Paris Napkin Birthday Cards
After discovering how to create “card stock” with napkins which can be used to create beautiful cards, I now find I am always looking for “great” napkins when I’m out and about!
The napkin used to create the card front above was so pretty and had so much going on that I felt like it didn’t need much of anything else. For this 5″ x 7″ card, I added a greeting on a matted die cut panel, a faux ribbon (ok- a strip of paper – lol), and a mat.
Click here to see how I created the napkin panel for my card. (My technique was adapted from the instructions here in Karen’s video where I changed up a few things I was having trouble with.)

Flower and Frame Birthday Card
(inside: Wishing you all the best today and throughout the coming year)
This card features dies that I’ve had in my collection for quite some time. They are all by Spellbinders and are from the following sets: “A2 Filigree Delight” (S5-177), “Spiral Blossom One” (S4-351), “Floral Ovals” (S4-356), and “Foliage” (S4-328).
The patterned paper used for the blossom and background is digital paper from a set called “A4 Fruit Harvest” (no longer available?) from a shop called “vintagebyme” on Etsy. Gina K Ivory and Dark Sage card stock was also used.
The greeting is from the “Birthday Greetings Stamp Set” from Recollections/Michaels and was stamped (and sponged) with Dark Sage ink. The inside sentiment is from the “Happy Birthday to You” set from Gina K Designs.

Eclipse Thank You Card (and a few other samples)
To do the eclipse technique, die cut shape(s) are cut out of the decorated or printed panel and reattached after being layered/raised up so you have a continuous pattern across the whole card. I smooshed the background with ink and water and then partially stenciled a pattern which was darker/complete in the upper left corner and “trailed off” as I moved towards the lower right. The pattern on the portion of the card where I die cut my “thanks” is subtle, but you can see how the drops and splotches of color continue onto the raised letters. (I cut and layered four plain white die cuts under the patterned one to raise it up. You could also use a piece of fun foam.)
For the next two cards, I used patterned paper.
Both of these panels were made from different parts of a sheet of “Thoreau Flowers” (#505802) paper by Recollections. The “In A Word: Thanks Cutaway” die (#WW031CA) from Winnie & Walter is perfect for this technique. The butterfly die was unbranded.

Tea Bag Fold Birthday Card
I was recently asked if there were ways to use the tea bag fold panels for a design other than for a Christmas tree, and this is one variation I came up with.
Paper used on this card is Snowflake Mix (#712257), Wooden Fence (#154484), and Textured Cream Sheet Music (#142950) which are all by The Paper Studio. The card base is Recollections heavy weight ivory. The greeting is a stamp from the “Banners” set from Joy! Crafts. Last year, I made a holiday card using the same papers.
