How Do You Use Cardstock as a Cricut Bookmark?

Making custom bookmarks with your Cricut machine is a great way to show your creativity and add a personal touch to any book or gift. Using cardstock as a material for your Cricut bookmark projects is an easy and cost-effective way to make professional-looking bookmarks. It’s also a great way to use up any scraps of cardstock you may have lying around.

Before getting started, you’ll need to gather your supplies:

  • Cardstock in the color of your choice
  • Cricut machine with cutting blade
  • Cricut Design Space software
  • Adhesive or double-sided tape
  • (Optional) Ribbon, string, or other decorative elements

Step 1: Preparing Your Cardstock for Cutting

Cut the cardstock into the size and shape you want for the bookmark. You can use any size or shape you like, but it’s important that all pieces are cut from the same size/shape so that they will fit together properly.

Step 2: Designing Your Bookmark in Cricut Design Space

Open Cricut Design Space and create your design. You can use one of the pre-made designs in the library or create something completely original using images, text, shapes, and more.

Step 3: Cutting Your Bookmark with Your Cricut Machine

Once you have designed your bookmark in Cricut Design Space, it’s time to cut it out. Place the cardstock on your cutting mat and load it into the machine.

Make sure that you select “Cardstock” as the material type in order for the machine to make accurate cuts.

Step 4: Assembling Your Bookmark

Once the pieces of cardstock have been cut out, it’s time to assemble them. Use adhesive or double-sided tape to secure them together. If you are using ribbon or other decorative elements, adhere those as well.

Conclusion

Using card stock as a material for making bookmarks with your Cricut machine is an easy and cost-effective way to add a personal touch to any book or gift. With just a few supplies and some creativity, you can create professional-looking bookmarks quickly and easily!
