💥10 BEST EVER LAMINATOR CRAFTS!!💥 (HAPPY NEW YEAR)

[@Cards4Cancer]

These were great reminders of fun projects. There is one that you didn't mention and it's a huge money saver. Run an empty pouch through your laminator. Then you have an acetate that allows you to emboss on it. The acetate for heat is very expensive.

[@dotmitchell8912]

Sounds great Carla , do you think it could be die cut to make stencils ? Or use punches

[@dotmitchell8912]

I love this ,I have made lots of the pockets for my dies , so easy to use and use them more because I can see them at a glance thank you Anne

[@hayleydoherty9557]

Crafters companion heat resistant acetate is cheap

[@c.r.mcleod8959]

​@@dotmitchell8912I laminate a pouch with nothing in it and then cut my stencil designs on it, it works fine. I cut it with my Brother Scan and Cut machine. 😊

[@imacardmaker]

Happy New Year to you! Thanks for all these techniques. I will definitely be using them. If folks can't get the nonstick carrier sheet they could try using a folded piece of parchment paper as a good substitute. I've done this and it works quite well. Blessings to you. 🎇

[@LilyStargazer0925]

Thank you! I couldn’t find these and was checking comments to see if there is something else I could use.

[@janne2744]

Non stick oven sheets?

[@dc8202]

Happy New Year! May 2023 bring you good health, happiness and continued crafty success! 🥰 Thank you so very much for all you do and share, you are a treasure! Cheers, 🥰💕xx

[@meganvanderlinden6755]

The faux glossy accents technique is awesome. I can never get that stuff on and dried without messing it up.

[@1wildwackywoman]

Someone else in this thread could not find the nonstick carrier pouch, (in the US.). But I’m guessing it is like a Teflon cloth often used with a heat press when pressing vinyl onto fabric. The point of using the carrier pouch is to re-stick the lamination, but the bits don’t stick to the carrier pouch itself. I’ve done something similar for edges of something laminated that was coming apart. I use my cricket mini press on medium and pressed with a cloth. A Teflon sheet or Perchment paper would also work would also work. Just have to be careful you don’t get the iron too hot or leave it in one place for too long.

[@ruthjames715]

Great ideas, Ann. I bought a machine acouple of years ago and have never used it. Perhaps I'll give it a try after seeing your video. Ruth down under.

[@betholmsted]

These are all good. I like to put dried leaves in the laminator to make bookmarks or other uses.

[@ariesgirl3444]

As a long time fan of yours, I have tried many of these great projects before but great to have them all together and to refresh the ideas. I have made so many of the pockets for my dies with this idea, they work perfectly and keep everything organised. Thanks as always Ann.

[@gemmalou101]

I keep forgetting about how many fab things you can do with your laminator, thanks for sharing hun xxx

[@maplelassuk]

You have such brilliant ideas!! I got out my 12 year old never used laminator after watching earlier videos...amazing!! Thank you for all the ideas xx

[@poppletop8331]

Happy New Year Ann, thanks for sharing all your wonderful makes & tips all year.🌸

[@selinasnowdon2834]

This is great thank you, your laminating videos are the reason I bought one (my husband doesn’t say thank you as it’s yet another thing to find a home for 🤣)

[@reneedurling4416]

Just another informative video from the best channel on you tube, hands down. Your content is always right on and concise. Thank you for all do and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@vanderbrowning1821]

fab reminder of the different techniques x

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Thanks for the recap. I had forgotten you could make a stencil with a sheet of card laminated on one side. Thanks, Ann!

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Lots of great ideas. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year. 😊🤗

[@johncmullins5005]

Hello Ann: Just happened on your compilation video and wanted to thank you. Great video.I don't use my laminator near enough and you've given me many good reasons to get on with it. Have a great day!

[@marcelladimartino6113]

Happy New Year Ann! 🎆 Thank you so much for compiling all of these amazing lamination videos. I know it's a lot of work. Did you ever think, years ago when you first started paper crafting, that you'd get as far as you have? I've only been paper crafting for about 3 years, and I never would have imagined that I could make my own boxes and gift bags to fit anything. ❤️ You helped me get here.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Happy new year!! No I never imagined I would get this far. It started off as a hobby really. Xx

[@mummabearmarie1109]

Great tips Ann TY. Where did you get those great scissors pls???

[@stellashandmade]

Ann, I'm glad I found you channel. I'm learning alot about laminating. Thank you. I have subscribed.

[@shar2533]

Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas, Ann. I am going to search for a laminator to purchase.

[@normabonaiuto1512]

Ann you are so imaginative and talented. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips.

[@rochelle..]

I’m going to try making a clear stencil by just putting in a pouch with nothing except a piece of cardstock at the top thanks to your tip. I’ll put it through silhouette with my own design and hopefully have an easily positional stencil. 🤞

[@M.E2429]

New to these ideas... The first 2 sheets laminated on 1 side... what do you use them for please?

