QUESTION Hi Judy. I stumbled onto your video, stayed, watched and have become your newest subscriber. I was wondering if it is necessary to separate the layers since you are usimg a paper towel, dampening the lot and embossing? Thanks so much. 🤐🇨🇦
Hi Brendaelaine, thank you for subscribing. I found that the layers stayed together much better when separated and put back together. I do not know why, but it made the bond more secure for some reason.
These particular napkins are no longer available. I go them from a business in Australia called La La Land. If you are in Australia I do have some extra's I am selling on Facebook Market Place. Just message me on FB and let me know how many you want.
I've made cards with napkins but always used spray glue. I'll give this technique a go as the smell of that glue would suffocate me if I used it too much.
I made it big enough to get most of the design from the napkin. Depending on the size of the napkin you have, will depend on the card size. It is a square card though. Also consider what size border you want around the edge and if you want another layer between the napkin and the card showing through. I think mine was about 6 x 6 as the design was quite large. I have given it away now so do not have it to measure Charlene.
The measurements depend on the size of the design on the napkin Kathy that you want to use. If the napkin design is 4 1/2" (11.5cm) square them the pink section will be 4 3/4" (12cm) square and the card front will be 5" (12.5cm) square which makes the card 5" x 10" (12.5cm x 25cm) when open. I just add 1/4" (.5cm) as I go up or down a layer.
Hi! So glad I found your channel tonight. Loved your video. Waving hi from across the ditch, Sandra in NZ 👋
Hello there Sandra!
Thank you! Bought some lovely European napkins for card making!
Wonderful!

Thank you! 😊
I love using napkins. I like your method of making the card also. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
LOVE the napkins, especially the Kuala and Kangaroo paper! My daughter lives in Brisbane, will tell her to look out for them.
I got it online from lalalandshop.com.au but I am not sure that design is still available. Good Luck.

Where get napkins from love them
These particular napkins are no longer available. I go them from a business in Australia called La La Land. If you are in Australia I do have some extra's I am selling on Facebook Market Place. Just message me on FB and let me know how many you want.
Do they come apart with time? Like others said, I’ve always used glue/modge Podge. I’d be worried they would come apart later on. ❤️🇦🇺
I only came across this method at then end of last year so my cards have held together so far. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I've made cards with napkins but always used spray glue. I'll give this technique a go as the smell of that glue would suffocate me if I used it too much.
Hope you find this method useful to you. I hate the smell of strong glues and paints so I try to avoid them as much as possible.
Can you not just leave the napkin plies together, add the paper towel to the back, then spray it and emboss it?
Try both and let me know what you think. I felt they bonded better if they were separated first.
Such a great idea!! Yes, which shop did you find the napkins in??

What are the dimensions of your card? 4x4? American measurements please.

@@judywest-thepaintingnana9434 Thank you for answering. Your comment make sense.
Could you give measurements
The measurements depend on the size of the design on the napkin Kathy that you want to use. If the napkin design is 4 1/2" (11.5cm) square them the pink section will be 4 3/4" (12cm) square and the card front will be 5" (12.5cm) square which makes the card 5" x 10" (12.5cm x 25cm) when open. I just add 1/4" (.5cm) as I go up or down a layer.
