So much fun! I love hearing the crinkle of papers, one of the benefits of being a paper addict!😂😂😂

Fusing th napkin to the freezer paper allows use in creating cards, journals and other projects. The texture of the napkins adds to the end result.

May I just say thank you 😊 thank you for showing this regardless and for your upbeat personality it was so refreshing and most enjoyable😉

Hello I am a new subscriber from Michigan. I have been watching a lot of videos this morning for paper crafting and journal and card making. I am going to do this today. I also knit, quilt and use fabric and laces in many art projects.

Great follow up with your ironing napkins Cheryl. I really like both, the tissue paper does have the noise we really enjoy. The freezer paper is a totally new one to me ... love it. Thanks for sharing. Not chocking today, just wish the fires were Out or contained !

Oh good idea Connie

I just use the most transparent paper as possible..like almost transparent tracing paper and glue the napkin onto it and let it dry. I can see the iron coming in handy though. I use glue that will dry clear. I like keeping it as transparent as possible so that if I put a light or votive in a vase or bottle the light will show thru. If the transparency does not matter than any color paper will do that works best with the project. I just really love all of the papers that are available. Also just adding paper to the back of a card or even fancy paper helps strengthen it. When I buy special looking paper I find that sometimes it is thinner than I though it would be so I look for the best thing to paste onto the back of it so that I could prevent tears.

Great tutorial and good ideas. Thank you for the share. Also love your snazzy blue iron! I never think to iron napkins and now I see why it might be helpful. Very helpful. Thank you.

I’ve used freezer paper for crafting for decades now, LOL Another convenient use is to sketch or copy a pattern on the non-wax side and press the shiny side to the fabric before cutting it out. The melted wax goes into napkin so it should hold very well, it does just peel off of fabric - but the pattern piece can be reused a couple of times. TFS

Tracing paper has a rougher side to grab the graphite from the pencils. The sheen on other side “might” be to give a slight resist so pencil doesn’t tear when drawing OR so pencil doesn’t sift through it. There is also a deli paper which at first glance may look like tracing paper but is a little more fragile. If you have meat cut at a store deli this is what they use to let the slices fall on to and hold they handle it for sliding into the bags. It’s basically a sanitary product. There is also deli papers that may have a coating / print on them. This type is to absorb grease from fries burgers etc. I get my white freezer wrap at Costco. It took me near 10 years to use it. I only recently ran out. I’d sure love to find the brown. There is a restaurant supply )open to public) near me. I might check them.

Easier if you put the piece of tape on the middle of the back of the napkin & let it rip. Then you have ragged edges to grab & remove the 2nd or 3rd ply of the napkin. Just seems easier to grab than fiddling trying to work with the napkin’s corner. Thx for the tutorials, good job!

Here in the states we have parchment paper (probably your baking paper) that is silicone impregnated so things slide off of it. We also have freezer paper that has wax impregnated into it so that the wax can melt and adhere to fabric. It is used to wrap meats to put into the freezer as a normal use, but it's probably used more by crafter's here than wrapping meats for the freezer! Both can be found on the aisle with aluminum foil. It's not for permanent use... we use it for applique templates or for stiffening the fabric for painting or printing with an inkjet printer. Then it's peeled off. The parchment prevents things from sticking so it can be used to protect your iron and ironing surfaces from saran wrap sticking. Tracing paper, I don't know! I'm a quilter, so I don''t understand the saran wrap.... I don't think it's permanent thing... Tracing paper I get here at the art store is really thin...

delygirl1961 Hello! I’m sorry to have to ask you this because I used to love watching your channel! You inspired me to create the most beautiful pieces of art that awed those I made them for. For the first time in my life my obsession w tiny meticulous details, my collection of crinkly “ feel good” papers, my love of design and vintage anything all found a purpose. Unfortunately I fell horribly ill a few years ago w a genetic terminal disease . I’ve been in a coma a few times and lost some of my memory. Thankfully I recently remembered you!! Yay! You’ve unknowingly gotten me through some of the most difficult times in my life while struggling w my disease. I’m thrilled to be able to start creating again! Forgive me if I’m confused. But did you ever make several mini journals to give to cancer patients several years ago? I can’t remember if you did or it’s just wishful thinking on my part. I was asked to create more than a dozen journals for a cancer event. I don’t know that it’s humanly possible on a personal level and I wouldn’t be able to as I don’t know these women. I’m not sure if there is a less embellished mini journal idea I could do or if I should just suggest something else. Anyway, I’m rambling, forgive me. Could you please tell me if that was you that created several minis ... or If I just dreamt about your videos while in a coma... lol (trying to keep it light hearted) Thank you for your time.
