Those gilden flakes with the green, blue and silver. They would be beautiful for a mermaid tail or some kind of marine dies.

[@hartmanartsource]

If you cut the outline of the moth out of a scrap of card, you could use that to mask the card as you apply your Aurora flakes. Then, perhaps, you would avoid any little crumbs or flakes sticking to the places you have taped.

[@heatherr296]

I am stunned by how beautiful that dragonfly is. I had never heard of gilding flakes before but now I must have some!

[@debracameron9012]

Instead of adding the scrap piece of card at the top of the pouches, have you tried placing the laminating pouches in between a piece or two pieces of copier paper like a carrier sheet? I've done that and it works really well and you don't get the wrinkles or slight bends in the laminated pieces.

[@LP-hl3px]

Agree.....I use a piece of folded parchment paper as a carrier sheet and it works well.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

I will try it and see ;-)

[@xxdiamondlazerxx1763]

@@PositivelyPapercraft we used to use carrier sheets in school to laminate the kids work Also when you use the flakes on the dragonfly, if you use a dry paint brush to take off the excess onto the white sheet and then just fold it and put the flakes back into the jar ( like you do with the embossing powder).

[@purplemav]

Hi Ann! thanks for using products multiple times and in multiple ways. I’ve gotten so tired of the “one hit wonders” who push products and use them only once. Your approach to using both what we have as well as things that are new is something I really appreciate. Thank you again!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome! Yes i try to make my videos so that anyone can make them. I don't want it to be about products x

[@shirleydesrochers3319]

Beautiful! I wonder if you use embossing anti static bag around the moth before using gilding flakes if it would help with flakes sticking.

[@liletteautrey8481]

I thought of it too , it would repel the flakes

[@NiteOwlCrafter]

That's a great idea!

[@margaretcornwall2252]

You are making lockdown in Melbourne, Australia, bearable. Thanks for your inspiration.😣🐨🦘

[@missychan63]

Who would have thought when we purchased our laminators that they would become our new favorite craft tool? Thank you so much for sharing all of these fantastic ideas!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@karicoleman3548]

I have so long wondered what more I could do with this thing and couldn’t find anything. This is waaay beyond what my imagination could conceive!

[@tarabeard]

So stunning with the Aurora flakes. It looks just like stained glass! The idea with the butterfly is outstanding. Your mind is amazing!

[@chrisshuk3365]

Oh I need to rewatch this a few times, thank you so much for sharing and making this video. It rocks.

[@Denise11Schultz]

Maybe you could treat the cardstock with your antistatic bag, like you would before embossing. I would do it just before the laminating, because I wouldn’t want to reduce the stickiness of the pouch, you need all that to catch gilding flakes. Also, when gilding onto size, (sizing glue) I like to brush with a soft makeup blush brush. It pushes the flakes into the glue and brushes the excess off equally well, especially when I brush in small circles. This is so beautiful, thank you.

[@BearHarmony]

Ann, you never disappoint! :D Once again, you have added to my crafty ideas and opened up my crafty supplies to NEW opportunities! You truly are a GEM to share all of your expertise with us! I so look forward to each and every one of your videos! :) TYSM for all that you are doing! I am HAPPY to reexplore my crafty stash with all of the POSSIBILITIES that you are suggesting!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@dianec3279]

Absolutely love the snowy effect on the laminating pouch. That can be used in so many ways. Great tips! Thanks for all you do Ann. You’re amazing!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@onedaysoon58]

[@carmenbyrne4088]

Thankyou once again Ann, I just love your laminator hacks xx

[@maryb5205]

Love the butterfly and moth.

[@lesleystephenson8301]

Absolutely stunningly beautiful ❤️. Took it right back to basics for us all. So if we weren't sure you took the time to explain it again and simplified it again for us all. "Wonderful". Thank you so much 💖 for your patience 💗. Angel Blessings Lesley 💟

I love the butterfly die! Beautiful cards fronts!

[@loke-art7383]

Beautiful cards and great ideas ❤️

[@margarettallett762]

It's all about those gilding flakes!!! They're stunning. Such cool ideas! We had a laminator. I'll be asking my husband if it's been packed in our locker or donated when we moved. I can't remember!

[@clairegagne6906]

Laminators are a girls best friend right at the moment. These are awesome Ann. I have the glossy pouches but would like to get the matt ones to have on hand for some of these projects. Be well & TYFS

[@alisonmartin6101]

Queen of the laminator! Wonderful projects. 👸🏼

[@ArtsyGrandma]

Thank for sharing these Ann, the one on the black card is truly magnificent. I have some clear pouches so will be trying out your other ideas soon.

[@nuttienattie1]

Just loving these laminator hacks/ideas x

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thank you xx

[@junewatkins2199]

Thank you for your demonstration. I have done something similar but I put a piece of paper over the top of the die cut and then put it in the laminating folder and then laminate it. Then cut the folder sides and it just parts. Hope you understand that. x

[@eagerhands1]

You never cease to amaze me! I have wondered when you have time to sleep. Perhaps you have dreams which allow you to create? Thank you for all the terrific ideas and hard work. Blessings!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Wow, thank you!

[@maggiedudley8756]

Love your ideas. Thank you ❤️

[@triciacarolkilbride2993]

Oh my...that moth...absolutely stunning and those colours would be perfect for aquatic or mermaid themed dies. I am definitely gonna try the snow affect for my Christmas cards. Thanks again Ann xx

[@robinleonard8862]

what fun!! thanks for sharing!

[@kandicezaffarano6361]

I like the snow on the matt pouch but the clear is my choice for sequins and glitter. sequin stars are great for a night sky over deep blue.

