How to Make Magnetic Bookmarks with a Silhouette Cameo 📚 SMALL BUSINESS VLOGMAS DAY 6

[@paintedbymarianna]

Completely understandable to not giving away all your small business information, I remember Baylee Jae a few years ago shared where she got her pins from and everyone started using the same company, and then Baylee found that the quality of the product went down since so many people were using it and like you said were selling out. It’s good to know you’re limit on sharing information and never feel like it’s gatekeeping at all, especially since this is YOUR business!! ✨

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Yes!! Its sometimes hard to figure out what to share and what not to share because you want to be helpful but you also put a lot of time and research into finding materials yourself 🩷🩷

[@paintedbymarianna]

@@emilycromwelldesigns yup! Very understandable but you gotta look out for yourself too😎

[@SwagGiftsShop]

Thank you so much for showing us the entire process! I have a cricut but can still learn from this video; vertical and horizontal flip, paper type, magnet type, setting the printer to the correct paper being used. I never knew that was so important. Thank you for always smiling and being so positive and happy when you create these vlogs!! 💖 I love watching them.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’m so happy you found it helpful! Thank you so much for being here ☺️💖

Hi Emily! If you’re not a photoshop user can Canva be used to upload designs and make the bookmarks for that step?

I probably won't make these but loved watching the process! You are so kind for sharing your knowledge and technique with everyone💕 not many people would do that!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’m glad you enjoyed watching how they’re made!! I’m hoping it helps some people ☺️

[@dottyearnhardt9600]

Great video, thanks.

Gracias 🙏💝😘😘

[@dancer4life3450]

Hi Emily. Lovely work! Love your colorful designs. They are very pleasing to the eyes. Great professional looking products. Congrats on your success in your small business. I had a question, You don't laminate the magnetic bookmarks?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

No I don’t ☺️

[@rgdesignapparel-j6x]

Which machine is best for making stickers, Cricut or Silhouette? If a Silhouette, which Silhouette?🎉❤Please

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

When I used to do my own stickers I used my silhouette cameo!

[@TheStarfish9]

Hi Emily, thank you for the video. It was very informative. I make craft things for children and would love to make these with my Silhouette Cameo. However, as there are magnets do you have an idea how the magnets can be covered on the inside so they can’t be taken off the bookmark. Thank you very much. Anita

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I don’t think there’s any way to cover the magnets, as long as you have a strong adhesive backing they would be fine!

[@MarisaGross-e1r]

Hi Emily! If you’re not a photoshop user can Canva be used to upload designs and make the bookmarks for that step?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Possibly! I’ve never done that so I’m not 100% sure on that, I’m sorry!

[@Colecoleshop.6]

Thank you for your helpful video. And I wanted to ask if that glossy paper you used and do you ever put laminate paper?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

It’s lustre paper! I don’t laminate ☺️

[@vanessacollins3997]

T?he photo paper you have in your Amazon store is sized at 8 x 10 and it is satin but when you order the 8.5 x 11 is shows as glossy. Did you set your paper size in silhouette for that size, or did you have the 8 x 11 paper?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

The 8x10 is what I use for art prints, not magnetic bookmarks. When printing you’d change the paper size to make sure it’s set to 8x10 ☺️

[@jansokwaypnace1981]

I'm just curious how come you don't create your bookmarks completely in Silhouette?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

There’s lots of ways to set them up! This is just my personal favorite way ☺️

[@jansokwaypnace1981]

Thank you for your quick response. Your video was very helpful & well done 👍

[@AnneMarieVoegeli]

I'm so excited that you made this video!!!! I wanted to know how you did the magnetic bookmarks!! You are soooooooo much fun to watch!!!

It took me awhile but I finally got to it! 🤣🩷 I hope you enjoyed it and it was helpful! 🥰

I am struggling to find the luster paper 250 gsm that is pearl? Any suggestions as to where I can find this please?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Amazon!

[@kayb6009]

Ooops sorry I see where you dont share.....my bad.

[@carolannh48]

Great tutorial - thank you! I'd love to make some for my daughters at college! I thought you laminated them. I'll see if I can figure this out with my Cricut - thank you! 😍

[@cassie1728]

I’ve never heard of these before and as a book lover who has her bookmarks always falling out I love this! Thank you!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

They definitely come in handy! ☺️

[@candlegirl1973]

So cute!! Thanks for sharing. Would you mind doing a video on how you make the stickers? I appreciate you and I love your videos!!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Sure thing! The kiss cut sticker sheet ones? ☺️

[@candlegirl1973]

@emilycromwelldesigns yes please. Thank you so much Emily!!

[@barbwiredesigns2023]

I use the same photo paper, but mine is 150gsm and I laminate mine with a thin laminate, make s them last longer.

[@mandydandy86]

Beautiful 🤩 thanks for sharing!!

