A piece of 12x12 inch acetate
A piece of paper for the base (I recommend a piece of 12x12 paper with a soft pattern or a solid color)
Paper or stickers with fun shapes to arrange on the "staircase"
Double-sided tape
Paper cutter and score board
Scissors (for fussy cutting)
Any embellishments you desire, like gems or ribbon, or die cuts*
* if using die-cut shapes, you will need a die-cut machine
I chose 2 pieces of 12 x 12 paper (a paper for my base, a paper with fun shapes to cut out) and then some solid papers to cut some die cut shapes out of.
I also cut out the topper piece, which sits on top of the Acetate Card. In this case, this paper matches the base card paper. I cut this to 2 x 5 1/2 inches.
**Not pictured:
I cut the back, sentiment piece. This measures 2 x 5 1/2 inches. As well as a small 1 x 5 1/2 inch piece for the front. This paper also matches the base card paper
I scored the acetate at the halfway point, at 5 1/2 inches. I scored the topper piece at 1 inch, and then I scored the base card piece... scoring it at the following:
2 inches, 4 inches, 5 1/2 inches, 7 inches, and 8 inches. If you accordion fold it, you will create the "staircase"
I attached the topper piece to the top of the acetate and the sentiment piece to the back of my Acetate Card.
At this point, I now have an acetate card with a staircase at the base and a back piece for the sentiment.
I used The Ultimate glue to glue my pieces together. It bonds to nearly everything and is very versatile, also dries completely clear!
What a cute card idea, and it sits up on its own, which makes for a nice decoration!
You'll have to stop by the store to see these cards in person, they are such an inspiration!