[@katydevitt586]

Another winning video Ann ,great ideas again ,thank you ,going over to your blog right now !

[@nancyludlum2646]

TFS! Really appreciate more ways to use the laminator!

[@annaarthur3641]

Love your laminator tips! I use a Swiffer cloth to get excess dust and flakes off my paper.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Ann, another awesome video. Those coloured gilding flakes are stunning and gorgeous too. I really really love ❤️ all these ideas 💡. And the snow ❄️ one is gorgeous too!!!!!!! Food for thought 💭 Eh? Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@winepaperstains]

Ooooo! I have some dies like these! And bought some flakes but only works with adhesive so I am going to try this out. Love that butterfly effect! 😍😍 Great idea with the sequins! 🤩 Love these laminating techniques! Thank you Ann! 😍👏🏻🙌✌🏻💕

[@mercedescampbell813]

Love these!! I want to use the method to make shakers without gluing acetate!! AND, the best way to make stencils. The new stencils these days are really, really thin. I have a lot of older ones that work much better. Thank you Ann for sharing.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@sistagirl1775]

Very nice great tips! Thank you!

[@megjamieson3881]

I love the aurora flakes Ann and great hacks XXX

[@lynblackledge4714]

Thanks for this - my laminator sits idle but not anymore - You have inspired me to get it out. xx thank you

[@pennygow1764]

Thanks Ann, great ideas. I did a couple of ovals, circles, squares and rectangles today. ❤️

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Wonderful!

[@Wyrmwood66]

I love your butterfly and the dragonfly

[@barbarafarris2412]

I love watching your hacks on laminating. I bought a machine now I have more ways to use it

[@Suzy373]

Oh I do love your videos with these great ideas Ann!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Glad you like them!

[@yvonnestone7696]

Hi Anne, I was a bit worried about putting the laminator sheet in with the stained glass cutout, so I thought I would share with you what I did. I used an office stationary transparency film sheet just a bit longer so that I could get hold of it when finished and it pulled off with no problems at all. Absolutely love you ideas, thank you so much :o)

[@dshe8637]

I was wondering about whether glue would get through too. Great solution!

[@doraburton2863]

Those are just wonderful ideas. Thank you!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@Tazzeasi]

And there is more... your super ideas are endless, Ann. 👍 May I share a tip for when putting a floppy sheet of laminate through the laminator... If you gently slide a sheet of card underneath, this will support it in transit as it were. Obviously make sure not to let the card go through with the pouch. Margaret x

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Yes! Thank you!

[@beulaholine8637]

I really like the moth and butterfly. Thanks for sharing I will definitely try this technique when I get my laminator.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@tami1796]

Thank you for sharing your videos

[@alisonmary1443]

What a nice surprise to see a video today Thank you. Blue n green gilding flakes are gorgeous. Watching all these before I buy a laminator lol. When I use flakes etc I gently wipe things first with a tumble drier sheet but just make sure you like the smell cos it hangs around for ages.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Great idea x

[@hazelyoung2046]

You are a fountain of knowledge Ann. An adhesive eraser would work for the sticky tape adhesive. Great ideas xx

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Oh thank you!

[@karicoleman3548]

Brilliant.

[@evetteurbino]

Brilliant!

[@reneedurling4416]

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

[@brendalawrence6732]

I love how your dragonfly came out, the green, blue and silver embossing flakes are stunning on it! The butterfly card is so cool looking and so beautiful. Love the "embossing powders and sequins" laminating too, so fun and cool! Such brilliant ideas for laminators and crafting! Hugs, Brenda

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thank you so much!

[@bernadettelawson2916]

I know I’m late, but when adhering glitter or flakes I use a piece of wax paper. You can rub really well without pulling bits up. Just my hack x

[@angelaharnett6437]

Lots of great ideas Ann .x

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thanks so much 😊

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thank you! 😊

[@Merricat66]

So lovely! Makes me wonder about maybe some kind of sparkly embroidery thread in the pouch too? I’ll probably start going through my craft stash thinking “Oh! Let’s try this in a laminating pouch!” 😂

[@Yvonneb_]

Ann you are a genius. You are full of fantastic ideas. Your videos are always interesting xx

[@lyndasoar4345]

Fabulous... :)) lots of info ... ive tried making a one sided-laminated box using scored paper-right side out-n copy paper inbetween, glitter & one(both sides of) pouch. Great result... so excited! ..lol thank u.

Thank you!

[@lindacrawford5187]

Another outstanding performance Ann and what a Beautiful Moth, absolutely stunning. You also don’t know how excited I was when you did the Butterfly. I have that set and have never used it because I didn’t know what to do with it, WooHoo, now I know! I am also excited to try the snowflake effects in the laminator for my Christmas cards this year. I usually have my Christmas cards done by the end of January but I had my 5th foot operation in January to fuse my bones together and unfortunately it did not take so all has not been going well with trying to get around on a bad foot, but, we shall prevail with the help of my wonderful friend, Ann Melvin, on KZbin, lol 😆 Thank you Ann for all you do and I LOVE 💕 the excitement in your voice when you get excited when something turns out perfectly! Blessings to you!

[@dthomp06]

I can see using the embossing powders in aurora colors to make a cool night sky

[@JH-wd7ul]

Oh Ann, the first project on black card was GORGEOUS! I have a love/hate relationship with black cardstock. I always have flecks of embossing powder (or in this case it would be gilding flakes) no matter how careful I am. (I would have to use watered down metallic paint to splatter the background to hide these. 🙄) The other projects are just as beautiful - love that layered butterfly die set! Thanks so much for so many ideas! Janet 🥰💕👍🦋
