I’m one yelling “put it through again! It will iron out most wrinkles!” 😂
Me too.
Lol me too 🙂
I'm yelling - get some (slightly) thicker pouches ! or A5, A6 less area to wrinkle. 🙏💪👌
Me also😅
I’m yelling “Take the paper bit off the plug” 😁
I usually put flowers on the highest setting and put a thin pc of paper on each side of the flowers or leaf’s I’m laminating and that helps it not get stuck. I’ve ruined a laminator by it getting stuck and laminating itself around the roller inside that Machine. I usually put things thru a few times to get it flatter. Leave laminator on when your crafting. Don’t turn off in between and I also use my laminator to put things through that I’ve glued together usually with glue stick. It heats the glue and smooths out your tag or whatever your working on.
Those really added a lot of fun to your journal! Love you girl
LOVE YOU MORE x
Oh Tracie I do love your videos, you never know what to expect and they’re always so much fun! I think those pieces of white card with the folded edge that were in the packs are carrier sheets , they help hold your project flat and apply a little extra pressure as it goes through the machine? The mushroom tag would look great against a stamped cotton or calico background, and if you laminate two whole sheets back to back and then cut around the edges you end up with two single sided laminated sheets so you can still work on the back. Your ideas on using the results were fabulous! I am as usual so looking forward to your next video! X
I always make sure I have a piece of card stock or paper butted right to the closed portion of the pouch (the part that goes through first). This stops the rippling. I do a lot of laminating. 😀🇨🇦
So inspiring. I love how you keep going, unsure where you are being lead by your creative heart. I think the thing I love most about your example and leadership in this community is your decision making process. You are so inspiring. Thank You for your example and inspiration. SO many ideas it sparked in me with that. :) Thank You
Thank you. I had a lot of fun x
You can get laminator carrier sleeves that you place the plastic sleeve on before laminating. It prevents the sleeves from wrinkling and keeps the pouch flat
Hi Tracy, You can put a piece of painter's tape on your sewing machine about a quarter inch from the needle. It's like a guide to sew a straight stich . It will help you see the tread for those clear pieces. I like all your ideas. I never thought about stamping on the inside of the laminating pouch. 🙂
Look at you!! ⭐️ I’ve never thought of stamping between the laminate sheets. Now go check out single sided laminating for a softer look. Great for using napkins to make pouches! 😊
I love that you’re experimenting with the laminator. I’ve never considered using it in that way. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous. I recently picked up a laminator at a thrift store, but it’s only badge size about 3x4. I’m excited to try some of the stamped numbers and some dangles. Thanks for the inspiration. 🩵
I never thought of stamping on laminate or saving edges to stamp on. Great ideas 😀
As for wasting space on a laminator sheet I look at it this way. You have had these things for 5 plus years without using them, that was the waste. The experimentation is making good use of your supplies and a lot of it turned out great
absolutely x
Oh how fun was that! I love experimenting and finding new ways to make things. Extremely helpful too because I’m a newbie to using a laminator. Everything you created was amazing!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Loved it Tracie! You inspired me to get my laminator out again and try that stamping thing first. Great idea! Thanks so much for the mention 😘
Have fun!
Fantastic ideas Tracie! Now i want to get my laminator out to play!🥰
Most laminating packages come with the laminating sheets and a thin cardboard laminating folder. Once you load the sheets, place in the folder and then run through. The folder keeps the laminating sheets nice and flat with no wrinkles. You can use a simple thin file folder if one did not come with the laminating sheets package.
My laminator was sold with an A4 size card that you put under the laminating pouch , there is a little lip/ fold for the plastic to hold , that stops the wrinkling and it works really well for smaller items. 😊
you can put items all the way to the top. I use mine once in a while. Also if you are doing more than one, leave the machine on so it stays hot.
Love this idea. The laminator that we use in my place of work we have to place the laminate sheet inside a carrier sheet, which is like a thin cardboard/paper folder. I think it helps protect the laminate sheet from the intense heat, so seems to combat wrinkles, but also has the added benefit of making it easier to transfer your project from the work surface to the laminator. It gives it some sturdiness 🙂
Your originality never ceases to amaze me! Thanks! I enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed this laminating ideas. Lots.of cute makes x
Thanks so much 😊
30 yrs ago when I needed a laminator, they weren’t readily available like today. I had to pay $375.00 for it through a local art supply shop! Thank heavens, folks don’t have to spend so much for one. It is an excellent machine and I’m so glad I’ve hung onto it.
