In this video, I’m going to share the napkin technique with you that if you haven’t tried yet, you will LOVE! And no, you won’t get wrinkles and you don’t need cling wrap! I saw a talented crafter who shared this method on her channel but placed the napkins on drinking coasters instead of a card panel.
If you want a more in-depth detailed version of this napkin technique, check out Iveta Ziedina of Dainty Gifts. Her channel is filled with lots of tutorials of gorgeous decoupage work that you might like. The napkin technique Iveta shares is here: • HOW TO APPLY NAPKIN WI...
I wanted to try this method on card stock and try to get the same smooth results. I’m hooked! It’s a bit on the time-consuming side meaning you have to wait for the card stock to dry once finished, but it’s so worth the wait. The results are super smooth-it almost looks like you have card stock with an image from your napkin and it has this beautiful velvet like texture.
If you want to check out some napkins that don’t require a major investment to have many of the same kind, search the term “Decoupage Napkins” in Etsy. There are so many vendors selling them in packets with several designs. You will have a blast looking at all the options! The Teflon bone folder and non-stick scissors I use in the video can be found here:

**The Multi-Purpose Adhesive Spray I used is from Dollar Tree: www.dollartree.com/beacon-val...
**Honestly, you can certainly put 3 parts water to 1 part glue--you need VERY little glue to make this technique work. :)

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!
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! 😊
How awesome! Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that next time. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

I am going to do this technique got some really pretty napkins to use and your video came at a perfect time so again thank you. Your instructions are so clear and easy to do.
Yay! I'm so glad you found this helpful! Crafty hugs!
I have used napkins before but your tips on getting it smooth is brilliant ❤
Good morning, Julie! I’m up early and just saw your comment. Thank you for the kind comment. Crafty hugs! ♥️
I have seen a few different ways of doing these napkin Cards, but i really love the way do them. Going to try them tonight . Thank you so much From Mount Evelyn, Victoria, Australia
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes! Cheers! ♥️
I love this and will definitely give it a try. ❤ 11:26
They're all beautiful! I run my watercoloured cards through my Big Shot to flatten them. I find it works quite well.
Thanks for the tip! Great idea!♥️
I'm addicted to making napkin cards...gonna try this technique...thank you for sharing 😋
So glad it was helpful! I love it, too! 😍
HA - I'm glad I'm not the only one!😆
I love these. I used to enjoy decorating things with napkin art - bags, cards - I even made a border for a cotton top once (it washed fine until the glue finally gave out after a couple of summers, so I cut off the border & had it like a crop top). Anyway, you've revived my interest - I haven't made cards for years. Thank you 💖
Wonderful! I think this was the first time I used napkin prints on cards. I've done them many times on candles and that's fun and makes a great gift, too! Thanks for the kind comment! 😍
Hello Kathia, thank you for this complete and very well explained technique. Adding Nancy’s tip. The video is perfect. Thank you for playing on the reflections so that we can clearly see the result obtained. Really good ! Happy new year everyone. [Tanee south of France]
Merci, Tanee! Je suis tellement content que vous l'ayez mis fin! Happy New Year! 🎊🎆
If mine have wrinkles I just iron them.Beautiful card.Thank you Kathya.
That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing it! ♥️
I've been looking at different ways to make cards with Napkins and I plan on try those different ways to find out which way I like best.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Marjorie, which method did you find to work best?
That technique looks a lot easier than some I've seen. Thank you. Ruth down under.
Have fun! 🥰
I can honestly say it never ever occurred to me to use napkins on cards, but I can see how appealing it would be! Great tips!
Thanks, my friend!!! ♥️
I love using napkins for cards! I use freezer paper to adhere mine and it seems to work well. I also iron my napkins to make sure they are super smooth. 😬. Your cards are beautiful ❤️
Thanks, my dear friend! I’m going to have to try that! Thanks for stopping by! 🥰♥️
Am thrilled to see your use of the wood diecuts from $1 Tree. I bot alot of them, only to be disappointed in the quality (to use as is). Now I can use them beautifully on cards. Thanks!
Same here! They’re not the best quality. But it’s fun to put metallic embossing powder on them to make them look like metal sentiments! 😍
Oh, excellent idea. I can’t wait to try it!
I am going to try this. A year after you posted!
Hope you like it! Let me know how it goes! Thank you for watching. ♥️
These cards are gorgeous!
I definitely will be trying this. I did it before maybe a year ago and I'm not quite sure how I did it but I know it was not as wonderfully successful as I'd hoped. But this looks like it will fly. TYFS!
💛TR
It’s super fun! I hope you get non-warp results! Let me know how it turns out! 🥰
@@KathyaKalinine I will try to remember. I put it in my techniques folder. 😉
Love this video too, i am dying to try it out myself, as i have a couple of lovely napkins, that need to be smooth, as they are plain white with some lovely sentiments and a lot of white space. I've been binge watchibg lots of your amazing videos!! Love your channel, thx so much, but... Really time to sleep, way pas time 😂😉😱🤭💤👋👋👋
Haha! I was already asleep when you typed this. So glad you’re enjoying my videos! ♥️
Definitely plan to do this. Looks much easier and prettier than what I just did the other day and it came out terrible.
Just a tiny hint of glue goes a very long way. Let me know how it goes! 🥰
Great presentation. Staight to the point and nicely explained. Just wish I could save it..I'll just have to look in my history for it.
thank you, dear Beverly!!! Crafty hugs to you! 🥰
Why can’t you save it?
@@coolrunnings3 becauase there is no 'save' button..ususlly it is along the bottom, in the thunbs up area...I can go to History.
@@beverleypeacock I do have a ‘save’ button. Strange 🤔
@@coolrunnings3 Hmm . I looked but all I can see is 'save' or 'thanks'. Usually there are either a save button or three little dots and save is a choice there. I have neither. I am only continuing this conversation for the purpose of educating about the functions of RUclips. Or maybe it's my old Mac....No sweat.
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.
great suggestion! I’ll try that next time! 🥰
❤
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.
Love this tip! Thanks for sharing! 🤗
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.
So so excited to have found your channel 🥰 Love all your tutorials 🥰 Did you do a video of the before and after of your craft room? Would love to see it 🥰❤🤗
Hi Jackie! Thanks for subscribing! ♥️ I am still working on my craft space. I work full time and have had too many landscaping projects taking up all my free time. I am almost done so I will show it soon! Thanks so much for watching! ♥️
@@KathyaKalinine All good my sweet friend 🥰❤ The best things are always worth waiting for 🥰❤🤗
@@jackiebarton7 you’re the best! ♥️♥️♥️
@@KathyaKalinine 🥰❤🤗😘
I am going to try this today. I am making altered books and like to use the torn out papers for my embellishments to keep the style throughout the book. I made some page edge snippets and tried to use napkins but they didn't look great so I wonder if this will work on page paper instead of cardstock. Going to give it a try anyway. TFS
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes! 😍
This video is 2 years old but it just popped up in my feed. I’ve seen a number of napkin techniques but yours has got to be the best. I’ve love the way you explain things. I’ve subscribed and and liked look forward to watching more videos.
Awesome! Welcome and thanks for the kind comment! ♥️
I don’t have page protectors. What else can I use please? Beautiful!
Hi! You can try acetate or even the Dollar Tree cutting mats! 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.
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..
What a great idea! I will certainly try that!
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
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! 🥰
How do you cut the napkin adhered card stock to make a card front panel? Rotary cutter, scissors, guillotine cutter? I don’t want to ruin it after putting all that work into it. Your cards are gorgeous!
I waited until it was completely dry. I’m a fan of guillotine trimmers, so that’s what I used. Always nice and crisp results! 🙂
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?
I didn’t put anything on top. This dried beautifully and no extra work was needed! 🥰
@@KathyaKalinine Thank you for replying, Kathya!
I could not locate the site to see how you make added thickness to your dye cut wording.

