I worked on a project last year. I had used all of the scraps and had punched out 145 bookmarks! I just put them in a drawer! When Maymay posted this video! I took them out, embellished them and tied a ribbon on each one! Mailed them out on Monday! Very happy to donate them!😁
Love this! I'm having so much fun. My bookmarks are 2 x 6 because the commercial ones I love are all that size. I have tons of 6 x 6 paper pads that I can get 3 fronts from each sheet, and I found all sorts of quotes about reading online, so I handwrote different quotes on the backs of each bookmark.
These are lovely. One thought, thinking of my Mom and her contemporaries with diminished vision, the more contrast there is, dark and/or bright on light color or pattern, might be easier for the elderly to see.
Boy! Forgive my English. My cataract is getting worse. I cannot type correctly. It is difficult to read the word when I am typing. I don’t have a job now so I have plenty of time to make a card. Thank again.
I have been a “collector” of supplies for far too long and am loving using them in this way. I have rediscovered my love for washi tape. I am finally busting my washi tape out and am putting it to good use. I also dragged out my punches for quick embellishments. I pulled out the glitter card stock...what fun!
@@phyllismartello6273 we could still use bookmarks, but we'd like for them to have handwritten encouraging messages so the people who receive them know they're handmade and they can be uplifting while the people are reading their books.
Maymay love the ideas you had for the bookmarks. And, thank you for the info Cards for kids. It’s just the Organization I was looking for to send the cards I make.
I’ve already got 150 bookmarks ready. I was just waiting to see if it was ok to add ribbon to the tops. I went to the website and read all the info. I am so glad to help! Thanks for letting us know Maymay!
Maymay - thank you for letting us know. 120 ready to go in the mail today - glad I had a good sized stash to give me a starting point and I used the PDF your team designed on some I made this morning.
I blew through some of my 6x6 papers making these today! This would be a great project to bust a 6x6 paper pad. And it's pretty quick. My goal is to donate at least 100 bookmarks.
🎄Wow, I think this is what I was looking for, something that will be appreciated and so much fun. I will read everything first and definitely participate 😃. THANKS so much for mentioning this 😃 Can’t wait to get started 😆 Would you happen to know who needs or wants Christmas cards ??? A few years back you showed all the ornaments people sent you and you’d place them on the tree at the store, I know you’ve moved now and I also think you were gathering Christmas cards to ship somewhere that I forgot. Do you still take Christmas ornaments for your tree at the store ??? Your cards are so beautiful, I’m definitely running with your ideas 😃. God Bless You All 🎄
Good idea for the service project, but we won't be able to sign off on the hours. If you're able to sign the paperwork that could work. That's part of our FAQ page. Thanks!
Please note, all the guidelines for the bookmarks are 100% the same as the cards. Since we're all volunteers we are not able to update our website to include this request. One benefit is if you sign a part of your cards/bookmarks with your name and location. That makes it clear they were handmade and makes it seem even more personal.
Thank you! I've been researching this need for bookmarks and found absolutely nothing. I thought I was the only one missing it. Lol My kids and I are going to be working on this together. 💜
Wow. You inspired me to do this. I never realized this existed. Thank you for this information. My daughter and I are making a batch to send and she shared the information with instructors at her swim school to do with their children's zoom classes.
Great idea to help them with bookmarks !!! I am just wondering if the colour on the stacked teacups could stain the bookpages...if it's so laminating would help.
I've tried several ways to find the information about the bookmarks and cannot? Nothing on their website to help me with the can and cannot. Please help
Ok you need to go to the companies website, link is in her blog post. Then from there you can look at "More Information" and in there is where it will tell you what things you can use and what not to use, like no religious messages. It downloaded a PDF or something on my device so it's several steps to get there.
Hello, my name is Bharti. Can I use bookmark with deferent size and can I use diy cuts? for cards and bookmark? I love to make cards all the time and I was looking for this kid of organization for long time. Thank you for sharing. I love love love to help you out. What is the last date to make Book mark and cards? Please let me know. Thanks again.
It is in the blog post linked in the description. Please click the "show more" button and then you can click our link that will take you directly to our blog post with all info needed. Thanks
@@mykraftycorner8681 in the blog post some of the words are in RED like the name of the site, those are links you can click on. however, none of them say anything about bookmarks, or what images are not allowed. I know some people are weird about Owls, for example. It would be nice to know ahead of time.Because we kind of think book owl but some think owls are a bad omen.
Be sure to read the frequently asked questions. That will clear up what can and can’t be done. If it isn’t allowed they will have covered it there. Thanks!
I am excited to make some for this. I can not find the info on the website for the bookmarks. Only the cards. Can anyone direct me to the bookmark info on the CardzForKids site?

I made some that said “reading gives you some place to go when you have to stay where you are!” So appropriate for this day and age.
I love this quote, did you write it?
That's my favorite reading themed quote. Perfect for bookmarks.
No, it is attributed to an 8year old. Morgan something. Can’t remember the last name.
Thank you for sharing.
quote is by Mason Cooley
Was able to make 55 bookmarks. All made with scraps. Felt good to clear some stash and help out. In the mail tomorrow.
I worked on a project last year. I had used all of the scraps and had punched out 145 bookmarks! I just put them in a drawer! When Maymay posted this video! I took them out, embellished them and tied a ribbon on each one! Mailed them out on Monday! Very happy to donate them!😁
I made 25 bookmarks and sent them last week with a note that I am a MayMay Made It subscriber. I hope they like them!!
Thank you for telling us about this! I just sent them 40 bookmarks. Great way to use scraps and odds & ends embellishments.
What a fantastic project and a wonderful place to give. I’m sure going to try. I need some of these tools.
Thank you MayMay for introducing me to this organization. I think I will become involved.

