I mentioned in the video I use 350 GSM paper but I use 300gsm, sorry for the mistake! I want to try with the 350gsm in the future and I'll let you know how it goes! 😊
Not sure if you've answered this before, but how do you get both sides of the bookmark to be aligned properly? My duplex printing always seems to be off just the tiniest bit. :) love this video, thank you!
I love it when you share your wisdom, girl 💪🏼 😃 it’s so lovely and inspiring to see how you’ve perfected your product making from the earlier days 🤗 keep it going, you’re doing great 🥳🥰
Hey! Awesome video, i totally love the idea of using laminating foil on rolls with just a regular lamination machine - i was just about to buy the expensive laminating roller machine, just so i'd be able to use the laminating foils on rolls! so thanks for saving me 2k! :) Have you ever tried doing the gold foiling over the laminated paper? Thanks for the answer :)
At my job, we use corner rounders for printing projects all the time, try doing a little less paper at a time and flip them face down, you’ll possibly get a cleaner cut on your bookmarks, hope this helps 💕
Hi there 😊. Thank you for sharing your work it is so beautiful 🌷🌷🌷 I checked the paper you use on Amazon, but it doesn’t say if it works with inkjet paper? I don’t have a laser printer. Can you let me know please if it prints on inkjet printer? Keep up the great work 💐🐝💐🐝. I only found your channel & shop yesterday, so enjoying watching your videos 🤗
Hi, thank you very much for the video! I have the same printer and just tried to make my own bookmarks too. I didn't consider laminating it, but after the video, I'm buying a laminating machine! I could get the BOPP roll here, but I think I give laminating pouches a try first. Thank you very much!
Yay a new video!! :) Thank you so much for sharing your process - the lamination tips are so helpful! 😍and your bookmarks look super super cute! Beijinhos :)
Hi, and thank you for making and sharing this video. I have a question, however. Many years ago when I first got a laminator I did exactly what you do to make these: I printed the bookmarks in 'strips' on a sheet of card stock, then laminated it. BUT. . . after cutting between them there was no laminated border around each bookmark so the edges of the bookmark were not encased in laminate. I then started cutting the bookmarks apart and laminating them with a little space between them so after laminating and cutting, each bookmark was totally enclosed in laminated plastic. Maybe this technique hasn't caused any problems for you, but it didn't work for me. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos for inspiration. Happy New Year and stay safe.
@@aPenasIllustrator I was wondering about this too. I thought the film only sealed when 'melted' to another side of foil. I didn't know it actually stuck to the paper?
I just clicked on the link you provided for the paper you use and in that listing its showing as 300gsm but you said you use 350gsm so i thought i would double-check with you if it was 300gsm or 350gsm you use? Thank you
Hello there! It was a local printing shop near my old university. It was a normal printing place, you have several in each city's normally 😊 Sorry if that was not a big help!
Hi, thank you for your video has been super helpful as always. Out of curiosity have you ever used the matte lamination paper on your notebooks? My baby drooled on one of my own design notebooks and this showed a flaw in my design as it started to bleed, so currently looking for an alternative way to protect them.
Hi! Im having the same problem its to do with if you have an inkjet printer, they are dye based and so not waterproof. Did you find a solution! Im so stuck.
Hi! Thank you for sharing so much of your work. It's very kind of you. Your bookmarks are just lovely! Great Job! Could you please let me know the portuguese retailer for the lamination roll?
Hiiii! You are welcome, happy to help! Thank you so much for the lovely words 💛 I won't be sharing that information in the near future, until I tried a couple of them to see each ones are the best. Some are not very good quality sometimes! But I just search BOPP film Portugal ou rolos laminação on Google and I found a couple of retailers after some investigation. Hope it helps 😘
Thank you for this really detailed video! I want to do some crafts with my daughter, and she wants her own bookmarks with her own drawings 💖 Currently I'm searching for a foil for laminating (because you know, kids with their smudgy hands). You mentioned a 30 mic BOPP, but I saw in the comments you are still experimenting with this. After this many years, how do you feel about them? Still love it? Found a better one maybe?
Hiiii! I stopped using it since I use it for bigger quantities, using with with a smaller laminator was a pain, I’m saving for a big bopp machine! The downside is that you have to buy a biiiig roll so can be a bit expensive to just use it for crafts. Maybe you can look into some laminate pouches? :) it’s cheaper and they are very thick!
