I love this idea. The bookmarks are beautiful especially with the distress inking.. On the Christmas ones, it would be nice to use a Christmas song/music book as the backs of the bookmark as an alternative.
excellent project... I have 12x12 pads that I need to use up, so I think I'll try gluing two pieces of the 12x12 scrapbook paper with some 12x12 cardstock in between and then I'll cut into 2x6 bookmarks... it should go pretty quick... thanks for the idea!..
Love these!! I always make a ton of bookmarks for my craft shows. I find that kids love to buy them for their parents and grandparents as well as teachers and friends. I also make a ton for my daughter who is a teacher to have in her reading corner. The kids love that they can take a bookmark when ever they need one. Thanks so much!
OMG!! Another FUN project. My friends and family are really going to get quite a nice packed basket of all the projects you have shared. It keeps growing. That basket will be stuffed.
Christmas 2020.... I've made tons of these bookmarks. Hershey Nugget Packs and bookmarks are my favorite items to make. Even my husband helps. He cuts up the cereal boxes for me. Thanks! Amber.
Amber--Where have you been all my crafting life? Just found you and what a great teacher you are! You are very through from beginning to end. You have a true gift. Thanks! Nolita
I love your idea, it is so cute and easy. Thank you. Amber I miss your videos, I keep looking for new videos from you and love to watch you explain and show how to.
Amber, I have been following you for about 2 years now and you always seem to come up with perfect ideas for MY craft fairs. LOL ...This one is another winner. I give it 2 thumbs up 👍👍
I remember getting that brownish finishing look by burning the edges eons ago. This ink seems was safer 😂 will try to find some damaged book to use for this. Thanks for the tutorial.
Love this! I (and my bestie slash business partner) decided to take the 2023 Craft Season off, due to being diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer late June, I had surgery and it's all gone. 4 more Radiation treatments for a cautionary measure.... so loving your channel for inspiration for the 2024 season, and xmas gifts of course!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊
thank you so very much for this tutorial. I am new to scrapbooking and had been using packaging tape to put mine together. It works and I used decorations and stickers to decorate them. I love your idea of letting us know an idea of what to charge for pricing. That helps me out a lot as well. Thank you so much!!
great project to use up scraps! Thanks for sharing. I have the tag punch in my amazon cart now. :) I can't wait to make a bunch of these. I'm working on some craft show projects now and am going to pay attention to my scraps and just cut down for these bookmarks as I go.
Hi Amber, it's Patty (Tink). Love the book marks. I always laminated a them. But I like this idea better. It warns my heart every time I see you use this punch.
Super cute! This is the type of item my mother in law looks for as gifts to her 10 “quilting friends”. You definitely stepped up your game this year with super cute, great ideas!😘😘😘😘
I use music paper instead of book pages. I think that makes them more vintage looking. Not sure if I’m going to laminate them and I use the gift tag punch for the top
These bookmarks are adorable! I made some last February, but did the vinyl covers for them. I will try the inked edges next time, as I like the vintage look for books. Great job!
I love to read so I really love this idea! Thank you for all the great tutorials. I have followed you for a long, long time. I always dream of doing a craft fair. Maybe next year!
Love the tutorial, I make fabric bookmarks, but .I'll have to give these a try. I'd save the money and cut down on plastics and skip that step. I think they display beautifully without it 😺
Great video! I made Halloween versions of this and have a good tip. I noticed with use the bottom corner edges tend to pull up so I took a paintbrush with Mod Podge to strengthen the edges-worked great.
What a GREAT idea! Very well presented. Thank you for these great tips! 👍🏻 I wonder if I can close the eye lest without that pricey tool? Hammer time? 🤣