Hi Maymay - thank you so much for this. Now I can use up my paper. I will made the bookmark and send straight to cardzforkid.

all my questions are answered .... thanks!
70 book marks done and still working on more thanks Maymay for giving me something to do lol
Thanks so much for spreading the word! The cards and bookmarks will be so helpful!
Do we sign the bookmarks?
@@kellyclark628 yes.
Do you still want bookmarks?
@@phyllismartello6273 we could still use bookmarks, but we'd like for them to have handwritten encouraging messages so the people who receive them know they're handmade and they can be uplifting while the people are reading their books.
@@cardzforkidz4282 how long will you be collecting book marks?
Maymay love the ideas you had for the bookmarks. And, thank you for the info Cards for kids. It’s just the Organization I was looking for to send the cards I make.
Thanks! We're trying to get over 23,000 cards this quarter!

Did you find out if it's ok or not? I was wondering the same thing, but I didn't find anything specific.
You can add the ribbon.

Great idea MAYMAY! Now I can craft away with a PURPOSE🥰Tfs💕

What a lovely way to touch someone’s life! I am so glad you told us about this. I will definitely be making bookmarks and cards. ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely ideas, MayMay!
I would LOVE to do this and donate. I will watch your video in full tonight
I think the longer bookmarks would be welcome - some seniors might need large print books which would need longer/larger bookmarks
I like a long skinny bookmark. I would make two out of some of those doors.
This is wonderful! Thanks for the information to do this worthy project! Your bookmarks are lovely! Thanks for sharing this! God bless!!!
24 completed and in the mail....thanks for sharing so that I could take part in this! LOVE all you do!! 🥰🥰
Count me in! Thanks Maymay. Love your heart. Hugs and blessings.

I am sending 30 bookmarks that I made today with my paper scraps and my 4H reading project kids will be making another 50-75 as a service project.
What a great idea!
Good idea for the service project, but we won't be able to sign off on the hours. If you're able to sign the paperwork that could work. That's part of our FAQ page. Thanks!
Thank for sharing about this organization. 🥰
Exactly what I needed to use up my paper & cardstock stash...perfect!
God bless you for doing this and letting us all know about such a great program!
Thanks for sharing! My contribution is in the mail.
Such a great organization 👏 I've been donating cards to them and I'm excited to help with bookmarks.

Hi there, I am in South Australia and would love to help out. Do you need bookmarks and cards all the year round?
Thank you! I've been researching this need for bookmarks and found absolutely nothing. I thought I was the only one missing it. Lol My kids and I are going to be working on this together. 💜
Thanks for sharing these great ideas, and the info about the organization needing the bookmarks!
I'll be making some and sending from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing this. I shared video. 🥰🐞😘
I am so excited for this! I have ideas and will have a little time this weekend for something quick! WOOHOO

Great project to use odds and ends of card stock and paper pads which I have boxes full of. Thank you for sharing this idea.
I'm on it! I have so much beautiful paper and this is a perfect cause. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Wow. You inspired me to do this. I never realized this existed. Thank you for this information. My daughter and I are making a batch to send and she shared the information with instructors at her swim school to do with their children's zoom classes.
Bookmarks are my thing. Getting right on it!
Thanks Maymay! Got a dozen in the mail today.
Loved them!!!!
How fun!!**What a great way to use up paper packs**Headed to my craft table ;-)
*Very nice with slip knot. Thank You for sharing. 🤗🤗🤗*
So funny, the first thing I thought about was using the Doors as book marks. And that was your 3rd idea. Love you Maymay.
Oh I love it! I’m also going to share it with my fellow Girl Scout leaders!

I love this idea Maymay!!
Count me in!
Love the door book marks.
Great idea to help them with bookmarks !!! I am just wondering if the colour on the stacked teacups could stain the bookpages...if it's so laminating would help.
Monique B. we use alcohol markers to color the images so it will not bleed or rub off on book pages,thanks great question
Loving this. I will make some to send to them.
This is in my neck of the woods. Pretty cool!
This is a great thing to do.😀😉😊
I made book marks a few days ago just fooling around with the 6x6 of that paper pack will finish them and get them out.
I will be making some!
Im am about to be off work for 6-8 weeks bc of a major surgery on Friday... and alot of paper and card stock I was about to donate... I can help
Prayers for a successful surgery and fast recovery!
Mailing 24 masculine bookmarks today.
Have you received enough or can we still make some. I am in South Africa, so posting may be delayed. When do you need it by?
I've tried several ways to find the information about the bookmarks and cannot? Nothing on their website to help me with the can and cannot. Please help
Red Miller www.maymaymadeit.com/blogs/news/calling-all-paper-crafters
There's information on the website for cards only not bookmarks.
The information for cards applies to the bookmarks as to what they will allow,check out the FAQ section
@@tamthaluehrs that's correct. It's all the same. We want encouraging bookmarks and these are going to help a wide array of people.
Just found this on Nov. 9 -- should I still send some bookmarks?
I don’t see the information about the bookmarks. Are they still looking for book marks?
Excited about this
So sorry closed captioning wasn't available for this video.
It was on mine, maybe try again...
I am sorry if i am just missing it but.... I went to their website and I saw information on making cards but nothing bookmark specific.
I agree - I've searched from the blog post and could find info about cards on their website, but nothing about bookmarks.
I know that she said that the request came out in their Instagram page. But not sure if the regulations are there too.
Nothing on Instagram either
