I made this card for TLC192 - Paper Napkin Transfer. Here is what you need for this technique: Decorative Napkin, Freezer Paper (the white stuff with a waxy coating on the backside), Iron, A piece of scratch or copy paper, Other card stock and supplies you would like to complete your project.
First start by unfolding your napkin and if it is a multi-ply napkin, carefully pull the layers apart so that you only have the top decorative layer for your project. Then, Cut a piece of freezer paper a little larger than your napkin (about 1/2 to 3/4"). Heat your iron while you first lay your freezer paper, shiny side up, on your ironing board. Next, lay your decorative napkin (pretty side up) onto your freezer paper, then lay your copy paper on top of your napkin. Heat with your iron (set on medium - no steam) for about 15 to 30 seconds, moving your iron over the copy paper, applying gentle pressure until your napkin is adhered to your freezer paper. Now just apply your pretty napkin to your card stock, (just like you would if you were using patterned paper) and complete your project as desired.
What a great way to use some of the pretty napkins you are saving, but you just don't know what to do with them. The napkin I used is on the bottom strip of this card with the pretty gold detailing. It was from my friend's wedding reception we held in our backyard a few years ago...they were just way to pretty to toss, and also way to pretty to use as just a napkin! I thought it would go perfectly with the tree from SU's Snow Swirled set. I just stamped the sentiment and tree with Encore Gold ink. Then I inked the edges of the card base, the tree and the sentiment with some more gold ink (using the direct to paper method). Finally, I added some sheer gold ribbon and antique gold photo turn mounts.
