Save the laminating sheet “back” piece, they are great for die cut stencils. Cos the sheet has white paper on makes no difference. Heat has made sheet harder so cuts really well. And best bit......no waste!

[@cazee100]

Alternatively, put images on both sides with copier paper between than you get most use out of laminator sheet.

[@CraftyLadyCraftyLady]

@@cazee100 I agree , that back sheet you know stick something in there, love it great idea

[@MsShanarun]

Very clever ideas!! And I bet you didn't use the other side because you didn't have anything planned out and you were just happy to get your video completed. ;)

[@craftygrandma776]

@@cazee100 I was just wondering about if this idea would work,,,,,,, thanks.

[@craftygrandma776]

Super idea

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

I forgot to say that you can put card etc in the back side as well but be careful that they do not move when you put them in the laminater xx

[@jansfield5314]

Brilliant idea Anne especially the stamps, you come up with such useful and clever ideas, tyfs x

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

@@jansfield5314 thank you Jan xx

[@franmonka2671]

I was just thinking of putting a thin piece of DSP in the back so it doesn't get wasted. That way you could get two envelopes out of one piece of laminate! Absolutely a great project!!!

[@jeang5451]

Positively Papercraft I was thinking the same thing the whole time I was watching, why waste the backside? Thanks for the update!

[@cheryleoconnor8314]

I was thinking that as I watched you! Thanks

[@VeldaE12]

I’m looking at these printed purple cards and thinking- I could take photos on a trip, print them on card, , laminate front then use back to address and place postage and mail to those I visited on trip.

[@jojos_59]

If you used two pieces of the pretty paper/cardstock back-to-back, there'd be no need for copy paper wastage. Especially if you were making many of these pouches. Just a thought. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@teatimendolls]

Claire Gagne left me a comment letting me know you have used the method of one side lamination and credited me. Awesome! I cringed a bit that the other side of the lamination was not used also. i don't like to waste anything. But awesome job. Thank you warmly from the heart. Blessings love

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thank you for your fab technique :-) yes I was so excited I forgot to add my bits to the other side lol. Thank you again :-)

[@Denna7075]

What an amazing idea! I just love that you can have it protected but you can glue it down and not worry if it will stay! I just love this!!!! You can make less waste, if you have two different papers you have stamped or printed you can put them back to back (plain side to plain side) put in your lamination pouch and run it through. If you leave yourself enough room on the edges you wont need a piece of paper between them because you can trim away a bit of both sides and then pull apart as you did.

[@sharonb.7867]

So clever! Love the demo! Could you put pictures face down, two pieces of typing paper, and finally a layer with the pics facing up (four layers in the sleeve) - laminate. . .then cut apart and you would have TWO layers of pictures that are laminated on one side when you were done. Does that make sense? Because are you "wasting" one side of the lamination the way it is demonstrated? I am in NO WAY trying to criticize the demonstration, but rather understand the lamination process and how it can be done. God bless and thank you again for the lovely demonstration!!

[@rongablue]

I was thinking exactly like you and you have given a lovely explanation. Thank you and God bless...Stay safe.

[@Hobbykat]

Yes, first thought that popped into my mind as well.

[@jackieworthington6892]

I was just going to message the same thing, yu then get use out of both sides of laminate x

[@nancypridham6556]

I’m another one that wondered the same.

[@janiebrown5972]

What a clever idea. I also wondered how you could do it without so much waste so I put my first piece I wanted to laminate in one side then flipped the laminate pouch over to the other side, opened the laminate pouch and inserted a second piece I wanted laminated. So your two pieces of the white paper are sandwiched between the designs you want to laminate. Cause the laminating machine heats up both sides. If that makes sense x

[@annetteandhercrafts]

This is so cool. I like to separate the laminating sheets and laminate one side at a time. I also prefer wax or parchment paper instead of copy paper. It releases easier. But copy paper is so readily available, it's good to know it works too. Thanks for sharing.

[@donaldthompson7634]

Hi Annette.

[@salemdog100]

I'm new to the paper laminating thing. So the process will work if you cut the laminating "pouch" to make two single sheets?? I was going to experiment, but if you already figured it out, then I will just forge ahead!!

