a few suggestions: place a piece of scrap copy paper between your layers and you don't have to worry about the alignment, for the cutting of the indents put it back into your punch board to punch the laminate

What if you laminate two sheets of paper FIRST, then separate them and cut into squares and proceed as you started...?

What a brilliant idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Great job and an excellent suggestion from whoever suggested it!

These are great Linda! Awesome tutorial on making them! Thank you! God bless!!!

Oohhhh, can’t wait to make some of these!! Definitely a great craft show idea! TFS❤️❤️

Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing this project. 💜

Genius I can't wait to do that myself I am so into laminated gift cards and envelopes it's right up my alley

Thank You, Linda, I always love watching you create and haven't seen you in a while.

Fab project Linda ! They look great, and now, I want the snaps too ... Thought of them a while since but passed them over - think again then. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea thank you to the lovely lady who suggested this idea ❤️

Very clever indeed. Thanks for this great tutorial.

Love all your videos what a great idea 💕

Omg. Awesome. Agree with a small bit of removable tape runner. Fantastic idea love them

Well done that’s my Christmas money wallets taken care of so quick and simple thanks again for a great video x

Woohoo! Thanks for trying that, and so glad it worked!

Love it,will definitely try it today!

Absolutely fantastic 👍💐

I watched yesterday's video and have ordered the Kams. I love this project Linda thanks for sharing x

Your video presentation was BRILLIANT! Such a an excellent idea!

I love making these. I made about a dozen a few months ago. I use them for gift cards and money holder.

What a great idea. Love it I will be doing this...

Congrats, it works🤗 So lovely❣️Thanks Linda. Lyne xxx😘

love this idea..can't wait to try this

I have only just seen this, Linda ! Love it, will try it too. Maybe I missed others, will be playing catch-up then ! Thanks for sharing.

After watching your previous video, where you used the snaps, I thought they would be perfect for making my masks adjustable. They work brilliantly!! Great ideas

Thank you soo much dear, im realy happy to see this video , because i was searching that how to make lamination on paper , so because of you, i finaly learned how to do . Love you sooo much.

To save the problems of the lining up, you could put them either side of an A4 sheet of paper. I was waiting to try this out before I commented on the last video but now you have done this one Linda I think my idea would work too.

Very cute. The button can be used for the center of the Daisy punch. You could our a little Daisy onto your little pouch. Great idea. Have a great day.

Great tutorial thank you for sharing.

Awesome! Well done. It can be tricky to get them to stay in place as you feed them in the laminator, but they worked really well. 😊

Wonderful tutorial Linda and I really did enjoy it. I think it is a good idea to use retired stock for experimenting and confidence boosting how else is one supposed to use up old stock. I have seen quite a few demonstrators use retired stock in their card tutorials and I am all for it. Keep on crafting you are a very talented lady. I look forward to your next tutorial.

I love that idea that is so awesome I have lots of paper I try that thanks

What a great idea, thanks for sharing :) x

What a Fun Idea to share! Thanks!!

What a great idea! (You could add a small dot of tape runner to join the two pieces of DSP to hold them in place when placing in the laminating folder.)

How cute, very many thanks for sharing,vi will definitely give them a go :)

I enjoyed both videos and I really like this idea. The recipient could also use the holder for paper money after the gift card is used. Will be getting some snaps, too!

These would be great for business card holders tfs

Fun project! Thank you

Very nice. Thank you!

I watched your first video for these and I did think that you were wasting the laminating pouch when you could make four! I haven’t made any of these but I intend to! Thanks for the video!

Love this idea! TFS

Cute little gift card holders. Great idea to use the laminator. I had to have those snaps! Thank you for introducing them to me. Got a great bargain through Amazon.

What a cute idea!

They would make great little money wallets for kids to

looks great. Oh I see. only laminated on one side. great idea

Gosh what a great idea, it's really pretty .TFS n oh new subbie here 🙋

Love these!

Very Nice! Thank you! You can use double sided tape in-between your paper pieces (squares) in the center to secure them together so they will not slip unaligned.

Hi Linda, I made the gift card holders following your step by step instructions and they turned out brilliant. I am now just awaiting some colourful press studs in order that I can colour coordinate. A bit quirky I know but I think it will look good. I try to do as many of your lovely projects as I can. Next up is the sleeved gift box.