Can you use any plastic
I’d say yes…any plastic that is flexible should work! 🙂
Can I use modge podge with water for the glue? I keep buying cute napkins but I haven’t made cards cuz I’m not exactly sure how to do it.
Hi Suzanne! I’ve never tried it with Mod Podge. If the product is on the liquid side rather than a paste, I think it would work beautifully. No need to go out and buy more glue. I say use what you have and experiment! Let me know how it goes! 🥰
@@KathyaKalinine thanks! I will do that!!
It is liquid, I would just add water like you suggested.
Yes, exactly. A little bit of glue goes a long way, I found. Have fun! 🥰
If you dampen the back of the paper it will dry with less warping.
Thanks for the tip! ♥️
Beautiful cards!!!
But I don’t understand why you’d go thro all that mess & work when you can just use saran wrap as the adhesive?
On cardstock that buckles, I run it thro my die cut machine in a sandwich & that helps alot.
I hear you. I just didn’t want to fuss with plastic wrap and dealing with an iron. I was just playing around with this technique since I saw another RUclips creator demonstrating it. Thank you for watching, Debbie! 😍🥰

No offense. I'm sure you're wonderful, but I'm already subscribed to way too many card making channels. I'm not familiar with your cards & I have never seen one of your videos. I'm not subscribed to you, so why am I getting push messages about your posts? I don't know if You Tube is doing this on their own, but I really can't handle any more You Tube videos. If you have a way of stopping this, I would greatly appreciate it. Best of luck to you. The cards at the beginning of the video were lovely. I didn't watch the whole thing.
It is RUclips doing it not this lovely RUclipsr