[@lindaashford7187]

Can you show us how you actually do your designs - the drawing side of things please, thanks. ❤

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I draw everything in procreate! I did a video a few months ago showing my drawing process! I think it was called Creating art everyday ☺️

[@moonbookishhippie]

I've been wanting to make some magnetic bookmarks and this was so incredibly helpful! Thank you for sharing.

This is fantastic, its lovely ❤❤❤

[@DraNchan]

Hi, thank you for sharing ^^ I hope to make some magnetic bookmarks next year myself~ I thought people used the type of magnet sheets that can be cut with scissors to shape, but that sure would add an extra step~ I'm curious - how often do you change the blade in your Silhouette? I'm procrastination on swapping mine, even though I see the cut starting to look a bit jaggy :P

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I usually have to change them out once every few months! ☺️

[@lorraineholland697]

Great video. Most of the magnetic bookmark videos I've watched the printed page is laminated before cutting. I noticed you did not do that. Is this because of the photo paper you used?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

No, I just don’t like laminated magnetic bookmarks personally so I don’t laminate mine ☺️

[@erikaleyva2844]

Thanks for sharing your tips! So nice of you to, and let me tell you, you do get addicted to designing although I am Not an artist myself but I still get to get creative! Thanks!!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful ☺️

[@hulafriends297]

Great video. Thank you. Is there any reason you prefer the Silhouette Cameo over Cricut? I have neither right now, so just wondering. Love the tutorial. If I get around to making a bookmark, I will send you one.😊 I will have that on my to do list next year. Love the video.❤

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’ve actually never used a cricut! So I’ve only ever owned a silhouette ☺️ and yesss I’d love to see how it comes out when you make one! 🩷

[@DuluthTW]

How long did it take you to figure out the best way to use, and the appropriate settings for, the Cameos? I don't think I would have been able to tolerate all the trial and error needed. Thanks for sharing!

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

When I first got a cameo it took me I think three days of trial and error and being on chat support with a silhouette cameo support agent to help me. It was hard in the beginning!

[@molliedavis7277]

Also, you just convinced me to switch to a cameo from cricket. I’m going to buy it from your Amazon list, hopefully you get a commission. 🎉

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Ahh thank you! And I think you’ll really like it! I’ve never used a cricut but I’ve owned and used silhouette cameos for so many years now, I can’t imagine life without them!

[@imsvlogs3723]

I recently started watching you and oooohhh myyyyy gooodd I love your videos it’s soooo therapeutic like I’m begging on brainstorming on what I would love to start a small business! And I’m so thankful I found you!! Like I literally finished watching all your video! 😂literally my bf even distracted then start watching your videos with me ❤️

[@megant4091]

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's very helpful! Do you have any suggestions on where to get the bigger backing cards?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Either local print shops or print shops online, there’s a bunch of options! 🩷

[@Outfolded]

Thank you for sharing with us! I just started making magnetic bookmarks and am already so in love with the process ❤

[@a.george7730]

What a fun video! I could make magnetic bookmarks all day long and they would never turn out like yours because your artwork is what makes your bookmarks super cute. Also, just wanted to say that I purchased some items from your shop on Black Friday and I love everything I bought-the quality is fantastic. I appreciate your insistence on quality products! P.S.- I have the exact Canon printer as you have and I love mine too. It is specially designed to accept thicker craft papers from the rear feed.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I’m so happy you loved your Black Friday order!! 🥹🩷 and I’m glad you found the video to be helpful ☺️

Hi, can you share what camera you use for your vlogs? Thanks

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I have it linked in my video descriptions! ☺️

[@lesliehenson5524]

Thanks for the video - Super excited to try these out. On the hunt for magnets that are strong enough, but don't add a bunch of bulk. About how many pages would be expected to be able to go between the magnets and still stick well enough?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

I don’t think there’s really a set number of pages! 🩷

[@lesliehenson5524]

@@emilycromwelldesigns you're welcome! You're like Baylee Jae. I always watch her alot.

[@vidotter]

Thank you 😊😮 wow

[@MarinaNekhamin]

Just curious, if you’ve ever done just the off set and welded the offset and image vs using the trace and offset function? I was very fascinated watching your technique in silhouette studio, just was curious if the “trace” was necessary as I make stickers and only use the offset function for my cut lines. 😊

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

No I haven’t! My program won’t offset unless there’s a trace line so I always do that first ☺️

[@MarinaNekhamin]

Thank you for sharing, I use silhouette studios also, so I’m always fascinated by other’s technique with the program 😊

[@molliedavis7277]

Wouldn’t it be easier to add a stroke in photoshop?

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

This is just the way that works best for me! Everyone’s style will be a little different ☺️

[@deniserichardson7769]

Great tutorial!!!! Do more. Not sure if you are aware - but if you don't have a borderless printer you can adjust the registration inset marks using the "advance options to get more room on your page. You can change the left, top and right inset, but leave the bottom at 625.

[@emilycromwelldesigns]

Good tip for those without a borderless printer! ☺️
