Hello roomies!
I have just found an interesting product on the net-inkjet shrink plastic!
I was wandering if anyone has tried it and if so what the results were?
Thanks
Saffa

I actually got a piece of this free from Avery, but I haven't used it yet - it's on my mental list!

I got a really fab card in one of the card swaps from Nick, purplepenguin. It was a cute Shrink Plastic House that looked like it had been done with a stamp. When I asked how it was done it turned out it was a Picture font with Inkjet Shrink Plastic. It's a really lovely effect and when Ive used some of my stuff I have, I may just have to have a play with it!

Yep, it's great stuff, I've used it to print some of our photographs on to make cards with. You have to be very careful about the colours though - keep them really pale because they intesify quite dramatically once they are shrunk.
It's a good idea to fade the colours down - much more than you'd think you'd need to before you try a print.

Thanks for the tip, Kathy - I'll remember that when I eventually get around to using it. (not quite sure where it is!)
Love Hazel

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the shrink plastic from?

That is a good point, you reminded me that I might have a free sample from Avery, I will have to dig around and find it if I haven't used it already. I think I may have though!

Found it - printed on it - cut it out - melted it - ruined it because I couldn't work out that there was a backing sheet on it, despite trying to see if it peeled off!
Worked it out after I had tried to shrink unsucessfully so it is ruined now!