Hello Amber, love all your tutorials and you have such a wonderful voice to listen to. Thank you for sharing all the ideas! I have a question, will the ink rub off on book pages? Thank you.
Cute item for a craft fair item! I like the Brad topper and open ended plastic sleeve! You mentioned at the end how these bookmarks would be good gifted with other items, do you ever offer any type of variety package at your craft fairs? TFS.
Thank you for sharing! Do you have any tips for the tape? I love the idea of the blue double sided tape but it always malfunctions for me. I have tried several brands and have had the same experience.
I ordered the punch you recommended from Amazon -- it does not work. It will only punch through one sheet of paper. I even tried to punch through a normal size thickness book mark I had and it won't even punch through that. I will be returning it. Stampin' Up has a new punch in their current catalog called "Delightful Tag Topper" #149518 $23.00 which will cut 1", 1-1/2", and 2". I am going to order it. I love the idea and hope I can find a punch that will work.
PrincessDamama It worked better but won’t punch through more than one piece of paper too. Then after making about 27 book marks it wouldn’t cut right. I called SU and they are replacing it at no charge. My friend is a demonstrator and she also has that punch and has a similar issue with hers but not as bad as the problem I had. The very top of the tag does not punch out right. It’s hard to describe but SU is replacing it and doesn’t want me to return the defective one. Other than that I really like the punch.
WOW, these are so cute and easy. Thank you for sharing. Can you Please tell me how long and wide the ribbons are. Thanks again for listing your products you use also.
i am starting to accumulate clear bags now for my items. What is your storage solution for them? They are so slippery and I want to keep track of the sizes and where I buy them too. Thank you for the discount code. I will use it today.
So cute! I love these. My son is a teacher and what a fun thing to make for his classes. 80 students! Lol 😆. I especially loved the plaid ribbon. Was it by chance Hobby Lobby? I am also loving the way you are doing the pricing and packaging this year!Thanks Amber, you’re the best ❤️
What size ribbon did you use; the width? Length? Also, how did you cut the cardstock and other papers , by hand or rotary cutter and Matt? wondering the most efficient way to cut multiple papers.
If you click on her amazon link in description box you will find it under "supplies" it is called distress ink! The stamp tool is right next to the ink! www.amazon.com/dp/B0006HBUEM/?cv_ct_id=amzn1.idea.1L40DXTEWHI45&cv_ct_pg=storefront&cv_ct_wn=aip-storefront&ref=exp_cov_lyriclover810_dp_vv_mw
Hi I tried these. Mine don’t look as sturdy as yours I did the exact thing that you did but they are buckling and warping. What am I doing wrong? I only used a tiny bit of glue
Amber! I really enjoy watching your videos and always refer to your channel for new ideas, so thank you so much for sharing your very easy to understand projects. I must comment on the wonderful choice of background music you choose! What is the name of this beautiful guitar music? I particularly love your craft fair recaps! Thank you!
Sooooo thankful for the baggie link! They were only about $6... That shipping though! So glad I ordered now and paid $5ish for USPS... TWO WEEKS to receive. Which is fine with me! 😁 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Can't wait to get started on my Halloween 🎃 bookmarks and JJ's planned for family and friends! 😁 LOVE LOVE LOVE your vids!
Absolutely beautiful. Fast...quick...easy...festive...
What a nice idea.
I love this idea. The bookmarks are beautiful especially with the distress inking.. On the Christmas ones, it would be nice to use a Christmas song/music book as the backs of the bookmark as an alternative.
Great idea to use Christmas sheet music!
I love your simple ideas which are easy to price on a lower price point...drawing people to our booth and giving affordable items for all!
excellent project... I have 12x12 pads that I need to use up, so I think I'll try gluing two pieces of the 12x12 scrapbook paper with some 12x12 cardstock in between and then I'll cut into 2x6 bookmarks... it should go pretty quick... thanks for the idea!..

