I totally lucked out. I have freezer paper, napkins and my mom was doing ironing last night anyway so everything was there for me. This is my first technique challenge so I'm kind of excited with how it turned out. It's not quite as pretty as some of the ones I've seen, but I'm proud of it none the less. Hope you guys like it!

No luck yet.....
Well, I'm just going to have to get some freezer paper. I have some gorgeous napkins and had visions of sugarplums and gorgeous cards in my head last night.
Tried grovcery bags from two different stores (ya neva know) and also plastic food wrap. Didn't work. This will have to wait a day or two but I'm very eager to try it!
Lynn this was such a great challenge!! I love it - there are so many ways to use this idea!!! Thanks so much for the fun challenge!! Here's mine: Trim the Tree with Napkins

This is a super cool idea! I'm thinking on making my sister a couple of those boxes that fall open when you take the lid off and scrapping her 5 y.o. pics and one for my new born niece. I can make the 5 y.o. a "birthday" box and have her b-days highlighted... I'll have to see if I can find extras of all her b-day napkins My sister keeps everything so I probably can!

I have some spray mount, but I was afraid it would be difficult to get it to lie straight without wrinkling. I have a couple of different kinds... krylon, and craft bond. What kind did you use, and do you have any helpful hints?
I STILL don't have any freezer paper but am dying to try it!
Thanks!

Well I am new to stamping and had a lot of fun trying this technique. I am not the best photographer but I made all the glitter on the tree glitter. Hope you all like it as much as I do.
I haven't done this technique in years,but always loved it. I used the napkins to make my own envelopes. I'd find a napkin at specialty or kitchen shops that sorta matched a stamp set I had, then I created a matching or coordinating card. Using the napkin (and freezer paper) I made a matching envelop. I would mail my card and pretty envelop in a clear envelop. It was so much fun.
Another alternative you might try is using a clear dry cleaner's bag to adhere the napkin to a piece of cardstock for your card or envelop. You use a warm iron to do this. It melts easier than saran wrap. I used the cleaner bags when I use to applique designs on denim or sweat shirts.

Finally!!! I got some freezer paper and it worked like magic. I paired this with a featured stamper challenge - the card I cased and the design I chose was perfect for my napkin. Here it is:
I've been running everywhere trying to find freezer paper so I could try this technique and I'm so happy I finally found some. All the creations in the gallery are fabulous and I'm really happy with the way mine turned out too! Thanks for such a great technique Lynn. I made 3 cards from one napkin and my iron hasn't seen this much use in a long time. Here's my trio:
Here's another one - Had so much fun with the first one I had to do another - especially when I ran across these wonderful napkins I already had stored away.
Finally! I've been wanting to try this since Lynn posted it. I had to go to three different stores to find freezer paper. (It's at Kroger, not at Target or Publix). Anyway, here's my first attempt TLC192 Thanksgiving by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers
I don't usually buy printed napkins, but last Fall at my painting class, my instructor had some left over; she let me take one home so I could make a card for the TLC192 (Paper Napkin Transfer) challenge, but I didn't get around to it until today's WT211 challenge. Now, when I go to painting on Wednesday evening, I can finally show her what I made. DH even thought it looked pretty neat!
Thanks for looking.