Hi , you don’t appear to leave a border of laminated material , if I cut that close they come apart. Would love to know how you stop that on your bookmarks ? Thanks
Great and very helpful video! Question: Doesn't the matte lamination foil peel off once it's cut? I like to laminate my bookmarks but at the very end, the lamination foil peels off and i don't know what to do about it. Thank for the help!
Hi! Thank you for watching! This is way I used thin lamination, this is lamination used in notebooks and books you see on the shops, not the thick ones :)
great informative video! i just discovered your channel and have watched so many videos already lol. Do you use the laminator on the highest heat setting?
I am trying to laminate without leaving edges from the lamination, everytime i cut right at the edge it opens. I hope this materials helps with that. Thank you
My laminator is on the way actually, your video came on perfect time. Thanks for sharing. But 1 ques, you need to use extra plastic with fellowes? Does only pouch work? And super cute bookmarks
Yay, that's perfect! I only use the plastic pouch as extra protection, so I dont get glue from the lamination on the machine. But you can use only the lsmination film, without the plastic pouch :) thank you 💛
Adorei ver o processo e tens designs muito bonitos! Gostaria de saber onde fazes esses desenhos. Um dia também quero ter uma shop do género, obrigada pelas dicas 😊
Thank you for this really nice and detailed video! I'm about to start experimenting with lamination, and I'm so excited about it! I have two questions: - Can you reuse the laminating pouches? If yes, how many times? - Which heat setting do you use for the laminaton?
Yaaay, good luck! 👍🏻 I used the ones I have a few duzen times, really depends! :) but yes, definitely reusable since I only use them for protection. I normally use it in the highest setting but if you can buy a laminator with different geat settings so you can try it out :)
@@aPenasIllustrator I didn't expect you to answer so fast! I guess they come in different Mil thickness also. I found some but they are different thicknesses.
@@nadinek6693 I think so! I really like the 30 micron one, it's very hard to apply but if looks like the paper it's not even laminated because it's so thin
@@aPenasIllustrator sorry you mentioned that in the video. Just re-watched. Thanks so much. Sorry I missed the sketchbook club..I had to get a new battery for my friend's car which I have while she is gone (for months).
Hi..I can't seem to find the BOPP film anywhere. do you have any recommendations? is the same as lamented roll from amazon? Thank you! love what you do
in my previous question I meant to ask..do you know if dtf pet film roll works the same way as a BOPP roll? Could I use dtf pet film roll to laminate? I also don't like how the look of sealed edges look if I were to use normal vinyl lamination so I'm really trying to use the same method as you for lamination.
Awesome and informative video. I've always been interested in making stuff like this and starting a small business. I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to watching more! You have a new subscriber.
Thank you for this I want to make bookmarks to advertise my Animal & Candle business. I have a question. Amazon is selling laminate paper pouches for bookmarks. Has anyone ever used it? I'd like to know if it's any good
Hi Sarah!! I never used them, since I don't really like how they look. You can cut the lamination in the margin of the paper, you have to leave a few millimeters, or it might unglue from the paper. But maybe you can try to find videos from other creators that used them and I'm sure they will share more about it and better eheh
I'm curiuos to wether the matte laminate stays put when the bookmark will be used over and over again? Normal thick and glossy laminate won't glue to the paper once you cut it open, if you can picture it?
It does. This laminate is not like those sheets you are talking, these are the ones used by print houses, like you see in books and stuff. It doesn’t come out easily, even if you try it rips the paper off
I’m doing the same process as you by putting the film inside the pocket sleeves, but somehow the film won’t stick onto my paper. Did you had to feed the paper in a couple times to get the film to Adhere to the paper? I can’t seem to get my film to adhere and I’m doing same process as you. :(
No, it adhere to the paper at the first try.. Are you using the correct film? Are you using a hot laminator? And are you putting the right way, where the glue paper is touching the paper? Maybe check all of these. Hope you can make it work 💛
Hi, exactly what I was looking for *-* but how on earth do you have such a smooth finish ? I bought the same plastic sheets as you to protect and help for the lamination and i have an equivalent laminating paper but I always get wrinkles (or at least 1 a the very end to make me angry and waist my paper) , I can't make it work and if i don't laminate my covers the ink smudge very easily. Any suggestions ? do you think printing on a laserjet would help with the smudging so i don't have to laminate my covers ? Thanks a lot !!!