Great gifted with a holiday book. For those going through grieving there is a great christmas tree book for those losing loved ones

I appreciate you mentioning it.

Love your videos.. thanks for shaing.. I have lots of scraps, brads, and ribbon... I think I better get busy!
I like these bookmarks and so pretty with the brads and ribbons!
Perfect idea for our church Country Store event craft section. Thanks, Amber!
Love this! I (and my bestie slash business partner) decided to take the 2023 Craft Season off, due to being diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer late June, I had surgery and it's all gone. 4 more Radiation treatments for a cautionary measure.... so loving your channel for inspiration for the 2024 season, and xmas gifts of course!!! ❤😊❤😊❤😊
Haven’t tried these but they look so fun and I could use up scraps. Thanks for your inspiration.
Thank you! Super cute. I have a lot 6 x 6 pads so I think I will do 2 x 6 ones
thank you so very much for this tutorial. I am new to scrapbooking and had been using packaging tape to put mine together. It works and I used decorations and stickers to decorate them.

Amber, these bookmarks are a great gift idea. I enjoy your tutorials. Thanks for sharing.🦋
I love these bookmarks....love to watch your videos, you explain everything so well!!!!
Hi Amber, it's Patty (Tink). Love the book marks. I always laminated a them. But I like this idea better.
It warns my heart every time I see you use this punch.
Thank you so much, Patty! ❤️❤️❤️
Love ❤️ making bookmarks! Thank you for sharing! Making these will save on my laminating.
Super cute! This is the type of item my mother in law looks for as gifts to her 10 “quilting friends”. You definitely stepped up your game this year with super cute, great ideas!😘😘😘😘
Cute projects!!! It'd be a nice little gift for nursing home residents. Thank you for sharing!!!
I use music paper instead of book pages. I think that makes them more vintage looking. Not sure if I’m going to laminate them and I use the gift tag punch for the top
Super cute.I made something like this before but its so nice to know there are so many other ideas out there.
These bookmarks are adorable! I made some last February, but did the vinyl covers for them. I will try the inked edges next time, as I like the vintage look for books. Great job!
I am in love with these!!! they are super cute and can be made with any theme! Tfs!!! really enjoying your craft fair series!
Perfect to give with a gift card to a bookstore!!
Adorable bookmarks so special,unique and creative. Love them! Thanks for the tutorial. Happy week!

You make things look so classy
These look so festive - TFS!

What great way to use up scraps. 💗
Great video! I made Halloween versions of this and have a good tip. I noticed with use the bottom corner edges tend to pull up so I took a paintbrush with Mod Podge to strengthen the edges-worked great.
What a GREAT idea! Very well presented. Thank you for these great tips! 👍🏻 I wonder if I can close the eye lest without that pricey tool? Hammer time? 🤣
Love this cute idea! I may add these to my craft fairs. I think that's a fair price for what you do with the bookmarks to make them look pretty.
If using a brad, think I would cover the brad on back with a sticker.
Hello Amber, love all your tutorials and you have such a wonderful voice to listen to. Thank you for sharing all the ideas! I have a question, will the ink rub off on book pages? Thank you.
They look great, and for not readers: 2 inch off and a nice tag is born :)
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing! I am going to make some for Christmas!
This is such a great tutorial from beginning to end! I just want to make a few to put in special friends Christmas cards. Thank you so much for this!

Thank you. Your products are brilliant and the video was clear. Thanks, too, for the invaluable tips.
Cute item for a craft fair item! I like the Brad topper and open ended plastic sleeve! You mentioned at the end how these bookmarks would be good gifted with other items, do you ever offer any type of variety package at your craft fairs? TFS.

Cutest idea i have ever seen.
These are gorgeous! And so easy.
Thanks for sharing. This is a perfect tutorial for what I intend to create for my family. 🙏👍
Think of doing them for my holiday market

sjkrueg1948,
Did the Stampin Up punch work any better? I'm on the hunt for a decent punch. Thanks!
PrincessDamama It worked better but won’t punch through more than one piece of paper too. Then after making about 27 book marks it wouldn’t cut right. I called SU and they are replacing it at no charge. My friend is a demonstrator and she also has that punch and has a similar issue with hers but not as bad as the problem I had.

💓💚💓 These are SO precious! LOVE them! 💚💓💚

Very cute simple and easy. Going to try making a few. Tfs! ❤
I love this so beautiful I love the little clear bags yes! 💕
These are awesome!! Thank you for sharing. May I ask what the width of the ribbon is? 1/4”, 2/8”? Thank you so much!
Instead of laminating what you seal them with
Super cool idea to give with a book. Tfs, Debbie
What size are your bookmarks in inches, and do you have a template or die you use.?
So cute! I love these. My son is a teacher and what a fun thing to make for his classes. 80 students! Lol 😆. I especially loved the plaid ribbon. Was it by chance Hobby Lobby? I am also loving the way you are doing the pricing and packaging this year!Thanks Amber, you’re the best ❤️
As usual 😉 great ideas! Thank you
I love these! You have the best ideas.
What size ribbon did you use; the width? Length?
Also, how did you cut the cardstock and other papers , by hand or rotary cutter and Matt?
wondering the most efficient way to cut multiple papers.
I love your stamp that you used to ink the edges. Can you please share where you found it?
If you click on her amazon link in description box you will find it under "supplies" it is called distress ink! The stamp tool is right next to the ink!

These are so cute!
What type and width of ribbon do you use in your bookmarks? I’m trying to make some for gifts.
Hi I tried these. Mine don’t look as sturdy as yours I did the exact thing that you did but they are buckling and warping. What am I doing wrong? I only used a tiny bit of glue
Love these too! 📚💖
Question: how do you guys cut your bookmarks? With scissors or a rotary cutter or what. I don't cut very straight... :(
These are great! As long as we dont use the 50 shades books we will be ok 😄
Hahaaa! I made some 50 shades bookmarks with my mother-in-law not too long ago! They are in my Instagram! So funny! 💜
LOVE LOVE LOVE this project!

How did you cut the top at an angle
These are amazing I love them I want to try to make some also may I please ask what size ribbon you use?
Wow Amber another awesome tutorial!! You’re amazing TFS ❤️
