  • Where do I buy that acetate?

  • I ordered it directly from stampendous they have various thicknesses this is the thinnest. You can use transparencies as well from Office Max but they are pricey!

  • what can you use instead of acetate?

  • Oh my I should have said this in the video, but you can recycle plastic packaging. You know when you buy products and they are packed in the clear plastic that's hard to cut open? Well you can cut flatt square pieces of that and save it for this. All you do is cut out your shapes. Kepp in mind though that you can not heat that kind of plastic though, it melts quickly and has toxic fumes. You can also use the plastic packaging that your baking goods come in! Hope this helps!

  • Have u ever done embossing an acetate sheet x

  • Hi have you ever done embossing on the heat resistant acetate sheets?

  • very pretty i will be having a go at making some of those TFS

  • These are awsome butterflies.Does it have to be acetate sheets or can it be window sheets.

  • Where did you get the Acetate paper and what kind of paint is it paint or ink where did you get it?

  • thank you ...... its beautiful.... going to try it out.

  • BEAutiful!

  • Oh I just put bling on it. OHP sheets work great! I don'tt know about the window sheets, but try it out and let me know how it works. I know permanent markers work well, but remember that permanent marker when colored over itself too many times will make streaky marks and pull up the previous mark. So when you use them color quickly and don't color back over dry ink or it will erase.
