A striking technique with the Naturally Gilded specialty paper; with video & free project sheet!

I shared how to make this card on last week's video. It features the Naturally Gilded designer paper seen here.

This pretty paper has a white background and Silver, Gold or Copper foil patterns. You can see it in the Online Exclusives while supplies last. 

NATURALLY GILDED 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

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.

I created a free project sheet for these cards; you can download or print it here: Download Naturally Gilded Ink Resist technique

*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.

  • Look at these 2 beautiful cards with the Autumn Toile Designer paper

    These pretty fall themed cards were made by my talented Flowerbug’s for our September Autumn themed card swap. They both feature the gorgeous Autumn Toile designer series paper from the 2025 Holiday catalog.

    This first card was made by Lori and it’s a fun fold card.

    Her colors include Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Vanilla. The stamps are from The Right Words and More Messages sets. Gems are Streaked Dots and the metallic paper for that ‘tree’ die-cut is the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Can you see that pretty gold hoop around the tree? Wow!

    Here’s the inside view. The tree and deer dies are from the Autumn Trees dies.

  • Another cute card with the Happy Place stamp set with free project sheet!

    I shared one card yesterday and here’s one more. Both are fun ways to add color to this neat stamp.

    You can see this neat stamp set here. I love it and see lots of possibilities; especially for scrapbooking!

    I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

    Save

    I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?

    I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.
