The design included a template for a card perfectly scored to use hold the bookmark. I had never considered being able to etch on cardstock before, and wasn&rsquo;t completely sure what to expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results were stunning and it was really neat to watch the printer do it&rsquo;s magic etching the cardstock with the design and a custom quote we added to each card. I highly recommend trying a project with this medium, it&rsquo;ll let you create beautiful and professional looking packaging if you want to sell or gift any of your creations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, you will want to keep your eye on your Glowforge to make sure you have the proper settings and don&rsquo;t burn a hole through the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-1200x1600.jpg\" alt=\"Glowforge in process laser etching on cardstock\" class=\"wp-image-95604\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-675x900.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-546x728.jpg 546w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201600'%3E%3Crect%20width='1200'%20height='1600'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Glowforge in process laser etching on cardstock\" class=\"wp-image-95604 lazyload\" title=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-16\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-1200x1600.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-675x900.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-546x728.jpg 546w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.amomstake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230703_161540.jpg 1500w\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
