Acetate in August

Welcome to our big August Acetate Blog Hop! We're shining our spotlight on the clear plastic acetate material that makes terrific cards, boxes, embellishments, and more. It can be stamped on, painted, and embossed -- which makes it a very fun, versatile choice for any project.

Let's start this party with some new, never-before-seen samples made with acetate components of our adorable Birthday Boy Card Kit, designed by Pam Smerker:


And here are a few more from the kits:

And here we have a card from Dusty Patrick. It is the A2 Acetate Card plus straight frame in black cardstock. The rubons are from Basic Grey.





Another sample is this card by Trish Estrella. It is the A2 Gate Fold Crescent Card with Band in Acetate. The stamps are from Fancy Pants.


And now for some fun news! We're getting ready to show off a fabulous new designer kit very soon -- and we're offering one up as a prize. It's so new, we don't even have a photo yet! It's the new Sealife 8"x8" Album Kit. It uses the adorable Doodlebug papers and embellishments, and includes chipboard, cardstock and acetate pages. Here are the four different ways to win it:

(A) Leave a comment on this post. (This is limited to one per person unless you meet the criteria of B, C, and/or D below.) Tell us all about your Christmas card plans. How many are you making? Do you usually say "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas"? Are they fancy or whimsical?

(B) Leave one extra comment if you've posted a link to this blog candy on your own blog. Make sure to include a link to your specific post in your comment.

(C) Leave one extra comment if you become one of our blog followers. See the right-hand navigation column to follow us.

(D) Leave one extra comment if you click over to our page on Facebook and become a fan.

Thank you for coming! The prize has already been awarded.

Speaking of designer kits, there's yet another fabulous kit in the works! It will feature some gorgeous Autumn patterned papers and a nice variety of die-cut cards and embellishments. It will be called (f)All Occasions, and it will feature sentiments for birthdays, thank-yous, and more. Want to see? Okay, here is the very preliminary sneak peek of just some of the beautiful patterned papers:
