Vellum paper or acetate? A complete guide to help you know which paper to use and when. I’ll also teach you how to emboss on both! And not just heat embossing, I’ll share how to use both vellum paper and acetate (also known as “window sheets”) with embossing folders.
During the video you’ll see references to past videos. Be sure to scroll down to see the links for these additional videos where I provide more details about creating each of the techniques featured.
Fair warning about the pictures I’ve shared below. Photographing anything shiny is truly a challenge. While the pictures aren’t perfect, you can at least get a good close up of what each of the techniques look like on both the vellum and acetate.

While 3D or deep impression embossing folders are challenging for both vellum and acetate, I have had great success using regular embossing folders to create unique and stunning results. I’ve got tips on both these products at the links below.

If you choose to stamp directly on vellum be certain to use Stazon ink for the best results. Allow the paper to dry completely before handling and coloring. I recommend dye-based markers to avoid bleeding.
Stazon ink is also the preferred ink for acetate. It’s a bit slippery so be sure your stamp is well inked, on a level surface and that you take your time. Allow the ink to dry completely before handling.
