Thank you for watching… I really like the humming bird napkins a lot, too. You are correct about Mod Podge… I need to watch what I say. We have a bad habit of letting the little ones in our family transform how we say things and assimilating those pronunciations into our daily speech. My son (who of course grew up in my crafting world) would always say modgepodge, s’getti, and angurger… instead of Mod Podge, spaghetti, and hamburger… and those three words (and probably more that I’m not thinking of right now) took on a life of their own… sometimes I still say them without thinking even though I know better. Now our grandchildren are doing the same thing to us.🤦🏻♀️😂🤣. Thank you again for watching.
Linda, I am tickled that this video inspired you! If you post your napkin creations on any social media, be sure to tag me so I can admire your work. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment.🤗
Mine as well my grandpa was from the south and I have some sayings that I can’t remember not to say 😂😂😂 so sometimes they make fun of me! Oh well. I love your channel and I hope to get to use your way. Looks like the best way to get good results and easier. Thanks again
WOW!Rebecca! 💗💗Ive done a lot of decoupage- you are the first I've seen- that uses real newsprint + wax seals! I havent done that since I was a kid sending snail mail _THIS is SO awesome!! I 've added you to my YT "clips! 😍 LOVE this & you have inspired me & I have a TON of cocktail napkins & guest sized napkins & think they are better suited for card fronts & I iron my napkins to paper- it fuses them together & it feels like it was made that way..(with a cricut iron) you should try that in another video- you will LOVE the results. Can't wait to see what else you do!!❤❤
@@PaperGlueFun Its @$40. @Joanns..I promise you will be very surprised The result is: the napkin fuses to the cardstock & feels like it was made that way. I use Royal Coat (instead of M.Podge) in Bible journaling, it has a satin finish- smooth as silk.Ive done a TON of decoupage I eve do napkins on shells. .I even used the cricut to IRON a napkin to a round 8in candle & my friend asked if I MADE the candle!! You use plastic wrap & THAT becomes the glue!! You will need a cutting board- silcone mat- cardstock, plastic wrap , parchment paper & iron. THAT is the sandwich.(board protects your table or counter top) With your cardstock on the mat, lay down the napkin, cover it in plastic wrap then the parchment. The cricut is a crafters iron- has 3 temps & EVEN heating, Iron over the napkin area - like 2mins..check .maybe another minute-let it cool..remove the parchment- The plastic melts & any leftover plastic is stuck to the mat- so you lift your card & trim the excess- & Boom- you have an awesome card & then you can do it to envelops- to MATCH! what?? Yes. Ive even done this on MAILING envelopes with Christmas napkins from Dollar store..They looked like those expensive mailers that come in holiday print. You will ask yourself- WHY did I wait so long to do this? check out Joan at DIY Decoupage ua-cam.com/users/shortsRvbuIYS0ZFU?si=ntuw3jvLkl4bY3e2 & ua-cam.com/video/QRpNvT7wv3Q/v-deo.htmlsi=t0PmmSCjBaGIYcvX you can find me @DonnasCraftingWhimsey.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, I really like the gel matte, I always seem to get good results with it. (I'm not sponsored or selling it... just my humble opinion.)💜🤗
@@PaperGlueFun Not yet. So far I only wrapped a gift for a PSU college neighbor. I was able to use the PA map and marked it "You are here!" It turned out really cute. The gift was a small box made from a PSU card I had. I saw the tutorial on the Posh Paper Lady's channel (and included a $20 bill so the girl was triple thrilled.)
Just found your channel today. I enjoyed it very much and subscribed. This video is two years old. It will be fun to see what you’ve been doing since. I’ve never worked with wax. I like it.
I'm so glad you found this little channel Nancy! Welcome!! My first videos (a couple of years ago) had some sound problems (I was still learning to edit my videos to adjust the sound volume 🤦🏻♀) but hopefully you will see some improvement in my more current videos the last year or so. Thank you again for watching and I always love hearing from you.
Thanks for sharing your ideas. It was so fun watching them come together. I am looking forward to trying the golden product. I have lots of gorgeous napkins from my kids I want to try. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching Dottie. If you post pictures of your results on social media be sure to tag me ( @papergluefun ) so I can see. I love being inspired by you and would love to see what you do with those gorgeous napkins. 🤗
You are so kind Barbara, thank you. So many commenters dislike the music on this video. I was still learning how to edit videos and the music ended up a little loud… but hopefully my more current videos have better sound quality. Thank you again and welcome to the channel.🤗❤️
Thank you for watching Vasantha. I hope you do watch my more recent videos, I’ve gotten much better at sound editing and figuring out lighting, etc. Wishing you a happy week.😃
Enjoyed watching both techniques. Both cards are really interesting. I was skeptical when you started the one with newspaper, but it turned out really pretty! I'd like to try both. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Robin, I was just gifted some new napkins from a friend and I can’t wait to make some new versions of these cards with them. Thank you for watching and commenting.🤗
Regular newspaper works great for masculine cards, and I've used the comic pages for more colorful spirited cards (especially if you save all the Garfield comics then put them together for a background to give to a cat lover... so fun). Tfw.
Thank you so much! I bet you will have fun making the newspaper one. I just did a retirement card the other day for a friend and had found an article in the newspaper talking about retiring an old school bus (the school bought an electric one)… anyway, when I tore the newspaper article into pieces it worked out so well because the word “retirement” and “retired” popped up a few times and ended up looking great as a background. Let me know how it turns out for you.😃
Hi Jean! I’m happy you found me… welcome to the channel. 🤗 We have a fun group of subscribers here and love to support each other and share ideas. I think Christmas Carol paper for Christmas cards is a brilliant idea! Each card would be unique and you could probably play with the placement of certain lyrics to add even more meaning to the card! I would love to hear how your cards turn out if you decide to make some.
I appreciate your kind comment. Yes, I seem to lean towards my gel matte more often than the others, too. It always feels magical to me once it is completed.
Thank you for watching and commenting! One of the people I sent the card to kept saying, "Why is this paper so soft... it feels as good as it looks!" I thought that was cool.
Hi Rebecca!! Your cards are both beautiful. I love making collages but haven’t done it a while. Your making me want to do some sometime soon. The newspaper one is so unique. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I don't sell my cards, I give them all away, but I appreciate you thinking they are pretty enough to sell! Have a lovely weekend and thank you again for your kind comment.
I agree! Napkins turned into cards do have a lovely finish. I’ve not tried using my xyron machine for this but I can definitely see how that would work. Do you get many wrinkles in the napkin doing it that way? Do you have any tips for me when I try this?
@@PaperGlueFun hi Rebecca, I find the xyron way is easier. When you put the serviette on the sticky side of your card start from the middle and smooth out to the edges. That way you shouldn't get any wrinkles. Hope this helps. Best wishes Rosemary x
Oh sweet Dania, thank you so much for watching. I love trying all sorts of mixed media on cardstock. Some of it turns out okay and some of it ends up in the trash, but I always tell myself that it's just paper I'm throwing away and not an expensive stretched canvas. LOL
I love so many things of both these cards. That napkin is gorgeous, love the humming birds and the colors. That peony stamp used on the newspaper is beautiful! I love the idea of the twine with the wax... something I have added on my definitely to do list. We can always use original embellishments Iike this. The Gell Matte is something new to me and I love it! One thing I don’t like about the Mod Podge is the shininess, I have to add this to my cart! I’m glad you are having fun adding different music 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for all the wonderful ideas Rebecca! 😍🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awww... thank you so much my sweet friend Ana. I loved reading your kind comment. Yes, the music is fun and I hope it adds some cheer to my videos. Thank you for taking time to watch and for leaving a comment.
I have problems with wrinkles using the wet method when decoupaging. I might use Gel next time. I didn't see wrinkles in her method. Thank you for the video tutorial.
I get wrinkles when I use glue sticks, so I understand how frustrating that is. Sometimes I like the wrinkles if I want the texture, but I tend to want to keep it smooth, too, most of the time. Let me know how it goes if you use the gel.
When I separate napkin layers I use a pointed poker tool ( paper piercer) and start separating layers from the center. Preserves the edges, which are more tightly adhered than the centers.
I bet it does dry matte... I only have the gloss in my stash. I bought it waaaaay back before I knew what I was doing. 🤣 Then I started using the Golden (based on a comment left on this channel) and fell in love with it. Let me know if you do this project using the Mod Podge matte finish and how it works for you. I would be really interested in learning how it goes.
When you said the ink wouldn't stay on the one card that you did with Mod Podge, the first idea that came into my mind was: What if we'd take enough MP into a bowl of some sort, add ink from a refill bottle and mix; would that work? I love your cards, TFS, Nicole
Hmmm🤔 Now you have me thinking... I definitely will be playing with that idea. Thank you Nicole! I think I will add ink... also, I have some shimmery ink... I am going to try it with that, too! This is going to be a fun experiment. Thank you again for the idea and for watching/commenting on the video.
