Right!? I love how cutting a new material suddenly brings forth many ideas for inspiration! This was my first time cutting magnets as well, it's nice to see it works well!
I got all of my cricut machines in January and watch so many of your videos that I make! You have taught me so much. You stay calm and patient and people who get anxious you are the perfect person to go to for learning from start. I made monograms with wine tumblers yesterday with my best friends monogramed I learned from your video and one goody I'm adding inside of her wine tumbler are a few of these book marks! I look forward from learning more from you! Thank you!
@@Bethadilly Thank you!! You inspire me! I want to learn how to layer vinyl on, Im pretty new with vinyl do you have a video for beginners for layering vinyl?
I am going to make these for our granddaughter! Maybe for our twin grandsons when they get a little older! After last weekend choking on a chip not giving them anything they can choke on. Still have not got that picture out of my mind yet! Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
How cute! Such a great idea...I have some cricut magnets sheets that I’ve had for awhile that I’ll have to check out for this project. I agree that these will make a great gift and adding a book makes it a “perfect” gift. I think I’ll gift some to my Bible Study members. I haven’t read any books since March probably because life has been so hectic for my family. I’m going to get back on track....
Bought Deluxe paper and had no idea what to do with it too! Thank you for the suggestion. I now have my next project to keep me busy during quarantine.
I really enjoyed this video and it was very helpful! I’m going to make these on my Cricut Maker 3. I too had purchased some Cricut Joy sticky paper over a year ago. Thank you for the great idea and thank your husband too!
Hi Bethany, as a newcomer I really appreciate your videos. They are so clear and helpful. I do have a Cricut Joy and as I love these bookmarks, I would love to know if there is ANY way at all I can make them with my machine. Thanks!
So cute! But . . I wish you had posted this 2 weeks ago, I literally just bought some for my planner, oh well LOL. My sister and I are going up to her mountain house next weekend for a sisters crafting weekend and this will definitely be on my list of crafts to do, can't wait to make these for Christmas stocking stuffers and for co-workers. Thank you for another great idea. I read constantly, and multiple books at a time, but I agree I need to have very different books, they can't be the same type of story.
Yes, Hyla! The stories have to be very different in order for me to read multiple books at once! I am glad you enjoyed this craft! Have a wonderful craft weekend, that sounds blissful!
Those little magnetic bookmarks are so adorable. As much as I love my little Joy some of your videos such as this one kind of make me wish that I did have a bigger machine as well hopefully one day I will. I can't wait to see what projects you come up with to do on the joy using that paper. I keep debating on buying it evertime I look on Amazon for supplies but I keep deciding against it cause I'm not really sure what I would use the paper for.
@@Bethadilly I definitally want to get some but I don't want to buy it without knowing what I can use it for with my little Joy it Will just end up sitting in a drawer or something until I do find a use for it and I dont want that to happen.
These are really cute and a great idea. I have a Cricut Joy, so I am very interested to see what else you do with the adhesive paper as I also bought it.
Would like to try this idea but wondering if the magnetic sheets will adhere to each other once the bookmark is folded? Could you please post the link for the magnetic sheets that will work?
What i used to do for my daughter was to put magnetic paper dolls, sized down to fit a plastic bookmark sleeve and she would have a change of clothes on the back side and a few accessories. Every time she got a new bookmark it would have a new outfit only the bookmark itself would be like a dressmakers mannequin or a zoomed in dress shop window with a different mannequin in that one, and so on. Eventually it really became a full out book just for her to be able to have them all and try them all. I did 2 dolls because her best friend was this little adorable little black kid but he didn't want a boy doll so we made 2 girls 🤷 and they had the best outfits. His mom makes all sorts of wild accessories anyway so they always came back with crazy fun ideas to add to the dolls and his mom did a few of the book pages we made the kids that xmas. It totally got out of hand 😆 but i bet they're both tickled pink when i bust out with those books at the baby shower one day (they're only 13 right now tho. So no rush! 😆😆)
I love to watch your video and you gave me a great idea for the kids when I return to pre-k class. I was wondering if this would work to put paper on both sides of the magnets. I have used adhesive backed magnetic sheet from MIchaels. I also would've loved for you to use the joy and either one of your cricuts. Again thank you for provoking new ideas.
Glad this inspired you! I wouldn't recommend placing paper on both sides, as it won't then magnetize as well to the page of the book. In my opinion, the magnetic sheets aren't strong enough to go through additional paper layers. But that is based on my opinion, with the sheets I am using. Hope this helps!
I didn't, but I just went to my little pile of bookmarks that I made and that original one that didn't work is now suddenly magnetizing just fine after I left it pressed together for a few days. Magnets can be so funny, but I'd still recommend my process of one on top, one on bottom just to be sure!
Very cute idea! Quick question, do you find the adhesive back of the paper that is in the gap (between the magnets) attracts lint, fluff or puppy hairs?
That's a great question and something I thought about, as well. I don't think it will be a huge problem because 99% of the time the magnetic will be closed and not laying open. Even when not in use, I find that mine are always closed. However, if you want (and if you are using adhesive backed magnets) you could always place a tiny strip of tape on that section before putting the magnets on the paper so it is no longer sticky. As always, you could also use regular paper without the adhesive as well!
Such a great idea! These would make nice little add on gifts at Christmas. And I have to ask. Where did you get the adorable flowers for the Cricut? I’m all about pink roses! 🌹
Oh, I love the idea of an add on gift for Christmas! Plus, you can make so many of these very quickly! I think you are talking about the flowers I decorated my machine with and, if so, here is a tutorial of me doing so! ruclips.net/video/0M0KI9Gy9mM/видео.html
Love these! Mother of boys, so I will be using the Star Wars card stock I purchased! They love to read, as do I.... On that note, what are the books you are currently reading?!
Oh, I LOVE the idea of using the Star Wars cardstock for a fun print! Your boys will love that! My Bible study group introduced me to the author Francine Rivers, who writes amazing historical Christian fiction. I just finished "The Masterpiece" recently and am currently on the third and final book of the "Mark of the Lion" series of hers. All have been beautifully written and I am slowly working my way through all of her books!
Thank you so much for these!!! I really wish I could make some but as of right now I only own the Joy but my goal is the Maker come next tax season lol as I do a lot of sewing besides crafting. I just started reading a lot myself all thanks to the Author Anna Todd for her After series that I’ve read all books and loved so I’m more into young adult romance novels then anything and would have lived to make one of these to use instead of my old bookmark but for now I’ll see what else I can make with my Joy! Thanks again for the fun video 🥰
@@Bethadilly thanks for your response! Totally asked before I finished watching the video. I was too excited! 🤣🤣 these are adorable- I can’t wait to buy everything to make them!
I’m the same about reading books at the same time - have to be totally different. I have a book account on IG (@nerdoutwithmybookout) and recently bought my Cricut maker. Having too much fun making all the bookish things!
I recently purchased a Cricut and never thought about making bookmarks. Do you think it would work if I put the adhesive paper on the magnets before having Cricut cut it? Like....If I left them both in a rectangular shape and just put one on top of the other?
I believe so, it would just be about then finding the right cut setting that would cut successfully and cleanly through both at the same time. I’d recommend cutting separately.
I really liked the watercolour patterns and decals thAt you use . But the joy can't print and cut so I find the patterns on Google and print them on printable vinyl and then use them as pattern vinyl, which could work too
FYI: about 10-15 years ago I had a magnetic bookmark I had purchased, and the magnet was the same size as the paper. The magnet was folded in the middle.
shout to Bethadilly hubby!!
Aren’t these just darling!! I’ve never cut magnets. So excited to try this; so many ideas.
Right!? I love how cutting a new material suddenly brings forth many ideas for inspiration! This was my first time cutting magnets as well, it's nice to see it works well!
@@Bethadilly I don't see the link for the magnet sheets.

