Linda, clear laminating sheets work wonderfully.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Great! I will try that as well you could get quite a few circ

Beautiful card and such a clever idea using packing tape! So happy to see you back! Keeping you and your family in our prayers.

[@evawarren8739]

Very beautiful cards, I love the shiny baubles, great idea.

[@dorothywatson8332]

Beautiful cards

[@sheilaperl4155]

Very pretty cards, I like the cards that have the red sprigs hanging down the baubles!

[@wagnerdee]

How pretty! I like the tip of the packing tape for the ease of doing smaller portions at a time. I have used contact paper before and it does pretty well too, and laminating machine works, but not everyone has one of those the the packing tape is a great alternative! Thank you for sharing this technique. The cards are lovely!!!

[@merriedreyer4371]

Does the laminate sheet make the paper look a little bit dull?

[@wagnerdee]

@@merriedreyer4371 The laminate sheet doesn't make it look dull, but it isn't shiny like the process Linda has shown us here. I think I will like to try Linda's process to see what the shiny result will look like. The contact paper is more of a hassle, and I really don't like the look of the finished product as well. Depending on if you use cheaper quality contact type paper or the regular Contact Paper makes a difference. The off brand seems to not work as well, and it is not as nice looking. I Hope this helps.

[@brendadeacon5714]

Hi Linda Thank you for this tip!!!! I needed to make some die cut gears but I didn't have any glossy silver...so I taped over some gray paper!!!! So great!!!!

[@nbenefiel]

another pretty look is to cover the packing take with glitter and putting it over a stamped paper. It gives a soft, muted look.

[@teresafoster3559]

Love the cards. What a wonderful idea using packing tape. I will certainly give it a try. Thanks for sharing such a useful idea.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

You are so welcome!

[@maryredfield8800]

Such a pretty and classic card. Really like them both. The inside is lovely and creative as well simple and classy.

[@lynntee29]

Like this card,Linda! Making the balls shine with packing tape is a new way of looking to make a pretty Christmas card! From Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada.

[@jackieray3860]

Beautiful cards and a very different technique. TFS!

I binged your KZbin post most of the evening. Being brand new to card making, I find that I enjoy watching for now. You have some really beautiful cards and I look forward to learning. I've been purchasing some tools, dies, and stamps, but I haven't cut a card yet. I think I'm going to start today. Its November 2020, so thank you for sharing your skills and tips. I'll go to one of your more current post to purchase with up to date offers.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Welcome, Madonna! Feel free to call me with questions, I love helping. This is a very rewarding hobby and you are joining a very generous community. I look forward to hearing about your progress. Thanks for watching.

[@kathypowers8516]

I love this! I am watching this late. My cards are done and sent, but I still enjoy this a lot. I may find a way to do it with your Feels like Frost bday card. What do you think?

[@judyestrada1446]

Linda I have heard of people using the packing tape . I just never tried it. Not sure if it would die cut very well or even at all. Thanks for sharing this video with us! 👏👏💕

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

It definitely die cuts. Die cutting is actually a better option.

[@pamsimmons6893]

pretty cards linda!!! thank you for sharing :)

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Glad you like them!

[@barbarapalczewski5341]

Gorgeous card! You really knocked it out of the park with this one! So striking and unique! The packaging tape is a great touch!

[@sharonpeck88]

I like this idea as I don't have many dies but have circle punches, packing tape and the sprig punch I could substitute. The metallic gold leaves give it a classy touch and one could use a red bow ribbon or bow die for a pop of red if one doesn't have the berry die or possibly use a half circle punch to make a couple of red berries. It would also be a convenient way to use up some smaller scraps of leftover holiday DSP. The glossy look of the bulbs give it a wow factor. One could make it with smaller circles on notecards for holiday thank you's or a holiday scrapbook page or even Christmas gift tags with a bit of white glitter on the leaves for some extra sparkle. This one is going in my idea journal.

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Good ideas all!

love using the tape on the dsp!

[@craftysandyscards]

Thank you so much for this tip Linda, its brilliant ♥️🎄♥️

[@vayes7958]

Such a clever idea....

[@wanderwoman3882]

I do this with 1/2 of a laminate sheet and laminate only one side of the paper, no seams....easy to die cut too

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Brilliant!

[@pattimoffett6648]

Would clear contact paper give the same effect? certainly wider

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Patti it might let me know if you try.

What size circle punch did you use? thank you! :D

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

Hi Jody I used a 2 inch punch.

[@pamelawillsteed9144]

Thinking of you 💐

[@dorothywatson8332]

How are u trying to find u

[@cp21mimi]

how about using a laminator or a Xyron?

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

I think the laminator will work, not sure about the Xyron. I think that one just ads glue to the bottom to make it a sticker, yes?

[@cp21mimi]

You can 'laminate" with a Xyron, It is not only for adding glue to the bottom...it can laminate on both sides of the paper if you wish.

[@moniqueblondel5829]

On second card we hardly see the greenery

[@LindaInkandIngenuity]

You can add more original different greenery if it appeals to you. Thanks for watching.
