Quick and Easy Gilded Stamping Technique

Posted on May 1, 2025 by Imagine

Hello friends, Katy here and in today’s video tutorial, I’m going to show you how to add some gilding to your stamped images as well as how to add some texture to your silhouette stamps using a swiping technique. I will be using Memento inks and Brilliance Galaxy Gold for the gilding. This technique is so quick and I think you will like the end result. I created a thank you card for today, but as always you could put any sentiment you like on this design.

Easy Christmas Card Set Using VersaColor and Delicata inks

Posted on November 21, 2023 by Imagine

By LeeAnn McKinney

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 45 minutes

Directions:

Step 1
Cut Cardstock to 8” x 10.5”

Step 2
Line Stencil 1 with the paper using the guides on the stencil.

Step 3.
Using a blender tool of your choice (sponge daubers was my choice) blend VersaColor Fresh Green onto the cardstock.

Step 4.
Line Stencil 2 with the paper using the guides and blend with Delicata Emerald Green

Step 5.
Line Stencil 3 with the paper using the guids and blend with VersaColor Scarlet

Step 6,
Line Stencil 4 with the stencil and this one we are going to use twice, First blend with Delicata Ruby Red

Step 7.
Once completely dry, (just takes a couple minutes) line back up and go over stencil 4 again this time with Shimmer Stix Dauber in Sparkle. This will add just a little sparkle to accent the berries on this wonderful Mistletoe.

Step 8.
Set aside to dry and cut your card bases, I have 4 card bases measuring 4.25” x 5.5”, standard A2, I also cut green and red cardstock to use as a layering panel, they are each 4 ⅛ x 5 ⅜.

Step 9.
Now that my stenciled panel as completely dry, I cut it in half each way, this gave me 4 card panels to make my cards. I stamped the sentiments from various stamp sets on the panels, adhered them all together using Tear It! Tape and my cards were complete.
