Thank you so much!

I love them, I have a box with 8 packs of napkins, that certainly looks like the easiest way to put the napkin on the card. I like the idea of the clear embossing powder, It adds oomph to the card. Ruth down under.

[@ToniStamps]

Hi Ruth down under! :). Thanks so much! 8 packs of napkins is a lot of napkins! You could definitely use some to make some cards!

[@PNWgirl921]

Wow! The embossing takes it to a whole new level!

[@ToniStamps]

Thank you so much! I agree - sparkly or clear, looks great with either!

Hi from Lancaster, PA. ❤️ this card. I have made napkin cards from dinosaur 🦕, 🌹 and 💐. I also made children's cards from Christmas paper. Great fun. I like your tip to use embossing powder. Thanks.🤗❤️🤗

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video Dolores! Great idea to use Christmas paper. That's a great way to coordinate the card with the gift. Thank you for that suggestion!

Thanks so much Grace! I'm appreciate your feedback. There are definitely a LOT of good ideas out there!

[@maryzimmerman5681]

Love making napkin cards. I leave a little extra around the edges so I make sure the embossing goes all the way to the edge. This also gives you something to hold onto while you are putting your versa mark on as well as the glitter. Love your card. Thank you for sharing.

[@ToniStamps]

That's such a great idea Mary! Do you trim the extra off when you're ready to mount it, or wrap the extras around to the back? Really a good idea - I do have a hard time holding on to it.

[@maryzimmerman5681]

@@ToniStamps I like to fold it back onto the back side, it seems to give your card a more completed finish look, to me.

Thank you!!! Using adhesive sheets was soooo much easier than using glue.

[@debityger4458]

I remember years ago we adhered the napkin to the card stock by placing a piece of wax paper in between and ironing it

[@ToniStamps]

Neat Debi! That's one I haven't heard of yet. I've heard of using plastic wrap, but not wax paper. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@debityger4458]

@@ToniStamps maybe I better try that because plastic wrap sounds good too. Be sure to take an old iron in case you get too close to the edge

[@ToniStamps]

I would definitely use some parchment paper, just in case. I know myself, and I'd wreck something.

Thank you for showing me how to do it. Awesome!

[@ToniStamps]

[@pamelapruett7833]

I will use this technique at my next class. It is so less messy than mod podge or ironing on saran wrap!!! Thx so much

[@ToniStamps]

That's awesome! I agree on the mod podge, although I may try a glue stick in the future myself. Ironing...too much trouble in my book. :)

[@snc2010]

Lovely napkin cards

[@ToniStamps]

Thank you Sheila! I have something in the works using more napkins, coming up in the next month!

[@karicoleman3548]

Beautiful! Ironing them on works great too.

[@ToniStamps]

Thanks Kari! How long do you have to hold your iron on? I've been leery of trying that method. : (

[@karicoleman3548]

@@ToniStamps I know it seems really weird. By placing the safety layer of parchment paper over the top, I keep the iron moving around and gliding over the top. Takes a couple of minutes. I’ve done the iron over glue and iron over plastic wrap methods and they both worked a dream. Best part, no wrinkles.

[@ToniStamps]

@@karicoleman3548 I'm definitely interested in trying this. Another friend swears by the plastic wrap method as well. I'll try it!

[@nhw8906]

Beautiful Video. Thank you for sharing. Could you kindly let me know what is dimensional that you have mentioned to use instead of glue? I’ve heard it mentioned quite often but I don’t understand what it is. Thank You ✌️❤️👏

[@ToniStamps]

Thank you N HW! The dimensionals are Stampin' Dimensionals. They are little foam dots with adhesive on both sides. We use them to pop/raise things up - give them more dimension. Stampin' Dimensionals is a Stampin' Up specific product, but foam tape serves the same purpose. You could cut foam tape into little pieces to get the same result.

Beautiful card. What is the glue used?

Thank you Victoria. I used Adhesive Sheets from Stampin' Up. They are still available. Sizzix makes them as well.

[@jjzjewelry]

Wondering about the sides of napkins and how they have a border with little holes, does that show up on the cards?? Thank you!

[@ToniStamps]

Hi Johanne, I don't think any of the napkins that I have, had any holes in the border. Some have raised up dots, that I think is what helps hold the plys together. Maybe those look like holes? Regardless - I think if there were holes, you will see whatever color cardstock you mount your napkin on through the holes. If you wrap the sides of your napkins around your cardstock layer, then it hides anything like that. I feel like I might not be understanding correctly...so let me know if that helps. Thank you!

[@jennifertappan3823]

whats the sticky paper called? I want to order some!

[@ToniStamps]

HI Jennifer, the sticky paper is called Adhesive Sheets. Here is a links: www.stampinup.com/products/adhesive-sheets

[@elaineboyer7632]

Do you need a special heat gun for embossing a card?

[@ToniStamps]

Hi Elaine! I’m sure any heat gun that says it’s good for embossing will do. The first one I ever had was by Marvy, and I got it at Michael’s or Joann’s. I think Tim Holtz has two different heat tools - one looks like a mini hair dryer and is not ideal for embossing. It will work, but it takes longer. I’ve had the heat tool from Stampin’ Up for probably 20 years now.

[@giuliettawebber6772]

Where do u write on the cards? Do you mount them on white card?

[@ToniStamps]

Hi there! Yes, when I've got a colored card base (which is most of the time), I always add white or vanilla to the inside so I can write my message. Thank you for the question!

[@marymansfield4744]

Hi plz can you tell me what call this versa pad

[@ToniStamps]

Hi there! It's called a Versamark Watermark ink pad, and is widely available. Stampin' Up carries them, along with just about every major craft store (online or in store), and even Amazon. It's a very useful ink pad, and worth having in your stash.
