I did learn a great technique from the shopping network demonstrator. I used to do quite a bit of napkin cards, however, separating the layers of paper was a pain in the.....drain. She made two little tape handles out of blue removable painter's tape stuck one to the front of the napkin and one to the back and she pulled. Guess what, this really really works. I couldn't believe how easy it was.
Be sure to check out what Julia's been up too, and check out all the creative folks that have linked through her blog. If you haven't played yet....what are you waiting for....I've met some super creative people there and I've gotten some great ideas from Julia's followers.
I'm off....got to get my beauty sleep. Have a great week.
Hugs to all,

LOVE napkins! Just used some very similar to this one as backgrounds for a shabby chic sewing configurations box. Worked fabulously well, just like your card! Trish #64

ReplyDeleteIsn't it such fun when we can make something crafty with the things that we already have on hand? Your glittered napkin looks lovely and would make a beautiful card!

That is such a pretty card, I must have a look to se what napkins I have in the sideboard, as well as digging out all the old doilies. I bet you got you cupboard under the sink clean and tidy in record time, to allow yourself to get back to crafting. My job for today was to plant up the plug plants and the bare rooted plants that arrived yesterday. Then I was allowed to craft. Bargains like that are very stimulating. I actually enjoyed doing both which was a bonus. Have a good week, tidying and crafting. xx Maggie #8
ReplyDeleteGreat desk...thanks for passing on the tip about separating the paper napkin! It's on of those now why did I never think of that moments ;)
