There are so many pretty serviettes out there. I wonder if any of you, have been like me and have picked up a serviette at a function, thinking this is too pretty to wipe my fingers clean, I am going to pocket it instead and use it for something someday – so others can appreciate its beauty too?

I have made some canvases (wall art) in the past with serviettes and a paper glue, but finding this easy way to transfer them onto card fronts was a game changer. (Way less wrinkles and way less mess!)

For this card, I used the spotlight on nature bundle and a sentiment from layering leaves. I used Balmy Blue and Flirty Flamingo cardstock to match the colours in the servitte.

I purposefully didn’t add words inside this card so I could you for a a variety of occasions later on.

If you are still reading, you are probably wondering when I am going to tell you how to actually make these cards…

Here goes: The main points are to use a hot iron with no water in it and iron it on a very firm surface. I used a wooden chopping board.
You MUST make sure that you use the top layer of the serviette only. Some have two layers and some have three layers. Peel away the one or two bottom white paper layers and keep the top layer with the picture on. Make your sandwich like this:
*Wooden board
*Baking Paper (this will protect the card from burning)
*Cardstock (piece of white or vanilla)
*Plastic cling wrap (cut a piece to cover the card and lay it out as flat as you can)
*Picture Serviette – right side facing up
*Baking Paper (again needed to stop paper serviette from burning)
Make sure that the baking paper covers everything – you don’t want to get plastic cling wrap on your iron as it will ruin the iron.
Iron for about 10 to 15 seconds in one area. Press down firmly. Then move onto another area and repeat. Lift off baking paper and see if the picture is attached. If the picture is lifting off at the corners, just continue the process.
I used card stock larger than needed. I trimmed off the excess card, serviette and cling wrap when finished.

Bird card with serviette. I made this one using a bird patterned serviette. I adhered it all together as described above, then die cut it out with one of the circles from Spotlight on nature dies. The stamps are from Sentimental Park stamp set.
