Creative Impressions - Napkin Art

Seems like I see pretty napkins everywhere I go lately.  My friends are all on notice that I'm likely to steal one or two!

This spring card was made with a coneflower napkin and made even prettier with just a touch of Creative Impressions embellishments.  I just love these sweet little butterfly brads!

I started with this napkin.  I made 4 cards from one napkin.  Peel away the two white layers and use only the layer with ink.  Brush matte medium on your card stock panel and either cut away the excess or fold and glue it to the back.  I carefully brush another thin layer of matte medium on the front of the card.

Are they sweet?  These are white with a touch of glitter.  You can ink them too!

I used one of the white peel away layers and glued over the chipboard words.  It unifies the texture over the whole piece.  Its such a thin layer that when you glue it on, the black letters power through.

Collect some napkins and Creative Impressions embellishments and use your wings!

Important Note:

If you warn your friends that you'll be stealing napkins and they respond with a smile, 

it's not really stealing.  Jus' sayin'..........

Birthday Greeting from Creative Impressions

Hello everyone!  I need to send a ton of birthday cards in April and May, so I have been busy creating cards lately!  Today I would like to share one of my favorites with you!

I used a library pocket and a tag for this card.  I created a lovely flower using  Creative Impressions Tropical (60700) and Iridescent (61200) Blossoms,  Leaves (60802), Round Paper Fastener (90672) and 1/2" Dot Ribbon (70430) as well as a Polka Dot stamp from B Line Designs.  Here are a few more photos:

I started by stamping the polka dots with aqua dye ink to match the ribbon and blossoms.  I then covered the library pocket with paper and adhered it to the card a bit below center in order to leave space for the tag.  I attached my flower and fastened it to the card front, catching a length of Dot Ribbon behind it.

All that was left to do was to cover a tag with paper, adhere a greeting along with a small length of Dot Ribbon and insert the tag into the pocket.  Done!

Hope you like this birthday greeting!