@@PaperGlueFun I just found you yesterday; I'm going to go watch a few other videos. I really like what you did here. I'm glad you're going to give it a try; we never know! - Nicole
Do you have a particular glue stick you like that is creamy enough that it doesn’t clump? I would love to try this! Thank you for commenting, I love learning things like this.
I am guessing you mean the black Tonic Studios Tim Holtz Deckle Torn Edge Trimmer (here is my affiliate link to it shrsl.com/4a5cz ) that I used rather than the smooth edge trimmer. I really like that deckle edge trimmer and I use it often. Thank you for watching.
I found this video today and I found it interesting. I would agree with the commentor that your music choices are very hard to be able to ckncentrate on the process.
I agree about the music Deb. I was still learning how to edit when I shared this video. Hopefully I’ve gotten better in my more recent videos. Thank you for watching and your comment.😃
Yes, I agree. I was still learning how to edit videos and so I didn't know much about how to do the music. I am a paper crafter, I can talk about paper crafting things all day long... but editing videos was a new adventure for me back then. 😂
Thank you for watching and commenting Debbie. 🤗 I make a lot of my envelopes using a punch board. Here is an affiliate link to the one I use by We R Makers… shrsl.com/4erp1 or you can buy bulk A2 envelopes at your favorite paper supply store.
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate you watching. I completely agree with you about the music. I was still learning my video editing back then and hopefully have gotten better about volume controls now (although there is still so much to learn). I have a video coming out tomorrow (my regular 3pm ET Friday video). I’ve added some music in this one… if you get a chance (and have the time) I would love to know if you see any difference in the video quality between then and now as far as audio editing. If you don’t have time, I completely understand, but since you noticed the sound in that video your perspective on this one would be helpful. Thank you again.🤗
Great video except for the extremely loud music. I had to keep my finger on the volume button because your voice sound was low so the volume was up then as the music started I had to quickly lower it.
Thank you for the constructive feedback. Back then I was still learning to edit my videos, so I hope that I have gotten better over time… I agree with you… I used to really struggle with balancing the sound/music. I hope the paper crafting technique itself inspired you to create something beautiful. I’m always a work in progress.🤣
Just wanted to mention for anyone who can afford the mod podge but not the Golden brand acrylic medium that you have gloss-finish mod podge and matte-finish gel medium which accounts for the difference you see in the finished texture (the difference in finish texture is not a difference in the product itself). You can also get matte-finish mod podge and gloss gel medium so if mod podge is what you can afford, you can still have a matte finish.
Thank you for watching Diane. Your are so right about Mod Podge… I need to watch what I say. We have a bad habit of letting the little ones in our family transform how we say things and assimilating those pronunciations into our daily speech. My son (who of course grew up in my crafting world) would always say modgepodge, s’getti, and han-gurger… instead of Mod Podge, spaghetti, and hamburger… and those three words (and probably more that I’m not thinking of right now) took on a life of their own… sometimes I still say them without thinking even though I know better. Now our grandchildren are doing the same thing to us! Thank you again for watching.
First time watching. I like the video, but the music comes on way too loud. I had to keep turning the volume down and up. I think that the music is not necessary to the enjoyment of the video. I would rather have a few seconds of silence as I watch. 😊
I agree 100% Annie. I was still learning how to edit videos back when I made this one. Hopefully, if you find some time to watch my more recent videos, you will like the sound editing better. I have learned how to share my videos of paper crafting as I go over the years and I hope that I have improved over time.🤞Thank you for your constructive comment and for watching my videos.🤗
@@JCcreates927 Thank you. I know that I was still learning to edit when I made this video, and I love adding music to my videos, but hopefully I’ve gotten better at it. Thank you for your kind comment.🤗💜
I agree 100%. I was still learning how to edit a video when I posted this one. I think I’ve gotten better over time. Hopefully you’ll watch some of my more recent videos and see improvements in my editing. Thank you for your feedback.🤗
I agree Mary, thank you for your feedback. I made this video before I understood how to edit videos very well, it was a learning process. I hope you have a moment to watch some of my current videos and let me know if you think they are an improvement.😃
I am sorry about the music. I was still learning how to edit videos back when I made that one. I believe I’ve gotten better since then about music, volume, transitions, etc. Regardless of the music I hope you were still able to glean something helpful out of the video. Thank you for your feedback.
