Oh wow, this is an amazing idea and works like a charm! I did step it up a little bit. I glued both of the sides that are not sticky together so I ended up with a sticky sheet that is sticky on both sides. So now I have a sticky and grip mat in one. If you have a glass mat you can use it for ink blending, working with stencils etc. The paper crab’s on to the sticky mat but stencils won’t go anywhere either. Thank you so much for this great idea!
I just ran across this video for the second time, and I have to tell you how much I adore you and your attitude! You don't let things just sit around and have one single purpose. You wrap your brain around it and find more uses for things. Your imagination is unending!! I love all your comments. This stuff rolls around in my head all the time!! I think we're made from the same mold! Please don't ever stop doing what you're doing. We need you out here!! You make my day!
That’s ABSOLUTELY AWESOME IDEA!! Fellow South Carolinian here! I’m over in Lexington! You come up with the BEST IDEAS!! BIG HUGS! God Bless & the Love of Christ to you & yours!!
This is a terrific idea, wish I'd seen it before I searched out the ones you buy. Every trip to the craft store has to be worth the gas, and then there's the clearance, and by the time I'm done that little item I came for is the least expensive thing I bought. I do love using a sticky sheet in my stamp platform. Thanks for the video.
I hear you girl ..same here😉😉😉my craft store is 1h15min away...I swear I’m like a dog going to the park as I pull up, if I had a tail I’d wag it clean off🐶 The pennies always have to stretch so there’s room in the cart for the good stuff. Almost all of my videos will have money saving ideas or techniques that will stretch your supplies further than the videos that are out there...did you know that you can mix alcohol inks into your embossing powders to make more custom colours? I have 2 videos demoing that 😉🤗🤗💕💕💕
It’s a great idea now that I know, if I can suggest for next time, to specify more in detail what you’re going to do (& like the other ladies said, give the purpose) so I know if it’s something I’m going to need/use. I was also confused until the end of the project. 🤪🤓😛
I’ve been using sticky sheets in my stamping tools for a long time, but I use the electronic cutting machine mats, cut to size, any brand will do, always buy them when they are on sale though! Best of all they have a grid printed on them which makes things easy to line up. Really great tip using an acrylic sheet with the paper trimmer, my pet hate is slipped cuts!
Beverley, I do that, too - I use the ones which aren't sticky enough anymore to allow for the pushin' & shovin' that goes on in my Cameo. But even if I wanted to use a new one - they are available for 2 Euros a piece from Ali E ...
@@bobbinsew There are many AE sellers out there for sticky cutting mats for a range of machines. As always, you need to compare offers. I have never been disappointed so far.
Can't wait to try this! I'd been thinking of purchasing a sticky mat. No more, now. I also bought a bunch of laminating sheets so I can make some for friends
Don't quote me on this, but I believe Jennifer McGuires husband was a co- creator of the Press n Seal. She said it in one of her videos. I thought that was cool. I love that stuff. I won't go back too cling wrap.
Greetings from South Africa. Thank you so much for this tip Sharon. Craft supplies in SA are very expensive so this is a perfect hack. In a recent post Jennifer McGuire uses a sticky mat when ink blending and spraying with water and mica sprays. This stops the card stock from warping.
you bet! Canada is a little harder and more expensive too, although not near what you would be experiencing. Stick with me here on this channel, all my videos are chock full of money saving tips and tricks..from making your own coloured embossing powders, to making glitter cardstock. Be brave with your supplies and you’ll find a small collection of crafty items can go for miles😉💕💕💕🤗 big hugs from Canada
I have been buying the offbrand cricut mats on Amazon for several years and cutting them down for ink blending and using in my Misti. This is a much better idea. Liked and Subscribed 🙂
I’m a little confused… so this is to make a sticky mat for our misti tools? I’m an older crafter, 72, so don’t always get directions the first time they’re explained. Will save it and watch again. Thanks
Just subscribed and shared with a crafty friend! This is genius and I can’t wait to try it. I’m looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Thanks for the great idea! Hugs from Ky
Great idea I use press and seal a lot to create words with my letter dies ...using a 2nd sheet of press and seal to apply the glue and then glue the words onto the card...so will try this with the laminating sheets...thank you for the great idea...
Is there a y.t. vid out there that demos what you’re referring to? I’ve G O T to lay out a saying that I need for a cancer patient’s card, and can’t find a way to get my computer to do the deed with an appropriate font!! MANY thanks for your input!
Terrific idea Sharon. I’m in the UK and do have some press ‘n’ seal although it’s not easy to get here and expensive. We have a UK you tuber called Ann Melvin who does lots of things with a laminator but I hadn’t thought of putting the two together yet. Guess what I’ll be doing after breakfast.
I really like these ideas! Been living without my craft stuff for many months waiting for our new house to be finished. I am planning on trying the press and seal on steroids soon.
I think I'm being really thick because I can't visualize how I would use this. It looks brilliant, I just don't know how it's brilliant. Would you do a demo video of all the ways you'd use it?
I’m a new subscriber here from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’ve started my own YT channel for scrapbooking and like you I like to think outside the box with my ideas. Thanks so much for this idea, I actually watched a video of yours the other day using press n seal so of course I wanted to buy some. And do you know I can’t buy it here in Australia but I went to Amazon and bought a bulk pack and wow this stuff is game changing. Thanks so much for the info and I’ll always credit you when I use it. Thanks again @createwithkarren
Sharon you have saved my life! Lol...just a bit of an exaggeration but it will help heaps. I had laminated one of my misti grid papers so I could wipe off stray ink easily and that worked well so then I thought about the press'n'seal. Only thing I came up with was to wrap it around and tape it down...it's not great but sort of does the job. This will fix it perfectly!! Quick question: was it you who showed a tip for how to use Zyron double sided tape refills without their machine? I saw it on RUclips a while back and cannot for the life of me remember who it was OR more importantly how to do it! I know it had me speechless so I'd love to find it again. Thanks soo much for your videos really appreciate them and you! Have a great day..love from down under ..Ali xxx
Allison I’ll do a short video showing that...keep meaning to do it ..yes it is me that does it...I don’t own the xyron machine ..just the rolls...I can’t reconcile how much waste the machine makes...good for them $$ bad for us and the planet☹️ I’ll get on to it🤗💕💕💕
Mine too! It's the only reason I am scrolling through the comments...to see if I am the only one who it is driving crazy! I noticed it in the last video I watched, as well. 🤣
I'm confused.. is this like a DIY sticky grid type thing? I saw the ideas in the description.. and lot of people use it for stamping.. but they do with the sticky grid as well
It’s a type of plastic wrap for food....it’s sprayed lightly with a food safe adheasive so it sticks gently to bowls and serving vessels keeping contents fresh but without leaving a residue. Jennifer McGuire uses it frequently in her videos. I think you might find the second idea better for you ...an inexpensive (clear) vinyl with light duty adheasive would be easily laminated to make a nice durable sticky craft mat😉 hope that helps🤗💕💕💕
I think they might be 3 mil...lost the package a while back...I’m sure anything would work tho. just use enough layers to get the thickness you want. 😉🤗🤗💕💕
did it get too warm or smushed??? if it got warm I would try leaving it in the sun to warm it again then try peeling it apart,,,you may now have sticky on both sides tho😬…
C’est simple utilize les produits avec le “stickey” et lamine le. Mon francais est horrible. Je suis 50ans et l’ecole pour moi c’ete plusiers des ans passé. Embrasse giante 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕
maybe I should have started the video with that instead of putting it at the end😉 now I know for next time ..good point🤗 ok ..it’s good for holding your projects during stamping, ink blending, many of the techniques that our beloved Jennifer McGuire shows us.... but especially so for holding all our die cuts or ephemera in place if we have arranged it on the front of a card and we need to keep it in that same arrangement to flip it over and glue it in place..hope that helps🤗🤗💕💕💕💕
Press & Seal is a plastic wrap that will stick to the edge of bowls or pans that don't have lids or regular plastic wrap won't adhere. It is especially useful for irregularly shaped containers. Crafters realized that it was useful for crafting.