Hi Anya! I sometimes get bubbles as well, but it only happens sometimes. I noticed is more when the laminator is getting warmer, so maybe your laminator is too warm or with the temperature changes? It can happen, specially when they have a lot of use! I'm not sure. I had a bad experience using laser in vinyl stickers, in the warmer month's they were arriving glued to each other on costumers. Not sure how it works on other types of paper, but my experience wasn't very good :)
This video is incredibly helpful. I especially liked the emphasize on how to laminate and the difference in output between the two laminating machines. I ordered my supplies now and look forward to trying it tomorrow with my daughter!
Eu tenho essa cantoneira e alguma coisas ajudaram a melhorar. Tente alinhar as duas traves laterais com a chavinha e o gabarito que vem com ela. Outra coisa que ajudou muito foi sempre girar a borrachinha que fica abaixo da lâmina, pois quando fica muito gasta, o corte não sai legal. Espero que ajude...
Thanks for this video! I don't know if you know this already, but you can also laminate on the minc foil machine. That's what I use for laminating my projects!
Hola Beatriz me podrías decir el tamaño para hacer la tapa de los cuadernos? Y cuantos gramos son ? Y otra cosa usas el cartón de la tapa es igual para hacer esos individuales? Gracias
@@aPenasIllustrator I use the matte lamination pouches for my matte vinyl stickers but it only adheres to glossy vinyl. If the laminator gets too hot it bubbles and if it doesn’t get hot enough it looks foggy. I think I have found the right temperature now and I will experiment some more with a plastic cover. Thank-you
Thank you! I'm extremely interested in that bopp laminate. I've been searching for a laminate thinner than 3mil but I never thought to use an industrial roll of it.
@aPenasIllustrator I'm most likely going to get the machine with it too lol. Girl, this gonna be a game changer for sticker sheets, thank you so much !
Thanks for the demonstration- very useful. I bought a laminator today to laminate some die cut book marks I’ve made. Can you tell me the difference between doing it your way with the thin plastic first, and just putting them through the laminating pouch please?
Hiii! Yay, glad you are trying it out! This plastic is very thin so if you don't use the pouch it gets all wrinkled and folded in the laminator :) With the pouch it stays in place!
Hi I'm a new follower and I like you channel💓💓, I have question for you, I watch your video about how you make a notepads and I wanna know the type of the paper you use is the same like this video and thank you 😘😘
Hi lovely! Thank you so much for watching my videos, very happy you like them! 😊 For the notepads I use 80gsm paper for all the sheets and for the back I use 1mm thick card. If you are talking about the notebooks, for the covers I use 250gsm paper so they don't break when folded :)
como se chama esse rolo de papel de 30grs em português? em que local compras? eu tenho uma laminator do lidl, não sabia que dava para ter papeis e meter um papel como capa reutilizavel desse da mink, achei que o que metesse lá dentro ficava juntinho xD fazes a quente ou a frio?
Olá! 😊 Já vi com vários nomes, normalmente é rolo de laminação! Comprei online, depois de alguma pesquisa, mas ainda estou em investigação e eheh. Se não tiver cola, não fica! 😊 Gosto bastante destas capas! Faço a quente
When you buy the book marks do they all on one sheet of paper also when you have laminate the paper and cut it doesn’t come unstuck,you are so relaxing to watch thank you carol.
Hey love! With your corner rounder, to get a better more accurate cut, you may just need to slightly adjust your edge guide placement. You would be surprised how much difference changing the guides by as much as a millimetre can make:)
@@aPenasIllustrator It took me aaaages to get mine just right, it’s a real pain in the butt to do, but it’s so much better once their in just the right spot :D. Especially when you do bigger volumes. I also found that putting a little bit of blue tac or putty behind the guides to prevent them from slipping even just slightly helps :D
@@aPenasIllustrator I feel your pain! I've been doing lots of notepads and inserts! Lots of cutting, lots of corner rounding :( The book marks look awesome though! You're doing an awesome job :D Keep it up! ^^
I just found your channel and I love your work its beautiful! 😍😍 Definitely had to subscribe 😁😁 I was wondering though, after you cut your bookmarks to size, does it not affect the lamination seal on your bookmarks?
Totally going to give that a try because with the other lamination sheets it kind of messes with the "seal", thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 😁 💞 Hope your channel keeps growing !

If the laminator gets too hot it bubbles and if it doesn’t get hot enough it looks foggy. I think I have found the right temperature now and I will experiment some more with a plastic cover. Thank-you
Thank you! I'm extremely interested in that bopp laminate. I've been searching for a laminate thinner than 3mil but I never thought to use an industrial roll of it.
