Finger prints on acetate cards....

Acetate can look really messy if you get finger prints and smudges on it when making the card and quite a few friends have asked how I manage to keep mine so clean. Well don't look too closely, but to be truthful I clean the card after it's finished.

If I place a peel off in the wrong place and it leaves a sticky residue when moved I use Sticky Stuff remover by Betterware, but I think Lakeland sell something similar to clean the area. You have to be really careful obviously not to get it on the card stock, but with care you can a get a really good smear free finish.

If it's just finger prints on the acetate I use a dry or almost dry cloth (from the Sticky Stuff remover) to buff the card up.

Hope that's been of help to someone.

Pawprint free acetate....

I seem to be getting a lot of people asking me how I manage to do acetate cards and keep them finger print free. Well, I don't think any of my cards would stand up to examination by the teams at CSI, but I do give them a little polish with a soft cloth carefully after completing and if any major disasters have occured 'Sticky Stuff Remover' used wisely brings them up a treat.

I don't know whether anyone else has done this but if you put a peel off on acetate and then decide it's not quite right it does leave a quite nasty mark, but this can be removed quite easily with the wonderful 'Sticky Stuff' remover. Actually, not that I would do this of course, but if you attach something in the wrong place with DST and have to pull it off the acetate can still be rescued with this marvellous product.