This is brilliant! Thank you! No more buying sticky mats for me since I have tons of laminating pouches, transfer tape, and press and seal!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍
When doing the press n seal idea, I'd first laminate a grid sheet. Then apply the press n seal.
Simply LOVE this idea!
brilliant idea Sharon. I really like your voice over too I hope you use this method again.
Oh wow, this is an amazing idea and works like a charm! I did step it up a little bit. I glued both of the sides that are not sticky together so I ended up with a sticky sheet that is sticky on both sides. So now I have a sticky and grip mat in one. If you have a glass mat you can use it for ink blending, working with stencils etc. The paper crab’s on to the sticky mat but stencils won’t go anywhere either. Thank you so much for this great idea!
So you made two and glued them together? Or did you fold one? What was finished size? Sounds interesting but not sure I understand how.

Love it!

I don't have press and seal, but I do have Cricut transfer paper...can't wait to try it. :)
Yaaaaay you’re gonna love it….if you want to make it stiffer keep laminating layers until you like how stiff it is🎉🎉🎉🎉

Just found you and have subscribed. However, I have missed out on the cut perfect sheets again. Will there be more?
Is your laminater a cold one? I have a heated one an I have to use a folder to put the sheets in first.

What is transfer tape? And how to use?
Thank you so much for adding the list of « uses ». However, I guess my brain just can’t wrap itself around a couple you mentioned:
BRRRILLIANT!!
yaaaay🤗🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕
What an awesome idea!! I am new to your channel!!
Do u have or would you please make a companion video; showing the things/ways u use it?
Great idea I will see what I can do😃👍🤗🤗💕💕
In order to try this I'll need to buy a laminator which I've avoided so far. Suggested brands???
I would like to hear the “why” of what you’re doing right up front. What are you making?
Good point I’ll work on that😉
Great idea.. I didn’t realize you live at Myrtle Beach!!

I am waiting on my delivery as we speak...
Can anyone tell me how to “ unstick” a roll of peel and stick as I can’t unroll it?😊
