Acetate for stencils

I saw on youtube how you can use a laminator pouch sheet.Run it through the laminator machine. Hey presto, you have acetate which you can use with cameo using one pass. So pleased.:lol: As before i was using 220 micron acetate and had to use 3-4 passes to cut out my stencil.

Thanks for the tip Ruth

Thank you from me too

Thank you for sharing this. Have you tried it Ruth and were you pleased with the results?

I've tried this and it does work but when I wanted to make stencils I preferred to use plastic page divider's, you do need to trim the sides but I got two out of one divider.

That's very useful to know Doreen - thank you very much

I use transparency film aka acetate film, comes in a box usually (letter size 8-1/2 x 11 inches)- the kind teachers use on an overhead projector. It is a lot less expensive than laminator pouches.
I use Blade # 6
Speed 8
Thickness 30
and pick the double cut option.

This type acetate makes nice boxes and for score lines needed to make a box I use the __ __ __ __ line feature on the Cameo/Craft Robo/ Slhouette.

Happy paper cutting

Love the tips here I have a lot of plastic page dividers. Just a thought if I was to cut two identical designs and then stick them together, wondered if you could then put through a die cutting machine and use it to emboss the design onto the card.

Worth a try Eileen especially if you use an embossing mat
