more bookmarks to share!
Last weekend I was on the “I NEED to use up some of my scraps” kick.
What do I do to use up scraps? I make bookmarks! They are the perfect way to use strips of paper. These ones here below are 7″x2″. I have LOTS of designer paper scraps. WAY too much. This is my way of using them up & creating something fun.
Can we discuss how CUTE this robot fella is? He was from a piece of designer paper. ADORABLE.
More fun boy-themed bookmarks…
I also tried to use up some colors of cardstock that are not my traditional style. (AKA bright SHOCKING pink). Stampin Up is retiring a bunch of colors so I figured I better make room for the new…! Here are some girly themed bookmarks…
You can find another post of mine with full video tutorial on making these bookmarks HERE. (I laminate them.) I sell them at my craft fairs for $2 each, and I can tell you they sell VERY well!
These are cute. Great functional way to use up your scraps.
Cute idea and a great way to use up scraps. Now I have to go and find a laminator!Love your ideas and thanks for sharing.
I can see why they sell so well.
Brilliant idea for scraps. I will try and make some this evening. Hey any chance of a tutorial on how to use a laminator ? Only joking ! I have one about 6 years. I’ll give it a go for the first time this weekend. How many would you normally make for a two day craft fair ?Thanks for sharing.
Hey, Kerry I should have watched the tutorial before I posted my last comment. You make laminating look so easy so I will definitely be attempting this tonight.
I LOVE the bird paper! So cute!!!
OMG these are soooooo Cute! Love those Robots, I’ve seen that paper somewhere … Hmmmm
Love the bookmarks! What a cute and quick idea! What brand is your laminator? After watching your video, I started thinking that it would be nice to own one. Any tips?
Hi Deanna - I have the GBC HeatSeal H312. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001B09626/jungl05-20
as for tips - it’s super simple to use. You just need to play with the settings of the heat to get the desired sealing on your cardstock. (it depends on the weight & thickness of the cardstock). I just tried it a few times before I found the setting that worked best for me.
Thanks to your brilliant tutorial, I made 70 bookmarks for charity fundraising this weekend. Love my laminating machine now.
Can you tell me where to find the Robot scrapbook paper? I NEED it for my preschool! Thanks!
hi Susan - I actually grabbed it at Michael’s - they still have it there. I just saw it just recently. I will try & find out the exact brand…!
Truly amazing. You are so creative!! You should try out for the My Pink Stamper Design team. Deadline is June 28th. I can see why you sold so much everything looked awesome.
