Paper Napkin Transfer Card

I have always wanted to try the Napkin transfer technique.

I had an extra day off from school today, and I was given a package of paper napkins.

So it seemed like a good time to try the transfer.

This technique is a great way to get a cool 

back ground on your card or scrapbook page, without spending any money.

Supplies needed are:

Printed paper napkin

Scissors

ironing board or towel

Iron

 (I started with my mini Iron, but decided I needed my full size iron)

 two sheets of unprinted paper

plastic wrap, brand doesn't matter.

Card stock, cut to size you need

My card stock was cut at 4 x 5 1/4 inches.

Just to enough to fit the front of an A2 card.

After you have all your supplies, take one napkin and peel away all the layers.

There are 3 layers to the decorated paper napkins.

You want the printed piece only.

Next, Layer all pieces as shown below:

Towel/iron board

Sheet of unprinted paper

Your precut card stock

one sheet of plastic wrap to cover your precut card stock

Situate your napkin over plastic wrap

Then lay down another piece of unprinted paper

Everything should be sandwiched, nice and neat.

Start ironing on the top, unprinted sheet.

I ironed for about 30 seconds, then started lifting layers to see if the napkin is sticking to the card stock. I kept ironing in places that were not sticking well.

Once I was sure the napkin was sticking to the card stock, I started peeling everything apart.

This is a little messy. Be careful not to peel the napkin from the card stock.

Trim the napkin around the card stock.

And its ready to use.

It has a nice soft feel to it. Like fabric.

And the possibilities are as endless as there are Napkins!!!

Also on this card I used Stampin Up's 

Falling Flowers and Rose Wonder stamp sets

and, Rose Garden and May Flowers Framelits Dies.

Note: Be careful not to melt the plastic wrap to your iron. ;)

Happy Stamping!!!

Just for Fun!

Spending time in my room today, while it once again snows.

Yuk!!

 

I wanted to try making a mini scrapbook using some

extra pockets and pages left over from previous projects.

I can't remember where I found the tutorial for the pocket pages.

But this post is more about using scraps, leftovers and UFO's (UnFinished objects)

Sooooo........

This project turned out to be a mod-podge.

I picked up a paper pack at a rummage sale,

 to create a beautiful scrapbook for a Christmas gift.

After creating the Christmas gift, I ended up with one, double sided pocket page.

Which I used in the center of my scrapbook.

I created two more pockets, using scrap papers, and added one to the front and back (inside) covers.

Also using scraps I created front and back covers.

Which gave me a four pocket mini scrapbook.

 

 

I love my Stampin Up stamps,

and find myself using them, regardless of the project I'm working on.

Using the Petite Petals Bundle (134822), the Flower Shop Bundle  (132726),

and Perfect Pennants stamp set (133227)

I created this cute cover.....

 

 

I liked the placement of the flowers so much,

so I dug in my scrap box and found an odd sized card (probably one I cut wrong)

And decided to make a matching card.

 

I couldn't stop there.

I decided this was such a cute design, that I created one for my stamping friends.

At May's class we will make this card, with the bright spring colors!!!!

 

I am having way too much fun with these stamps!

 

Happy Stamping!
