Crazy for Challenges Week 11 - Acetate

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to our Crazy for Challenges blog. We enjoyed seeing all your marvelous Easel cards you created for our challenge last week, so many of you said it was the first time you had made one and that you would be making more :)

Before we get onto this week's challenge we need to announce the winner of the 3 stamps donated by this month's sponsor Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Congratulations to #52. Renata . Please email Vicki at vickig@kos.net so that she can let you know how to claim your prize.

Ok now let's get onto this week's challenge, Frances has challenged us to create a card or project using acetate. There are many ways that you can incorporate acetate into your cards and projects, here are just a few ideas:
  • Acetate or Transparent card, see tutorial here.
  • Acetate or Transparent box, see tutorial here.
  • Stamping on Acetate to create a background
  • Using Embossing Folders to create a background
  • Using Alcohol Inks to create a background
  • Embellishments
  • Window Cards
  • Shaker Cards, see tutorial here.
  • Die Cut Acetate Shapes
  • Acetate & Tissue, see tutorial here.
  • Smackin' Acetate, see tutorial here.
  • Snowglobe Cards, see tutorial here.
  • Stained Glass
  • Acetate & Glitter, see tutorial here.
  • Glitter & Acetate, see tutorial here.
Hopefully that will give you a few ideas to get you started, but you may have another idea which I haven't listed. This is just what I came up with when I was thinking about this for a challenge.

If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card/project using the above challenge and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C11. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

First up we have a card from Kim Reid the owner of Kraftin' Kimmes Stamps, this months sponsor.

Eek! Do I have any acetate where I can find it?
You sure do keep me on my toes.

Okay, so I cheated a little. Hopefully that's okay as I just worked with acetate last week so I simply linked to that one! I'm off to try an easel card... something I wanted to do all last week and never got a chance to do. I'm looking forward to more challenges on here and am glad to have found your site!

Katherine Allen said...

What fun! Hope it's okay I combined the two challenges (acetate and easel) and posted in both places. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wonderful samples by the DT! All the adorable images from so many great companies is so fun to see. The acetate is such a great challenge as it can be used so many ways, I love using it for ghost embellishments. Thank you for another crazy 4 challenge week!!
