I can has a #Laminator! After reading the reviews on the website, where practically every laminator that had a review got trashed (some were praised, but they ALL were trashed by somebody), I decided to go with a more expensive one in the hopes that it breaking as soon as the warranty expired would be less likely. I shall also try to be aware that laminators are temperamental, and find out some laminator-care tips.

Why did I get a laminator? Because I want to get into #HotFoil application. Sucked in by YouTube videos showing how pretty it is. AND, if I get toner-reactive foil, I can use my already-existing (ancient but still robust Hewelett-Packard) laser printer to print *whatever designs I want*! And I have a LARGE library of SVG files to choose from. Much more versatile than relying on stamps or dies. Woo-hoo!

If you have any laminator-care tips, please share them with me.

Loving how my hot pen foil bookmark came out! It's a kraft paper that I laminated in matte foil, and then drew on with the pen. I didn't think it would stick, but it did!

I bought a full set of pen and three foils (gold, rose gold, silver) second-hand, and I'm really glad I did!
