Happy Saturday! Ahhh...the weekend and here in the States, it's a holiday weekend. Today's make and share features stamping and laminating.
I was inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video where she shared a technique using a laminator. To create my card, I stamped the image, from Bo Bunny's Vintage Botanical Journal stamp set, on the inside of a laminating sheet using Stazon Solvent Ink. I let this dry thoroughly and ran the sheet through a hot laminator. The result is a stamped image encased in the laminating sheet.
I die cut the image with a scalloped oval die and strategically placed drops of glue on the piece to adhere to a cream colored die cut card. I die cut a small panel and mounted the image on this panel using foam pads. Then mounted the entire panel on the card base using foam pads. Lastly, added cream colored seam binding and 2 sentiment strips from the Tim Holtz "Clippings" strip pack. The designer papers are from the Prima Marketing "Romance Novel" 6x6 paper pad.
It's a unique and interesting technqiue that produces beautiful results. Give it a go, just remember to use an ink that can be used on a surface such as a laminating sheet.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