Tamara, I am so sorry you weren’t able to get through the video. I made this back when I was learning how to edit the sound. I hope I have gotten better at sound editing since then so I invite you to watch some of my more current videos and see if you notice a difference in the sound quality. I would very much appreciate your feedback on my more recent videos should you have a moment to watch. Regardless, thank you for the feedback on this video.
@JaneSmith0709 Yes, I am sorry about that music. I created this video when I was first learning video editing but have since gotten much better at adjusting sounds, etc. You might want to check out one of my more current videos to see the difference from my videos back then to now. Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate you watching and commenting.
I love your brayer idea for for attaching the napkin

I love this tip! After reading this I popped over to my crafting table to try it and you are so right! It worked beautifully, thank you!
J'adore
Totally love this!❤️
Awesome ideas. Thank you. I have never done a napkin card think I’ll try one. Thank you for all tips. What blending brushes do you use ? Tyfs
I use some blending brushes I picked up on Amazon. I love using brushes over sponges because they blend so smooth.
Thank you for sharing
These are really really cute
My mod pudge says matt finish
Wonder if it dries matt
Again thank you 😊
I bet it does dry matte... I only have the gloss in my stash. I bought it waaaaay back before I knew what I was doing. 🤣 Then I started using the Golden (based on a comment left on this channel) and fell in love with it. Let me know if you do this project using the Mod Podge matte finish and how it works for you. I would be really interested in learning how it goes.
When you said the ink wouldn't stay on the one card that you did with Mod Podge, the first idea that came into my mind was: What if we'd take enough MP into a bowl of some sort, add ink from a refill bottle and mix; would that work? I love your cards, TFS, Nicole
Hmmm🤔 Now you have me thinking... I definitely will be playing with that idea. Thank you Nicole! I think I will add ink... also, I have some shimmery ink... I am going to try it with that, too! This is going to be a fun experiment. Thank you again for the idea and for watching/commenting on the video.
@@PaperGlueFun I just found you yesterday; I'm going to go watch a few other videos. I really like what you did here. I'm glad you're going to give it a try; we never know! - Nicole
Love your cards very much, where did you get the hummingbird napkins.
I bought them a couple of years ago… I think it was at a Tuesday Morning. Thank you for your kind words.💜🤗💜
Glue sticks work well for adhesive are easier to use than the liquids. CC
Do you have a particular glue stick you like that is creamy enough that it doesn’t clump? I would love to try this! Thank you for commenting, I love learning things like this.
Try Matte Mod Podge.
I don’t have any, but I’ll pick some up and give it a try! Thank you for the suggestion.😃
Where do they sell the golden regular gel mattttgat you keep mentioning? I use mod posgemostly and glue sticks
P.S.: Don`t you find it much easier to "cut" the napkins with a wet painting brush than with scissors?
Have you tried the laminator?
I just recently got a Pink & Main Minc Mini... do you think it would work in that?
@@PaperGlueFun It should if does lamination.
Where can I get that paper trimmer
I am guessing you mean the black Tonic Studios Tim Holtz Deckle Torn Edge Trimmer (here is my affiliate link to it shrsl.com/4a5cz ) that I used rather than the smooth edge trimmer. I really like that deckle edge trimmer and I use it often. Thank you for watching.
You are right. The music spoils it
Yes, sorry about that. My videos have only improved since I made that one. Check out some of my newer ones.😃
I found this video today and I found it interesting. I would agree with the commentor that your music choices are very hard to be able to ckncentrate on the process.
I agree about the music Deb. I was still learning how to edit when I shared this video. Hopefully I’ve gotten better in my more recent videos. Thank you for watching and your comment.😃
All pets provide emotional support
I agree with the music, maybe just keep it to one song, and a soft instrumental piece.
Yes, I agree. I was still learning how to edit videos and so I didn't know much about how to do the music. I am a paper crafter, I can talk about paper crafting things all day long... but editing videos was a new adventure for me back then. 😂
Envelopes? I didn't hear anything about where to get them.
Thank you for watching and commenting Debbie. 🤗 I make a lot of my envelopes using a punch board. Here is an affiliate link to the one I use by We R Makers… shrsl.com/4erp1 or you can buy bulk A2 envelopes at your favorite paper supply store.
