[@aprilcarter749]

Just scrolling and seen your channel. Great ideal for index cards, I’ve purchased so many and never used them alone with beautiful napkins. They will get used now !! Thanks for sharing ❤. It’s very cold 🥶 in Columbus. Ohio.

@aprilcarter749 wonderful! Thank you so much😊 stay warm my friend 🧡

[@patriciadistefano7467]

Love the stamping under the napkins. Awesome! All turned out so beautiful! Great writing spots.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@patriciadistefano7467 I agree! I think that's what sets it off. Thank you so much😊❤️🤎

Hi Christy. I love how these came out. The stamping/stenciling underneath really adds some great depth to them. They are just gorgeous. I can see that I really need to get my index cards and napkins out and create! Thank you.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@barbarawafer94 thank you! It's addictive for me😊❤️

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Oooooh, try the water brush technique that I've seen ladies use to make a rough edge. Ooooooooh, the second piece of napkin would be great to stamp on using the print marks for borders. ❤Wendy

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@wendymontgomery9837 water brush technique?? I'm not familiar with that, do tell.😊

[@laurabrown7912]

@@CraftedByChristyShop Hello Christy, I just found your channel and I love what you have done with the index cards! I think that the brush technique that wendymontgomery mentions is to use a paint brush dipped in water and outline your image with water. It allows you to be able to gently tear the napkin away, where ever you have applied the water. No need for scissors or exacto knives. Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@laurabrown7912 oh, yes,,I didn't realize that's what she was meaning. I will do that. Thank you for clarifying 🙏 😊💖you're very sweet

[@FrankieE61]

I ran into your notebook video using the index cards you made. I had to look up and watch this video on how you made your index cards. I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and thank you for the inspiration! TFS XXX😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@FrankieE61 thank you so much! You're so kind, and I'm glad it inspired you. I love that!😊💖

[@rkug777]

I used to live in MI for 20 yrs and moved to Northern GA 4.5 yrs ago. We have enough seasons without snow and I’m enjoying the weather… it’s 50s (lower at night) but soon going back to upper 50s here. Used to live in Canada before MI, so I don’t miss snow yet 😊

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Oh wow, so you've had your belly full, for awhile! We don't get that much snow anymore, not like when I was a kid. Now, it's just mainly ice. Thank you for sharing!😊❤️

[@katrina6276]

[@joannefrers9032]

Christy these cards, tuck spots, etc are gorgeous! I love the layering of stamps and napkins on index cards. So creative. I am definitely trying this!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@joannefrers9032 awesome, thank you! You'll have to show me pics of your things😊❤️

[@juliemarie1116]

I love the coffee ring and with the green.... LOL. My son use to put all kind of things down in the heater vent... he put a penny frog in there..we recused it***

Beautiful index cards & the different ways you created. I just ordered some napkins.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

[@carolm9451]

I just sat here and laughed Christy, as you said, "I'm not gonna worry about that, not sure I'm worried enough to fix that"... while the whole time, you were fixing it... 😂🤣😂 They all turned out awesome, especially love the idea of embossing the edge of the paper then adding it.💜💜💜

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@carolm9451 😆 I'm glad it made you laugh. I love that. Thank you😊

[@juliemarie1116]

I love these napkins. Great way to use these with index cards...our weather is 'to nice' for being winter. BRING ON THE SNOW* I have bought several napkins from the dollar store and the prettiest from TJ MAX. IVE BEEN USING THEM ON MATCH BOOKS. THEY MAKE A SWEET GIFT ALONG WITH A CANDAL..... THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FUN IDEAS. LOVE FROM IDAHO, Julie*

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@juliemarie1116 yes!! Matchboooks would be great. Thank you, that's an awesome idea. 😊

[@sandrasegrera4792]

Thank you for sharing! It’s 55° here in Miami Beach Florida .. it’s just for a couple of days then go back to 77° -85° . To be honest I miss the snow and super cold weather! ❤

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@sandrasegrera4792 thank you! I love Florida, and thought I wanted to live there, but as I get older, I appreciate the seasons here more. I look forward to spring, fall, and yes, even winter 😆 it is beautiful. The white snow, and yesterday a cardinal landed on my fence. It was so bright red. Looked like a picture 📸 ❤️

[@cathsaxe4931]

Love your giggle ~ I have never worked with napkins before~thank you for all the tips ~ I love (and would never have thought to) do the stamping and stenciling underneath~love hearing about Navy's antics too ~ such a smile

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@cathsaxe4931 thank you Cath! He's such a toot! He has the best smile, and gives the best hugs ever, but he is rotten! 😆 ❤️

[@sisfidy58]

Where did you find these napkins-- the first one?!?! I've never seen anything like them, and would snap some up in a HEARTBEAT!! What a great idea. Thanks to KZbin for popping you up!!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@sisfidy58 that is my favorite! I purchased from an online auction, only 2. I have no idea where she got them. Matter of fact, I believe everything used in this video was purchased from ladies online throughout the year. Thank you so much😊❤️

[@roseanndeighan5872]

Hi Christy, Wonderful index card makes!! TFS I am in Ohio it is 10 degrees real feel and light snow with 3" inches in the last 24 hours. Be well and Peace in 2025

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@roseanndeighan5872 good morning to you!! We have warmed up to a solid 18 degrees here now 😆 I don't think we're supposed to get any more snow until Thursday. Be safe, and stay warm🤎

[@judithjones6781]

Good morning. Great idea using stamping with the napkins. Thanks for sharing. Happy creating.

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@judithjones6781 happy creating Judith!! Thank you😊❤️

[@jjournaldiva]

I just did a bunch of index cards... I wish I'd seen these before. Now I will do some like this for sure!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@jjournaldiva so many ways to use them, but I forget about them. Thank you😚❤️

[@sharonharris2515]

Here in S Jersey it is very cold with snow that won’t melt for a while ✝️❄️

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@sharonharris2515 oh goodness. It's 14 here today, but feels like 2, with wind. Luckily, it usually doesn't hang around long here. Stay warm, my friend 🧡

[@HeavenlyTreasures7]

New sub…came across you and am enjoying your content. Love this tutorial and can’t wait to use up some of my index cards(many colors) and scraps for ephemera. TYFS! 💜

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@HeavenlyTreasures7 oh, I'm so glad you're here! Thank you😊❤️

[@belindazimmer2107]

Hi Christy! Oh my that first napkin with the Victorian lady and the black, brown, cream colors is absolutely gorgeous!! I will be on the lookout for that pattern for sure. You made some beautiful cards and flips and everything. The long embossing folder is super pretty used with the lace on the bottom and what a clever idea to change it up a bit…ooh also loved the stamping and stenciling behind the patterns too. You’re such a clever gal! You mentioned bad weather and if I may ask what state do you live in? I’m originally from Ohio and don’t miss the snow and cold at all. I’ve been south in Alabama and now for the last 18 years in very warm sunny Texas and I love it here. Thanks for the inspiration and happy crafting 😊!

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Thank you so much! I live in Missouri.i do love Alabama. 😊💖

[@christinegray6846]

Gorgeous napkin! (The first one). Do you know where you got it?

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Thank you! That is my favorite one too. I don't know where it came from. I purchased it from an on-line auction, and I only got 2 for a dollar. A lady was destashing, and she didn't say where she got it. I'm sorry.

[@customercustomer3634]

Where did you get that napk?

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

It came from an online sale and I don't know where she got it. She was doing a destash. I'm sorry 😞