I agree! I am always looking for smaller items around Christmas and these would be perfect!

Your granddaughter will love them and you can use some fun paper that she would like!

What a fantastic idea!! This would such a cute idea in a gift bag
I agree! Glad you enjoyed this!
Awesome and very good idea - this concept can and will be used for larger magnetic projects too.... thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!

I love these for my knitting machine patterns. Thank you so much. I was wondering when will you be doing more sublimation projects.
These turned out so cute!
Thank you, Cathy! I really love these, as well!
Omg Bethany!! Soooo pretty!! Will do this 4 sure!!!! Thanks ❤️
Such a great idea .... so easy to place in a greeting card and send the mail to a friend! 💞💞💞
Exactly! And now, to craft some cute cards for these little bookmarks to be mailed with!

Yay! I just received my order of additional paper so I will be doing more tutorials with this material very soon!
I have a joy also and was just going to cut the magnets with scissors!
What a great gift idea! Thank you again Bethany. 💜
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed this, Sylvie!
Oh my! What a fantastic idea x
Ooooh! I have just managed to find your exact supplies for delivery today on amazon ☺️ x
@@handmadebyjacqui Woo hoo! Amazon for the win!
Can I use a Circut Joy ?
Such a good idea! 👍I will definitely do it
I’m so glad!
I cannot get this magnet paper to stick to each other - magnetize. What am I doing wrong? I bought the same kind.
Well I'm going to use my joy cuz I did buy it cuz its easier to carry around
Great Idea!!! Love it!!!!
Thank you!

Did you try flipping the 'dud' magnet over? It might stick the other way, then you could cover the exposed magnets.

I’ve read that series as well, years ago!
I have a maker. Does the adhesive paper that says Cricut joy work on a maker as well?
It is just a sticky backed cardstock so you could easily use the Maker. :)

The software demonstrated in all my tutorials is Cricut Design Space.
@@Bethadilly Thanks so much! 💕😊

That is a very fun and creative idea! Love it! But also remember that the Joy cannot cut the magnetic sheets portion of this craft.
@@Bethadilly yes thats fine im going to cut them with a craft knife
FYI: about 10-15 years ago I had a magnetic bookmark I had purchased, and the magnet was the same size as the paper. The magnet was folded in the middle.
Why can’t you use thinner paper? Why do you have to use cardstock? Just wondering.
Because it bends at the top and thicker cardstock with be stronger in that aspect. Thinner paper won't hold up.
My husband gave me a Symphony for Christmas and I have no clue how to use it
