I put the card with the foil over between either a folded piece of copy paper or the plastic folder which came with my Minc machine. I have seen videos of the card and foil being pout through the laminator uncovered but having got into a pickle trying to laminate some embossing powder between a cut down embossing pouch, I haven't tried the uncovered method!This was a new technique for me but I was pleased with the result.Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155624052405745793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878880422308281255.post-19533008076090646492019-10-16T01:37:07.758+01:002019-10-16T01:37:07.758+01:00This has worked beautifully using that fabulous bu...This has worked beautifully using that fabulous butterfly Chrissie and a great sentiment too. I hope you don't mind me asking but I am assuming that the clear embossing works as a glue to hold the foil when you run it through the laminator, and do you put something over the top of the foil and card when you run it through to stop it from slipping and sticking to the laminator rollers. If you don't mind giving me more information I would be most grateful for your help as this does sound like a method that would work for me too. xPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889103826921393113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878880422308281255.post-89205798561159804522019-10-13T00:53:15.052+01:002019-10-13T00:53:15.052+01:00It looks like you found success, Chrissie!
