@@juliepeat4402 Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to me. I’m so grateful for your support and encouragement-it keeps me inspired. Wishing you all the best too!💕
Wow you put a lot of thought and detail to each one of them. God always blesses His children. And I wish you many customers and much success. They are all so beautiful. ❤
I'm a preschool teacher. I can sadly confirm that the laminate won't last. When laminating paper it's best to cut out your items, lay them on the laminating sheet with room on each side, laminate them and then cut them with a bit of lamination hanging off on each side. You'll see a bit of a "bubble" around the paper. DON'T CUT THAT CLOSE! If you cut into the bubble, the paper is no longer protected from liquids and the lamination will come undone in that area. The way you did it also leaves the paper vulnerable to liquids. If this was something someone was going to hang on their wall or decorate their mirror, I'd say you could get away with the way you did it. It wouldn't be used daily and only for decoration. But a bookmark is usually used a lot. It will slide out of your book a little and the ends will get battered by the contents of your purse/bag and the laminate will DEFINATELY tear off the paper in a couple weeks of use. I'm not trying to attack or shame, I'm just trying to share some tidbits of wisdom I've learned. 😅 They are very cute though! I love the one with oranges on it. ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience with laminating, it's great to know about that! You make a good point about the lifespan for bookmark use. 😊 I will experiment on it and try your suggestions. 💕 Thank you!
This is correct! I laminate a lot for work and if the plastic is separated by the paper and then cut through, it will eventually come apart (if not immediately) because the edge isn’t sealed. BTW, Your bookmarks are super cute! Thanks for a great video 🥰
@fluffy3049 I found that out the hard way. Now I just order different sized bookmark laminating pouches and make my paper about 1/8 to 1/4 smaller than the bookmark.
@@twinpaperstudio as your bookmarks are the same width, mark on your puncher with a washi tape or marker where to align the bookmark so that the hole is in the middle
I enjoy making handmade bookmarks for my friends. I use watercolor paper and hand lettering on top of the watercolor paint. I also hand make the tassels. It is a lot of work and time. I appreciate the work that goes into this. Yours are beautiful. Thank you for sharing how you do it with digital art. Bookmarks make a great gift. I like to personalize them with calligraphy and the name of the person on one side with art or inspiring quotes on the other. I appreciate the video. Thank you!
Firstly, absolutely beautiful! You’ve put so much into presentation, it’s more of a gift than a purchase ❤️ Secondly, I took a look at your Etsy store and was shocked at the prices… how on earth do you make any money when this much time, effort and resources go into it?
Thank you for your support! I appreciate your thoughts! I’ve set my prices to focus on building trust and a customer base, but I agree that I’ll need to reevaluate as demand and experience grow. Your feedback is super valuable to me! 🙏🏼
Interesting and good information. Last year and the prior year, my sister needed multiple orders of bookmarks for charity and to share with people in her church. I had created doodles and she developed what text should be on the bookmarks. I don't know the exact count, but I printed and made over 200 bookmarks. I even shared some with friends here. While I tried to post them to sell online, I never sold any. But making the ones for my sister was quite an adventure and learning experience. I may venture to create more and share them with friends and family after watching your video. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks for sharing your story and watching my video! It’s inspiring to hear about your experience with bookmark making! It’s really special if you know you made it by hands and from scratch! Keep going! 😇💕
I’ve always found it best to count of any image to be laminated and then laminate it. If not remember when laminating you are putting something between two protective barriers if you break the barriers by cutting to the edge the two will eventually separate because your item is not sealed in. Just so food for thought. Well done and keep up the great work. ❤
Very beautiful work, but it seems very time consuming for not enough profit. I do enjoy your soothing voice, and just watching your video is quite relaxing. The postcards are a classy touch, and I absolutely love the cardboard holder; very clever.
Thanks so much!💕 yeah,, the process is time-consuming! It takes a lot of work to create each bookmark, but I enjoy the process and find it very fulfilling. 😊
It is so nice to see the gratitude you have with each order. The love, care and detail you put into wrapping and getting your orders ready to post. Congratulations and wishing you continued success!
Truly a labor of love. Kind of you to share tips on how to make them, never realized how much work goes into creating them. Best wishes for your business. First time here, much enjoyed.
Your kind words just made my day! It’s a joy to share the process, and I’m so glad you found it interesting. Thank you for your wishes and for stopping by-I truly appreciate it! 💕
You are so blessed with a gift from God, and are sharing and blessing others! I as well as my Mother and two sisters, all paper-craft / scrapbook….. we mostly make hand made greeting cards, but also make small party favors, thank you gifts, bookmarks, banners, and much more….. I’ve been told many times that I should sell items and run a business…… you have opened my heart to considering it…. I have been using my skills to work in various school settings, church events, and scouting while my kids were young….. now they are away at colleges….. I need a new purpose / goal to paper craft for? You inspired me 🙏🏼❤️
I loved your video. I was looking up how to start an Etsy store with bookmarks, postcards, hand drawn envelopes with greeting cards. Found your video and loved it. You’re an inspiration. Thank you very much.❤
Aww! Thanks so much!! It truly means a lot that you got inspired by my video. Sending love & luck and wishing you all the best on your upcoming Etsy store.🙏🏼💕 Go for it! 🤗
Thank you for sharing your journey. You have such a soft and soothing voice and you did a wonderful job with the video as well as the cards. Congratulations on your big order!
What a great video! It was really interesting to see how you make them etc. It seems like I'm always looking for a bookmark, I'd love to support your business and order from you. Thanks for sharing.🤩
Beautiful from start to finish! I love that you recognize the importance of packaging and do it so well. I've received packed goods from makers that make me tingle, they are so beautifully packaged.
I'm Japanese, but I saw your video because it was recommended to me! It's a really nice piece! The packaging is also very careful and impressive! Thank you for your hard work!🥰
I love your added touches!! Your video is so sweet!! I am looking to do something of the same here in the U.S. Retired and needing to just add an a bit more income without having to go back to work. Would love to know more details. I’m going to watch your video again and see if I can’t do the same myself. Thank you so much for sharing! Your hard work has paid off!!

