Paper Napkin Cards!

 Paper Napkin Cards

Here are a few quick and easy cards made from paper napkins.

I pulled apart a paper napkin until I had just the one layer with the design on it. I cut it down so it was a bit bigger than my card stock. Using a glue stick, I completely covered the card stock with the glue. Then I placed the napkin down over the card stock and rubbed gently to adhere the napkin. Then I trimmed off the excess. That's it!! 

You will never look at paper napkins the same way again!! 

For the first card I used the Pop-Up Petals Bundle, All In A Row Embossing Folder,  Deckled Circles Dies, Party Banners Dies,  Hydrangea Hue Ribbon, Hydrangea Hue and Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. (2 new In-colors!)

For this card I used Night Of Navy Cardstock, Beautiful Butterflies Dies (retired), Notes Of Spring Stamp Set and Basic Rhinestone Jewels. 

Now is the time to go and search your drawers for all those pretty paper napkins you have collected and make some cards!!

The new May-August 2026 Stampin' Up! Catalogue launches on Tuesday May 5th as well as the new On-Line Exclusives!! I will post the links on Tuesday! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

You Are A Ray Of Sunshine Fun Fold Card

 You Are A Ray Of Sunshine Card

This is a fun and simple fun fold card. I used the Everyday Arches Dies and matching stamp set.

Directions:

Cut a card base of Basic White Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score at 2 3/4".

Cut 2 different pieces of Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper to 5 3/8" x 2 5/8" and 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" , layer together and attach to card base.

See it here: Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper

Cut 2 pieces of Everyday Happiness DSP to 5 3/8" x 1/2" and cut 2 pieces of Gold Foil Paper to 5 1/2" x 5/8",  attach the strips of DSP to the Gold Foil. Attach one to the card front and one inside the card.

Using the Everyday Arches Dies, cut 1 large Gold Foil Arch, using the next size down, cut 1 from the Everyday Happiness DSP and using the next size down, cut 1 from Basic White C/S.

Using Pretty Peacock Ink, stamp the sentiment onto the Basic White C/S arch. 

Attach the DSP arch to the Gold Foil arch using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, then attach the Basic White Arch using Dimensionals. Add Dimensionals to the lower portion of the back of the Gold Foil arch and attach to the center of the card base.

Using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies, cut out a Lost Lagoon body, a Pretty Peacock detailed body and a Gold Foil center. Layer together.

Wrap some Gold Twisted Thread around your fingers and using some Stampin' Seal to anchor it, attach it to the card front and using a few Dimensionals attach the butterfly over the thread.

Attach 1 Adhesive Backed Dragonflies and Birds embellishment. 

Here is another I made using the Sweets Days Of Autumn DSP. I fussy cut out some of the critters. 

I made the clouds by punching out a cloud shape and using my Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink.

I hope you have enjoyed todays cards and it inspires you to create some of your own designs.

The new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue goes live tomorrow!!!! 🙋
