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.

  • Amazing Let’s Go Fishing projects by Candace, our Artist of the month

    I hope you're enjoying the 4th of July today.  We celebrated yesterday and today is a quiet day to catch up on things around the house.

    I am excited to show you these projects!  Candace was our Artist of the Month and chose to use the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.  The dies are currently unavailable but should be back in stock any day now. 

    I will share her projects this week, through Friday. 

    Here's the first card; it's a special fun fold card with a greeting on a flap. The flap is secured under the DSP strip on the right inside of the card.  

    Gone Fishing 3 Save

    I love the added fish and wavy trim she added. Her colors include Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Vanilla.  

    Measurements:

    • Mossy Meadow card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", strip for flap 4" X 1" scored at 1", circle is 3 1/2" 
    • Let's Go Fishing DSP 2 3/4" X 5" & 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" inside
    • Calypso Coral 3" X 5 1/4"
    • Vanilla inside 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", circle 2 1/8" 

    Gone Fishing 3a Save

    This next card shows off the amazing Gone Fishing dies that are included in the bundle.  Look at the many details – lures & bobbins galore all in the fabulous large frame die-cut that mimics a tackle box. 

    Gone Fishing 4 Save

    The colors include Boho Blue, Smoky Slate, Misty Moonlight, Real Red, White and a bit of Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist. 

    She even added inside stripes using designer paper and card stock, perfect for guys.

    Next is a fun 'inchie' style card.  She cut out 12 squares of the Let's Go Fishing designer paper seen here and added them to a Misty Moonlight layer. 

    Gone Fishing 6 Save

    The squares of designer paper are 1 1/4" each. The Boho Blue layer is 5 1/4" X 4".  She used the Stylish Shapes dies for her greeting.  Love the frayed Natural Wavy trim on the greeting. 

    Here's what she did with the inside.
