Acetate Technique

There's a new Acetate Technique that is taking the Paper Crafting world by storm! So I decided to create a quick video demonstrating the simple steps for achieving its stunning look.
Please visit my StampinBuds Blog at www.stampinbuds.com for complete details about the products used, along with some tips and tricks to ensure the success of your project.
Happy Creating!

It's like a type of bargello design. I like it!

[@rollonmom]

Great idea for little squares

[@elizabethnovak4951]

I really like this great acetate technique! Thanks for sharing it.

You are very welcome!

Watching for 1st time…..I love this card, especially because it’s for a guy. I struggle thinking of cards for a man. TYFS. 😊

[@stampinbuds]

I have a couple more masculine cards coming out soon. Be watching on Thursdays. ;)

[@JoanneOwens1943]

Love this concept. TFS ❤

Thank You for the demo.........loved it. pat

You’re my kind of crafter-right to the point, and great designs!

[@stampinbuds]

I'm trying really hard to not be long-winded because I (myself) can't stand watching long videos. So I'm hoping others are like my style. LOL I guess we'll find out! ;)

[@coolstamper]

Oh Shannon, I LOVE the background you made with the acetate. I love making my own backgrounds now and then, and this is at the top of the list for my next card!!! I also just finished part 2. Awesome cards…TYFS! New subbie here too!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸😮

[@stampinbuds]

Awww thank you! It really was a fun couple of cards to make. I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)

Thisisa very nice technique. Your card turned out beautiful!

[@stampinbuds]

Thanks so much! :)

[@susantabone1570]

Nice card, great way to use scraps. Was surprised to see a Close to my Heart work surface, that was the company that started me on my stamping 'career' 20 something yrs ago!

[@stampinbuds]

How crazy is that! I've been a consultant for just over 22 years now so basically it's where I started, too. ;)

[@elizabethnovak4951]

Also where I started and while I’ve now gone rogue, I’d still love to see some/more consultants posting things. I don’t remember the rules but if it’s not allowed, it’s a terrible missed opportunity on their part. No need for a pushy video but to have CTMH products show up in the list of supplies used would be a great opportunity. Ask SU.

[@stampinbuds]

@@elizabethnovak4951 I've been with CTMH for over 20+ years and I'm just now trying to figure out the whole KZbin thing. LOL CTMH has definitely changed over the years but I also can't image my life without them. So many great products...I really need to get back to making kits, too!

[@madamebec]

Overhead projector sheets work too.

[@stampinbuds]

Perfect!

[@newdaycraftingthemindfulway]

Great idea! Love the colors

[@stampinbuds]

Thank you so much!

[@ellen-marie6692]

Very nice!!

[@stampinbuds]

Thank you!

[@edithshaw2473]

Fun card. Where did you get the small sticky dots. I often wish for dots that aren't so thick when adding smaller pieces to a card.

[@introvert22]

I wondered how people made this type of card. TFS.

[@stampinbuds]

You are super welcome!

[@sweetsarah9702]

What is the purpose of the peel off layer on the acetate? Great card BTW!

[@stampinbuds]

I believe that it's to protect the more sensitive side of the acetate so that it doesn't scratch. I've also read that it's a film that is added so that big sheets can be cut down into smaller sizes without sensitivity damage.

[@cindyrobinson2199]

Very nice card. I love the colors in the papers. When you did the stamping, what was the foam for?

[@stampinbuds]

The foam helps to give some “give” between the stamp, paper and the table. I always make sure to use the foam when I’m working with large stamps but I don’t tend to use it when I need a harder surface, like with small stamps. I hope that makes sense?

[@cindyrobinson2199]

@Shannon B yes it does and I figured that was it. I just wanted to be sure. I will have to give that a try.

[@stampinbuds]

@@cindyrobinson2199 Anything spongy will do. It's just easiest to use the foam piece that comes with each Stamp Set, though. :)