It's a bit tricky without the right machine, but it's possible to use! :)
@aPenasIllustrator I'm most likely going to get the machine with it too lol. Girl, this gonna be a game changer for sticker sheets, thank you so much !
Your videos are sooooo helpful and gives me hope that even I make some cute things
Of course you can!! 😊🥰💛
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing! I was wondering if you could please show us how to make flashcards?
Hi Veronica! I don't know how to do flashcards, I'm sorry!
That’s okay. Thank you!
😊👍🏻 I love it ! ✨🌈 thank you !
Thank you for watching Victoria! :D
Thanks for the demonstration- very useful. I bought a laminator today to laminate some die cut book marks I’ve made. Can you tell me the difference between doing it your way with the thin plastic first, and just putting them through the laminating pouch please?
Hiii! Yay, glad you are trying it out! This plastic is very thin so if you don't use the pouch it gets all wrinkled and folded in the laminator :) With the pouch it stays in place!
@@aPenasIllustrator thanks very much for the reply- appreciate you taking the time and sharing your knowledge
You are the BEST!!
Thank you so much 🎉
Hi I'm a new follower and I like you channel💓💓, I have question for you, I watch your video about how you make a notepads and I wanna know the type of the paper you use is the same like this video and thank you 😘😘
Hi lovely! Thank you so much for watching my videos, very happy you like them! 😊 For the notepads I use 80gsm paper for all the sheets and for the back I use 1mm thick card. If you are talking about the notebooks, for the covers I use 250gsm paper so they don't break when folded :)
@@aPenasIllustrator thank you so much 😍😍😍 you are really help me , I appreciate that 💘💘💖
@@xna.ksu_ you're welcome MN
como se chama esse rolo de papel de 30grs em português? em que local compras?
eu tenho uma laminator do lidl, não sabia que dava para ter papeis e meter um papel como capa reutilizavel desse da mink, achei que o que metesse lá dentro ficava juntinho xD
fazes a quente ou a frio?
Olá! 😊 Já vi com vários nomes, normalmente é rolo de laminação! Comprei online, depois de alguma pesquisa, mas ainda estou em investigação e eheh. Se não tiver cola, não fica! 😊 Gosto bastante destas capas! Faço a quente
@@aPenasIllustrator não sabia que de 30 podia ir a quente :o
obrigada!
Thank you for the tutorial 😊😊
You're welcome lovely! 😊

What is the size for bookmark?
When you buy the book marks do they all on one sheet of paper also when you have laminate the paper and cut it doesn’t come unstuck,you are so relaxing to watch thank you carol.
Thank you!
You can do them on the size you want! Mines are around 15x20cm :)
Hey love! With your corner rounder, to get a better more accurate cut, you may just need to slightly adjust your edge guide placement. You would be surprised how much difference changing the guides by as much as a millimetre can make:)
Hiii! I changed them a couple of times but it still didn't worked. I'll try if again to see if I get it right! 😊 Thank you so much!! 💛
@@aPenasIllustrator It took me aaaages to get mine just right, it’s a real pain in the butt to do, but it’s so much better once their in just the right spot :D. Especially when you do bigger volumes. I also found that putting a little bit of blue tac or putty behind the guides to prevent them from slipping even just slightly helps :D
@@khia555 Aaaah, thank you so much ! I'll keep trying, I was basically giving up on it. Making notebooks as been a pain 😬
@@aPenasIllustrator I feel your pain! I've been doing lots of notepads and inserts! Lots of cutting, lots of corner rounding :( The book marks look awesome though! You're doing an awesome job :D Keep it up! ^^
@@khia555 thank you so much 🥰🥰✨
I just found your channel and I love your work its beautiful! 😍😍 Definitely had to subscribe 😁😁
I was wondering though, after you cut your bookmarks to size, does it not affect the lamination seal on your bookmarks?
Thank you so much, that means a lot 🥺
It doesn't, the lamination really adders to the paper, the cutting doesn't 'open' it at all 😘
Totally going to give that a try because with the other lamination sheets it kind of messes with the "seal", thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 😁 💞 Hope your channel keeps growing !
me: cut out a piece of paper and use it as a bookmark💀✨
That works too 😂
I need bookmarks printed for my granny who passed but I need them done where I don’t have to pay
Only if you print them yourself at home 😅
@@aPenasIllustrator I could but I don’t have the right equipment lol
This should be call how to laminate bookmarks it's not telling you how to make a bookmark wrong conception.
How exactly? I literally tell you my process of how I make my bookmarks. Everyone has a different one!
Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Thank you! 🥰
