I agree Helen - But I have to go with the birds; it's another passion of mine!

All of your cards are beautiful. I really like how you outline the bird. That light touch made a big difference.

Thanks Roxanne! Did you check out vippies.com? You can get about 3 napkins of each one that you like so you don't have a pack of 20 to deal with.

Truly lovely cards. Great usage of those gorgeous napkins.

Thank you so much! These napkins were meant to be something other than napkins for sure!!

I love all 3 cards but I have a thing for birds, butterflies and dragonflies so of course my favorite is the bird card.

These are gorgeous! Hard to pick one, but I guess if I had to it would be the card with the birds.

Napkins can add something special to a card. Did you see the video where I used the white backing too? Here is a link kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIF5tceadNHImrA.html

That is a really good idea to use the second layer with a ghost pattern for the inside of the card, now why didn't I think of that ? 😄 I love your cards, thanks for the great ideas !

@@SeniorSusieStamps Thank you for your reply, as I am in the UK I can't buy from that napkin source. But, I do have already a large drawer full of napkins that I bought a couple of years ago, I went a bit mad at the time and bought every pack I could find, typical crafter 😅

Beautiful cards. I use catalogus to glue in and often i put the napkin upside down and put the cardstock on it.

Hi Margaret - I will be interested to see how to make paper napkins. When I have some time later this week I'll search. Do you have any suggestions for interesting videos showing how to make? Thank you!!

AWESOME cards!!!!! A former neighbor taught me years ago to make a "napkin card" but I never knew it was decoupage. One thing she did differently was to emboss the card front before the glue was dry and then cut it down like you did. That made sure the napkin was well stuck to the card stock and made the whole thing even prettier. My napkins are not nearly as pretty as yours - thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing that Kathy!! I'll try it next time I get around to my napkin stash. One thing I like about vippies.com (if you are USA) is that you can order a nice variety and only get a few of each. I've also ordered from amazon, but then you end up with 20 napkins or so - yikes!

She would bring home a couple of extra napkins from all of their VIP functions and shared them with me but my supply is dwindling now so I will check them out. Yes I am in the US, I live in Florida.

Question? Do you use Mod Podge?

@kathykelly283

Don't know if you are asking Julia or me Elaine but I do not. I just use glue stick all over my white card stock and press the napkin with my fingers and then maybe with a brayer. Then I run it through my embossing machine in a folder before the glue has dried completely. Now you have a lovely background piece or even the entire card front, just add a sentiment.

Ohhhh Julia, I love, love, love all three cards. These are the type of cards that I like, as they are so pretty and girlie with added bling! 💎 You are so lucky to have found these beautiful serviettes, and lovely to make into a card to keep rather than for the purpose of a serviette which then ends up being thrown away! You are one clever and creative lady. 😊 The inside of your cards always look so special, and since watching your videos I have been decorating the inside of my cards as well. If I have to fussy cut an image I like to use the Tonic Tim Holtz 5 inch of 7 inch scissors. I find I have more control with the micro serrated edge compared to a normal craft scissor. Looking forward to your next crafting project, so until then happy crafting! Blessings, love and hugs. Gloria 🥰🌺💝

I am so glad you liked these! The ebay store I ordered from is Napkinworld and most were $1.98 for 2 napkins. I really don't want many more than that of each style so it's perfect for me. And with free shipping here in the US I will be purchasing a few more. Yes my favorite fussy cut scissors are the same TH. I always have to do a precut tho because I don't want the serrated edge. I'm still working up to a studio tour for you so don't give up hope! Talk soon - and have a wonder filled week!

I really appreciate the tips

Hi Mary Lynn - If you can't find that one in CA then perhaps try UHU. It is good also. Try to find on that is well rated and has the large head. It makes life much easier for these things. You can also use collage medium, it just requires a brush...Have a wonderful week! PS I think the Pink Rose is my Fave also!!

And you know me I hate not to use pretty things so I thought about the inside...another viewer suggested stamping under the layer and I found that works if you use Memento ink not Versafine - it smears when you put glue stick on it.

Hi Poohdbearaf - I went back and watched this video and I think what you are referring to is the glue stick. This is the one I think is the best - www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Value-Sized-Photo-Stick/dp/B00004ZCM4/ref=sr_1_6?crid=PDJWB47WA30T&keywords=pioneer%2Bphoto%2Bglue%2Bstick%2Bacid%2Bfree&qid=1694030045&sprefix=Pioneer%2BPhoto%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-6&th=1

I was wondering if you could stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card and then glue the thin napkin layer over top. Do you think the stamp ink would smear?

I stamped 2 different times once with Memento Black and once with Versafine Onyx Black (which I thought would show through better). The Versafine smeared with the glue stick and didn't work at all even though it was completely dry. The Memento came through just fine, tho the text is much fainter.
