Try using acetate
for some interesting additions to your creations
Acetate is an interesting material to work with, give it a try for some different effects.
You can buy these sheets singly or in packs and they come in different weights. They can be used for lots of projects so have some fun with them and see what you can create. Here are some of the things you can do with it.
The thicker sheets can be used to make a complete box with, or make a box from matching card, and use it in the lid. Add a piece into the top so that you can see your creation through it. Add some peel offs for that extra touch and send it with love. Or embellish it with flowers as I did with the box for the
Memory book
Use it to add a window to some paper crafted frames and put your favourite pictures or photos behind it.Click this link to find out how to make the pink
Paper flower
Use the printable material to make toppers for your cards. Make sure you print onto the rough side though and then leave it for a couple of minutes to dry before you start to work with it. I printed four of these snow scenes onto one piece and cut them up. I layered them onto a glitter card with brads and mounted it at an angle onto my card.
Or leave it as a complete sheet and use it to wrap around the card for an elegant touch.This sheet was wrapped around a linen effect white card stock and decorated with peel offs, hearts and ribbons.
Another idea is to use it in an aperture for your card front. I cut out the opening I wanted and fixed the acetate behind it with double sided tape, then decorated the front with the ever useful peel offs. And of cousre I just had to add some flowers...wouldn't be the same without them!
Here is the tutorial
on how to make this card for yourself. And you will need the
template
for the opening in the front of it.
