I’ve had a lot of questions about the Subway Art Style bookmarks that I made for my children for Christmas.
I made mine in Photoshop, but you can easily make them in Word. If you want more fonts than you currently have, do a search for free fonts, and download some new fonts that you like to your computer. Some places I’ve found fonts are Urban Fonts, and DaFont.
I typed each child’s name at the top, and then wrote ten things I love about that child underneath. Be sure to keep the file, in case a child loses his or her bookmark and wants a replacement.
I fit four on a page, and I printed them on a piece of cardstock.
After cutting them out (I used a paper cutter to make it easier, but you can use scissors) I covered them with clear shelf-liner on both sides. I cut around the edges, leaving about 1/8 inch around the edges. You can get a roll of clear-shelf liner for around $5. I first learned this trick in France, so if you’re reading in another country, you should be able to find this as well.
Instead of a bookmark, you could print this and stick it in a photo frame, or print it as a poster.
I just love these Brandy! I am going to make these for Christmas gifts. I have a DIY Subway Art poster up on my blog and I am giving away one of the Family Rules Posters I made, if any of your readers want to enter or just use the tutorial. They are soooo expensive in the stores and I made mine for under $10 bucks!http://blueberrycottage.blogspot.com/2012/08/diy-subway-art-for-about-10-bucks-want.html
I love this and am going to bookmark it as a Christmas idea! Thank you! My one and only black Friday purchase last year was a laminator for
You’ve used two of the names we’re considering for our fifth (Winter and Ivory) that’s due in December! I guess I’ll have to keep brainstorming 😉
It’s not like you can’t use those names! :)A friend of mine liked Wren (our other daugther’s name) but ended up choosing to name her daughter Dove.When we were down to names for this last baby, I also liked Ruby, Poppy, and Peony. Of course, she was a spring baby. But Ivory would also work for a wintertime baby!
Just wanted to make sure you saw that Sam’s Club is having free health screenings. I saw on Southern Savers dot com and Money saving mom, so I figured you would see it, too. This has nothing to do with this post, but didn’t know where else to put this!
LOL, Wren was on my list for a while, but I figure that’s more of a spring/summer name. I love Ruby.
Hi!This year for homeschooling for art class we will be working on lettering and printing .Pat
Good morning! I made some bookmarks that were inspired by yours and posted about them today. Thanks so much for the idea. I love yours!
Hi Brandy, Could you tell me what font you used for the names on the bookmarks. I don’t seem to have that one and it’s so pretty. I think this is an awesome idea and want to make some for my beautiful daughters.
It is Bickham Script II and Bickham Script Fancy. I looked for it for a long time before I was able to find it. I cannot remember where I finally did find it, but if you find it, please let me know where so that I can tell others!DaFont has a lot of calligraphy fonts that you may like, if you don’t locate that font.
Thank you for sharing! I am going to make some like this for my children for Valentine’s Day, and I think I’ll even make my husband one!Casey
