Thanks for joining me in the craft room. Today’s technique has been around for years. You can find many videos on Youtube about it. The technique is called Paper Napkin Transfer. This technique is used in card making, junk books, and scrapbook. It gives the paper a texture like fabric. Let’s get to doing this technique. The following are the materials you need.

Materials:

Napkin

Iron

Plastic wrap

Cover for your table

Copy paper or parchment paper

Card stock

Steps:

1.  Take the backing off the napkin.
2. Cut a piece of plastic wrap that is bigger than your card stock.
3. Cut a piece of card stock that is 4′ by 5 1/4′.
4. Lay the card stock onto your protected table.
5. Add a piece of parchment or copy paper down.
6. On top of parchment paper add the card stock and the plastic wrap.
7. Now add the napkin.
8. Put another piece of parchment or copy paper on top
9. It is time to iron with a dry iron on dry for 1-3 minutes making sure you iron the edges.
10. Let it cook and remove the copy paper and cut the extra plastic wrap off with your scissor.

This is what you have:

     Now it is time to add it as a background to the card. I also cut out a sentiment.  

     To assemble the card you need a card base that measures 4 1/2′ by 5 1/2′.  Add the napkin transfer card stock to the base. Last, add a sentiment on the napkin transfer layer.

This is how it turned out:
