The link for the tutorial isn't working. I would love to see how this is done.
Thanks

Thank you - it's fixed!

Here's another card with a die cut napkin leaf

2019BLITZ2 La Vie est Belle by snietje - at Splitcoaststampers

Here's my card: gilded leaf.

Here's mine. I like how it turned out but for some reason my napkins kept separating :mad:


Forest Holidays

This is my 2nd time trying this technique. I like how my leaves turned out better and more colorful this time.

Here is my card--
2019BLITZ2, TLC767 Autumn Foliage by stampmontana - at Splitcoaststampers

This is my second fall tree card! I really enjoy this technique and the cool results you can get with the napkins! I used cheap dollar store napkins.

2019BLITZ2 Fall Trees #2 by JRHolbrook - at Splitcoaststampers

This tutorial is gonna take some practice. The layers kept separating no matter what dies I used. Here's my third attempt.

This did not come out as well as I'd hoped.

Diecutting napkins by muscrat - at Splitcoaststampers

Here is mine, not too happy with it though. But a lot of my favorite things, and dies are packed for retreat. I will try again, as you can tell everything wanted to separate!

2019BLITZ2 ABC12E9 Daisy Heads sm by smadson - at Splitcoaststampers

I love this technique now! Such a cool effect! Here is my Woolen Mittens card.

Didn't get quite the texture I'd hoped and had to adhere some of the layers together but will try this technique again. Love the way it took the colour! 2019BLITZ2 First Snow by Dockside - at Splitcoaststampers

Just as much fun as the first time I tried this. Thank you!

This is so cool, I used kraft colored napkin from Arbys and backed it with kraft cardstock. so the ground on this card was painted white haha.

IC727 Merry Christmas by JBgreendawn - at Splitcoaststampers

Neat technique to give texture to die cuts and doesn't require great watercolor skills. Thanks.

PINK POINSETTIAS

Hard challenge to do, since the layers of the napkins kept separating. But I made it work.

Happy Birthday Floral

This was a fun tutorial to try, I want to do it again. It was hard to select the die.

Hopeful Butterflies

Here’s mine:

2019BLITZ2 Lamb by Shirleysgirl - at Splitcoaststampers

Well-- didn't quite understand what would make a good die and picked ones with lots of poke out places.....will post photo of the tragic first results that are not going to make a card....but onsecond try with different die I was pleased....
Wasn't sure about gluing but having read the thread see I wasn't alone in needing to keep the napkin on the CS. I really think I have several dies that will do justice to this technique and may try some additional ones just for fun.

Here is my napkin Christmas tree card.

I am seeing comments here that mirror my experience pretty well. While eventually I got something made, it wasn't easy.

Here's my first card:
