I decided to do a direct to paper resist technique and change the White background to Black. You can do this technique on any foil printed designer paper. The foil resists the ink so you can wipe it off once the background is saturated.
I used a Black Memento ink pad which is water-based. You can use any water-based ink but not Stazon. Stazon ink would cover the foil patterns.
How did I do it? I had my paper laying face up and rubbed or tapped my Memento ink pad all over the specialty paper. Once you're done adding ink simply wipe the ink off the foil prints with a tissue or paper towel.
*Below is the video where I shared this technique. I also shared my new Annual Catalog products and lots of amazing swaps too. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

Click here to order yours while supplies last; there's a limited supply!
You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately after payment and the kit ships separately from other kits via Priority Mail.
It's $25 and includes all pre-cut & punched pieces, 20 envelopes (10 green & 10 White), sparkly gems, Dimensionals, mini glue dots, Red Twine & ribbon and the PDF tutorial. It does not include stamped images.
You will need the following to complete the cards like mine:
Shaded Spruce & Black ink & Christmas greeting images
adhesive, a paper trimmer, Red, colored or clear rhinestones
I used the Heartfelt Wishes & stamps in the original PP kit on my cards but I'm sure you have greeting you can easily substitute.
The top two cards feature the Tidings & Trimmings bundle & the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP. Both are in a suite seen in the annual catalog on pages 88-89 or here.
The bottom two cards feature the new Eden's Garden stamp set & the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. See them both here.
Measurements:
Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line.
Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" to leave a space between like the card on the lower left)
White inside layer 3 1/2" square
Do you see the difference in the two cards below? Note the space between the designer paper squares on the left card. The DSP squares on the left are 1 3/4" in size. The DSP on the right card are 1 7/8" in size so they have no space in between.

Check out this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live. It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!
The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set. To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here. They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width.
Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.
