How to create beautiful cards using Napkins - a fun mixed media project

- Thank you for stopping by to watch this tutorial. For hundreds more videos, full of hints and tips and crafty inspiration then head over to my channel @corrinecrafts
Earlier this year I purchased a bundle of napkins to use to make some cards. The ideas have been floating around in my head since then. So here is the tutorial of how I used them to make a beautiful background for this card. Bringing in some inks and stencils then the results are gorgeous.
I think this is a brilliant 'cheat' if you don't like doing lots of stamping and colouring or inking - minimum effect and you will get the maximum effects.
The flower is made using the Fresh Florals stamp and die set from @julie8hickey Designs; Julie Hickey Designs products are such amazing quality and fantastic to work with. And by stamping on to a matching background the flower coordinates perfectly.
As always this project can be adapted to work with your existing craft stash - if you don't have any suitable napkins you could easily use rice papers, so please have a look at what you already have and what's not being used and I hope this project inspires you to have a go. But most importantly, enjoy the process

That’s the best news Kerry. If you don’t have napkins look for patterned rice paper. So glad you could join the channel xx
Last week I purchased a couple sheets of rice paper that I thought was beautiful. Never having worked with it before, I was stumped on how to use them. Until now. Thank you for this wonderful video. Blessings...

Corrine, I’m a junk journaller, but make the occasional card. I so enjoyed your video. Loved the fact you are in the UK as I am. New subscriber here. Thank you.
That’s fantastic Pauline. Welcome. It’s great to have you here. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my channel xxx
I have two birthdays coming up in a month, and had no idea what I wanted to do. I have done napkin cards, but generally as the whole card front. I have to go have a look at my stash and play with using parts of napkins as backgrounds/ focal points/and bases for collage. Thanks for the perfect jump start. ( It’s snowing here right now, then ice, then rain later in the day, so I might have an excuse to hunker down in the craft room! Or at least sort the the napkin collection.
Sounds like the perfect day to spend in your craft room/are Bev. Enjoy. And so glad you found the tutorial helpful xx
