I'll have to dig up that tutorial by Laura - she's hilarious! Thanks for the suggestion! I LOVE watching tutorial videos. Admittedly, this isn't my first time working with paper. Cards are new to me but I did start Project Life this year (which is slow going considering I'm in love with card making!) and about 10 yrs ago, I'd been doing 12x12 scrapbook layouts for about 6 months - couldn't get myself to be creative enough to fill 12x12 pages and pretty much gave up on that! But cards are an amazing amount of immediate gratification in a tiny package. I LOVE it!

The two I've seen are brilliant. Your stripes are great. I have stamped these stripes like this (patchy) and it gives a nice effect. If you want to get them to be solid, you can stamp them multiple times using a stamp-a-ma-jig (or lego blocks, or similar, in an L shape if you don't have one). Laura Bassen has a tutorial somewhere on how to stamp plaid (outside of the Insider class) which I found really useful. I don't think you need much teaching though, your stripes and acetate card turned out fabulous.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593478482380900371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318571894579757020.post-24888121238945800182013-09-27T13:44:48.269-07:002013-09-27T13:44:48.269-07:00Thanks Tracy!

You should try it ~ I've never used acetate on a card before (I didn't even really start making handmade cards until about a month ago so I'm new to it all!) but it went just fine. I have transparencies that are normally used for overhead presentations which worked great and it's probably cheaper than buying the precut cards. I also don't have a die cutter or craft dies (yet) so I couldn't do a fancy border. Still ok with me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952582833560400779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318571894579757020.post-49066811337964537482013-09-27T12:43:17.972-07:002013-09-27T12:43:17.972-07:00I am so glad you tried this card.