Oh wow! Thats a LOT of money! x
Looks like you had a blast! Way to go, Tracie! Great projects!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great ideas Tracie. You can actually use the pouches all the way to the top as they are actually made to laminate full pages of paper. I’m not sure why your machine was wrinkling so badly at the top but it may have be because your machine is not actually hot enough even though it is green or perhaps you need to move your sheets closer to your lights to feed through. As you worked out you can refeed your pouches through to help get rid of wrinkles. If you let them cool down you will have more success. You can even feed from the opposite end too so the wrinkles from the top are being pushed the opposite way.
Enjoy your experiments.
Oh thank you so much for this info x I am loving it, have lots of ideas but short on time for a few more days x
Fabulous darlin! I think I would tend to put it through the laminator more central too? Going to have to find some smallish leaves! 😊💚🇦🇺xxx
I am cracking up😂😂😂 You are killing me...menopause brain...I feel you!❤
I would have never thought of stamping on it. Good idea
37 years of school laminating disasters all came back to me as I watched this…
I believe it wrinkled the first time because it went thru crooked and caught on the side. Running it thru a few times fixed it right up
It's really good to see that the lamination machine is in working condition. Thanks for the detailed demonstration it really helped ☺️
Thanks for watching!
#Replay try putting a thin horizontal strip of card stock inside the pouch. That may give some durability for the pouch to go through the machine.
❤ J'adore 😻 Thank you Tracie ❤
Fantastic ideas thank you.
I think you'll find if you leave your laminator on to heat up more you won't get the wrinkles (the hotter the better) and you can feed the pockets through several times.
Thanks for the info!
I LOVE me some lamination!! I'd been making pouches with Julie at Camelia Crafts Designs and my laminator quit on me, so I ordered another one on Amazon. Later THAT SAME DAY I was at the store, found a laminator for seven bucks, and was so excited I totally forgot I'd ordered one just a few hours before and bought it. 🤦🙄🫢 Anyway, I now have TWO laminators and am ready to go. LOVE the simple numbers clipped randomly here and there! TYFS!! Hugs, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
Oh you can get more done with 2 going lol x
Absolutely stunning ideas. ❤❤❤
Over and over, I see people pulling these laminating machines back out. 😂 I have been waiting to find one used. Thinking it would be cheaper. But, they really are not that much cheaper used. I haven’t found one in a thrift store either. I’m not sure why. I guess people hold onto them thinking that maybe they’ll get back to it again 😂. Anyway, this was a great play and I found one on eBay. So I hope to be trying all these fun tricks in a few days! Thanks for the wonderful inspirations! Hugs 🤗❤️
thank you for the inspiration! Love the ideas!
I've thought about getting a laminator, and watching you gives me more inspiration to do so. Thanks for sharing, Tracie. 🙂♥️
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing ! Loved the video and reminds me I should bring out my laminator!
Go for it!
Total game changer!! I love these ideas! Thanks for experimenting with us!! ❤
Love the things you've made! Very unique items for a journal ❤
This was so fun! Thanks for experimenting and taking that leap - definitely going to try a few of these techniques ❤
Thanks for all the great ideas. I am going to try these ideas🌴💕
Brilliant ideas 😍
More great ideas I can’t wait to try…thank you!
Have fun!
I love your ring binder journal. That’s actually my preferred method of creating a journal. The laminating to create ephemera is a great idea. So fun. To prevent wrinkling at the top you may want to try moving your pouch a little to the right when inserting. Your roller pressure may be uneven.
Super Idee, werde ich ausprobieren.🤩👍👍👍
Great ideas!
I love all the little bits, and i love that the stamping works so well, i never thought of doing so. Thank you!♥♥♥
Thank you so much!
I've got a laminator I've only used a handful of times myself! It's come in handy a few times for sure but I definitely don't use it as much as I probably should. 😂
So much fun😜
I’m going to have to try this with leaves. They look cool.
it comes with a paper cover you put it in between and yes you can put in again inside the SLEEVE
I work in a primary school. I have gone to battle with the laminator demons in many forms over the years (with different types of machines and pouches). This video has had me giggling all night. 😂🤣 For that I say Thank You! 🥰 Laminating needs sage advice and time with the machine, as each one is different. Lush creative ideas here! 🥰
Very interesting...I have been doing much of this in the past couple of weeks. Crinklied as well...ran it through again...
I’m in love with the book page tags!!
I love the menopause brain...have I done this before 😂 that's a day in my craft room 😁
Bonjour Tracie.
Je vous suis sur votre chaîne depuis quelques mois déjà sans avoir oser mettre un commentaire.
Aujourd'hui je me permets de vous écrire 😊
J'aime énormément ce que vous créez ,chaque vidéo est très inspirante, même si je ne ne comprends pas vos paroles, vos mains parlent et me permettent de comprendre.
Je n'aurais jamais pensé à utiliser ma plastifieuse de cette façon.
Merci pour vos partages tellement inspirants.
Amitiés de Normandie ( un très beau coin de France )

Je suis tellement contente que vous puissiez suivre, je pense que vous devriez également pouvoir obtenir des sous-titres en français en utilisant le rouage des paramètres. J’apprécie tellement votre visionnage et vos commentaires. Prends soin de toi. Bises à toi x
@@TracieFoxCreative j'ai réussi sur vos conseils à activer les sous-titres en français.
Je vous remercie.
Amicalement.
@@sylviepouly-gerard2957 Un cordial bonjour en France, chère Sylvie, la Normandie est très belle, j'y ai passé quelques semaines de vacances en camping il y a environ 50 ans, quand j'étais enfant. Des plages de rêve.
Merci de continuer à oser poster. On ne peut pas se tromper et nous sommes tous très heureux de recevoir les expériences, les idées et les impressions d'autres artistes dans le monde entier. 🥰 Amitiés d'Allemagne ❤️ et beaucoup de plaisir à bricoler.
@@MonaLisa-xc5dm merci pour votre retour. Le scrap est basé sur le partage. Même sans se connaître en personne c'est vraiment génial d'échanger sur un thème qui nous est cher.
Amitiés normandes.
I really like this ideas ! 😊
I always put the folded part in first. I don't know which way is right now. I am going to have to dig out the instructions! Thanks for your creativity
Fold fist :-D x
Thanks for sharing…..great idea!😊
Thanks for watching!
Very cool! ❤
Tracie, love the project, you are so creative. I believe the clear should be put in that white fold and then run in the machine, in middle is the best, I feel that temperature may have been to low.
Thank you so much sharing, big hugs Tracie.
Such great ideas 💐
Thank you! 😊
Loved this so much. Great to watch you experiment. I have a laminator so am looking forward to trying these ideas. Recovering from the flu, so this cheered me up a lot.
Wonderful! Feel better soon x
I had a similar experience with my laminator. I learned quickly NOT to use small laminating pockets. Lol, I ended up with material getting stuck inside my laminator and wavy leaves. After cooling the machine I was able to get out all the stuck things. I’m going to try to flatten my wavy leaves with my craft iron and a fabric pad. Love watching you and the stamping idea.
Absolutely you can put things through multiple times 😊 you can also put things all the way to the crease. These are some lovely ideas, thank you ❤
super cool votre vidéo avec de bonnes idées merci et bon week end
Tracie, the leftover pieces of your laminated sheets, like the one you did the stickers and tag on, can be used as the windows in slides or other projects that have a frame or window. LOVE the stamped ones! 👍❤️
These are all just darling, I really, really love that ladybird tag! Now I'll be on the lookout for an inexpensive laminator and pouches 😂 TFS 😊
Keep the laminate in the middle and in straight. Also, for those that said you should have a cover type sheet to put the laminate in, these smaller machines don't normally come with them as they don't need them.
Excellent!
