Thank you so much Margaret. What a wonderful comment you have left me. I really do appreciate it 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia: Thank You . Yes my heart speaks whats my eyes sees!
These are absolutely gorgeous! I didn’t even know you could get matte laminating pouches 😊 I like both styles and I really like the tea bag idea and don’t mind the border💖
I also liked the border the tea bags left.
Thanks Martha, I must admit it’s grown on me 💕
Thank you for teaching us all the tips you have there very beautiful Now I know what to do with my dried flowers I made last year I really don’t want to waste them so I’m glad I found you have a blessed day stay safe until then
Thanks so much June, I’m glad this has given you some ideas. Happy Creating ❤️
Absolutely great idea with the laminating. On my walks with Polo, I have collected some beautifully coloured leaves Watch out laminator, here I come. Thank you Nina xx
It really is a great, quick and easy way to preserve them. Enjoy 💕 xx
I’m so pleased to know that there are matte finished laminating sheets!!! I really like how your dried and laminated flowers turned out. Thanks, Nina.
Thanks Cheryl. The matte pouches make a big difference to the look 💕
Thank you again, Nina! Years ago I tried this very same thing, only w the shiny clear laminate. I had an awful time w my flowers jamming, buckling, puckering. I thought it was just because the flowers were too dimensional. I did, however have a few turn out well.
It never occurred to me to use a thicker laminate, since I believed thickness to be the problem.
How ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! I MUCH prefer the matte finish as well! Since watching you I’ve learned so much... many ideas have stemmed from what I once started and you have perfected. So happily, I have all the bits and pieces necessary to continue.
I love these ideas and plan to try this myself! It’s almost Christmas in Utah and I think my family and friends will love something like this. You could do book marks also. Thank-you
How i wish I could send you my roses to laminate and do this craft. I know I am going to ruin this process, but I will try it. My roses were a last memory of my grandmother, who just passed, this past week.
You did an amazing job, thanks for sharing this video.
These are beautiful, I am definitely gg to have a go, tfs so muchclever lady
Thanks Ruth, glad you like the . Happy Creating 💕
Wowwww absolutely gorgeous ♥️♥️ watching this vdo from Thailand 😀
Hello to you in Thailand. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia You're welcome. ♥️ I used to live in Lewisham, South London.
Love these tags
Thank you so much 💕🌸
I love these Nina! Now I want a laminator lol. I love the matt ones too. The snowdrops would make such pretty book marks. Great video thank you x
Thanks so much, I’m very happy with these. So, so pretty 💕
I also did not know you could get matte laminating pouches. I love the idea of gromets. I enjoyed your video very much!! I have thousands of flowers from putting them in stained glass, alas I can't bend and solder anymore..so this will be exceedingly FUN. Postage has risen AGAIN and is very expensive, I'll have more cards than I can ever send thought.
They are beautiful, I do like the matt one better but they are all lovely!
Thanks so much Irene. I’m looking forward to spring for all the new blooms 💕
For easy corners for the window card, use your crocodile hole punch at each inside corner, then I cut up to each hole. It's also a good way to cut slots too.😀 The tall pieces would make great book marks. Thanks 4 shareing
Love these, definitely matt finish
Thanks Evelyn, glad you like them 💕
Love these so much. Now I’m going to buy a laminator.
Thanks Julie. I hope you’ll enjoy creating with it 💕
The snowdrop ones are beautiful 😍
Thanks Debbie, so glad I picked them in time ❤️
They would make great bookmarks! You could put them in a card as a gift. : )
Thanks Susan, I agree, they would 💕
Stunning. I need to buy matte laminating sheets 😁
Beautiful!
Thank you 💕
Agreed that the clear lamination is not nearly as elegant as the other. Beautiful! TFS the inspiration, Nina!
Thanks so much Gail 💕
Fabulous!!! I LOVE this and really appreciate your sharing with us! Janet 🌺👍💖
I like those dried flowers very much.
Thanks Yolanda, they’re pretty aren’t they 💕
Love this idea, and the beautiful results! You might try to put a tissue paper around the edge while sewing, so the feeddogs do not touch the laminate. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Oooh , that’s a great tip. Thank you ❤️
These are beautiful
Thank you 💕🌸🌺🌸
thank you this is what I needed for my dried flowers.