[@JH-wd7ul]

I have been using these techniques ever since you first posted them. I LOVE them! Great idea to have a compilation video for new subbies to be introduced to the wonderful world of Positively Papercraft! Thank you Ann and I hope 2023 will your best year so far! Janet ❤

[@heathertoms4188]

Thank you for taking the time to show us these different techniques, although I’ve seen you do them before it’s nice that they are all together and it’s a reminder what we can do with a laminator. Happy New Year! x

[@carolmason8085]

... And the addition of the carrier cover is a great tip. Happy 2023 Ann...many thanks for your lovely and helpful ideas!

[@faithsaito9833]

[@donnamarieharrison1125]

Thank you for this video. I have not thought of using my laminator for card making but it is a terrific idea! I will surely do this!

[@tami1796]

Thank you for sharing your videos

[@margaretg2097]

Happy New Year, hun! Thanks for this great compilation. It's so good to have them together and you've inspired me to get my laminator out again. I'd totally forgotten about the glossy accents effect and laminating fabric. Thanks again, your extra effort is always appreciated ❤️

[@carolschacht2828]

Thank you Ann for your video on laminating. Thank you for the hack on making stamp and/or die storage pouches (any size). The idea on the stencil was not only a great idea but my feeble mind was able to grasp your instructions. Guess what I will be doing next!! Hope 2023 brings you more happiness, love and self-peace. Hugs xxx

[@sweetsue51]

Ann, First of all, Happy New Year, I always love absolutely everything that you make. I have a laminator that I used once and everything got stuck which made me afraid of it. I really want to make some projects. Thank You for all the great tips

[@rebeccagray650]

I have recently come across your channel. What a find!!! Superbly presented, informative, brilliant tips and tricks, I love your compilations, very watchable over and over. I now have some catching up to do watching past videos!! By the way, your nails are lovely and your accent is one of my favourites.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thank you so much Rebecca 💓 xx

[@rochelle..]

I just recently started omitting putting the paper in between because back to back doesn’t stick and I had to trim up anyhow. It worked . Thank-you for sharing all your discoveries! I love your stencil idea too and also your tip about inserting a piece of card stock so the laminator doesn’t jam. Laminators are fun! I love melting sh!t hahahaha

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Thank you Ann... For putting them all together. Really appreciate it.

[@1stLucySchmidt]

How nice to have all your great laminating ideas in one place. Thanks! I'm sure you'll come up with even more ways to use the pouches and laminator. I'll look forward to seeing them.

[@karenreeves3958]

Thanks for all of these reminder laminator projects. I love them all, but the shaker one is great. Thanks Ann & Happy New Year

[@LemonDropLab]

Ha! This was so great, Ann! I pulled all the things out of storage to give each project a go! I'm the most excited about the faux glossy accent die cuts! Hooray! Thank you so much for sharing your super tips!

[@Jelly-rj8fz]

wow those pouches!! awesome... I borrowed a laminator last week, am having fun, except I did several with wrong sides out and now have some nice THICK acetate!! haha

[@pquack51]

Ann, Happy New Year and thank you SO much for this fabulous video!! I have a laminator, after watching some of your previous videos, guess it's time to get it back out!!!

[@amandapritchard9840]

[@angelamuircroft5181]

[@kayboath2468]

These ideas are absolutely fantastic. Thank u for taking the time and effort to put this together. Happiest of new year wishes to you and yours xx

[@lileoldlady7884]

To make your own carrier sheets, put two sheets of card, with scrap paper between inside a laminator pouch, making sure they are straight, and as close to the lamination fold as possible. Then, before putting through the laminator, cut off both sides of the pouch about 3 to 4 inches below the pouch fold. Hope this makes sense🤫

[@zeldaackerman4394]

Awesome tips, thanks Ann!!

[@june-babyjane1]

Happy New Year Ann. WoW! You’ve blown my mind with these. Bloody brilliant ideas. Saving this video for future reference. Thank you so much for these Ann. Have a safe and healthy 2023 ❤❤

[@stacivirtue1296]

Thank you for the compilation, Ann! I've seen some of them but missed others. When you laminate one side of the patterned paper, do you ever have problems with it curling? Thanks again! ❤️!!

[@bettyehayden2392]

Thank you so much for all showing all the things I can do with my laminator. I’ve only used it for foiling so far.

Always enjoy your videos. Happy New Year. 🇦🇺

[@s.baxter3891]

Ann, any idea where we in the US can get something like the Swordfish Lamination Pouch Carrier sheets? It appears to be only available in the UK>

[@1wildwackywoman]

I couldn’t find them either. Maybe they’re called something else?

[@1wildwackywoman]

I think it’s like a Teflon sheet that is often used with a heat press. See my comment in this thread.

[@beautynfashionbydonna]

Love your laminating tips

[@glittergrandma]

Brilliant for the die cuts, and the fancy acetate. You always have the best ideas and examples. Love the gilding paper. Great ideas. Happy New Year!
