I am a huge fan of Jennifer McGuire, a leading card maker in the stamping industry. On Jennifer McGuire Ink website, Jennifer made a video on how to use a laminating pouch as a shaker window. Jennifer demonstrated that you could use pigment inks to stamp inside a the laminating pouch to make a sturdy window for shaker cards. Having learned how to do this, I decided to see if I could use a laminating pouch and emboss it. Then I decided to colored the stamped image, in this case a Christmas tree , with Sharpies. I ran it through the laminating machine. To my surprise it worked well.
Instead of having a one sided shaker ornament, I decided to create a panel on the inside of the ornament and shaker on the front and back of the star. I’m such a visual person that I thought a short video might do more justice than writing about it. Nevertheless, I hope it makes sense.
