Great card. Just wanted to also share that I use spray adhesive on back of napkin after removing the white layers then add to card stock. Then cut to size. A2 or 5x5 or 6x6. Whatever. I like your wrapping paper gold glitter. Wonderful ideas looking around your home to make cards. I also use recycle Kleenex box for my cards.
A nice idea for making cards - Thanks! Double stick sheets would also work well to hold the napkin to the cardstock. A third way to apply the napkin would be to put your napkin face down and apply your card to the back. You will likely be able to see through to get the best position of your design.
Great tutorial. I used the cling wrap technique for my Christmas cards and I love it. I ironed it straight onto my card and used a nail file to get rid of excess. It works wonderfully.
I just bought some Australiana napkins and was going to use them for my pop up cards, but I think instead, the way you do it is so much better and will be easier for me. Thanks for a great tutorial. Learnt something new again.
Just watched your video, 3 years after you made it. Love your ideas. Stampin Up! has a new trimmer similar to the one you have and it's awesome. I use mine all the time. Watching from snowy and cold Canada 🇨🇦
I love using my atg tape gun never thought of applying a napkin on my card with it however I'm going to give it a try thank you for sharing I joined your family and looking forward to next DIY a great day and God bless you
Hi Chris. I love this card. I never thought about using that fake snow for decorating like that. Great idea. I’m usually don’t like glitter or anything like that because it gets all over the place. But I’ve learned that you can stay a little finish on it. I would cover the napkin and just leave that snow decoration visible Anna spray with something like mod podge spray acrylic sealer. Works like a champ. I subscribed. I look forward to seeing what you make next.
I just bought 6 packages of napkins yesterday! I was going to decoupage, but I’m a card maker, so I think I will try this! Great idea! Thanks! I’m a new subscriber!
It would be nice and helpful if you would post a supply list. For example, the snow you used on the greenery. If you mentioned any info about it I missed it.
I love to shop for napkins every holiday now. I’m starting a collection just like I have done with scrapbook paper & supplies. If looking for good trimmers try Fiskars brand. Blades are available at most craft stores and on Amazon. Fiskars also has a lifetime warranty on their products!
Oh no.... That's another craft idea I HAVE TO TRY. They look lovely, thank you for sharing. I might have to move into my small bedroom and make my big bedroom into a craft room , what next lol .... Once again thank you.
Yes I think that's a great idea and later (very soon) you'll move into a bigger room like the linving room !😉! I know what it feels !! Good luck and thank you for your great mood !!🌺💐
Hi there. Your video has found it's way into my feed and I am very excited. I make many cards and am always looking for new ideas. This is just so cool - and mess-free. Thanks for sharing❣️
I will try the tape napkin card I've do the iron on and embossing on them,can't wait to try ,l have same stampin up cutter and extra blades but l have no embossing blades do you have extra I'll trade for some embossing ones
Love your technic, I will have to try this. I’ve always used a glue stick. I wrap the edges over to the back and glue down, because I can never get a nice clean cut that’s straight! Love your embellishments! I’m glad I found your channel. I’m a new subie and clicked the bell for more of your videos. The card is adorable! Love this technic!
I'm picking up some great ideas on UA-cam and I do have some butterfly napkins which have just been in a drawer for a long time but I'm definitely going to try this with them,fab xx
thank you so much for letting me know this. it was late at night when i sent my question to you. Ill re-watch your videos in future before jumping in with obvious questions! lol much appreciated.
What a great idea. I have seen loads of videos using napkins but never using this method to stick them to the card. Well done. I have hit the subscribe button and will check out the link to the glass ornaments you mentioned. Thank you.
Thank you so much Linda ! I'm so happy you liked it. I love trying to find different ways to use our stuff. It makes things more fun and also worth buying. Have fun an let me know !
Take alarge piece of aluminum foil, make very tight ball and stable your blade area into the foil as many times as you like, the more the more effective. It sharpens your blade. It does work. Do it often after you use it, it will keep the blade sharp.
Great idea but i do not cut the napkin direct from the cart border but leave a small peace on 4 sides and glue a bit on the backside and fold the overlapping to the back the same as I do with my washi tape.
Thanks fir that idea I used double sided sheet and modge podge will try your idea what do you use on glass plates I have used. The modge ? I am in Australia
I didn’t know this technique but I thank you for teaching me because now I can make more cards God bless stay safe and I’ll watch you again oh by the way how do you make that a plate flowered plate the one that you showed please let me know where I can find it thank you have a blessed day Jesus loves you
Here is the video if you wish to watch it where I use these plates. I found mine few years ago in a regular shop and thought they would look great. More often you fine them squares but they are totally transparent. Sorry but I can't give any shop name because that was a while ago. I'm sure you'll be able to these almost anywhere but maybe not the same shape. Let me know if you did June. God Bless you too and your family.
These cards are really lovely. You have done a great job, a nice new way to use up napkins. And some great designs on them as well. Great job. Julia Cassidy from Nottingham England
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous cards with napkins. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too.
New subbie and viewer and what a video to come in on :) LOVE this idea. I have a question though and I am presuming the answer will be do NOT take the layers apart, but is this one complete napkin or did you take the layers off? I also had those feelings about my old SU! paper trimmer, but the 'new improved' version is a lot better in many ways :) Hi from Australia and the weather here feels like that fake snow for me right now :)
Hi Kerry and thank you for your lovely comment. Ok so you are going to be surprised but YES take all the layers apart !! I don't say it in the video ?? Shame on me ! Otherwise the top layer will end up not sticking. Thank you for feed back about the trimmer. I hope the weather will be better and a huge hug to all Australians ! Take care Kerry. 😃
Hello! I found you on UA-cam and am so excited to try the napkin idea!! But, I don’t have a craft iron…. What dry setting should I use on a regular iron?? And, is there a special brush to use for glue? Synthetic bristles, maybe? Hope you will respond! Thank you!
A xron machine would work too. Then you know you got all the card with doubke side tape all over it. Also lay napking upside down then lay card stock down on the napkin could work too
that tape dispenser is MASIVE!! How do you work with that? Great ideas thought. BTW hand sanitizer or alcohol will remove the glue from your scissors. just need to use a cloth and rub a little.
I use Fiskars brand. Looks very similar to your cutter. Blades readily available @ Amazon. Question : did you remove the layers off the napkins ? Usually that's done when using mod pog . thanks for sharing 🥰👍🌈
I have seen this done with saran wrap and napkins instead of sticky tape. This looks easier. However, did you only use the top layer of the napkin? You should show how you separate the napkins so people know to do that. 😁
Thanks very much for the technique. Great and simple. I had never seen before. I will do it very soon. Much easier than with the glue or podge. I love the effect. As well many thanks for the idea with the wrapping papier. I just blught some rolls for crafting though i did not know how to use it, specially the very thin hollographic one. Merci!! 🎈