[@sheilagray2051]

Hi there, I'm a true papercrafter/hoarder and found myself saying out loud "no don't throw the unstuck ones away"! Sew them on your sewing machine. Is there anyone else out ther thinking the same? Thanks for sharing ... such a great idea ☺

[@nancypridham6556]

Yes!

[@influentialolive]

Same Technique! EXCEPT.... I have a tip to share with you.. Maximize your laminates, by putting an images on each side of the paper sandwhich, to get use of Both laminant sheets 🙃🙂 Thank you for sharing. I Often do this when making stickers... and, how I "preserve" colored leaves, that I want to use as stickers

[@cathystalcup2114]

I’m so glad to know I’m not the only person who can lose something on my desk when it’s within 12 inches of my hand. I enjoy your videos so much. I just found this one tonight and as luck would have it, my laminating machine came in the mail today. It’s fate. I know what I’ll be making tomorrow. Thank you.

[@dianewilliamson2913]

Love the idea!!! But I think that I would fold in the tabs before laminate then you would have paper to paper . Just an idea, thanks

[@magalilemarchand2543]

Sorry but how could you do that? This would have both right side and wrong side laminated so I can not see how this could work....?!

[@HodgePodgeHarmony]

That’s a great idea!

[@lindasmith4515]

Thanks for sharing this I would never have known about it.

[@torageirs6473]

You are so clever but I was just thinking that you can really use both sides to use all the lamination pouch I am so going to try that, Thank you for sharing. Im trying out a pouch right now :)

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I use to do basically this same thing with my cold laminator, for the same reason. Once laminated I could never get laminate to stick to laminate with anything I tried. Had no idea you could do it with heat laminate. I will do two sided so as not to waste anything, because I’m too cheap to waste one whole side. Thank you for showing this because I’d not seen this anywhere else. Have a feeling I know what I’m doing when I get up in the morning.

[@rinafitzpatrick3865]

Hi just another hint. Did you know that you can save 1/2 the laminating sheet if you cut the top where it’s joined and just put it through laminators with just the top sheet only. This way you save the back laminating sheet.

[@cmbutterbell]

I have got tons of laminating pockets. I thought I had a lifetime suppy! No I dont. Thank you very much for sharing. You have made my day.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brandiledell4795]

This is brilliant! Now I know how I can laminate my homemade stickers! 😲❤️👍🏻

[@SharonRStudio]

Brilliant! I think I will try doing designs on both sides with 2 pages in between to save laminating sheets.

[@SageWhite-Rose]

You can laminate your gift wrapping paper and then make gift boxes from it. It looks really great and people can either keep it recycle the boxes. 🥰🌹

[@donaldthompson7634]

Hi milli

[@valeriemacdonald273]

Thanks so much for the tip! I made a pouch for my granddaughter's birthday card. Then, I tried putting 2 sheets of double-sided DSP together back to back, the full size of the laminating sheets, and it turned out perfectly. So, I have enough to make 2 laminated pouches.

[@user-tr9fe7mt4v]

Ann - your creations are really amazing, fun, beautiful, and practical. Cards, boxes, envelopes, bookmarks, tags, portfolios, and SO MUCH MORE! You are the first that I would watch as a new card maker. I am very aware that there is MUCH preparation that goes into each tutorial as well as your skills and talent. Thank you for helping us and INSPIRING us to CREATE!

[@allielesiuk9446]

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

You are so welcome!

[@PamG012]

So you don't have any problems with the lamination releasing or separating from the paper? I'm kind of new to laminating but was told you have to leave a little edge where the lamination sticks. In other words, you can't trim our die cut them. But you do and it makes laminating so much more versatile & lovely.

[@jacquibrown4271]

I don’t think it matters here because it’s only one sided lamination not encapsulation.

[@PamG012]

@@jacquibrown4271 thank you, that makes sense.

[@gotinhasdemorangoclaudiago8687]

Funny, because i already do that! But I only use one sheet of paper and works fine! Love your projects videos. (sorry my english, because it is bad, mainly the written) Kisses from Portugal

[@patriciajohnstone4679]

I would just like to say that you are the best demonstrator there is . You will try anything and while you are making your project you talk us through it all . A lot of demonstrators don;t talk and don;t give measurements which makes it difficult if you want to make what ever. So thank you for your beautiful ideas.

