Default Stamping on transparencies

I want to try to do some overlays on cards and pages but can't find a product that won't smudge when stamped. Has anyone got any suggestions??

StazOn works great. I never have any problems with it on anything.

I've found Staz-on good - but you have to be very careful not to let the transparency / acetate move at all while you are stamping. It can be easier, if it's a small piece of acetate, to have the stamp on the table and put the acetate down to it. If it does smudge, Staz-on cleaner or similar will remove it so it's not wasted. Brilliance will also work but needs to be heat-set, so you need heat-proof acetates / transparencies.
Printing on special inkjet transparencies is another option, but I usually only do that for sentiments.

I have used Stazon and it works great but I found a light touch when stamping is necessary, otherwise the stamp tendsto slide. I used Stazon white on this card: Acetate Santa College by bwstamper at Splitcoaststampers and front Acetate Santa College by bwstamper at Splitcoaststampers

Default great card

this is a fantastic card, can you buy folded acrylic cards for this, or where
do you get transparency that folds so nicely?

I used Dura-Lar by Graffix that I purchased at Hobby Lobby in the art department. It comes in a pad of 25 9x11 sheets. I cut it, then scored the fold with my Scor-it and it folded nicely. I tried it with transparancies by 3M first but the ones I had were a little flimsy, this is a little thicker and stronger than the 3M that I had.
