So wonderful seeing the shrink plastic again. Had entirely forgotten about it... but now with the dies, it's even better. What is better is hearing your voice again. Cheers, dear boy. joanie

These pieces turned out beautifully! Thanks so much for showing both black and white shrink plastic and also thank you for sharing the tape roll trick! That's brilliant and I've always battled that stuff flying around! :-)

[@pattiepan]

love how vibrant they came out and then what you did with it in a card.................pat

[@denisebryant3376]

Haven't used shrink plastic in a long time. I forgot what a fun project it is! Love the finished pieces!

[@StarLitStudio]

Dave - love the tape roll use!!!

[@annihilator45]

Great idea for accent pieces! Thanks for sharing this video.

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

Love this technique. The stamp is beautiful.

[@NancyLynn]

This was so cool Dave and you picked the perfect piece to color and shrink...TFS!

[@angeladear9237]

I love the magic of shrink plastic and had no idea I could use color pencil on it. I cannot wait to try this.

[@teresadoyle1396]

These are so cute Dave, I haven't done this since my kids were little. A great idea for on cards though. Love it.

[@bettyhall9777]

Thank you so much for the great idea, lovevthat, so pretty . Love watching to see what you do next. You are very talented . Tfs, have an awesome day

[@SueD.]

Love this--thanks for the tips.

[@stampnurse]

Such fun & beautiful projects!

[@BlondieSaidWhat]

I love that you used a heat gun instead of putting it in an oven. Will definitely try this instead of the oven.

[@pamelasertich9850]

What a great video and showing how to fix it when it curls and sticks, thank you so much

[@NKunihisa]

Have to admit, I've watched a lot of shrink plastic videos and this is the first that's used sandpaper. Good call.

[@kristinevencel2898]

Such a fun technique!

[@cindybearj]

I've never used shrink plastic. I feel left out! The finished product is so cool.

[@eevagirl]

So clever your technique!

[@theresehudran7635]

WOW! WOW! This is really good thanks

[@dgmlmax]

This is such a great idea. I love the cards. Where did you get the black shrink plastic?

[@katkathi8882]

I used to do this years ago for cards for my nieces, but I would add a hole, ( before shrinking)and after they received the card they could remove the accent piece and the chain or pretty skinny ribbon( that I also included in the card) and have a pretty necklace to wear

[@razzvanwinkle9718]

What a wonderful idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@wilmavis1979]

where do l buy this shrink plastic? thanks

[@icardeveryone01]

well WHO KNEW?!?! Dave did! LOve this little charming heart ... hope you've added a source for the shrink plastic - off to look! Thanks!!! =]

[@melodyengland4439]

Thank you for sharing this great idea, but what is that item called, where you placed the heart stamp onto the thing with the 3 hinges & the door, this thing is great, because stamping isn't always done perfectly the 1st time, please respond, thanks.

[@nancyh9125]

Can you tell me where I can find stamps and clip art large enough to use for shrink? Can't find anything.

[@Makirollspls]

I really need help with this ! I did use my prismacolour pencils after I baked them they looked super grainy !!!! What should I dooooo?! 😭😭😭

[@timeenuf4200]

Great demo! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, talent, time and inspiration. Sadly it looks like the wireworks stamp is no longer in production. What a beauty especially the way you colored it.

[@ChiBStudio]

I’ve never seen a fold-over stamping method (I dunno what it’s called, I do t do stamping) Where did you get that or did you make it? How did you make it and how do you get the stamp to stick onto the clear grid?

[@eevagirl]

Great style you

[@razzvanwinkle9718]

After searching all of the links and comments, I am still mystified. WHAT is that ingenious device you are using to hold the paper and the stamp in alignment for the re-inking process??? You have done a great job here. I really enjoyed your presentation and found it very instructive as well as inspirational. Keep up the good work.

[@lindaburnette2200]

Razz Van Winkle Did anyone ever answer her question about the stamp alignment device he used is called?

[@smoricon93]

Che colla usi?

[@blessings13]

Hi Dave - Does the shrink plastic come in clear?

[@MemoryBoxCo]

It sure does! And you can then color on the front...or the back!

[@clairewinkler1392]

here is a link to the stamping device he used. It's called a MISTI www.scrapbook.com/store/msp-64124.html?t12-13=my+sweet+petunia
