Oooh, a new Karen’s Kards video!!! I love these laminate folder cards. On the first card did you cut a circle frame of glittered laminate to put over the edges of your circle?

Thanks so much Kim! I used Distress Mica Flakes inside the laminating folder and that gives most of the sparkle. I hope that helps! ❤️

Great projects. i love all of the laminating tips. I am curious though, why not just run it through the laminator one time with a single sheet in the pouch instead of twice to get the double sided laminating? Not doubting you, just confused.

@KarensKardzz

Жыл бұрын

Thank you Dina! Sometimes I do run things through with only the one sheet, but if it’s likely to move around without the extra support, I tend to put it through with the two sheets. Usually, this is when I have loose glitter in the pouches. And the only reason I do that, is I’ve done it with the one sheet for support and had it tip over and move around, so now I’m nervous about the one sheet. 😂💕

love your ideas and your video! Can you please tell me which laminating pouches you used? Thank you.

Hi Lacey, thank you so much! I have been using the Amazon Basics laminating pouches. I also have thicker 5 ml Scotch pouches, but I did use the Amazon ones in this video. I hope that helps! ❤️❤️

A wonderful tutorial! Any tips for the reverse stamping?

@KarensKardzz

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Rennie! For the reverse stamping, I used a piece of clear packaging acetate that I placed in my stamp positioner in the corner. I stamped onto that and then placed my cardstock over it and pressed down. The image is never as great as stamping onto cardstock, but I traced over it with a Copic pen afterwards. I hope that helps. 😊💕💕

Very cool techniques with a laminator! So it is only the mica glitters that work well with this technique?

@KarensKardzz

Жыл бұрын

I’ve tried a few other frosty type glitters, but they seem to become “invisible” after being run through the laminator. The Distress mica flakes seem to be thicker and more opaque and they keep some of that frostiness. As for the Distress Glitter Dust, it’s just super sparkly and that shows up after laminating. I’m sure there are other gold or silver glitters that would probably work also. If you have some, maybe test out small batches first? I’ve even tried some sparkle pastes with mixed results. I hope that helps! 💕💕

What is a parchment carrier and where can you get laminated folders

@KarensKardzz

Жыл бұрын

Hi Robin, a parchment carrier is just a folded sheet of thin parchment paper and mine came with my laminating machine. As for the laminated folders, you can find those in most office supply stores or Amazon. I’ve been using the Amazon basics 3 ml laminating folders but I also have the Scotch 5 ml folders which are thicker. I hope that helps!

I like your card idea. I just don't like the Santa. It would have been cuter to have a penguin, snowman, or reindeer face.

I would advise not to do that trump! Because other stuff can come out.
