Stamps Scrapbooking
I just received a "die-cut cardstock and acetate" pack for scrapbooking...how do I use it?
I don't understand how I can apply the acetate designs to my scrapbook pages. I've looked everywhere online and nothing seems to explain it at all. Do I just glue them on? One site said I needed ink, the other said I needed to stamp them on. I'm really confused. The packet came with no directions what so ever.
Acetate is very versatile for making scrapbook or card elements. Here are some links to show you how it can be used:

http://www.papercraftcentral.com/alcohol-ink-card.html
You can stamp on acetate with a permanent oil based ink then colour it with alcohol inks. Try stamping a black butterfly outline for example and colour it with alcohol inks. Then cut the butterfly out and fold up its wings to make it look 'real'. Apply adhesive to the body to attach it to a card or a scrapbook page.
You can stamp a border around a square piece of acetate and use it to cover and frame up a photo on a page.
Adhere the acetate with little pieces of double sided tape, put in places where you won't see the adhesive (under a stamped or coloured bit for example). You can also use glue dots:

I hope these ideas help you get started using your acetate.
The card stock die cuts can be used to enhance your pages too. You can leave them as they are, or ink the edges, or adhere some designer paper to them, or paint on them, or stamp on them, or use them as journaling spots, or draw on them. You could attach beads or sequins to them, or add brads. You could dry emboss them or heat emboss them.

The whole idea of using any embellishments in scrapbooking is to make pages that you love, so go ahead and let your imagination lead you!
I hope you can enjoy making some special pages with your new goodies now