I LOVE using napkins for cards. I use a glue stick. Very economical and produces great results.
Love it. GREAT IDEA 😂
Great idea! I have used a glue stick. And I love the cricut paper trimmer. It is awesome!!
Well I wouldn't have thought of the cricut trimmer, thank you Shirley !!
Yes I love this idea. I will be doing this for my cards this year.💖💖💖💖💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Envoy !! It's so easy !!
I've always put off using napkins as I and glue don't mix, your way is much easier, Ruth down under.
Thank you for sharing this technique!
My pleasure thank YOU !
I so love servettes you can get lovely ones in a junk shop, they look lovely. Great birthday cards as well.
I just bought some Australiana napkins and was going to use them for my pop up cards, but I think instead, the way you do it is so much better and will be easier for me. Thanks for a great tutorial. Learnt something new again.
Thank You Eva ! I'm happy it could help. I like to try different ways ti use up the same products.
Put your napkin face down on the table and apply the card to it instead of the other way around to avoid wrinkles.
Thanks for the tips !
I use a wooden rolling pin to make sure napkin is adhered down good and smooth.
apply a larger card to the entire napkin and THEN cut the card to your liking. Used the techniques recomended below. Is easier to manage
I have lots of napkins, AND wrapping paper! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Well I think you're all set to make wonders !! Have fun Dela !!
My go to is the 12 inch Fiskars trimmer...blades can usually can be bought in craft stores...walmart...office supply stores.🙂
Love the video.
Great tip! Thanks Kimberly for your help !

