The opinions and text are all mine.
My kids love to give their classmates little valentines for Valentines Day.
So rather than missing out we always look for non-treat options for Valentines Day.
This year we came up with this fun coloring book mark idea.
I mean who doesnt love to color and who doesnt need a cute bookmark?
Cricut makes Valentines match-MAKING a breeze with hundreds of creative projects to try.
I fell completely in love with these great woodland animal designs inCricuts Design Space.
I mean, how adorable are the owls, raccoons and fox (hello handsome)?
We also usedthenew debossing tipto deboss hearts all around the designs.
This gives the bookmarks a really interesting texture and professional looking finish.
For the teachers, well be painting somepine cone rosesto create a little bouquet.
Or maybe making them amason jar candle holderwith heart cut-outs using our Cricut Maker.
If you prefer a written version, read on below!
Start by accessing theproject file in Cricut Design Space.
These bookmarks use all fonts and images from Design Space.
If you like how they look, simply hit the Make It button and continue to the next step.
Alternatively, hit Customize to take you to the Canvas.
From here you might make any changes youd like.
You could make them Happy Birthday or Thank You bookmarks for example.
Or you’re free to remove some of the images if youd prefer to cut-out only a few.
Just be sure to Group and Attach each bookmark before going on to the cutting step.
The hearts are designed to be debossed using the new Debossing Tip for the Cricut Maker.
Select Make It to take you to the prepared mat for cutting.
Select continue and then set the material to medium cardstock.
Place a sheet of cardstock on a standard grip mat and the load into the Cricut.
Push the green Cricut Go button to begin the bookmarks.
Continue with the project.
Next, load the debossing tool if you havent already.
And lastly, load the fine point blade in to Clamp B to finish the bookmarks.
Cut several strands of the embroidery floss 8 long.
Fold them in half and loop them through the hole at the top of each bookmark.
Thread the tails through the loop and pull to tighten.
The bookmarks turned out great!
Guess she doesnt mind having a non candy valentines either!