What a fabulous video Tracie. I too like others were saying, YES put it back through. haha.. Love what you have already made with a few. so very creative. The simplicity of the numbers, cut out, then stapled is brilliant. I can't wait to dust my laminator off and get it out to play. Many thanks. Debs. ❤
Thank you for the shout-out and linking a video! I love what you're doing with the stamps and dried flowers. Lovely ideas for adding little bits to made ephemera. Now I have to get my laminator out and play again. It's really quite a bit of fun! ✨️💖✨️
Thanks again!
love what you made. Maybe I DO need a laminator. :)
You’re so funny. I loved this video….great idea 😊
😍❤️ TFS Tracie! I bought a laminating machine a couple of weeks ago for some regular laminating work. Thanks to you, I will have more uses for it.
Have fun!
Inspired 🤩 Will give it a try . Thanks Tracie 👍🏻
Have fun!
I've never used mine and keep thinking I should take it out. You've inspired me to just do it! ~Velvet
You sounded just like me when I first tried laminating 😆 I haven't done a lot of it but love storing my dried botanicals like this ready to cut when needed and I keep my off-cuts to stamp on. Love all the pieces you made 😘 Watching while I get my DT project cut up☺💕
Well that was fun!
Cool stuff ❤
Lol....Never a dull moment when watching your videos. Another great idea(s).
Glad you like them!
Love this. I wonder if you could use alcohol ink then stamp. My gears are turning. Thank you for sharing your experiment ❤
I learned so much from this video!
Glad it was helpful!
🙏🏼🧸 lol just happens to be pulling out the laminator two weeks ago but needed to wait for my son to bring me new cause I ran out of pouches so this week I’ve been using it again. Will try this too. U can use your iron to flat wrinkles. I sometimes pull it three times through before I ‘m satisfied 🍀
Now I remember when I first got it tried to put everything in it; made earrings wit flower petals and such
Wonderful!
That was fun Thanks 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰
Great ideas….
Great ideas, thank you - I was offered a laminator recently but didn't think I had a use for it - how wrong was I !!
OH no, can you say yes now? Hope its not too late x
Love this idea. I just bought an inexpensive laminator from Amazon after watching this. LOL I also have an idea...Wouldn't it look fun if you cut the stamps out with pinking shears? I think it would look really cool!! TFS
That would be cool!
So I just watched this video and I'm not sure about your laminator but we have one at work (1970's model probably 😂) but we use a laminating protective sheet it's made of a special thick cardstock & the plastic doesn't stick to it but it should not wrinkle if you us one of those. Hope this might help you 😊
If you use a swiffer cloth on the inside you will get rid of the random dust on the inside
Oh, how great! ❤ Thanks for the great inspiration. I really like the stamps. Such small transparent tags have a lot of charm. You could also punch them out with die cuts. Maybe a colour will dry on the laminating film. Maybe alcohol inks? Then you could also colour in a stamp.
I can also think of a collection of cool little pictures on overhead film, such as stamps, small signs, labels, symbols, photos, etc.and print them out on a laser printer.
I think the laminated, small green sheets combined on tags are also really cool!
I already have so many ideas, I'm going to try them out tomorrow. I'm already looking forward to it! Thank you for sharing, my dear Tracie ❤
💙 Best wishes from the German Baltic coast 🌾🐟🐚
PS. If you have waterproof, coloured ink, you can of course also use a small brush to colour a stamp on laminating film. You don't need alcohol inks to colour stamps 😅🙈 ... 🤔 although the alcohol inks used in a different way, i.e. watercolour-like, abstract, marble ‘clouds’ laminated in, might also look interesting and pretty ...
Oh new idea to try! thank you xx
There should be a carrier sheet that came in with the pouches. Once you get the goodies in the laminating pouch, then you put the whole thing into the carrier sheet and then through the machine. Hope that helps :)
Yes! That’s what I was yelling 😂
"I have a bit of a menopause brain..." oh, how I can relate ;)
Turns out I didnt make any before lol x
Laminating Queen! 😃
Mine is not like your's but i have to put my plastic between to cardstock i had when i bought my laminator!❤😊
You put it in near the edge so it didn’t have much room so it’s puckered! Always place your item in the middle 🫢🌸
Fabulous idea's for using our poor forgotten laminators 😂
❤❤❤
