More Thanksgiving Napkin Cards

Several days ago in a blog post, I talked about using napkins with plastic coated freezer paper to make cards.  Today I have 5 more cards that I made using this technique.  

This first card (inside & out) was made from one square of a very large napkin (1/4 of the napkin) that had been adhered to the freezer paper, cut to size, and matted on dark green glimmer paper.  The greeting was cut from using a die from "Script Greetings" (Paper Artist - HOTP).  I cut it twice.  Once from the glimmer paper and once from an adhesive backed foam sheet in a similar color.  I glued the glimmer paper to the foam using an adhesive pen and then adhered it to the card front as you see here.  

The inside was simply the "leftover" from the original square, once again, matted on the green glimmer paper.


Next up is a turkey card:
In this case, the turkeys were in the center of the card with a border around them.  I cut a piece that had the turkey for the top part of my card & a piece of the border for the bottom.  After inking the edges of each & gluing in place, I added a ribbon between them & an outline sticker greeting. Sticker rings embellish the top right corner.

The inside was similar - a piece of the turkey paper inked & matted on brown with the "innies" from the sticker rings in the lower right corner.

This next card uses border strips from a napkin - with a piece of brown rick-rack to cover the join.  The stamped sentiment & acorn is from JustRite's Antique Autumn Tags One

Inside is just more of the border print.

Next up is an all-over napkin pattern (with pieced borders).  The pumpkin was glued to cardstock & then fussy cut & raised with foam squares.   The tag was stamped with a stamp from JustRite's Antique Autumn Tags One.

Once again, inside is more of the same.

This one starts with an embossed background embossed with Spellbinders "Framed Petite Labels Embossabilities" folder (brown glimmer paper).  Turkey square is from a napkin.  Greeting is an outline sticker.  Striped ribbon from my stash.

Inside is more of the brown embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug).
