WT34 - Join in the Ways to Use It Challenge - Everyone welcome!
This week's challenge is to use something I love but always forget to use! This week your challenge is to use ACETATE or transparency sheets in your work. I love the professional look of acetate. It give a nice polished look when layered on a card. If you wish to stamp on acetate, you will need Stazon ink so that it won't rub off. If you are stuck for ideas....how about stamped acetate in a glass ornament for the holidays, acetate in a window, acetate in a shaker card, smackin' acetate, pearl ex and acetate... the list goes on! Let's see what we can come up with. As always, please help us out and share any tips or techniques or technique sheets that you might have. It is always great to learn something new.
Please remember to put WT34 in your keywords section as you upload and post a link back here. If you can't upload at this time, feel free to post an attachment right to this thread. There is no time limit so feel free to post as often and for as long as you like. Have fun.
Happy stamping,

Great challenge Julia! I haven't done much with acetate except shakers and the ornaments. I think I'll try something new.

Hmmmm!
I will have to find my acetate and use it - MAYBE with my new WHITE stazon. Did anyone else get the white Stazon???? Feels like craft ink to me!
Back to play later!

I have embossed on it before...But I had to be very careful with it and move the heat gun around alot...It is rather tricky.HTH
I am sure there will be other suggestions as well.

I made this card a couple of years ago. It is made with acetate and glitter. However, I don't remember how I got different colors on. Anyone know how to do this technique? I'd love to make more but don't remember how.

I'm going to PM you two files I have on this subject, it is fun!
Julia, I use acetate with my stamp positioner and it works great and it does get used almost daily! I'm about ready to cut a new sheet, this one is pretty beat up already. |

if you are VERY careful. it might wrap a little but if you attach it with brads it flattens out nicely. there is a kind of acetate that doesn't warp at all but the name of it is eluding me at the moment. __________________

You can use transparancies that are meant to go through a printer and are heat resistant. It will indicate that on the package. __________________ Jami

Hello,
Is ACETATE the same as transparency sheets?
I can not find it in my dictionary.

Was it done with the Glitter Puzzle technique? I've never done it. Here are a couple of threads I found about it

here's my first one and it was a challenge! this card didn't scan too well (at all) and this stamp is very hard to use. i think this stamp company made this one a tad too detailed.

WT34 - Acetate Poinsettia
I stamped the poinsettia onto the acetate with Black Stazon; then I used a paint brush to brush on the PearlEx; then when finished, I covered it with microbeads. I thought the end result was pretty cool! So, here's mine:

You can get transparencies at a office supply store or if you have some plastic report covers, you could probably use those in a pinch.

My entry
Here is my Amazing Acetate WT34 entry....
I used a 1/4 sheet acetate for the cardfront overlap....Attached with the ribbons....
Used the new opaque (white) stazon. Feels like craft...stays on like stazon...

Here's attempt #2 with Acetate & Tissue. Colors are better in person on this one the scanner kinda washed it out.

Here is my creation, combined with the TLC challenge...
I don't know what you call the technique but I painted on the acetate with crystal effects and reinkers.

You can get FREE acetate from packaging. You don't need a huge piece, so if it's flat, clear & somewhat stiff, it should work. Check toy packaging like Barbies, etc. & even the Fiskars cutters have some that will work.
In a pinch, you could use clear polyshrink -- just don't try to emboss on it! |

If you use the transparencies that go through inkjet printers, you can stamp on the rough side with any ink!!! __________________ Cyrena

This is a fun challenge. I had fun experimenting with heat embossing on acetate. It worked but I had my doubts. I was expecting the big "wave" to happen. Thanks Julia for coming up with such wonderful challenges.
Here's mine (pending approval 7:45 EST)

Hey thanks for the packaging idea! I will have to see if I can get to it later or tomorrow! I have some clear bags that I store cards in that I am going to sell just to protect them so they look nice for selling. Do you think they will work?? :rolleyes: |

Here's mine. I never tried to stamp on the acetate for a shaker card before. I like the depth it gave, but I'm not sure I like the card. The shaker part came out alright though, so I'm happy.

You can use plastic packaging for this technique. Try using the sleeves from some of the AOL discs or something like that. If it is see-through plastic, you can stamp it with stazon and use it.
