Paper Napkin Background


I recently read a tutorial about making background paper with paper napkins and cling wrap.  Shortly after that one of my friends brought a snack to my house accompanied by these colorful napkins.  I just had to give the technique a try!  I think they came out pretty good!  For this card I used a 4 x 4 piece of Whisper White card stock.  I put a small piece of cling wrap over that, with the pretty paper napkin on top.  Cover with a piece of scrap and press it with a medium iron.  The cling wrap melts and holds the layers together.  Then I trimmed the excess about 1/2 inch from the Whisper White, added some snail adhesive and wrapped the excess to the back side!  Background done!

Amazing Friend




This card is a total Catalog Case of the card on page 117 in the new SU catalog.  I used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get all the individual stamps to line up just right. This uses 3 stamps from Amazing Family and also the large stamp from Layered Labels. I used Versamark and clear embossing powder for the background stamp.  I just noticed my poor green butterfly is trying to escape! I hope you like my card!
