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.

  • Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.

    Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile.  It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy. 

     

    Bright Borders Diagonal Save

    I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs.  The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch.  The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog.  It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.  

    I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined.  The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green.

    I share how to make it in the video here and seen below.  Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front.  The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper.  I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out.

  • How to use the Sophisticated Sled bundle with free project sheet

    We made this pretty card at my December card clubs.  It features the Sophisticated Sled bundle from our Online Exclusives line. 

    Sophisticated Sled Save

    I chose White with Boho Blue as my color combination.  The sled is die-cut from the Country Woods DSP. I also used the Painted Trees embossing folder seen here.  I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the trees. 

    I used stamps from the bundle for the greetings & snowflakes. 

    Sophisticated Sled Club Save

    Before I played with the dies I thought they would be difficult to assemble.  But they're a breeze!  I hope you watch the video below for my tips. The skates are genius!  The laces slip into a slit in the skate die-cut for easy assembly.  

    See this gorgeous bundle here.