I just watched a video about making the packaging a memorable experience. Opening the package should be as exciting as getting the item. You definitely meet that expectation. I love the hand written note.
Hi Rea, you just came up in my recommended :) I love your style and you are inspiring me to get painting! I’ve liked , subscribed and am off to have a look at your bookmarks on Etsy! Have a lovely weekend . Kathy from London, UK💐
Hi Kathy! Thanks sooo much for watching my video and placing an Etsy order! You made my day and I’m so happy right now! Your support means a lot! 🫶 Working on your orders now! ❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely message. It means so much to me! May God bless you and your endeavors beyond measure in this new year. I truly appreciate your kind heart!🙏🏼💕
First of all Thank you so much for posting this honest process of creation. I am doing the same. I lol when I heard you explaining the learning curve of creation, because I have been doing the same. It brought me joy to know that even though I am aware of this, there are others going through the same process of original creation. I take particular care in my design and presentation. I worked in retail for over 25 yrs selling other companies designs and was successful at it. I decided 4 months ago to branch out and present my own creations for sale. Your artwork, designs and presentation packaging is beautiful and very well done. Putting your heart in your work is the best. You have both inspired my resolve and creativity. Much success for the future. ❤
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your story! 💕 You’re not alone, haha! I’ve had countless mistakes but all part of the learning curve. It's so inspiring to hear you are also pursuing your own creative business. All the best to you and your business and I really appreciate your time and effort to comment on my small channel. May God bless you always!🙏🏼
Thank you so much for such a calming, informative video. I gave up on the 2 sided printing with silhouette. I will try your suggestion. I hope your business continues to flourish!
May the Lord Jesus Christ continue blessing all the works of your hands. They are all beautiful, well done. Every mistake makes you better at your work. So mistakes are always learning opportunities. Thank you for sharing. ♥️🙏🏻♥️
More orders to come for you in 2025! I was initially going to make today another lazy day, but this made me pick up my tab and start working again haha. Thank you for the motivation! 🌞💛
I really enjoyed watching this! Thank you for taking us along with you! Can I share a laminating tip that I learned the hard way? You might already know this. I cut my laminating pouches in half, so that one half had the sealed edge and the other half was two loose sheets. Then I tried to laminate using the two loose sheets that werent sealed together at one edge, and they got rolled up in my laminator and almost ruined the machine! I realised that I shouldnt have inserted the two unjoined layers into the machine, I should always insert a sealed joined edge to avoid this! This meant that the other half of my pouch was useless, and any other off-cuts I had made were useless too, but using those pieces wasnt worth the risk of damaging my machine permanently. You probably already know this but I thought I should mention it just in case 😊 Wishing you all the best and may God guide and bless your business ❤❤
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! So far I’ve never had an issue with laminating 2 loose sheets, I had an issue before because I thought i could laminate without the bottom 😂 ended up buying a new laminator. I will keep it in mind and will be more careful. Not sure why yours rolled up, could be the type of laminating sheet, but I appreciate this, thanks for the heads up! All the best to you too! 🙏🏼
@@twinpaperstudio 😊 hmmm, I wonder if we are both referring to the same thing. What you call the "bottom" of the laminating pouch is what I call the "sealed edge". Using two loose sheets of laminating that aren't sealed together (or that dont have a bottom) can risk damaging the machine. I hope that makes sense! Anyhow, your bookmarks look absolutely stunning! 👍🤩
Amazon actually sells bookmark sized laminate sheets in packs of 100. All you have to do is precut the bookmark, stick it in the sheet, then laminate each bookmark individually. I get the 5 mil. It works better with cardstock. There are multiple brands.
Hi Rea, I'm so happy for you!!! I really loved the video Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us. Being an entrepreneur is not easy, but when we have a goal, we will definitely get where we want to go. Happy 2025 😍

