Welcome to the LBK Card Creations Blog. I've created this blog to share my card-making and other paper craft ideas. All the cards I make are purposely created to fit in a regular postage envelope and to be easy enough to make large numbers of them. I don't really make one of anything. If you like an idea I've shared or have suggestions regarding it, please feel free to post a comment.

Bookmark: Hebrew/English Calligraphy - Words from the heart
Inspiration: Another quote I like. This one comes from the Talmud. "Words that come from the heart, enter the hear."
How I Make Them: Again I use a pre-cut 1.75 inches by 6.5 inches bookmark from Hollo's Papercraft. This time I use it horizontally. I draw my pencil lines from the top at 1MM and then 2 lines every 9MM after that. From the bottom I draw them at 1MM, 5MM, 6MM, and 10MM. I calligraphy this bookmark in either red or pink ink (usually Speedball ink for the red and self-mixed watercolor paint for the pink). I write the Hebrew letters using a C-3 Speedball nib and a Hunt Ex-Fine Bowl 512 for the vowels. I write the English using a C-4 Speedball nib. After the calligraphy ink has dried, I draw a small red (or pink) heart using either the ink or gel pens. Finally, I laminate the card using my Xylon sticker laminator.
