Lickety split coasters...plus there's three terrific flower-shaped templates. How cool is that? Now you smarties have already figured out you can use adhesive backed felt to eliminate the glue, and/or you can use your die cutting machine and large floral dies to do the work. If your machine (or die) won't cut through the double layer of felt and cork, cut each layer seperately then adjoin them.

TUTORIAL: PHOTO BOOKMARK (MARTHA STEWART)

How's this for the perfect gift for the perfect dad? Looks to me like it'll work. I recommend you cover the photo side of the book mark with a laminate sheet that is cut to the edges and ends of the ribbon after it is applied (and burnished). The laminate will protect the photo, and it'll also keep the ribbon ends from fraying.