Great job girl. I have been thinking of making bookmarks recently for business. Suddenly this video pops. What a Divine timing. May God Bless you with more succes❤
Absolutely enjoyed watching this process, you have really inspired me! I’ve been stuck for a focus regarding all my recent painting and artistic ideas and this truly helps. Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻
Rea, your video and etsy shop are beautiful, I've been in business a long time, and people will purchase from you as the quality is excellent. Before you carry on, you really do need to address your prices, sadly if the product is to cheap, people will think the quality is poor. Sending you all the love from Wales uk❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words and valuable advice! 🙏🏼❤️It means a lot to hear this from someone with experience in the business. I’ll definitely keep your suggestion in mind-really appreciate your support..it keeps me motivated! Sending love back to you in Wales! 🫶
I just found you. I’ve just started making bookmarks from my artwork & your video popping up was perfect timing. I love how you made the band to slip the bookmark in. I love your artwork & I just subscribed. BTW your voice is so calming to listen to💕
Aw! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my video. I'm really happy you love the bookmark band, I think it makes them extra special! 😊 My voice? really? Haha! Thank u! At first, it felt cringy hearing my own voice but I got used to it!😅
Those were really beautiful book marks and so nicely produced and packaged with thought and care. Lord bless this lady who is sharing your scripture in an abundant way in Jesus Name Amen 🙏✝️
💕 beautiful. if you want to see where to punch the holes, just flip the punch, bottom up (and remove the cover) this way you can make a little mark and see where to punch exactly. only downside, the punched confetti wont be collected by the punch. 💕
3:05 we have the same bedsheets Also, what if you just printed 1 style of bookmark on a page, so that the back, you can just do a large background block. When the silhouette cuts out the bookmark from the front, there will be a background. There will be slight waste of ink, but it reduces alignment error n may save on paper n ink altogether. ...it ended up being cut by hand
What a lovely humble softly spoken lady, so relaxing to listen to. I wish you well in your business.❤

You can remove the bottom cover off your puncher to see where the hole is. All the cover does is keep the little circles from falling all over.

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! So far I’ve never had an issue with laminating 2 loose sheets, I had an issue before because I thought i could laminate without the bottom 😂 ended up buying a new laminator. I will keep it in mind and will be more careful. Not sure why yours rolled up, could be the type of laminating sheet, but I appreciate this, thanks for the heads up! All the best to you too! 🙏🏼
@@twinpaperstudio 😊 hmmm, I wonder if we are both referring to the same thing. What you call the "bottom" of the laminating pouch is what I call the "sealed edge". Using two loose sheets of laminating that aren't sealed together (or that dont have a bottom) can risk damaging the machine. I hope that makes sense!
Anyhow, your bookmarks look absolutely stunning! 👍🤩
Amazing story / your bookmarks are so beautifull /you are so talented / happy 2025 / best wishes to you and your family
Thank you! You too! 💕
Amazon actually sells bookmark sized laminate sheets in packs of 100. All you have to do is precut the bookmark, stick it in the sheet, then laminate each bookmark individually. I get the 5 mil. It works better with cardstock. There are multiple brands.
Ooh, that’s a great tip! I appreciate you sharing that! 🙏🏼💕
Your bookmarks are so beautiful.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked them!💕
So pretty! 😍
Thanks so much!❤️

Rea, your video and etsy shop are beautiful, I've been in business a long time, and people will purchase from you as the quality is excellent.
Before you carry on, you really do need to address your prices, sadly if the product is to cheap, people will think the quality is poor. Sending you all the love from Wales uk❤️

I just found you. I’ve just started making bookmarks from my artwork & your video popping up was perfect timing. I love how you made the band to slip the bookmark in. I love your artwork & I just subscribed. BTW your voice is so calming to listen to💕
Aw! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my video. I'm really happy you love the bookmark band, I think it makes them extra special! 😊 My voice? really? Haha! Thank u! At first, it felt cringy hearing my own voice but I got used to it!😅
Those were really beautiful book marks and so nicely produced and packaged with thought and care. Lord bless this lady who is sharing your scripture in an abundant way in Jesus Name Amen 🙏✝️
Thank you for your kind words💕 I enjoyed packing them! 🙏🏼
@ I pray you will be blessed abundantly with all the luv you put into those book marks 🙏🛐
💕 beautiful. if you want to see where to punch the holes, just flip the punch, bottom up (and remove the cover) this way you can make a little mark and see where to punch exactly. only downside, the punched confetti wont be collected by the punch. 💕
Thanks so much! Your tip is awesome, i will try that! Thanks for the help! 🙏🏼
Congratulations ❤
@@StudyMarnie thanks so much!💕

Congratulations on the orders! 😊
@Plantventions thanks a lot! 💕
3:05 we have the same bedsheets
Also, what if you just printed 1 style of bookmark on a page, so that the back, you can just do a large background block.
When the silhouette cuts out the bookmark from the front, there will be a background. There will be slight waste of ink, but it reduces alignment error n may save on paper n ink altogether.
...it ended up being cut by hand
Yes, i did this, my background is slightly larger for cutting mistakes in case. Thanks for your suggestions and for your support 🙏🏼
Just subscribed! Absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the good work. My clothing line launches soon 🙏
Thanks so much! 💕 Goodluck and all the best on your launch!🙏🏼❤️
Thank you 🙏
