmade paper approx. 3 x 6 ½” for the bookmark.
