Great idea Ann, not sure if anyone else has suggested but, if you leave some space at the side instead of cutting off all the excess pouch you could punch holes and use them in binders.
This is the best hack. I demoed this on my channel last year and didn’t think a little fan girl of yours (I love your creativity Ann💕💕) could leave a tip like this…and you’re RIGHT we are ALL so clever coming up with great ways of doing things!!! Please, everyone to use the packaging that comes on our die and stamp packages…laminate them and then you have a perfectly sized long lasting pouch for your supplies! You can also protect the tape flap so that it is laminated on one side but still sticky on the other ..keeps those little dies from sneaking out. Brilliance breeds brilliance your creativity makes us all think outside the box Ann 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕
@Gina McDowell, I agree with all that you and Ann said, and would add a couple of things. 1. When loading the cello bag into the laminator pouch, you could face the bag opening away from the white strip. Then cut the bag opening on the side opposite the white strip. Then you can still use the white strip to 3-hole or 2-hole punch, for storage in looseleaf notebooks. [Oops, Gina is that what you meant? Please excuse if I repeated what you meant.] 2. When you cut the thumb notch, you could cut it through just one layer of plastic. I find it a little easier to open the thumb notch if it is only on one layer. If it cuts poorly, sometimes a scrap of 20 lb printer paper (or baking parchment), placed above Or below the one layer of plastic in your punch cutter, will improve the cut. ☺️ Ann, this is exciting, the new products and the storage upgrade, thank you for sharing. 🙏☺️🕊
Hi Ann I love all your Hacks for the laminator and this one is just super. I have made so many pockets with snaps as well. So, many thanks to you and Jean Lindy xx
If you leave one side of the laminate on, trim the top, the bottom, and the right side. Punch holes on the left-hand side and store them in A4 File folders.
It sure would save on the laminator pouches for sure. Thank you so kindly for this hack. Will be using it the next time I need to make one. Be well & be safe.
Love the cello bag storage pocket. Could these be made with a wide enough blank strip on one side so they could be hole-punched for a 6 or 3 ring binder? Hmmmm . . .❤❤❤
A great hack and thank you for sharing this lady's wonderful idea! I use a folded piece of parchment (baking sheet-not wax paper) as a carrier to place things inside of my laminator. I don't seem to have a problem with it leaving marks or looking "wavy" when using it for longer periods. (But maybe my laminator doesn't get as hot as yours?). And I use a scrap piece of lightweight card stock behind acetate or vellum to stabilize so the corners and notches punch cleanly. (Not my idea - I saw it on TH-cam.) I enjoyed your video and think it's wonderful that crafty people are so generous about sharing all these great tips and techniques! Thank you, Ann, and Jean! Janet ❤ PS: Love your sweater (jumper)!
That is such a great idea Ann. I save bits in envelope s, but forget what’s inside. Now I will be able to see at a glance . I would be tempted to emboss my card before putting at the top, then when it’s cut off it will make a great bookmark . Thanks again Ann ❤
I really like this idea. Those little bags are great, but they can rip easily, I think the laminating pouch will make it a bit stronger, so it will last longer. Thanks for sharing this and your new items, love it.🙂
Morning Ann. I have been using this technique to make my shaker bookmarks. Once the image and shaker bits are inside the pouch, I seal the top edge with my fuse tool.
LOL on the cat hairs in our crafts! I get no royalty or anything from letting you know about this. I'm just one of those people that give our good information when I find it and have tested it. It's called a Lilly Brush. I had to stay with in in-laws for Christmas, they have no pets but I couldn't get a sitter for my cat. She is a meticulous housekeeper as is her husband (he doesn't like pets). My boy sheds like crazy so you can imagine the misery. LOL I happened to come across another poster that was showing this off and that was how I remembered. I'm always skeptical about claims but I was at wits end. I could only find it on Amazon. When I pulled it out and went over her blanket, good thing I was near a bed where I could fall on! LOL It worked and it worked great! Now I haven't tried it yet but I am thinking of it being quite useful on our crafting chair and even materials. I haven't tried it on clothes yet either, but hey, I'm skeptical about it working on these items as well.
Brilliant idea,Ann. I love all your laminator hacks and have got all my dies stored in the one you did with the 2 laminator pouches. I’ve got loads of cello bags, so will be trying this idea soon when I get some new dies. Ty once again. Have a great afternoon. Xx
I just went to check to make sure it was Amazon and found they have a Lilly brush now for sweaters! This one removes those annoying balls you get on your clothes. I know off topic, but again, sounds useful and I trust the company.
Hi. Thanks for sharing this and I'm really looking forward to seeing your next video as I'm always up for anything to do with storage. Hope you had a good weekend. 😃
This is great. I actually buy half page binder pockets and cut the hole strip off to store my dies. Since they are on magnet sheets they don’t need to be sturdy. I bet this will work with those for a new project I have in mind that I did want something stronger. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for sharing this, Ann. I know that I wouldn't use my laminator nearly as much if it weren't for all the great ideas you provide. Hugs from Maine, USA.
Great share thank you. Craft room storage, looking forward to that too. I still have the boards I bought, got a lot of sorting out to do in the craft room, bring it on 😄
Thank you so much for sharing Ann. It is always so nice to watch your videos. Now solve the shipping costs and I will order from you, also the products you recommended are awesome 💪
Oooh, lovely goodies, hun, and what a great hack! I need to make some more and I've just bought those bags, so you've shared it at the perfect time for me 😊 Thanks Jean for passing this on and thanks for sharing it, Ann xx
Thank you so much Ann, I really really enjoyed and appreciate your time and effort bringing us this cool idea. I really really love ❤️ it, and I could use it for storing my stamp’s in. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Hi Ann, Thank you to the lady that gave you this idea like all of your Laminator hacks I thought it was super cool thanks for sharing 👍 & I am looking forward to watching your video next week ❤️👍✨🙂
I have missed you! Thank you for this fabulous hack! I love my laminator that I bought after watching one of your videos! Of course I have watched allllll of them (I hope) and find them fascinating and very useful in my crafting! Glad you're back, Ann! TYFS
Could you run through a large stack of your stars(like in beginning) made with card through the laminator and cut them out and have completely finished shaker pouches?I’m sure someone’s done it but I thought that’s what you were going to do when you pulled out the star shapes😂
That was a great hint. I live in the US and am wondering what you and viewers recommend for a laminator! I do not want to spend for the top of the line version, but something practical and afordable. Thanks everyone ☺️
I am also in the US and I have the Royal Sovereign laminator. Jennifer McGuire recommended it because of the lower price point and quality of laminating. It looks like that is what Ann is using in this video too. I saw it on Amazon for around $30. Hope that helps.
Yes, she ships to USA. I live in Pennsylvania and recently ordered from Ann. Her inventory prices should automatically display in US $ or there is an option to set your location. Shipping cost will be high, especially in comparison to the cost of the products. However, that isn't Ann's fault. It shipped Royal Mail (international) and then transferred to USPS once it reached USA.
Ive been looking for those pokey tools for a while Ann and i’ve not long placed an order with you, Ive just gone on your website and its showing them all OUT OF STOCK Grr😢
@@PositivelyPapercraft I always seem to miss out as I can’t look at things until late in the evening. Do you have a mailing list and if so so can’t you put me on it please x
Hi Ann I loved the idea and tried it straight away but my bags melded together and even though I cut the top off it would not open. I then put a piece of copy paper in the cellophane bag before I laminated it and that worked. Not sure why the first 2 attempts never worked.
Great idea Ann, not sure if anyone else has suggested but, if you leave some space at the side instead of cutting off all the excess pouch you could punch holes and use them in binders.
That's a good idea💡!
I like your suggestion.

