So I quickly found a beautiful spring napkin and my glue stick. There are many videos on You Tube explaining this technique. "No-Iron Paper Napkin" and "DIY Napkin Cards" are two that I like.
Hints: I used a brayer to make sure the glue was evenly distributed - do not use the brayer on the napkin side as the napkin might tear. I waited for the glue to dry before I trimmed the edges. This wait may not be necessary, but I wanted to be careful. If you are going to use a paper trimmer to cut the piece, be sure the glue is dry and place the napkin side down. As I quickly learned, cutting the piece with scissors is a better option as there is less chance of tearing the napkin.
I was going to add a sentiment, but changed my mind. I like the card as is, but also think it needs something. Any ideas?
