An extra special glitter napkin technique 1st Birthday Card from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Hello crafty friends.

How has your week been so far? Ours has been super busy as today is Sylvie's first birthday. So I have been making cake, prepping food, wrapping pressies and just generally creating bits and pieces ready for her day today.

I wanted to share the birthday card I made for her using the napkin technique (I talked about this technique here). I had picked up the party napkins and plates on a recent shopping trip and thought this technique would make a great little memento of her birthday party so set about using one of the napkins to create this SU inspired card (colour combo Rose Red and Pink Pirouette).

Once I had created my napkin layer I covered with Versamark and Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. I heat set the powder and then embellished with little extras from my Artisan Embellishment Kit (I adore the little pink resin flowers).

Here is another crafty share for you. A creation from Summer this time. This was her fantastic cat she made for her sister as a table centre piece. I am super impressed with her creativity and flair (and love of cats too).

And last but not least. Here is the birthday girl enjoying the celebrations.

Glitter Napkin Robin Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Good morning crafters ;0) And a very happy Wednesday to you (you know what that means? New Weekly Deals over on my website!). Nearly the weekend. And this time next week it'll be Christmas Eve *hooray*

Today's crafty share is a project we created at this month's final Christmas card class. I always get a bit sad packing away my festive stamp sets. But with the new Spring Summer products just around the corner I won't have time to miss Christmas for long.

So this card uses the tissue paper technique that I have seen all over the blogs and internet recently. It is perfect for using those favourite festive napkins to make in to beautiful cards.

I found these robin napkins in a local garden centre and knew my crafty ladies would love them. So I set about designing this card.

To create this card I first cut my card layers (I layered Brushed Gold over a Cherry Cobbler base). I then cut my top layer to layer the napkin on to. I covered the whole piece of cardstock with glue using the Stampin' Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheets. I then carefully pressed the napkin on to the adhesive making sure to position the image to get the whole robin on to the card. I pressed the tissue down to ensure it was completely adhered all over.

Once you have your napkin layer I pressed my Versamark inkpad all over the napkin layer and covered with Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat embossed to give the glitter sheen over the whole image. Once the embossing is set, you have your finished card and can embellish as desired. We created the little banner and stamped with the greeting from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set.

Thank you for popping by today. I'll have another festive creation for you tomorrow.