Ooh I love the tea bag ones the most x
Thanks Sue, glad to say the teabag ones have grown on me 💕 x
I love the idea of storing and preserving it, looks awesome
Thanks you! So glad you like it 🌸
Beautiful results
Thanks Starla. I’m pleased with them 💕

These are beautiful! I see a laminator in my future! 🥰
Glad you like them Grace and thanks for watching 💕
Absolutely Gorgeous! The Snow Drops really spoke to me..Thank you and Have a Beautiful Blessed Day!
I love a mat finish so I was happy to see you do the napkin on top besides the gloss.
Thank you
Cricket
Thank you so much Cricket 🌸
What a great idea to laminate those pressed flowers!
Thanks Zsuzsa. I’ve tried many different methods, and I love them all, but this is by far the quickest and easiest 💕
I admire people with awesome crafting tools but more importantly the imagination to turn ordinary items into art. Well done! Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️
Just lovely and I think they make beautiful gifts for friends and book groups or anyone who enjoys reading.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks so much Jo-Ann. Glad you enjoyed it 💕
Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous tags, and the flowers are stunning too. I really must agree the Matt pouches are far better to use, and look much more professional. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags.
Thanks so much Mags. It’s a much nicer finish for these gorgeous flowers isn’t it. Have a wonderful week ❤️ xxxxx
Beautiful flowers. I think you could use the longer tags as a bookmark. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Laura, I think they’d make fabulous bookmarks 💕
Love the look of the matt pouches Nina .. such a great way to keep and preserve pressed flowers . The tags are outstanding . Love the Snow drops . Thank you as always for sharing . xx
Thanks so much Kay. I’m very happy with these 💕
A beautiful way of preserving pressed flowers for the months that follow spring and summer.
Love these. 😊
Thank you. It’s so easy and effective 💕
I really thought I could get along without a laminator, and then I watched this video... so, as Mother's Day is in May, I need to start dropping hints to my children starting now... thanks, Nina, for sharing this beautiful idea...
Haha, there is always one more tool we need to in our arsenal isn’t there. At least the rest of the family might find this of benefit from time to time too ❤️
Stunning! What a fabulous idea. Thank you for sharing. Love the matte finish.
What a great way to preserve flowers. These turned out lovely.
Thanks Diane, I love how they turned out 💕
Very beautiful creations. Lovely ideas. Thank you
oh, i love dried flowers! great ideas, Nina!
They are so pretty and versatile aren’t they ❤️
Beautiful Nina!! You have such beautiful dried blowers!!!
Thank you Julie, I love collecting them throughout the year 💕
Très réussies ces étiquettes cartonnées avec le plastique mat.
Oh,l LOVE them...........l have to go now and treat myself to a laminater 😆😆😆 deffo prefer the matt 👌.......thankyou so much again xxxx
Thanks so much Isobel. They are fairly inexpensive and very useful to have in your stash 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia yeeeeaaaa.....😘😁
These are indeed gorgeous. Thank you.
Thank you so much Sibylle 💕
It was really a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Thanks so much Anna, glad you enjoyed it 💕
These are stunning.
Thank you so much 💕
So pretty! Love the snow drops, especially! Well done.💕
Thank you so much 💕
The snowdrops are very pretty, love that the colours show up so well in others. I like the matte too altho I didn't think I would. They certainly are a memory keeper, bookmarks are a good idea too. Have a great day.
Thanks Christie, I love the snowdrops too ❤️
amazing tutorial actually works ! i did this with some flowers that even though i dried them they were still a litttle thick and the plastic didnt stick in some spots. So i recommend using really thin flowers. But overall awesome
Thank you 🌼
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Hi Nina! I definitely like the matte finish and I actually love the tea bag ones. I think a great idea would be to put one of those beautiful snow drops in an envelope and mail it to me...😆😁😉
I just love all the wonderful ideas you an Kylie come up with. You two never disappoint! ❤♥️❤
I almost purchased a laminator this month but decided instead to go with the creative studio box for 3 months instead... 🙃 choices are so hard.
Hi Laura. Thanks so much as always for your lovely comment. The snowdrops are beautiful aren’t they. I think the teabag ones will look lovely in a window tag, so I will play around with those this week. I agree, too many supplies to choose from 😫❤️ xxx
Hi Nina,hope you are well 🙂. Another great idea for using dried flowers.Thank you 👋
Hi Wilma, al, is well here thank you.glad you enjoyed the video and I hope all is well with you too ❤️
Such a wonderful set of ideas
Thanks so much Noreen 💕
Beautiful idea Nina ! Thank you . Kind regards- Judi - Australia
Thanks so much Judith 💕
These are gorgeous and yes I agree like the matt laminate better xx.
