For the clear part page protectors work really well and are cheap at the dollar store. This is a great idea for ephemera that is pretty on both sides that I don’t want to glue down. I’m late to the party but thanks! ❤
Thanks for such a informative video. I have really enjoyed this as always. I often watch on my tv but cant comment but im on my 📞.ty hunnie nicely done Yeassssss!!!!
I think it would be fun to make these with fabric swatches from a wedding or home decor project, maybe paint chips from a renovation. Those bits of things we like to keep!
Great ideas! Here in the UK I have bought small self-adhesive laminating pockets (for making ID badges) no machine needed, and perfect for specimen cards like these!
Thank you so much Sharna, I really really enjoyed watching you create these amazing and inspiring specimen cards.this is so inspirational and given me lots of ideas too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤ I love ❤❤❤ all your ideas too.
Greetings from Germany! You have amazing ideas for these specimen windows! I am feeling very inspired. I am so anxious to make some of these! Thank you for sharing! 😍
Thank you for sharing this video. I love how you show how easy it is to make specimen cards and many different ways you can make them with whatever we have on hand.😍😮👍👌
This is a GREAT video! Jam-packed with super ideas. I love them ALL!! Definitely gonna watch again and try some of your ideas. Thank you for another great video!! So appreciated. Austin,TX USA
I made actual specimen cards. Went imto my garden, picked a few tiny flowers, dried them then put between acetate stuck to cards with 2 faced tape and glue.
Hi Shana: Love how you crafted all of them! You got me running to my craft room. So creative. Thank you for all your ideas. Always enjoy watching your videos. 💜😎🇺🇸
Question: with the first specimen window u made (the flimsy bubbly one). Would passing an iron over it help "melt it" shut and give it strength/substance? Protect ur iron, of course. I ask bc we get so much in everyday packaging.
Dear Shanouki Tks a bunch. This is the first time I heard of Specimen cards. Also I learnt to use bk pages to create a border around the piece of acetate. I hv a question. Do specimen cards only use acetate as the base
thank you, thank you, thank you for so many great ideas! ❤️ Why did I always make things so complicated for myself with the frames? 🤷♀️ Best wishes Tammi 🖐😘
Now I am kicking myself! Why does it always happen that when I 'declutter', I suddenly find a use for something I tossed? I had saved clear packaging that would have been great for windows. All of it was heavy plastic and I had saved it for shrink-art projects (that I never got around to ;) ). Now I need to buy something for the clear plastic! LOL!

I like the full napkin image works well, but I like how you showed it cut back too.
Oh my god, what a clever idea to glue the paper around the window! I am way to lazy to cut out the windows but this looks so simple. Thank you ❤❤❤

Yes, that would look awesome x

I actually like the end napkin card, it's really cute and works well with the text border.
So many fun ideas here. Thank you for sharing the great tips.

Good Morning Shana, thank you for showing these specimen cards to us. It helped me alot.

The backs of my transparent stickers are probably good pieces of scrap to use as your window piece. Some are not scored cutting sticker out!
❤
Great ideas.

You can also stamp with pigment ink on the inner side of a laminating sheet and then laminate it. Looks lovely in white ink for a Christmas theme.
Yes great idea 🥰
Thanks for all these wonderful ideas; so inspiring! ♥️
❤️
so many wonderful ideas, my brain is buzzing ;-)
❤️ 🐝
Many thanks.
🥰
Wow very creative 👏🏼 thank you for sharing! Other than decoupage what other glue works best with acetate or with laminate?
Craft glue, anything that dries clear ☺️❤️
Thank you, Shana, for all the great ideas! 🌻
❤️
I actually love the decoupaged floral on acatate! Great ideas here!! Thank you, Shana!! 😊💖
❤️
Hiya, I love these.. But what glue do you use so that it's invisible through the laminate? 😊
Glue stick 🤗
this is a new thing for me, so thank you for showing us what they are 💗
❤️
❤❤❤ cool
Totally 🤩 awesome

Love all these ideas Shana, thanks so much for the heads up ❤️❤️❤️

Great idea, I have never tried that, but definitely worth a try ❤
Dear Shanouki
Tks a bunch. This is the first time I heard of Specimen cards. Also I learnt to use bk pages to create a border around the piece of acetate. I hv a question. Do specimen cards only use acetate as the base
Nope, you can use anything that is transparent or semi-transparent: plastic, cellophane, vellum ❤
I forgot about acetate & decoupage , thanks.
❤️
These are so cool 🥰🥰🥰

예뻐유~~~^^♡♡♡♡♡