Great idea but i do not cut the napkin direct from the cart border but leave a small peace on 4 sides and glue a bit on the backside and fold the overlapping to the back the same as I do with my washi tape.
Close To My Heart has a Friskars cutter that has both types of blades and you can buy replacements.
Really cute. Great technique. Thanks for sharing❣️

Thanks for the idea love it
Thank you Linda !
Very cute card.
Love your cards.
Thank you so much !
Your cards look great. Thanks for sharing. Did you use just 1 ply ( the top layer) of the napkin?
Yes I did. Always use the first layer ONLY !! Thank you Ann!
Did you pull the napkins apart? This is an awesome technique, thank you.
I didn’t know this technique but I thank you for teaching me because now I can make more cards God bless stay safe and I’ll watch you again oh by the way how do you make that a plate flowered plate the one that you showed please let me know where I can find it thank you have a blessed day Jesus loves you

About the paper cutter, if you have a walmart store it has ones that you can buy the blades when you buy the cutter.
Thank you Elaine for that tip I will give it a look !
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous cards with napkins. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too.
New here
I tried this technique the other day with wet glue does take time to try
Yes it takes time and more than often it buckles too. SO now you have another option. Welcome to my channel Vaye !
Fantastic!!!
Cute card, thanks for sharing your tips & techniques 💖
I just received a set of 4 from stamping up australia
How lucky you are !! So thay are still making them? Great!
New subbie and viewer and what a video to come in on :) LOVE this idea. I have a question though and I am presuming the answer will be do NOT take the layers apart, but is this one complete napkin or did you take the layers off?

Hi from Australia and the weather here feels like that fake snow for me right now :)
Hi Kerry and thank you for your lovely comment. Ok so you are going to be surprised but YES take all the layers apart !!
I don't say it in the video ?? Shame on me ! Otherwise the top layer will end up not sticking. Thank you for feed back about the trimmer. I hope the weather will be better and a huge hug to all Australians ! Take care Kerry. 😃
Love it, great idea
Fabulous!

Love this idea thx for sharing
You are so welcome! My pleasure Liz
Maybe try cutting foil in your paper trimmer and see if that sharpens the blade. I love my small guillotine from tonics. It's perfect for card making.
A xron machine would work too. Then you know you got all the card with doubke side tape all over it. Also lay napking upside down then lay card stock down on the napkin could work too
Yes great idea too thanks !
I've found that the cheap cling wrap works and the better brands don't.
Very nice. Thanks!
that tape dispenser is MASIVE!! How do you work with that?
Great ideas thought. BTW hand sanitizer or alcohol will remove the glue from your scissors. just need to use a cloth and rub a little.
Very Clever.
Love it! New subscriber!
where do you live if you don't mind me asking. Cause I grew up in Missouri and moved to NZ and you described it the same as I would.
Woe awesome idea ♥️
Thank you Maria !!
I use the Fiskars brand #1 they are always on sale and #2 replaceable blades and scoring blades are sold it sets.
You must live in Florida! Wecome
Nope I used to live In Michigan !! But I have been in Florida and loved it too !
I use Fiskars brand. Looks very similar to your cutter. Blades readily available @ Amazon. Question : did you remove the layers off the napkins ? Usually that's done when using mod pog . thanks for sharing 🥰👍🌈
How many layers of the napkin do you use.ost of my napkins have 3 layers
I have seen this done with saran wrap and napkins instead of sticky tape. This looks easier. However, did you only use the top layer of the napkin? You should show how you separate the napkins so people know to do that. 😁
I agree with Linda Shine
Very cute
I use glue stick and then I press the cardstock down on the napkin that is placed facedown.
I prefer the gioutiene method. Fiskarsvhas some great ones. They selfsharpen with each cut.
Yes I used to have one and love it ! Self sharpened must be great.
Thanks very much for the technique. Great and simple. I had never seen before. I will do it very soon. Much easier than with the glue or podge. I love the effect.
As well many thanks for the idea with the wrapping papier. I just blught some rolls for crafting though i did not know how to use it, specially the very thin hollographic one.
Merci!! 🎈
O problema com a peça pode ser a borracha do corte gasta. Essa tira de borracha vai acumulando resíduos.
I tried the cling wrap/iron method. It came apart.