I love your idea!!It feels so high quality and professional this way. I juss gotta Suggestion- You can make two envelops with single side lamination together without wasting the plain white paper.

[@carolewheeler3928]

Brilliant idea, Ann. Whilst watching the video I was wondering if I could use the back part (we crafters don't like waste do we, lol) and then I saw in the comments you mentioned about putting card in the back part! 2 for the price of 1 as they say! Happy crafting. Ty so much for this :) xxx

😊🤩

[@kishy696]

Amazing the die cuts through the laminate... ps u can double side laminate or u can split the laminate and use paper backing x

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Thank you Pam xx

[@greerjones9791]

OMG! This is such a game-changer for me. I was just sitting down trying to figure out how I was going to complete a project that requires that one side of a card be protected. I was contemplating using clear contact paper. Well, this technique is the answer to my question. I think that I will be able to use both sides of the laminating pouch to laminate twice as many cards at once by placing cards on the bottom of the pouch followed by 2 pieces of copy paper, adding the second layer of cards then closing and laminating. Thanks for sharing. I'm so excited!

[@colleengreen9164]

Brilliant and thank you to the American Lady whom you first saw this idea from. Regards from Australia !!

[@craftylittlemissk]

That's fantastic! I made a card for my grandson yesterday and really wanted the number to be shiny, but didnt want the bother of glossy accents so ended up leaving it matt. This technique will be fab for future projects. Thank you for sharing ..... oh and I LOVE your sparkly plates on the die cutting machine 😁

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Oh yes it will be brilliant for stuff like that :-) thank you xx

[@GrandmaWasRight]

I thought of using it for cards as well. Depending on the layout, the postcard (or whatever) can become a top- or side-fold card or gift tag, by keeping the (decorated) back and exterior seam intact!

[@chichidarl4309]

I found this video a while ago and tried it the other day. I recently found some newspaper I'd spray painted gold years ago, and really wanted to use it in a project, but it was slightly flaky, which also made it look amazing! I decided to try laminating 1 side, the other side was fabric and wanted to keep the texture. Such a fantastic idea!!

[@colaneripbg]

You could also put two pieces of card back to back and run thru laminator then cut edges and by that have two pieces of one side laminated paper to make envelopes or whatever....and not waste the backside of lamination pouch on plain copy paper...

[@michellewestwood6543]

Amazing I've made some to little ones love em

[@rayemillican856]

Thanks Anne, these would make great masks too as they would last forever (well a long time) just put tombow on the back and let it dry and it remains sticky enough to use as a mask like a post it note if u get what i am trying to say (to early in the morning for me to think) thanks for sharing.

I watched the video you made the other day where you were using "matt" laminating pouches and I was absolutely amazed,(and I had ordered some before the end of your video🤭) and now watching this I'm even more so!... Its such a great creative hack, and it makes making our own toppers, envelopes & more alot easier for us, especially as I still can't venture out to my local craft shop, but what I do have I can now easily utilise... Its laminating magik!... ...🔮🪄🧙🏼‍♀️... Im off to see what other wonders you hold in other videos...?... Have a wonderfully creative weekend, take care & stay safe my lovely... 💫😷🪄🖨🪄😷💫 (I know its a pic of a printer but it was the closest emoji to a laminater🤦🏼‍♀️)

[@vickymcgriff5660]

Omgosh I did the same thing.

[@carolstella6776]

I used to do this when I made glass blocks. I had one side with laminate and one side with adhesive. The design looked like part of the glass when it was laminated and was protected as well!

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Brilliant!!

[@shirleymurray8509]

That a good idea. You can also use the laminating sheets that do not require a machine. I think they are self laminating sheets. I started using them on purses because the ladies in my church wanted to be able to carry their purse without them being ruined by the weather.

[@PositivelyPapercraft]

Yes you sure can :-)

[@lidiabedolla3055]

I love it! I did 2 envelopes at once using both sides of the laminated sheet just trying to avoid wasting, and I sewn the borders to make them stronger no glue needed, thank you!
