Oh I do love that Stamperia Rice paper, I have the 12" x 12" pad as I just love Alice in Wonderland.... I seem to recall someone sending me some napkins in HM ha ha 😂😂🤔🤔💖💖🌼

[@rosem3577]

Just this past weekend I found two sets of playing cards from 1935. I’ve been jotting ideas down. Your project will definitely be added! These are so very sweet Nina!! ❤️

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Hello Rose, how fun to have a couple of vintage sets to play with. Happy Creating ❤️

[@SK-ki1te]

Love the tag fabric off to the side instead of boring center!

I'm absolutely thrilled that I found your channel. You have so many interesting and easy to do projects. I can't wait to get started on the napkin covered playing cards. Good tip for gluing three cards together, thanks. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with all us paper crafters. God bless you 💖 judyfromGA

Love this idea!

[@cty5498]

Hi!! So across the pond in the states, Poker cards are 2.5" x 3.5 and only Bridge cards are 2.25 x 3.5" > ATC and Playing cards are my obsession!

[@loriericks3243]

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your kind words Lorie 💕

I adore minis!!! Looking forward to this month Nina🦋🌺❤

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Laura. Happy Creating 💕

[@glasslyn]

Love this idea. They are too cute!

[@julesiou12]

Until watching this I couldn't understand the whole altered playing cards, but these are gorgeous! So inspiring Nina x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much. I think it’s fun to leave a glimpse of the card showing so you can tell it’s a playing card and not an ATC. It’s just fun to work on something small and they are great to trade too 💕

[@scottmantooth8785]

*i can confirm that once you start down this particular rabbit hole it becomes a serious addiction of sorts but in a good way...you will start noticing things that might be discarded that can be incorporated into a piece...maybe not right away but you'll start assembling things in your mind and what groups of images go together...here's a tip get a nice archival(ish) box and envelops and start your own collection of images...also remember to use neutral ph adhesive when putting things together...no glue sticks unless you're not interested in producing archival work to sell...i also use a gold paint pen to guild the edges of my cards...more of a personal aesthetic and subtle but it's nice when someone else notices...also a good idea to use a workable fixative or other protective/archival spray coating on the front and back of the cards...i then further protect them by placing them in individual card sleeves...yes, all this can get expensive if done all at once so i advise obtaining supplies slowly over time until you feel ready to have a go at this...*

[@tobiyanda810]

Bless you for deli info.xx

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Nina, I really really enjoyed watching you create these ATC’s. They are really really stunning and gorgeous too. And there’s nothing whatsoever simple about them. You have to have the idea, and then pull it off, which is what you’ve done. I was glad when you cut the sari silk down. Perfect Nina. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for your kind words Mags, you are always so supportive and encouraging and I really do appreciate it. Have a wonderful week 💕 xxxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 💕

[@ingridf3490]

Lovely cards :-) I like making small projects and altered playing cards/ATCs. My playingcards are coated with something (plasic?) so I find the glue or gesso fastens better if I sand them down slightly

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Ingrid, I always used to sand mine down too, but I haven’t bothered with the last few and they’ve stuck just fine. Perhaps it is the cards I’m using 💕

[@ZsuzsaKarolySmith]

Love the addition of the little charms!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you. They look cute don’t they 💕

Thanks so much Purple Fairy 💕

[@scottmantooth8785]

*i've done altered playing cards and artist trading/collage cards for over a decade at this point but have been actively doing collage since high school (yeah, i'm old) currently assembling around 80 art cards simultaneously or at least the base/foundational layer of the cards since i let the individual cards dictate what direction they want to go so the themes of each develop very organically...cards can develop very quickly or take months depending on what i find*

[@debbieangelstar]

So lovely. Those Alice charms add the perfect finishing touch 💕💫

So much fun to see how differently you and Kylie approach the same project. Your cards turned out great! Thanks for being an inspiration.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Ellie. We have such different styles and I love that aspect. We never discuss what we are going to create and that adds to the element of surprise for you and for us too. I’m sure one day we’ll end up doing something similar haha. Happy Creating 💕

Hi Nina!
Thanks for the link to the sari silk.
Simple? You are so funny! Your altered cards are amazing. I never knew that you left the faces showing through. I like that much better than covering them completely.
Cheers!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Awww, thanks Shala. You don’t have to leave the card showing through, but I just like to see that glimpse of the card underneath 💕

Thanks so much Evelyn. I’m really looking forward to this month too. Mini projects was something that was requested when we asked the group last year.

Love these, Nina. I have that very same tissue paper in my stash somewhere. Time to dig it out. Hope you all are well, and enjoying some Spring weather.

Thanks Eugene, all is well here. We’ve enjoyed some wonderful Spring days, but winter has returned on and off as well and we had snow a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday was glorious, but torrential rain forecast today. Oh well, the garden needs it. Hope all is well with you and Mark as well. Happy Creating 💕
