You are a LIFESAVER. I've been playing around with settings for hours because my laminated cardstock was not being cut well enough so I still had to do some of my own cutting. Thank you! Did the same settings you did, 2x @350 and they came right off the sheet!
That was great thank you! I just used my cricut today for the first time because I didn’t know I could do that! It saved list of time than using the diecut machine at school..!!!!!! You are awesome!
Thanks for showing this! I got my Cricut earlier this summer but haven't really used it much. I knew I wanted to make things for my classroom but I didn't know how. Now I do!
Thank you so much. i was struggling with the laminating card stock cut, and I wasted a lot of card, trying out different settings, but now I am going to try your method thank you so much for your video ,merica your on point.
Thank you so much! It's so odd that cricut doesn't include a setting for laminated paper and laminated cardstock as it's a very common material. Regardless of their mistake, your settings worked perfectly. They brought a pleasant end to a day of frustrating failures. You should sign up for teachers pay teachers and offer the settings! Unfortunately, we broke 2 blades and wasted a bunch of paper before finding your video. Since cricut doesn't include the settings, they should include a link to your channel with the machines.
hi. the glitter iron-on is there because you saved it as a favorite. if you go thru the whole list of things to cut from you can click on it there and the star will no longer be gold, then when you go into this step it won't be there. your favorites are for mediums that you use often so you don't have to go thru the whole list :)
I love this video. I just got a cricut and plan on using it in my classroom. My only question is wouldn’t it make more sense to cut the card stock first and then laminate it? If you cut the laminated paper doesn’t that release the seal and let the edges come up? I’m just curious when I seen laminate first and then cut about it.
i thought this but my sister said to cut after laminating. that makes it easier bc if you cut the letters then laminate, you still have to handcut them after and they wont look great
Hey! My only concern/question is does the laminate peel up on the edges? since the "sealed" edge of the laminate isn't holding onto the letters. Obviously, this would save so much time over laminating individual letters so I'd love to know how they held up!
you have to laminate the 3ml at a 5ml heat setting, it will melt the laminate in the paper and the edges will not peel. The paper will be completely fused. I learned this from a RU-vidr who makes his own playing cards- I can't remember his name but you can look it up. It really works I've been doing it for several years now ..no peeling. hope this helps
I think that the cricut I utilize for bulletin board accessories is a little older than yours lol. It does not hook up to a computer. Your outcome looks great 😊
Hi, I'm trying to cut letters out laminated. But the laminat is peeling off. I don’t know what I'm doing wrong. First time using it. Trying to get ready for after-school day care. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for doing the video.
It looks like she has the Cricut Maker, which is the more expensive model. I tried it on my Explore Air 2 (which is about $100 cheaper) and it worked just fine once you set the dial to "custom".
Hi! Do you mean a border on the paper so its sealed onto the mat? If so, the blue light grip mat helps so you does not rip the paper when you take it off. I always watch my cricut as it is cutting to make sure that no edges are coming up. If you find removable tape that doesn't ruin the paper, that would be good! I haven't had an issue with it so far! I hope I answered your question.
@@lenamitzel They mean when you laminate it needs a small edge around around the paper of lamination. This one would be fine for things on the wall but they wouldn't be good for kids handling it a lot or something that you need to be waterproof
You definitely should have a lamination border to seal them if the letters are going to be used and abused. But since these are going to be up on a bulletin board, no one will ever touch them so the border to seal the lamination isn't necessary. If I wanted to make these letters, for say a center where students will be handling them, then I would do a different method of cutting out the lamination.