Thanks Mel, they look so pretty don’t they 💕
I like the matte finish better too. I have already got some of those Matt finish ones that I bought to do my serviettes with I just haven’t got any dried flowers I will have to look at your video on how to do some there are plenty of daisies in my grass. I would use those long ones with snowdrops in as bookmarks for those of us who still read real books. Love the whole project thanks Nina
Daisies look wonderful when pressed as they are so delicate. It takes minutes to dry them with an iron and you can also dry flowers in the microwave, but you have to be careful not to burn them. Glad you enjoyed this project ❤️
I love both and also prefer the opaque ones too.🌷 thank you so much for sharing your ideas.
Thank you so much Yosh, glad you like them 💕
Good Morning Nina,
It's a rainy Virginia day and it's our 4th Saturday in a row of rain. I worked longer hours at my job this past week and I am super tired. I haven't even perked my pot of coffee in the stove yet. Unpacking a box this past week I found a beautiful bookmark made from my aunt in 2013 using flowers from her yard in the town I grew up in. I haven't my own yard anymore to pick flowers from. But my Dad has beautiful flowers in his yard. My aunt used some kind of hazy as I call it packing tape or wax paper and every time I wrote her a letter or asked her on the phone how did she make it she said she would get back to me. I think she didn't want me to know her secret. I am currently renting an apartment that is registered with the historic society and nails are not allowed to be used only command strips and I want to hang some little pieces of art work up and I love nature. I have actually found a nice curvy stick on a walk recently I saved to suspend it from my curtain rod using fishing line and I have collected little acorns and small pine cones, the tan pods my Dad called as helicopters when he was a little boy in England and I am going to hang those from the stick. But, all week I have been wanting to make cards to hang using my aunt's method. I googled for UA-cam videos and so many I watched today took me no where. I sat here thinking which crafter do I follow that might know that I can direct message to on Instagram. All of a sudden I thought of you as number 1 and I do not have to go any further. 🥰 I googled Nina Rabina transparent floral pressing sheets and I found this video. I loved the video and I got so excited as I just purchased in Dec as a gift to myself a die cut hand crank machine for my stationary making. Nina, think of this idea!
What if you have a thinner type of laminate but not the clear as you say it's not as great but, laminate the flowers, put a die cutting disk over it, crank it threw. Imagine how cool it may look to attach to stationary or using your crockadile and brads and making mini ornaments for your windows or for a Christmas tree. I am so excited I found your video. It's exactly what I was looking for. Also when you were talking about your laminate sheets I was wondering if the clear contact paper would work on flowers and put another sheet over the flowers and die cut those out. Have you used contact paper much? I have never used it but I know you can buy it in a roll or as 8X11 sheets for lining drawers. The book that came with the purchase of my die cut machine came separate and the private seller of the machine out the book in a glossy mailing envelope with lemons on it. I have saved it as I wondered if I could decoupage with the lemons and the flowers cut out very intricately. I do not throw lots away I put the envelope in a drawer. But, I am thinking about framing the one side of the envelope to hang in the summer for a pop of color in my kitchen. I think the Dollar Tree has light weight white frames and with the navy background and the bright yellow lemons and the white and pink flowers that would look so pretty.
Sorry for once again sending a novel and I am trying to catch the typos. My cell phone is very old and the keys are starting to go bad. You have made this flower video I believe 4 years ago I wonder if you still recv notifications on the comments.
I hope you have been feeling well after your illness. My Dad hasn't been well but I still see him often and my new flat is within walking distance to his house and I live in a precious little town with neat little shops and one shop has a very nice art supply area and just recently they started selling small scraps of fabric that one of the family members brings in from her sewing projects. I have made nice pot holders with some of the scraps. An elderly man on the lower level knows I sew and asked me one day what am I working on now so I said pot holders for a craft sale. He said he needs pot holders really bad so I dig thru my stash and found a piece with soccer balls on it and international flags. His countries flag is on the fabric so that was a nice surprise for him.
Have a great afternoon as I believe your 5 hours ahead.
