Using Digital Bookmarks: Because Your Planner, Books, and Scrapbooks Deserve a Glow-Up

Once upon a time, bookmarks were just scraps of paper, receipts, or whatever was within reach to mark your page. But now, digital bookmarks have changed the game. They’re versatile, stylish, and completely customizable—and the best part? You can use them both online and off.

Whether you prefer the feel of a real book in your hands or you’ve fully embraced digital planners and e-books, using digital bookmarks offer endless creative possibilities. Print them, decorate them, or use them on your tablet—either way, your pages will never feel lost again.

Print, Cut, Customize: The DIY Bookmark Revolution

The beauty of digital bookmarks is that you can make them your own. Instead of settling for mass-produced designs, you get complete control over size, shape, and style.

Print Your Own for Books and Planners

No more searching for the perfect bookmark—just print, cut, and enjoy. Whether you prefer sleek and simple or bold and decorative, digital bookmarks let you print as many as you need, resize them to fit any book, planner, or scrapbook, and change the shape by rounding the edges, trimming them into tags, or even punching holes for ribbons and tassels.

Make Them More Durable

If you want your bookmarks to last longer than a few reads, laminating them is a great option for extra sturdiness. Printing on different materials can also add to their durability and aesthetic. Cardstock gives a sturdy, professional feel, sticker paper turns them into reusable planner tabs, and vellum or transparency paper creates a soft, layered effect.

Use Them for More Than Just Books

Digital bookmarks aren’t just for marking pages. They make great planner dividers and section markers, scrapbook embellishments for adding dimension and texture, and DIY gift tags by simply punching a hole and adding some twine.

Taking Bookmarks Digital: For the Paper-Free Crowd

If you’ve gone all-in on digital planning and e-books, digital bookmarks work just as well on a screen as they do in print.

Digital Planners & Journals

Apps like GoodNotes, Notability, and OneNote let you drag-and-drop digital bookmarks to mark important sections like monthly layouts or habit trackers, jump between pages with hyperlinked bookmarks, and add a decorative touch without the bulk of physical tabs.

Bookmarking E-Books & PDFs

If you read on a Kindle, iPad, or tablet, most apps let you digitally "bookmark" pages—but why stop there? Some PDF readers even allow you to insert custom bookmark images for a personalized touch.

Scrapbooking & Memory Keeping

For digital scrapbookers, bookmarks are great layering elements. They add a pop of personality to journal pages and help organize layouts with titles, tabs, or decorative accents.

A Bookmark for Every Style Using Digital Bookmarks

Use them, customize them, and enjoy knowing you’ll never lose your place again—on paper or on screen.