So cute! thank you!!

What a cleaver ideal 😊 TFS

Great idea!

Nice work I like it

Hi Linda, really enjoy your videos! You have such a lovely voice and your instructions are clear and concise! Wanted to ask a very big favor! I have 2 maybe 3 stampin up bigz favor box dies that I haven’t figured out how to put together! If you have the dies would you mind making a video show how to make them? I am a visual learner and really am lost with what I’ve found online! LOL I will completely understand if this isn’t possible. I’m sure there is a lot of preparation that goes into making videos. That isn’t something I have tackled to date! LOL Love your channel!

Great idea

I love this thanks

Nail scissors are a great choice for small curves. To help with laminating, I use an A4 cutting mat and hang the fold of the pouch over the edge before placing the papers in. Then I just lift the mat and feed the edge into the machine, minimal movement

What a great idea.tfs

Brilliant.

Lovely little money pouches.

What a most excellent idea! Could you punch the side divots back in the envelope punch board? Great project, thank you for sharing it. Blessings, Darby

Yep. I would adhere them before laminating.

To darn cute !!!

Maybe try a folded piece of low tack tape between the envelopes to keep the pieces from moving.

Worked great Linda. Would it be easier to put the snap on before you seal the sides?? You could mark the place with it folded then open it back up and do the snap then seal the sides up... Hugs Ali xx

Maybe this will help, but it’s what I do with laminating pieces I don’t want to move inside the sheets. when lining up your pieces on the laminating sheet, place a sheet of heavy duty cardstock underneath the laminating sheet, leaving a gap of approx an inch at the top. This will not only make it easy to feed the sheet through the laminator, but also gives stability to the pieces you’ve placed on the laminating sheet. (You don’t actually feed the cardstock through the laminator. )

Place two sheets of copy paper in between the envelopes. No need to try and get them perfectly on top of each one. Loved these though!

Genial !!!!

Cute! 💖💖💖🌹🤓

I watched the other video and thought the exact same thing!

Try laminating the squares first and then punching and scoring. Might be easier to cut apart.

U could also put 2 full sheets of copy paper between the envelopes... then u don’t have to line things up perfectly and they will separate as soon as u cut off the edges of the copy paper

A good way to keep them together before you laminate them is to stick them together first with double sided tape and them send them through the laminater

What Christmas DSP did u use with the 1sr envelope that u demonstrated? It’s beautiful

Would it not be easier to do the snaps before sticking the folds? TFS 👍

Hi Linda, which double sided tape do you use?

What type of double sided tape is that? It"s nice and thin.

Hold the paper together with WASHI TAPE when using the envelope punch board. Before laminating can you stick the envelopes with double sided tape so it doesn't shift?

Love them. What is the tool called please? I’m in Australia,Thankyou

Great idea! What if you laminate the papers first then use envelope board? Might be easier to line up.

If you place the snaps before you fix the envelope with glue, it is much easier

Could you put a sheet of printer paper in between the envelopes so it won’t be so nerve wracking hoping they don’t shift in the laminator? Would that work?

Hi I was going to say yesterday maybe use a sheet of copier paper and have envelopes both sided of it.

save the left over sheet to make stencils with dies

I found the tool and snaps at hobby lobby and was able to use a 40% coupon off on the tool.

Lol well done you x

Wouldn't it be easier to laminate the squares first?

I’m sorry but, she said that she was going use the 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 measurement. She was suppose to score on another measurement which stated on the board. The score line was not suppose to start at 2in, then 2 7/8. I saw this video and made the envelopes the way she said not the way she did it. My gift card is a bit bigger. Am I wrong? Or misunderstood what she explained? Please, someone explain to me what I could be doing wrong?

Why would one be timid to use paper...it's paper, it has the same value (in my eyes) whether the paper pad no longer in stock or "new". Honestly, with all the designs that have been out for every brand the designs all get recycled anyways. Plaids, florals, shapes, etc...they all start repeating and looking very similar. This is why buy non branded paper pads so I am never afraid to cut into it cause it isn't overpriced paper.

Use 2 sheets of copier paper inbetween them. Also, if you don’t want the thick shine, try some matt laminating pouches, they really do leave a great finish, you can’t even tell they are laminated.
