Cricut Project: Real Wood Memorial Bookmark Honoring a Cowboy

Wooden Memorial Bookmark for a Cowboy

We were honored to create a custom wood memorial bookmark for a beloved man who had recently passed. Made with our .025″ thick White Pine Real Wood Paper, this bookmark served as both a heartfelt tribute and a lasting keepsake. The natural warmth and soft grain of White Pine provided the perfect backdrop to honor someone with a deep love for horses and the western way of life. Simple yet meaningful, this Cricut-made memorial piece captured the rustic spirit of a life well lived.

Below is a materials list and the brief details with how we created this beautifully unique memorial bookmark.

Materials Used:

  • White Pine .025″ Thick Wood Veneer Sheet 8.5″ x 11″ Short Grain
  • Cricut Maker
  • Canon Craft and Photo Printer
  • Crop-a-Dile Paper Punch
  • Brown Flat Suede Cord
Print and Cut Cricut Wood Bookmark

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Create a Rustic Cowboy Memorial Bookmark with Real Wood Paper

Step 1: Design Your Bookmark
We began by designing the memorial bookmark in Photoshop, incorporating a photo of our cowboy friend along with a meaningful quote. Once the layout was complete, we saved the file as a flattened image.

Step 2: Prepare the Bookmark Cut File
Using a bookmark template from Cricut Design Space, we imported our design into Cricut and lined up the image within the bookmark cut borders. We repeated the design several times on the 8.5″ x 11″ canvas to make the most of a single sheet of wood.

Step 3: Print on Real Wood Paper
We used our Canon crafting photo printer to print directly onto an .025″ thick White Pine Wood Backed Sheet. Be sure to print from the rear feed tray if your printer has one, and always test your printer settings with a small design before printing the full sheet.

Step 4: Cut the Bookmarks with Cricut
Once printed, we carefully placed the wood sheet onto a strong grip cutting mat and loaded it into the Cricut Maker. We selected the appropriate cut settings and let the machine cut out the bookmarks.

Step 5: Remove Cut Pieces
After cutting, we gently removed the bookmarks from the wood sheet. Occasionally, pieces may not fully release—if that happens, simply bend the wood slightly back and forth near the cut lines. It may creak or crack a little, but that’s normal with thicker wood veneer sheets.

Step 6: Punch the Tassel Hole
Instead of cutting the tassel hole with the Cricut (which doesn’t always handle small holes well in thicker wood), we used a Crop-A-Dile punch to create a clean center hole in each bookmark.

Step 7: Add the Suede Tassel
To complete the rustic, western-inspired look, we threaded a piece of brown flat suede cord through the hole and tied it with a loop—resembling saddle tacks or reins.

These handcrafted bookmarks are a meaningful addition to any memorial or celebration of life. Made from real wood, each one offers a natural and heartfelt way to honor a loved one’s memory. With their warm texture and personalized design, they become a lasting tribute and something guests can hold onto, reflect on, and cherish. No two are exactly alike, making each bookmark as unique and one-of-a-kind as the life it represents.

Embroidered Wood Wedding Invitation

Wood Wedding Invitation with Embroidered Flower

DIY Embroidered Sunflower on a Wood Wedding Invitation

Embroidering a sunflower onto a wood wedding invitation adds a stunning, handcrafted touch, blending natural elegance with artistic detail. Using beautiful silk ribbon in vibrant yellow and shimmery green, we carefully stitched each petal and leaf, bringing the sunflower to life. For the center, we used rich brown floss and the French knot technique, creating a textured, seed-like effect. The invitation itself was printed on an Aspen Fleece Back Sheet using an HP Envy Photo 7855 and then securely adhered to a Wenge Wood Back Sheet, resulting in a one-of-a-kind, nature-inspired wedding keepsake.

Below is a materials list and the brief details with how we created this beautifully unique Wood Wedding Invitation.

Materials Used:

  • Wenge .025″ Thick Wood Back Sheet
  • Aspen .010″ Thick Fleece Back Sheet
    • Other species available HERE
  • Aspen 5″ x 7″ Wood Envelope
  • HP Envy Photo 7855 Printer
  • 3/8″ wide Yellow Ribbon
  • 1″ wide Green Ribbon
  • Brown Floss
  • Embroidery Needles
  • Awl or Paper Piercing Tool
  • 3-in-1 Beacon’s Glue
Real Wood Paper Wedding Invitation

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Design & Print Your Invitation
    There are a variety of programs available to create the perfect wedding invitation. For this project, we recommend your main layer be printed on our .010″ Thick Fleece Back Sheets or .016″ Thick Paper Back Sheets.

