Lovely little files! I was a bookkeeper for many years. .before "quick-books" programs. It was all by pen or pencil in ledgers! (1980's) Anyway, I had those rubber fingers (rubber thimbles) and that's the way we could quickly get through the zillions of paper pages, invoices, bills, etc! Who new I'd be wishing I'd kept those old papers for crafting but I do have a couple rubber fingers left!! I never would have believed it!! :))
I am totally trying the stamping on the napkin leftovers!! Your file folder is adorable!!! The envelope is as well but the file folder is my favorite!!
HEY AUSSIE GIRL...JUST FOUND YOU.....BEAUTIFUL OUTCOME... NEVER USED BACK LAYERS, THANKS FOR SHOWING... I ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO LOOK FORWARD TO MORE.....CAMILLE TOP OF VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA
Rachel, I have some napkin layers that I was going to stamp on tomorrow because they are a lot heavier than what I normally get off the backs of napkins. Now I’m very inspired to get it done, and I have ways to use them thanks to you. I really like the stamps you used. I have a lot of stamps, but I have stamp envy! 😁. 🤗 hope you enjoyed your pizza!
Love your artistry! Really enjoyed your video except for 1 tiny detail, had trouble hearing you. You talk softly while filming, when you talked to your daughter could hear you perfectly! So glad I found you, your creative style is motivating me! :-) Thanks.
Hi Rachel, wonderful project. Love your new embroidery printables. I couldn't stop laughing, hearing...easy peasy japanesy.....you crack me up girl!! I think I will be laughing each time I say it out-loud for weeks.... Hey lets make a new language together, it happens to me too. Thanks for your fussy cutting tips. Watching you gracefully glide around images with your scissors is mesmerizing. One day, I hope to fussy cut like you. Thank you for being my inspiring crafting guru. xx
Cute projects! Love the file folder, I'm going to give it a try! Your digis are beautiful and your fussy cutting is awesome! Can't fussy cut to save my life, lol😂 tfs!
Hi Rachel, this is something that I love to do with my left over napkins too. Definite it is fun and good use to them, the other think I like to do is using my stencils and using only the ink pads or the stamps it gives 2 different effects and textures. Till next time and have fun.
Beautiful little file folders and envelope! I laughed when you said you didn't have to cut so close because the backgrounds on both of them were yellow, and then you did a better, faster job of fussy cutting than I ever could have! ✂️❤
The stamped napkin backs give a nice soft background, don’t they? I used them like that once when I’d cleaned ink off a carved bird stamp and liked the ghost images better than my stamped ones. 😂 Problem is, it’s yet more stuff to find place to keep, whereas I usually chuck the peeled layers in the recycling bin. 🙄🤣xx
The envelope turned out really pretty Rachael. I love the little folder too. I would have crafted with you but i was washing dishes. But watched you the whole time 😉Have a great day !
Yes! Great movie! When my daughter was in college in the 90's, her professor made reference to the princess bride and the whole room was on their feet, cheerin' !
Rachel- as I watch this video this morning- I am reminded of a previous video in which you mention you are not really a mixed media artist--but honestly- your collage in and of itself is art- something that you definitely have your own style. By adding paper, napkins, stamping, textiles- this is all mixed media mediums. In fact you are a mixed media artist, my dear!!
Great idea stamping on napkin layers. All of these came out lovely. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much!
Great idea for the napkins! Love this project and your new digitals! I ordered mine and they are beautiful! ❤
What a great idea for the napkin scraps. Thank you for sharing. I love it! Now if I could just figure out how to collage decently...
Oh I need to try this now! Love it and I have a ton of napkins. Thank you for sharing your ideas!!
🤗

Very cute projects and love the stamping on the napkin left-overs :) Very pretty tfs
Love your new printables. The projects you did are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Love the idea of not wasting anything. The printing looks fantastic on the napkin backing. The items you made were very cute.
So beautiful Rachel! Carol is very lucky.
Love the file folder. tfs. ;-)

Thank you so much! I know so much to store away!
I learn something new every day on here!- fab use of napkin 'waste'. Love your faux file folder. You are SOOOO talented at collage.x
Very pretty! Have a good time eating pizza!
That is fabulous Rachel!! I’m off to try that right away 🤪 thank you so much for all your inspiration. Hugs. Maggie. ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️
Everything you make is truly lovely. I have a question, why add the magazine in the middle?
I just use it as a base to recycle it rather than throw it away. Thank you so much!
What a great idea. Love the ind x card you made. Thanks for sharing 😍🌴
The envelope turned out really pretty Rachael. I love the little folder too. I would have crafted with you but i was washing dishes. But watched you the whole time 😉Have a great day !
GREAT idea! I’ve been throwing those layers of napkin away! Not anymore I think. 🥴
Thank you! 😊
You can use a water wet brush to go around the napkin you want and it will tear very easily if you don't want to cut it
Going to try this Rachael I don’t throw the layers so have plenty off to get some more ink lol 🤗😊
JUST SO PRETTY-LOVE YOUR VIDEOS=TFS-HUGS/BLESSINGS
What no escapades today with you getting to the wrong car or an old man giving you the finger. 🤣
Those happen when I leave the house!
Has Lulu seen The Princess Bride? cracks me up!!!
Yes! Great movie! When my daughter was in college in the 90's, her professor made reference to the princess bride and the whole room was on their feet, cheerin' !
No I’ll have to put it on for her😁

By adding paper, napkins, stamping, textiles- this is all mixed media mediums. In fact you are a mixed media artist, my dear!!
When you stamp on the white pieces it's like you get 2 or 3 napkins instead of just one depending on how many layers it is. More bang for your buck
Absolutely 😁
Rachel, I enjoy the silence 😀
And don't feel bad about throwing some things away lol. Otherwise you would need to buy a bigger house!!
Sure it “fell” into your hand. That label was the Imps present to me. Righty-O
I am always talking to you. Haha. No labels.
I like these labels much better than a plain label. In fact I just got some fromTina today.
I know!!!! What has come over me.??
Label fever 🥵 😂
Oh my word. I’m slowly being converted to liking labels. Arghhhh
Words going sideways makes you exercise your neck so who cares if they are sideways. Haha
It’s called Dingo Italian.
