Lovely altered playing cards! I use clear gesso on playing cards when using them in a project and I have not had any problems with paper and ephemera sticking to them. Great prompt for the week.

Thanks Janet, gesso dries very quickly and it’s not as messy as sanding 💕

Awesome trading cards. What a wonderful way to spend Sunday morning. Thanks

These are the most beautiful, embellished playing cards I’ve seen yet…and I’ve just learned how to do embossing, which I’ve resisted for so long…now, to order some embossing powder…love all of your videos…great ideas and presentation…

Now Nina, nobody would have noticed your nails if you hadn’t apologized for them. You should see MY nails, so battered from the garden and sometimes stained with soil and or paint! I feel very fortunate if they come clean when I do the dishes. The little cards are absolutely smashing! I got myNinny’s Napkins and they are so much fun to use. Also, the playing cards make wonderful things to slip into pockets in journals.

Haha, they are starting to chip and have a horrible amount of re growth. Glad you received your napkins and hope you will have fun creating with them. Have a great week 🌸

These are wonderful! I especially loved the technique for stabilizing the napkin focal points with freezer paper! It has been a staple in my craft room for appliqué and many other things, but I have never thought of using it this way. Game changer in making the most of beautiful napkins! Thank you!

These all are so pretty! Love how you can still see the numbers on them so you know they are altered playing cards. I'm taking an Art Class once a week on Wednesday and it's challenging to say the least, so I have not had much time to do any of the prompts, but I'm going to give this one a go right now before I do anything else.

Oh my how cute, I also loved the little lady one you showed with the string of pearls as a hanger. I should write down about that one as I think it would make a fabulous ornament for the Xmas tree - you could maybe revive in the weeks up to Xmas I know I would love to see what you did and I'm sure everyone else would too.

I've been using playing cards to go in Junk Journals I've been making for my nieces & nephews. I cut out the middles of two cards and make "windows" in them and put their initials in the windows and glue the two cards together, back-to-back, then "bling" them up a little bit. I think I will give this a try on the Journals for the 2 teens, which will be more like Art Junk Journals because they like to draw and paint. I never know making JJ's could be so fun. 😁😉LOL! Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent with us.