  2. Before You Begin Embroidering The Flower
    Some previous embroidery experience is recommended. There are many tutorials on YouTube to get you started with Sunflower Silk Ribbon Embroidery. We did not have a design template for our design; we created the design free-hand, as we went along. We recommend using an awl or paper piercing tool to pre-punch holes into the wood. This makes it much easier to pull your needle and ribbon through the wood sheets. 

  3. Begin Embroidering The Flower
    We opted to begin with our brown embroidery floss to create the center of the sunflower. We used the French knot technique and created many knots for the center of the flower. Next, we began punching/piercing holes for the yellow flower petals. The ribbon is thick, so take your time, make your holes slightly bigger than your needle. Once all the ribbon petals were in place, we moved on to the bigger green ribbon for the leaves. Again, make your holes even bigger with this wider green ribbon.  

  4. Assemble Your Wood Wedding Invitation
    Once your sunflower is complete, glue the Aspen Wood Sheet to the Wenge Wood Sheet to hid your ribbon and floss. We used Beacon’s 3-in-1 glue but you can also use your favorite adhesive.

60th Wedding Anniversary Card

Real Wood 60th Anniversary Card

Creating a custom card for a milestone like a 60th wedding anniversary is always a special experience. This unique card was handcrafted using a combination of Wenge, Cherry, and White Pine Real Wood Paper—each wood bringing its own distinct character and texture to the design. The rich, dark tones of Wenge contrast beautifully with the warm hues of Cherry, while the light, natural finish of White Pine adds balance and elegance.

Thoughtfully designed for such a significant occasion, the layers and details in this card reflect the depth and beauty of 60 years of love and commitment. Real Wood Paper provides the perfect medium for blending craftsmanship with nature, resulting in a keepsake that’s not only stunning but also truly meaningful. Whether it’s for an anniversary, wedding, or any other momentous event, custom wood cards like this one turn memories into tangible works of art.

Materials Needed For This Project:

  • Wenge .025 thick Wood Back Sheet Long Grain
  • Cherry .010 thick Fleece Back Sheet Long Grain
  • White Pine .010 thick Fleece Back Sheet Long Grain
  • Glue (we used Bearly Precision Art Glue and Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue)
  • Cream Ribbon
  • Cream Beads with Beige Beading Thread
  • Pop Dots
  • Cricut Maker
  • Cricut Design Space
  • Variety of SVG files on Cricut Design Space

To ensure the perfect execution of your project, we’ve provided Cricut Maker blades, cutting settings, and step-by-step instructions in our Cutting Real Wood Paper with a Cricut Maker Tutorial.

For this handmade wood card, I used my Cricut Maker to intricately cut the flourishes, multi-layered flowers, and stacked 3 layers of the number “60,” bringing it all together beautifully. For the detailed assembly, I relied on our favorite adhesives: Beacon’s 3-in-1 Glue. Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue as well as Pop Dots for dimension on the “60” and the multi-layered flowers.

To elevate the card’s elegance, I added a handmade creamy ribbon bow that exudes sophistication. Paired with a delicate handmade string of pearly beads, these details bring an extra layer of charm and dimension to the design.

Adding to the card’s uniqueness, the inside design mirrors the front, using the same framing SVG files for a cohesive and polished finish. A few delicate flourishes were incorporated for added flair, ensuring that every detail ties together seamlessly. This level of thought and craftsmanship transforms the card into more than just a greeting—it becomes a cherished keepsake.

Congratulations to our dear friends on their 60th Wedding Anniversary!

Aspen Wood Fleece Back Long Grain Wood Paper

OldModelKits.com prints their deck details on our Aspen Fleece Back Long Grain Wood Paper Sheets.

Ken Friend and Alan Bussie became friends about 20 years ago through the hobby of building scale models. Ken built anything he thought was unique and Alan built, bought and sold kits through his company, Oldmodelkits.com. Both shared a common motivation; flawless, extreme detail.  Alan loved ocean liners from the ‘30’s and always wanted a good model of the SS Normandie. However, Normandie kits were non-existent. Ken was looking for something to do during retirement and used his knowledge of prototype fabrication and CAD/CAM to help Alan create his Normandie. After 10 years of research, design, and development combined with a generation of a fabrication methodology, the OMK 1/350 scale SS Normandie kit earned its place on the www.oldmodelkits.com website. 

