I love this video, where did you get your designs?? Sorry I’m new to all of this! Thank you 😊

[@elianaaristizabal7401]

I love this DIY thank you for sharing! Quick question- Do you have the same printer for sublimation and another for printing these types of projects?

[@DIYholic]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed! 💛 Yes, I have two Epson EcoTank printers. One for regular inkjet printing like these projects and the other I converted into a sublimation printer ☺️

[@deeholmes7891]

I noticed the backside of the magnet is backwards. Do you leave it this way or is there a technique to fix that so it still matches in shape?

[@imanijackson7090]

This video was very helpful! Only thing is I ordered the paper suggested and laminated it but it was a little flimsy to me. I will try a card stock next time and use the laminate sheets

[@jeangrandy8672]

How do you know how big to make your images? Did you get these images from design space?? Love love love this!!!!!❤😊

[@wickedwayz414]

I love this! I only have 1 question? How do you handle the text being on the opposite side? It doesn't switch to a mirrored version with the flip.

[@neim.4836]

Can we please get a response to this question?

[@higharts_studio]

She just vertically flipped them in DS! ☺️

[@TheMomOf2Gr8Kids]

Yes, but the text is still flipped since it doesn't mirror. I mirrored my text by flipping it vertical then horizontal, but now the image doesn't line up. @wickedwayz414 @neim.4836@@higharts_studio

[@CreativelyAsia]

Flip the top image horizontally and vertically to make it readable from both sides

[@ItsjustmeAR]

the reason she only flips vertically is so the cut lines line up perfectly. No text images or bookmarks on shapes (vs offsets to text) can be flipped horizontally without issues to lining up front and back.

[@jennieray5972]

what paper would you use for Laserjet? Same kind of photo paper?

[@blueeyedbraniac]

When I send my grouping to back it is just white no image, can you tell me what may be wrong?

[@suchadivaas]

[@DIYholic]

Thank you!! I hope you found it helpful 💛

Nice. Where do you download the svgs from?

[@Lisalittleones]

Where did you purchase your images? They are so cute :)

[@shatarag.6545]

Hi do you use the ink that came with the printer?

[@famous99]

Great tutorial. When I flip the text, it reads backward. How do you make sure the text is readable on both sides?

[@jeangrandy8672]

Mine does the same thing!

[@kourtney974]

You have to also click Flip Horizontally!!

[@jasmindrace]

@@kourtney974but then it doesn’t match the other side 😢

[@liliancollins3627]

So you do ur design inside a shape wouldn't you

[@goddessflower4018]

Instead of flipping, click rotate 180 in the box next to the size

[@feliciawilkins315]

Can u use card stock?

[@alejandrasolis-perez438]

I’ve been looking for a tutorial for this!!!! Question: what happens if you flatten right away instead of welding first?

[@DIYholic]

I hope you found it helpful!! 💛 Great question, if you were to flatten the group first it would cut through the different elements separately. For example, each bookmark had a few elements (the images, offsets, the small rectangle shape) so it would cut through all at the same time resulting in a not functional bookmark shape. Hope this made sense 😊

[@danadraghetti4082]

I love your video and instructions. I ordered the magnets that you linked. They are so strong they won’t stay stuck to the bookmark 😖 lol

[@ruthrod5509]

Did u glued with the dots?

[@debraallison3498]

Love this but I can’t bring my print then cut image forward after I unite. I can flatten though.

[@user-im4rr3sg5k]

did you use laminating sheets or just the vinyl

[@yoomneryrosario5670]

👌👌👌gracias por compartirlo

[@DIYholic]

De nada! 💛

[@emeliagomez9959]

​@@DIYholic hello. Thank you for this video. I had a question, I used all the material you recommended. But mine came out cut but flimsy. Kind of bent around the edges. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. They just seem thin. I just started using my cricut and I'm just so confused. Any help I'd appreciate. Thank you

[@jane4694]

Great tutorial! But I do have a question, how are you able to select the 3 elements the offset and the square? I'm having trouble with that? Any advice

[@brothersgrimm1230]

Click on the first top layer, hold shift and click the last layer in the list you want to select, this should select them all. Hope this helps :)

[@sewshae2971]

Your video explains things very well. I am interested making some to sell do I need to make them stronger or is it ok sell like this?

[@DIYholic]

These photo paper sheets are very sturdy compared to using 60lb cardstock, as long as you laminate them they would be great to sell them as is! ☺️

[@nicoleallmendinger7902]

I love this!! This may be a silly question, but this printer is using regular ink for this project, right?

[@DIYholic]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!! Not at all but correct I used a regular Inkjet printer ☺️

[@erickamitterhofer264]

Hi! I love this craft- I am trying to purchase the things you linked and I just wanted to confirm that the glue dots you're using are the "0.39 Inch/ 10 mm)". Is that right? Thank you again!

[@DIYholic]

Thank you! Glad you liked it ☺️ The adhesive dots I used were the 0.24 inch/6mm since it will fit just right on the 8mm magnets. Thank you for pointing that out, I will be adding a note of the size on the description 💛

[@73jess]

I'm new to the Cricut. Where do you find the photos that you uploaded? Or do you create them yourselves?

[@nicolerodriguez553]

I love this tutorial!!! I’m going to try even though my Cricut always does something to mess up my stickers. Either doesn’t scan registration marks or cuts out of line even though I calibrate it 😭! Nevertheless thank you for this ❤️

[@lovelyfabian6607]

Hi Nicole! You can put magic tape all the corners lines basically you are going to make a square of tape. So the line don't be shiny and the machine can read it. Mine do the same thing whenever I used photo paper. So I find out this hack and it works for me. I hope it can be helpful! Let me know how it goes 😊.