Hi from Australia. What a clever idea. I'd never have thought of this. Love it.
Very cool hack thank you so much :D
Hi from New Zealand, I am going to love making these ones ! I have made loads of the double ones and use them all . Thank you Ann for sharing .
This is great Ann, I will have a go at this as my stamps are at the moment in drawers it will make it far easier to sort them, thank you xx
Hi. Thanks for sharing this and I'm really looking forward to seeing your next video as I'm always up for anything to do with storage. Hope you had a good weekend. 😃
So glad you're back! I was starting to get worried. I missed you!! I love your videos.
I've made lots of pockets with your previous hack and this looks great especially as I bought some cello bags that were too narrow for my cards! Tfs
Brilliant idea. Good to see you back. X

Genius idea hun got loads of those cello bags and yet didn't even think of doing something like that until now that is lol xxx
Another good video, thanks Ann.

Hi Ann, this sounds a very good idea to try out. Will be trying, thanks to you, and Jean too for sharing.
Genius thanks Ann x
Thank you . Great hack!
Brilliant.x

Yes I love mine
Thanks Ann. Is it possible to do two bags at a time in an A4 pouch, cutting through the end of the bag at the opening end and around the sides?
Step one: be rich because laminators are expensive
Step two: buy one
Step three: own one
How do I order? I added stuff to the basket and then couldn’t find the basket to make the purchases?
just made an order :)
Is there any way you could teach the triple waterfall card in inches? PLEASE.
Debra if you go on Google and put in cm to inches it will convert the centimeters to inches for you.
How do you clean the stick & stamp mats to keep them sticky. My stick isn’t so sticky anymore
Your website says out of stock for the items you said at the start of this video you had back in…which is it please??
Because so many have come on and ordered and now I am sold out. More on the way
I'm from the US can I purchase items from your store
Yes, she ships to USA. I live in Pennsylvania and recently ordered from Ann. Her inventory prices should automatically display in US $ or there is an option to set your location.

More on the way, I've been inundated with orders since the video
@@PositivelyPapercraft I always seem to miss out as I can’t look at things until late in the evening. Do you have a mailing list and if so so can’t you put me on it please x
Shut the front door, now the bag won't bag will move around to make uneven like using laminate pouches
Huh? The bag won't bag will move...?
Rather than put plain paper put something pretty and make bookmarks. No waste.
So what’s the point ?
???
Hi Ann I loved the idea and tried it straight away but my bags melded together and even though I cut the top off it would not open. I then put a piece of copy paper in the cellophane bag before I laminated it and that worked. Not sure why the first 2 attempts never worked.
What a waste of plastic…shocking for the environment
Thanks for that hack. Smart. ☕️🍰🎉📐✂️
