This morning I felt the urge to dig out my old neglected friend, polyshrink. Ages ago I came up with a template to make my own slide mounts from polyshrink. The words in this stamp set are the perfect accent to my homemade frame. This particular sentiment makes a great baby card! I created the slide with clear polyshrink, so I was able to adhere patterned paper to the back. I had forgotten how many possibilities there are with this stuff! For your enjoyment, I have created a pdf file (below) for you to download and make your own slide mounts! Have fun!

My polyshrink is buried somewhere in my studio, too. But, this makes me want to hurry and find it to try some cool ideas. Love this little frame!
i love this!
I love this card! That baby and frame are too cute!
what is polyshrink?
the frame is ADORABLE.
So adorable…
Polyshrink is one of those mediums I just love, but again you used it in a different way as a slide mount and backed it with paper – genius!
GREAT IDEA! i forget that polyshrink can become almost any embellishment you want. I hope i can remember to adapt this!
What an adorable photo. That sentiment is so perfect.
love how you included a photo! this is adorable!
So pretty – beautiful color combo!
super cute! Thanks for the idea. I’ve never played with this stuff before and can’t wait to try it!
So cute, can’t wait to make my own and I love the pink flowers on the background!
Cute, Cute, TOO CUTE! Thanks for the pdf.

Amazing job with the shrink plastic!

oh my I have GOT to try this. What a great idea. I too forget about shrink plastic. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
I love the way this card turned out! I guess I *need* some shrink plastic too!
Thanks for sharing the Slide Mount template!!! I’ve been wanting to try using Shrink Plastic for sometime now–and this is the perfect embellishment for me!!! I really like how you used Clear so that you could back it with DP!!! KJ
Adorable and will have to download your template! TFS!

Well this comment is a bit late but thanks for the neat template. I just love all your perky simple designs!

Love your designs. You spark my imagination. So simple but yet beautiful. Need to remember less means more.

I have never tried Polyshrink. It looks like I might have to give it a try now.
Wow! Thank you for the template … that’s really cool {and you are saving me hours of frustration in trying to make my own!!}
Wow!I never thought to do that! Thanks for sharing
I have never used polyshrink, just another item that now is on my “must have” list!
Thanks for the Polyshrink slider pdf (template). I was on a polyshrink kick not too long ago. I will have to pull it out again and be creative. Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re a lifesaver! I’m doing a swap and desperately needed this template!
Love the idea of using shrink plastic!!!
Love all the samples! Dumb question, how do you register for the prize? I thought I was feeling lucky but couldn’t exactly see a place for the contest. I did sign up for updates. Looking forward to many happy times looking at all the projects – that in itself is a pretty good prize.
This is beautiful. Even though its pink, it still looks neutral – could be used for a boy or a girl.
I’m wondering if the pink flowers are patterned paper, or a stamp? Love the slide mounts!
Susan
Oh my goodness!!! Brilliant! My own custom made polyshrink slide mounts! Thank you thank you thank you for this idea! Did you stamp the sentiment on the polyshrink before shrinking it? Or is it stamped on the paper?
Thanks for this idea and the template!
Love it. Is polyshrink the same thing as Shrinkydinks? Is it only available online or can you get it at a Hobby Lobby or Michaels?
This is adorable. May I ask how do you attach the background paper to the frame without it showing through? Thank you for all of the great ideas.
