Hi,
After I posted the card from 2015 February and March's birthday party at Jim's residence I went looking on my blog for the other paper napkin cards I have made and realized they never got from the camera to the blog. So here is one of them. The technique for fusing the napkin on the cardstock is pretty simple but I have found you need to use the good cling wrap as the edges do tend to curl up after awhile so using a border seems to hold them down. Also some napkins are 2 ply and some are 3 so they need to be pulled apart very carefully to make sure all layers come off. There are a lot of how-to's on You Tube.
Hope no one minds a Halloween card in spring. lol
Have a blessed day.

February and March Birthday Walden Heights
Hi,
Oh yes, I know it has been a very long time since I have made and/or posted a card. I really am trying to get back to doing this but, for some reason, it is not going as well as I had hoped.
Walden Heights Age Care facility, where my husband lives now, has a birthday party once a month. Due to illness they had to cancel February so the two months were celebrated together.
They often have live music and dancing etc.. They also have cake and juice. This is the napkin that the birthday people receive with their cake. I fused it onto card stock and since it seems to be the rage right now I made this into a shaker card with little music notes.
Since round or oval shapes are hard to place the pop dots around I used fun foam and cut out the shape and attached everything with my Xyron. Works slick without too much fuss trying to get the sticky pop dots just right. Plus, the fun foam has no sticky edges for the little music notes to stick to or get loose. The envelope is pretty big but since I will hand deliver it I didn't worry about making it smaller to fit the card. :)
Have a blessed day.
