This napkin technique is so much fun! it's like you are making your own gorgeous card stock--just from decorative napkins! I hope you take a moment to visit me on Instagram as well. Can't wait to see you there! @kali9designs is how to find me! What do you think of this technique? Will you try it? Hope you are all having a great day!

What a good idea. I can't believe how creative people are. May have to try this!!

You should! Thanks for watching, too! 🤗

Beautiful cards.

Very pretty. I know this is an “older” video, but it rolled through my auto play. I wanted to suggest, if you lightly mist the opposite side of your cardstock with water before you do your glue side, it will help prevent so much warping. I do it with watercoloring and it works like a charm. I also flatten them out, if needed, with my laminator (make sure to use a carrier sheet). Again, TFS! 😊

What gorgeous napkins! Another easy way of getting the wrinkles out is to place cling wrap over the napkin, 11:24 spread it out, then use your fingers to push those wrinkles off. Start from the middle out.

I iron my napkins to take out wrinkles and adhere them with 4 or 5 inch double sided adhesive. I occasionally get a wrinkle, but can generally work them out by rubbing them gently. No liquid. No warping.

I suggest the reason your card stock warped is because there wasn’t anything on the back surface to equalise the pullbonfires the extra layer on the front side.

Love this just a question how to you get yours so shiny. Mine have come out quite dull. Do you put something on top? Thanks

@KathyaKalinine

Жыл бұрын

I think mine was a bit shiny due to the type of glue I used. Once dry, you can always add some Mod Podge if you’d like. I hope this helps! 🥰

I can understand why the floral napkin warped so badly. When you wet the napkin and smooth it, the tissue stretches slightly. When it goes on the card stock and dries, it shrinks.

Thank you, Kathya! Atop these cards, did you put a layer of anything? I've out off making the napkin technique because I thought one needed to put a layer of glitter or sealant?

to get rid of the warping you can just put the same amount of glue on the back side of the card. I do the same process with paint too..
