Acetate as card blanks

I've been making cards with acetate. We have some quite thinck embossed acetate in th shop, and it makes lovely cards. There's a pic of one of them on my blog, though I don't think it photos very well

Whats it like to fold? and do they stand up ok?

They syand up really well coz it's quite thick actate I went over the the folds with a bone folder a few times

I'm doing one at the mo too - your example inspired me to have a go!! It does stand up well, you do need to go over it a few times with the bone folder but once that's done it's fine.

Are you pleased with it? What did you put on it?

This sounds really interesting, might give it ago and stick papercuts on it (re other post)
Bet you could make really lovely xmas cards like this too as you could add "glitter snow" and it would show right through, also the light would shine so any snowy stuff would look fab!!

That sounds a really good idea, I love using acetate, hadn't thought of the snow thing

i have used acetate as card wraps, using toppers on the acetate, but the base of the topper (decoupage) under the acetate.
i like acetate for making 'floating' dangly things for cards they make a great card better as the movement draws the eye like nothing else.
have a go with acetate if you haven't tried it.

Totally agree MM I like the thicker acetate for cards, especially the embossed ones

I love acetate cards, I made one with a friend night before last (friend who came to visit me from newcastle way) she seen one I made back in january, and wanted a card similer. so asked me to show her how i did it....

I do have a photo of it on my blog if you would like to see it
