| 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. | |

| 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!! | |

| 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 | |
