napkin cards

  

After seeing a lot of posts about napkin cards in some of the Facebook groups I'm in, I decided to try them out for myself. There are several tutorials on YouTube and from what I found, three options to choose from. I tried them all, starting with the simplest - a glue stick. This was messy and ineffective. Next up was double sided tape. This method made the napkin buckle and bubble up. Using cling wrap with an iron was the most effort, but it rewarded the best results so was the option I used going forward. Over the past two weeks I made these Thanksgiving, birthday and thinking of you cards. They turned out well, especially considering I'm still not back in the swing of creating cards again. Oh, and I learned that as much as I enjoyed listening to an audiobook while crafting last Sunday, it slowed me down quite a bit. I kept having to rewind the book when I realized I was too focused on what I was crafting to pay attention to the story. No more of that. I'm back to listening to music while crafting. 𝄞𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮

October birthday cards


I made it into the craft room to make cards a couple times last month, grabbing this photo before a couple of them were placed in the mail. The top two were made specifically for friends' birthdays and the bottom two have been added to my stash so I always have something on hand. This afternoon will be my first time making napkin cards, having watched 2-3 YouTube videos this morning. I'll post photos at some point...
