We've teamed up with the incredibly talented Donna from Mason Creations etc. to bring you an exclusive Christmas card-making tutorial. Her expertise in the art of decoupage is unmatched, and we can't wait for you to see what she's created. Be sure to watch the video below for a step-by-step guide that will inspire your holiday creations!
The Art of Christmas Card Making
In this delightful tutorial, Donna guides us through the process of creating a unique Christmas card, embellishing it with products you can find right here on DecoupageNapkins.com. Starting with a standard Christmas card base, available in a pack of 10 with envelopes, the tutorial showcases how a simple base can transform into a work of art.
1. Decoupage with Napkins: Donna selects a festive decorative napkin from our extensive collection. Did you know we have over 6500 items to choose from? This includes not just Christmas napkins but also rice papers, rub-on transfers, and much more.
2. Adding a Touch of Elegance: A green cardstock border is cut to fit the card, adding a layer of sophistication. Donna then uses Polyvine decorators varnish, a must-have for any decoupage enthusiast, to adhere the napkin smoothly to the card.
3. Ironing for Perfection: A unique technique Donna uses involves parchment baking paper and a craft iron to press the napkin onto the card while the varnish is still wet. This ensures a wrinkle-free, flawless finish.
4. Sparkle and Shine: To add a festive shimmer, Donna sprinkles crystal clear glitter over the card. Then she uses a metallic gold washi tape to add a luxurious touch. Next, the velvet powder brings a unique texture, making the card really festive!
5. The Finishing Touches: No Christmas card is complete without a bit of bling! Red rhinestones, snowflake stickers, and a red bow give the card a "wow" factor. A 'Merry Christmas' applique, crafted with a Cricut machine, adds a personalized greeting.
