When I make boxes for the Bookatrix cards, I cut out a section in the lid and replace it with acetate, then decorate the corners with peeloffs.. Looks good and protects the card.

What a brilliant idea i bet it looks classy too,that would look good with other cards so they don't get handled and get grubby no need to open the box and if you put a verse inside the cards that too could be displayed on the outside.  :) :) :) :)

When making a box, to put your bookatrix or decoupage cards in, cut out the centre of the lid and replace with acetate and decorate the corners.   Makes it all look so expensive.

How do you stamp on acetate without smudging? I have a nice Christmas one thst stamps fine on card but as soon as I stamp onto acetate it smudges. I try very hard not to move the stamp but.....

rhyell ... i had a problem stamping acetate at first ... it was more about the stamp skidding when i tried to lift it off after stamping
two things helped me ... one was to stick the acetate sheet down on to a craft mat so it didn't try and "follow me" when i lifted the stamp .. the other was to rub the acetate with an old tumble drier sheet before i stamped.
i honestly think these were both psychological helps because after i had done this a few times without smudging accidents, my confidence increased and it got easier to do!

I am told that you can emboss on acetate, but whenever  I have tried the acetate melts, or crinkles.

I find when heat embossing on acetate do it in short bursts so you are not over heating it. It does take a little longer this way but works ok, it's trial and error but you find your own way of doing things.

I think you can get different thicknesses of acetate as well.

Another way of using peeloffs with acetate is to stick your peeloff on your scraps of acetate and cut round them leave them clear or colour them in, stick them to your project with clear drying glue or acrylic glue.