The design of the kit began with the conversion of two-dimensional imagery into three dimensional virtual models. Originally, all the master parts for the Normandie kits were outsourced to 3D print vendors. Silicon molds of the 3D parts were created, then the kit parts were cast in resin. As 3D printing technology improved and became affordable, the kit parts were converted to in-house 3D desktop printing.

As a finishing touch, Ken and Alan wanted their kits to have realistic real wood decks. Ken created the artwork, then sent the artwork to commercial printers. The process was time consuming and expensive. Over time, the folks at Real Wood Paper helped bring the printing process in-house as a standard for OMK kits.

Ken and Alan still pursue that “perfect” model and have added the SS REX and SS Bremen kits to the OMK line. With the help of vendors like Real Wood Paper, Ken and Alan will continue to have lots to do during retirement…..

Note: For this project we only cut 2 wrappers per 11″ x 17″ .010″ Fleece Back Sheet, however with proper spacing, you could easily get 8-10 wood cupcake wrappers per sheet. We used cut files available in Cricut Design Space that measured approximately 8.5″ in across. It was just a little too tight for our 8.5″ x 11″  Wood Veneer Sheets so we opted for our 11″ x 17″ Wood Veneer Sheets.

We cut all the wrappers from the .010″ Thick Fleece Back Sheets. This particular thickness of Wood Veneer Sheet is much thinner than the Cricut Brand Wood Veneer so you are able to cut them with a regular Cricut Fine Point Blade. 

To learn more about our Real Wood Veneer Sheets and how to cut them, view Cutting Real Wood Paper with a Cricut Maker.

We opted for Long Grain Wood Veneer Sheets for this project because the wood grain would go up and down (not side to side) on the wrappers which allows the wrappers to bend/wrap around the cupcake. It’s bending with the wood grain rather than against the wood grain.

To learn more about our 3 Different Wood Veneer Thicknesses as well as the difference between Short Grain and Long Grain, please click the links provided.

For the Hearts and Love Picks, we used our .025″ Thick Wood Back Sheets. These Wood Veneer Sheets are similar to Cricut Wood Veneer and do require the Cricut Deep Point Blade. We did cut one of the Love Picks from the Walnut .010″ Fleece Back – one layer regular and one layer mirror image. We glued them together for stability and so that there was wood on both sides. These were pretty intricate cuts for wood veneer so it does take a gently hand in removing from the mat and assembly.

Before we added frosting and sparkling sugar, we test fit the cupcakes to the wood wrappers. Perfect fit! Going with a scalloped edge on the wood wrapper made the cupcakes look like cute little daisies! The Wood Wrappers would look great with muffins too. How adorable would a garden or flower themed breakfast or brunch be with muffins that look like daisies? So cute!!

Take make the Cupcake Picks, we used the Quirky Script Font in Cricut Design Space for the Love sentiment. We cut 2 different sizes: 2.65″ wide and 2.2″ wide. The hearts measure approximately 2.5″ x 2.25″. We made the Love sentiment just slightly larger so it could be used on it’s own and slightly smaller to be placed on the hearts. For assembly, we just glued toothpicks to the backs with Beacons 3-in-1 Glue. Hot glue would be another good option. For the ones we cut out of the .010″ Fleece Back Sheets, we put the toothpick between the 2 layers of wood paper. We also glued one of the Love sentiments to the cupcake wrapper itself. 

After adding buttercream (yum!) frosting and sparkling sugar, we added the Cupcake Picks to our Wood Wrapped Cupcakes and enjoyed all the cuteness.

The incredibly talented Canadian Miniaturist, Roxanne Brathwaite, created a stunning mini “zebra” chair using our Ebony Long Grain Wood Sheets. While this chair may be mini, it is nothing but grand in our eyes. Roxanne used Ebony but she was getting Zebra vibes while making her chair to go along with her snake satchel. Sometimes you just gotta go with the vibes. 😍 Roxanne told us the chair pieces were cut with a laser cutter and the Ebony wood paper was applied to both sides and contoured to shape.