😊
Great video but it would help if you lower the music
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate you watching. I completely agree with you about the music. I was still learning my video editing back then and hopefully have gotten better about volume controls now (although there is still so much to learn). I have a video coming out tomorrow (my regular 3pm ET Friday video). I’ve added some music in this one… if you get a chance (and have the time) I would love to know if you see any difference in the video quality between then and now as far as audio editing. If you don’t have time, I completely understand, but since you noticed the sound in that video your perspective on this one would be helpful. Thank you again.🤗
Great video except for the extremely loud music. I had to keep my finger on the volume button because your voice sound was low so the volume was up then as the music started I had to quickly lower it.
Thank you for the constructive feedback. Back then I was still learning to edit my videos, so I hope that I have gotten better over time… I agree with you… I used to really struggle with balancing the sound/music. I hope the paper crafting technique itself inspired you to create something beautiful. I’m always a work in progress.🤣

Just wanted to mention for anyone who can afford the mod podge but not the Golden brand acrylic medium that you have gloss-finish mod podge and matte-finish gel medium which accounts for the difference you see in the finished texture (the difference in finish texture is not a difference in the product itself). You can also get matte-finish mod podge and gloss gel medium so if mod podge is what you can afford, you can still have a matte finish.
Excellent information! Thank you for this.
MO”D” Podge
Thank you for watching Diane. Your are so right about Mod Podge… I need to watch what I say. We have a bad habit of letting the little ones in our family transform how we say things and assimilating those pronunciations into our daily speech. My son (who of course grew up in my crafting world) would always say modgepodge, s’getti, and han-gurger… instead of Mod Podge, spaghetti, and hamburger… and those three words (and probably more that I’m not thinking of right now) took on a life of their own… sometimes I still say them without thinking even though I know better. Now our grandchildren are doing the same thing to us! Thank you again for watching.
Right
First time watching. I like the video, but the music comes on way too loud. I had to keep turning the volume down and up. I think that the music is not necessary to the enjoyment of the video. I would rather have a few seconds of silence as I watch. 😊
I agree 100% Annie. I was still learning how to edit videos back when I made this one. Hopefully, if you find some time to watch my more recent videos, you will like the sound editing better. I have learned how to share my videos of paper crafting as I go over the years and I hope that I have improved over time.🤞Thank you for your constructive comment and for watching my videos.🤗
I enjoyed your video but why spoil it with the awful music slot's, if you don't want everything on the video just edit rather than music snips
Thank you for watching and for your feedback. I appreciate your comment.
I agree, hate the music. Use softer music, or NONE - sorry, you probably liked it 😢
@@PaperGlueFun I think the music made it fun.
@@JCcreates927 Thank you. I know that I was still learning to edit when I made this video, and I love adding music to my videos, but hopefully I’ve gotten better at it. Thank you for your kind comment.🤗💜
Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing.
I do like modpoge better
Music too loud.
I agree 100%. I was still learning how to edit a video when I posted this one. I think I’ve gotten better over time. Hopefully you’ll watch some of my more recent videos and see improvements in my editing. Thank you for your feedback.🤗
Music is awfully loud
The music is too loud and very disruptive!
I’m sorry… I made this a few years ago and was still learning how to edit videos. Hopefully my newer videos show some improvement.
The music way annoying
I agree Mary, thank you for your feedback. I made this video before I understood how to edit videos very well, it was a learning process. I hope you have a moment to watch some of my current videos and let me know if you think they are an improvement.😃
Awful music, not needed
I am sorry about the music. I was still learning how to edit videos back when I made that one. I believe I’ve gotten better since then about music, volume, transitions, etc. Regardless of the music I hope you were still able to glean something helpful out of the video. Thank you for your feedback.
The music snippets are way too loud and distracting. They blast so loud i quit watching.
Tamara, I am so sorry you weren’t able to get through the video. I made this back when I was learning how to edit the sound. I hope I have gotten better at sound editing since then so I invite you to watch some of my more current videos and see if you notice a difference in the sound quality. I would very much appreciate your feedback on my more recent videos should you have a moment to watch. Regardless, thank you for the feedback on this video.
Love your content and wanted to subscribe, but my nervous system can't handle that awful music.
@JaneSmith0709 Yes, I am sorry about that music. I created this video when I was first learning video editing but have since gotten much better at adjusting sounds, etc. You might want to check out one of my more current videos to see the difference from my videos back then to now. Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@PaperGlueFun That's great, thank you for informing me. I'll definitely check out your more recent videos.
