Oh my goodness, crafters, I have NEWS! The plastic in the window of a business envelope is shrink plastic!
Check it out - I've stamped a nice outline flower, and shrunk, once without colouring, and once with pencil colouring. There was a third one that looked awful - not all the plastics are the same.A tip - leave the plastic on the envelope while you stamp and colour, and cut it just before shrinking.
There you are - go to it!

Fantastic Pauline. Now couldn't a politician or two learn about sustainability from your discoveries :)
Michelle, we don't know where Pauline's ideas come from and we don't ask (too scared) lol!
Great idea Pauline!! I will definitely have to try it out! Thanks for sharing!!
Okay Pauline....you must have way too much time on your hands to make these kind of discoveries!! :-P
Pretty awesome all the same - thanks for sharing :-)
Hi Pauline fab idea, quick question, is there a right and wrong side to stamp on or doesn't it matter?
Good question Rosemary. I think they are the same. But I did find differences between papers, so that may vary.
Awesome Pauline! Great discovery!