Love always,
Rebekah
Lovely
Thank you 🌸
Matt ones are definately my favourite
Thanks so much Alison, glad you like them 💕
Thank you for a very concise and informative video. It has been very helpful in encouraging my embracing this art form.
Glad this video was helpful Carol. Happy Creating 💕
Great video, clear description and good ideas. I rather like the thinner laminates sheets as well, they instantly reminded me of a sort of fused glass picture, thank you for posting.
Th is so much for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed the video 🌸
How lovely! I love that lovely frosted look. Thank you. (I live in Johannesburg in South Africa)
Thanks so much Linn, glad you like them 💕
what a great idea! I recently bought Microfleur for drying flowers in microwave and this is great way to make specimens etc. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Hana, have fun with your microfleur 💕
Stunning. Do you have a tutorial on how you dry your flowers. Thank you 🌻
Thanks so much Manuela. I prefer to dry my flowers the old fashioned way, either between stacks of heavy books or in a traditional flower press. I have however had great instant results drying with an iron: ua-cam.com/video/u9Ig0X7Sp3U/v-deo.html
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia thank you! Ironing well it has never crossed my mind to do that. But I'm going to give that a go.
Your dried flowers look so pristine hope I can do my dried flowers justice 😬 thank you for responding and sharing your beautiful crafts. Greetings from London 🇬🇧🙏🐈🌻
Ma'am, this video is such a gem; so informative and inspirational, and paced very well. Thank you for making it!
So glad you enjoyed it 💕
They are so beautiful and will look lovely in your journals!❤️
Thanks Lainey, I’m very pleased with these ❤️
Oh so pretty! Great idea 💡 I did this with sticker clear wrappers. Gonna have a go. Your snow drops look like book marks! Look amazing 🤩
Thank you so much. The snowdrops are my favourite ones 💕
These are just gorgeous!
Thank you so much 💕
You always have such wonderful ideas! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Dorothy, there are so many wonderful resources to play with and inspire me 💕
These are so pretty. I like the matte ones best, as well. Tfs!!
Thanks so much Kim 💕
I have an large amount of dried flowers and I never know what to do with them but I keep drying more. so I have come for help and you have delivered lol
That’s lovely to hear. I hope you will enjoy using them ❤️🌸🌸🌸
These are just beautiful!!!
Thanks Robynn 💕
Love them...I use my laminator ALL the time for other projects...will try this with dried flowers. As usual, u do not disappoint your viewers! TFS
Thanks so much Holley, it’s a great tool isn’t it 💕
Very nice project, Nina. Just lovely.
Thanks so much Karen, I’m very happy with these ❤️
Love these laminated pressed flowers. You seem to keep the colour well so I'll look at your other video to see how you did it. Thankyou for sharing your ideas
Its hit and miss. Some keep their colour better than others. Trial and error 💕
Love the matte and the use of tea bags. Wonderful idea. Had no idea a laminator is available for home use. Thanks Nina
They are very inexpensive here in the U.K. and a great tool to have around the home 💕
These are absolutely gorgeous! I’ve never thought to dry snowdrops! Love them!.I do like the thicker laminating sheets on these.I have the thinner stuff and didn’t like when I tried in the past.X
Thanks Lynda, the snowdrops are gorgeous are’t they. The thicker laminating pouches are so much better and my machines have no issues with sealing them 💕 x
These are beautiful Nina. Thank you for sharing them with us. I prefer the matte ones as they look more classy. Take care. X
Thanks so much Valerie 💕
Another amazing idea and job. Will definitely do this for some card making. Thank you
Thanks Laura, they’d make wonderful cards 💕
Благодарю Нина, оооочень классная идея, для моих поделочек. Вешать такие красивые бирочки🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for your kind comment 💕
Fabulous
Thanks so much Eve 💕
Wonderful project!
Thanks so much Kristin ❤️
Beautiful. You could use the snowdrops as bookmarks. 🌻
Thank you so much 💕
I have some golden poppies just waiting to be pressed. Then I will try using Scotch self-seal laminating pouches. Your work is beautiful as always Nina.
Thanks so much Rose, I will have to look up self laminating pouches as not heard of those. Happy Creating 💕
Thank you so much for this. I found it very useful. I love what you have done
Thank you so much and Happy Creating 🌸
Those are so beautiful!
Thank you. I’m very pleased with them 💕
