The tutorial can be found: <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/acetate_card/">here</a>.<br /><br />It did not take very long for me to make this card. I used acetate sheets from Stampendous! They were already the perfect size, all I had to do was fold it in half. There are definitely some things I would do differently next time when making an acetate card such as using glue dots instead of my ATG gun. I could imagine it would look neater when you see the dot through the other side. Also, to be more careful when stamping on the actual acetate, it gets real slippery!<br /><br />Here are the materials used for the card:<br /><br />Stamps: All Through the Year (cherry)<br />Paper: Whisper White, Rose Red, Black CS<br />Ink: Basic Black, Stazon White, Rose Red and Garden Green markers<br />Accessories: Brads, Marvy Punches, $1 Ribbon<br /><br />I also played with the <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ee/index.php/resources/tutorials/polished_stone/">polished stone technique</a>.</div><div>It was super easy!!! It makes for a beautiful background. The card I made using it is really, really simple and plain. I just wanted to see what it would look like. I am definitely going to do this again!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Stamps: Monkeys from Great Impressions</div><div>Paper: Glossy CS, Lavendar Lace, Textured paper bought from LSS <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99eDpUCuFJKWffAkmdb2hPbEHoP2sqyYbcSvbehOabCTcXWcJF8I0IIxEQnO8xDi0GLiWvNMeEckucIaLPRDhVFeWYKtdkT15NfOKgDOnycuZEQr1Fqxo-W3Vt4YlaWUB7cZixfGbq9n_/s1600-h/DSC00122.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158480229346549906" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi99eDpUCuFJKWffAkmdb2hPbEHoP2sqyYbcSvbehOabCTcXWcJF8I0IIxEQnO8xDi0GLiWvNMeEckucIaLPRDhVFeWYKtdkT15NfOKgDOnycuZEQr1Fqxo-W3Vt4YlaWUB7cZixfGbq9n_/s320/DSC00122.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Ink: Basic Black</div><div>Accessories: Re-Inkers in Cool Caribbean, Lavendar Lace and Starlite Silver (Archival Brilliance), Black Grosgrain Ribbon</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I really had lots of fun with these techniques!</div>Crazy Cocoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01239049120268403541noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565058498328767332.post-78228988733890889032008-01-21T16:35:00.000-08:002008-01-21T20:42:24.334-08:00Exciting!My first attempt at blogging! I don't know how long this will last but hopefully it will generate enough interest in viewers for me to want to keep doing it.<br /><br />Just some background info: It's almost been exactly a year since I went to visit my sister in Las Vegas. She was entertaining the idea of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demo and although I had seen her creations I really didn't know what it was all about. Sooo I sat down and made about five cards and fell in love! Just like that! It brought back a memory from grade school that I really enjoyed using stamps!<br /><br />Now here I am, with hundreds of dollars worth of stamps and supplies blogging about it... This, my dear, is not a cheap hobby.Crazy Cocoahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01239049120268403541noreply@blogger.com0
