Default where do you find acetate?

I have looked for acetate paper at michaels and they dont know what it is. I have gone to paper stores and they dont sell it there. I'm some what new to the stamping world.

You can usually find it at an office supply store (office max office depot or staples) I got mine at office max at the copy center the sell them in single sheets for i think 40 cents? Its also called transpericy(i spelled it wrong) paper/over head projecter sheets. You can but it in a box too.

you can also buy it from Stampin'Up! It is in the catalog on page 204 and it is called window sheet sheets. I would call the office supply places before going there to purchase because I have never seen if for .40 a sheet. What a deal if they do. It is usually about $1.00 a sheet and that is what SU sells it for.

I purchased mine from Staples... 100 per box for $66 ... these can be heat embossed... with care. I have an InkJet Printer, and they seem to cost somewhat more than for a Laser Printer. They do have a rough side which helps when stamping on them, as well as a strip on the end for ease in feeding into the printer.

I also purchased some less expensive ones that cannot be heat embossed ... 100 for $22 ... at a local stationery store ... sold for 25 cents by the single sheet. These are slick on both sides, and sometimes the stamp will slip on them; but they are terrific for windows... and when using spray adhesives.

Wal Mart also carries them... but I'm not sure of the cost.

Hoping this helps.

Have a FUNtastic day.

At an office supply store, the non-laser printer overhead acetate is cheaper than the kind designed to go through your computer's printer. I want to say aobut 15 bucks for a box of the store brand.


Just looked it up: http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/st...&cmArea=SEARCH

20 bucks. But I am sure I saw it around 15 somewhere.

Try www.quill.com

The kind that you can run thru a laser printer and heat emboss are here:
http://www06.quillcorp.com/Catalog/B..._NUMBER=720332
and are $16.99 for a box of 100

If you don't need them to be heat resistant, you can use these:
http://www06.quillcorp.com/Catalog/B..._NUMBER=720330
they're only $11.99 for a box of 100

Quill has free shipping on any order over $45 and I order most of my office supplies at work thru them - their prices are usually pretty good, delivery is fast and their customer service rocks!

I cheated so badly....

I used those cheap report covers that my brother had for college but never used. Ahem. ;) They worked good for me.
