Paper Napkin Card!

 Paper Napkin Card!

Paper napkins are not just for cleaning your face anymore! You can also make gorgeous cards with them!

I taught this technique to some new stampers today, they will never look at a paper napkin in the same way! 

The Dollar Stores in my area have a great selection of paper napkins.

Directions:

Cut a Gorgeous Grape Card Stock Base to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4".

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S: 1 @ 4" x 5 1/4" and 1@ 4 1/8" x 5 3/8".

Remove all the white backing from the paper napkin until you are left with just the patterned layer. 

Cut the paper napkin a bit larger that the 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White C/S layer. Scrunch the napkin up in your hand. Gently un-scrunch and flatten it out. 

Lay down a scrap piece of paper onto your work surface. Using a "glue stick" (like you used in school), completely cover the Basic White C/S layer with glue. Then lay your napkin, right side facing out onto the card stock and gently smooth it out. 

Turn this layer over. Using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue or Stampin' Seal, glue the excess of the napkin to the back of the layer. 

Then attach this layer to the slightly larger Basic White C/S layer.

Attach these layers to the card base using Dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment using Gorgeous Grape Ink onto some Basic White C/S and punch out with the 2" Circle Punch.

Punch out a Vellum Decorative Circle. Attach the sentiment circle to the Vellum using Dimensionals. Then attach it to the card front.

Add a Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon Bow and some cute Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish off the card. 

A few of the supplies I have used are retired so use what you have on hand. 

I hope I have helped you to look at paper napkins in a whole different way!
