Wow thank you so much! I’ve been researching so much if I can use thermal laminate pouches and then put it through the circuit and you answered all my questions! Life saver

Thank you I hate self adhesive always mess it up

@AngelicscalliwagsArt 6 ай бұрын

Thank you, that was super helpful as I thought the only way to laminate was to use self adhesive and I just know I'd struggle to use that without any bubbles and sticking to things I don't want it to stick to!! But splitting a thermal laminating sheet is such a great idea 🧡

@tabsartshop 6 ай бұрын

Yes thermal is so much better! I always got bubbles with self so I definitely prefer this way! :)

Thanks for sharing another great vlog. I was wondering if you could so kindly do a vlog on how you make your suncatchers. I have been working on these myself and was wondering if there were some additional tips or tricks that could help me. Thanks again for sharing and many blessings to you in 2024.

I tried this method and my sticker sheet is curling really bad I used the exact same laminating pouches and I have a scotch laminator which I heated on the 3 mil option, once cut out the individual stickers are still curling, enough to pull the edges up slightly is there anyway to remedy this? I thought this was such a good idea.

Are the stickers still flexible after laminating, for example to place them on a cup? Thanks for your videos, they are super helpful

@tabsartshop 6 ай бұрын

Yes but if there are smaller details they may start peeling up slightly after a while if placed on curved surfaces. But I have my JiJi sticker on a Starbucks tumbler and still great after months! :)

hello, does this affect the flexibility of the stickers? thinking of laminating a sticker wrap for my film camera

@tabsartshop 3 ай бұрын

laminating does make them thicker and not quite as flexible. So definitely keep that in mind! I do have one on my tumbler and it's been fine though!

You can make and film videos for whatever you want. But I would focus on doing your own original drawings if you’re going to open a shop.

Amazing, I do think every laminator might be different as I use own gear and as soon as you pick the sticker back up after placing it, it peels for me

@tabsartshop 16 күн бұрын

It probably does depend on sticker paper type, laminate brand, and how hot the laminator gets. But I’ve never had mine peel!

@cyberevie30 16 күн бұрын

Great video! Quick question, doesn’t the hot setting mess up the adhesive of the sticker? I thought I couldn’t to do them on hot, only cold to avoid damages to the sticker? Thanks again for the video

@tabsartshop 16 күн бұрын

Hi! They are still sticky afterwards! It could depend on how hot the laminator gets but I haven’t noticed any difference with the adhesive.

What settings do you use on cricut to get such a clean cut?

@tabsartshop 3 ай бұрын

it all depends on paper type, blade, and thickness. If you notice it not cutting through, keep upping the settings. I would try a custom one.

@TammieAnnCreative 2 ай бұрын

I’ve been using Acetate! Only had to do a second pass on intricate cuts, bowed mat, or dull blade. I’m always looking for a quick setting.

@Vannenanne 2 ай бұрын

Would laminating stickers allow them to be placed on cups and thermos?

@tabsartshop 2 ай бұрын

For the most part! Laminating does make them more water resistant. But it also makes them thicker so sometimes designs don’t work as well on curved surfaces.

@HannahArellano-mu5ub 6 ай бұрын

how thick is your thermal pouches? i use 125 microns and it peels off 😢

@tabsartshop 5 ай бұрын

These are 3M pouches. If it’s peeling off I would assume it’s not getting hot enough.

@perpub 24 күн бұрын

I have a faster simpler method of laminating a lot of stickers to sell. However, even though I add a slit for peeling my stickers in the back, there is still the danger of the customer not seeing the slit and peeling the laminate off thinking that's how you're supposed to peel them. I'm looking for ways to make laminated stickers secure from having the laminate peeled off. Does your method prevent someone from peeling the laminate off?

@tabsartshop 20 күн бұрын

Yes the laminate does not come off!

@AtinaEstrella 5 ай бұрын

@TammieAnnCreative 2 ай бұрын

I use Acetate when doing this laminate process. Depending on the blade sharpness and intricate cuts you might need to do a second pass.

I'd really like to know what laminator you're using because I was under the impression you can't laminate a single side with a lot of them? And I don't see it in your Amazon link

it's a hopvision but I'm not sure they make them anymore. It has more to do with the actual sticker paper and laminate though.

I have a question. Did you print your stickers on a regular piece of paper and then put the laminating sheet on it? I’m worried that if I do that, I’ll get a different result.
