If you've been reading my blog, you've seen several Thanksgiving cards made with napkins. Today I've got some Christmas cards made with napkins (using the freezer paper technique detailed here). For this first card, I fussy cut the poinsettia from the napkin - then mounted it on a white card stock mat (so I could attach it with foam tape). The background is embossed glimmer paper, the ribbon is from my stash, and the greeting is from the Hunkydory Essential Book of Christmas Greetings. Here's the inside:
The inside uses more of the embossed background, ribbon, and another greeting from the Essential book. I also added some punched ferns (Martha Stewart punch) & red Jewel Dazzles.
The greeting focal on this second card is a napkin - red embossed mat with ribbon from my stash & metal snowflake from my stash.
This last card started with my making a mistake - I put the napkin wrong side up when I adhered it to the freezer paper! This meant that I couldn't use the whole square because it had words that were now mirror imaged! So, I cut the napkin mice out much smaller than intended & glued it to a die cut/embossed mat (Spellbinder's die). The background is also embossed & has a ribbon from my stash. I finished off the front with a Tim Holtz die - cut once from white glimmer paper & once from white adhesive backed fun foam to give it nice dimension. I used another napkin - adhered to the freezer paper the right way so I could use the whole square - for the inside:
