Amazing, thanks!
I watched this video in its entirety and not only did u inspire me but it amazed me on how many different techniques there are. I'm a 66 year old woman who's never been in the work force nor did I learn anything about computer technology. However I've done crafts and sewing and all types of creative things my whole life. This interested me to the point that I'm planning on purchasing a Lazer computer. My daughter is willing to help me along. Never would I have thought to do this at this point in my life. You've helped me understand so much and besides inspiring me I've gained the confidence that I need to get started. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 4 this tutorial. I will b referring to it again it's to much to learn all at once.

this is amazing. I love to make crafts. I use contact paper.. I never thought to use it to transfer .
I’ve been using clear shelf liner forever… *** hint: use hairspray PRIOR to printing… AND AFTER! It helps the ink (ANY INK) to stick & still remains clear

Great tip!
*thank you for sharing all of your great ideas!* i once took a magazine photo that was very colorful throughout, of a leopard resting in the bushes, then used what they used to call contact paper, applied that sticky side down to the colorful image, rubbed it very thoroughly like you do so the ink gets imbedded into the stickiness, and then wet the paper and rubbed it off gently like you do. i had purposely cut the leopard image to fit a mirror *before* i started the rest of the craft project, and when i applied the sticky side to the mirror, it resulted in what looked like a slightly 3-D version of the picture. the key to making the mirror project look good is to be sure to use a very ink-saturated, fully colorful picture with very little white visible. that way, the mirror will shine subtly through the picture.

Hi, loved ur idea and after just watching this video i had thoughts on experimenting with contact paper also and just wanted to ask you - using contact paper, does it have to be a specific type/color/design contact paper ?? Will the color or design on the front 😊of the contact paper affect the image or graphic ur attempting to transfer? Im very new to all of this transfer & mod pod crafts but the lady in this video and ppl such as urself, who comment such crafting ideas in the comment fields are so Awesome, Kind and Generous to share your knowledge with the world - Thank You 😊 You Lady's have certainly inspired me and I couldn't be more Grateful ❤!

Good tip!
I’ve been playing with the packing tape transfer and found a marvelous source for plant images for which the paper practically floats off. The Baker Creek Seed Company puts out huge catalogs every year that have gorgeous images. I always preorder one and pour through them for new plants to try. The catalog costs about $20, but it’s about an inch thick and well worth it. Perhaps a gardener has one you might get for free. The other thing I discovered is clear bookbinding tape. It works like packing tape and doesn’t turn yellow over time.

Laser printer/copier toner isn't really ink at all. It's a plastic powder that is melted onto the page whereas an inkjet uses water-based inks. That's why some methods work and others don't.
The ModPodge coated carrier sheet and inkjet printer technique is impressive. For photos, could be my technique of choice for best color photo and resolution. Can't wait to try. Would wax paper work instead?

Hi, Thank you for showing us these methods, they are inspiring & clever. Questions;- I want to use full colour Christmas cards with old snowy village scenes (chocolate box type scene) to transfer images on to a defused white stiff Perspex sheet (A4 size) that lets light through or maybe use a white painted glass. I want to use fairy lights mounted on the rear of the Perspex or glass (behind the image) to give a glow or lighted background, this will then be encased in a shallow box or a deep picture frame (sort of diarama) with added texture at the front (create snow using baking soda & trees/branches using twigs or small fern leafs etc) to create a sort of 3D image. Would any of your transfer methods work? if so, which one is best?,......I only have a ink jet printer, but I would consider purchasing a full colour Laser printer at a future date if this creates better results - please give me your thoughts, any advice would be most appreciated - Best wishes to you.