[@Princess-vh8qr]

What printer do you recommend?

[@shatiffahbeanaland8819]

Can I use cardstock instead it’s cheaper and comes in a larger quantity

[@shatiffahbeanaland8819]

What printer did you use

[@shatiffahbeanaland8819]

What settings did you use

[@jordandunne9202]

How do you calibrate the machine when you cut at the end?

[@jenniferromero6986]

Are the magnets too strong? Are they hard to pull apart from each other?

[@shatiffahbeanaland8819]

Were all those images in cricut design space???

[@deannadabs7936]

What size magnets are they. And what width please

Great video and easy to understand and follow. I did notice the other side of bookmarkers your words are backwards..any tips on how to fix that?

[@torifraire1777]

I was thinking the same, any advice?

[@kerteeveeyuh]

She said to flip vertically. When she was showing the steps that what she did. But in a later clip you can see that they aren’t the same way anymore. You would just flip horizontally as well. That fixes the issue

[@Mizzpuertorican11]

This is awesome thank you for sharing! Did you have to subscribe to cricut access or whatever it is called or can you do this for free using design space (I believe this is the name of the free software for cricut) if you could clarify that would truly appreciated thank you so much your designs came out so beautiful ❤❤❤

Where do you get the images? I want to make them to sell but I’m not sure where to start.

[@amychamberlain-me2er]

where di i find these please just starting out

[@haylareads]

where do u find the designs?

[@TheMaelenamarchenaj]

Thanks so much! Question: I see that they are printed on both sides but from my perspective it seemed the back side printed backwards and only one side was readable. Is that true or is it readable both sides?

[@DIYholic]

You are welcome! Correct, only one side is readable and the other is mirrored. The reason for that is because one of the images needs to be flipped vertically so both ends align perfectly when they are folded 😊

[@mama2queenshettwer15]

@@DIYholic is there a way to fix that so both sides are readable and still lined up

[@JoyfuleeCrafted]

@@mama2queenshettwer15I noticed the same thing and yes just flip it vertically then horizontally and it should read the correct way on the back. The shape won’t line up perfectly on both sides, but once it’s on the book page, it will be legible on the front and the back. Another thing you can do is just keep only the image on the front side, and delete the other upside down image (the one intended for the back of the bookmark) before flattening - but be sure to keep the offset to retain the shape. I hope this helps!

[@mama2queenshettwer15]

@@JoyfuleeCrafted thank you for the suggestion. It was driving me crazy that I couldn’t get it to lined up and be readable on both sides so I end up deleting the back side an adding my logo instead. The tutorial was great, this will make a great addition to my shop

Hahah glad I wasn’t alone. I kept deleting my images like this won’t look right! 😂

[@mariacontreras3077]

Hello i love you video❤ . I just sae you are using an epson printer can i print magnetic paper and glossy paper sorry . I have a canon printer but it keep me getting a headache i try everything and still not connecting to my laptop . I like this printer because al material it can print but doesnt want to . I hope i express well my english is not good . Thank you and blessings

[@DIYholic]

Thank you so much! I only print inkjet compatible supplies, like the glossy paper, cardstock, transparent sheet etc. I haven’t tried to print on the magnetic sheet directly, I would do it after printing it on the glossy paper 😊 I’ve had issues with my printer not wanting to connect also, what I recommend trying is to delete the software from your computer and redownloading it. It works after every time! I hope this helps. Lo entendí muy bien, yo también habló español si en el futuro tienes otras dudas! 💛 Gracias por ver el video!

[@mariacontreras3077]

@@DIYholic Muchas gracias por contestar , realmente lo aprecio ☺️, que tengas un lindo día ✨️

[@Printpaperandco]

one thing i discovered is that when you flip the image vertically, it appears mirrored and does not line up after the cut. So I also flipped the image horizontally as well.

[@jaynelewis19]

When you flipped the top portion of the book mark, the words were backwards?

[@CreativeCornerbyMelissa]

Hi I was able to do this but all of a sudden my design space is not letting me use the offset or sticker feature. It keeps saying offline only when I try these features. It just spins and apply doesn't highlight to press. Do you have any suggestions please?

[@abbylynn8872]

Loved this well done tutorial. My only recommendation is a warning about the safety with those tiny magnets and kids. I would add a piece of packing tape over them so if a little one got a hold of it they can't pull the magnet off. Those magnets are deadly when swallowed

[@DIYholic]

Thank you! I understand your concern, I typically don’t let any kids in my craft room due to a lot of the craft supplies I use are hazardous including the Cricut blades, heat presses or anything small such as these magnets etc. That’s a great idea, I did mention they are very small in the video so people should be aware of the size and take that into consideration if they have small kids at home

[@G.R.I.T.S.]

Love this tutorial and how you approached it in a step-by-step simple fashion. Regarding the magnets, I saw on another video where a piece of sticker paper was cut in the overall shape and applied over the magnets.

are they worth to sell ??

I don't have a cricut.... but go to the description and select transcript. Scroll to the time stamp that starts the actual project. Copy and paste into a document. Format with step 1 and step 2 and so on.... then you can follow along. Change the speed of the video to .5 speed to slow the video down.

Hi. Just a suggestion. Go to the top of your screen, choose Settings. There in you will see Playback speed. Click playback speed. Slow to .75 or .50. Return to settings. Select captions, choose auto generated English. Both these things may help you. best regards from a 76 year old.
