Wednesday’s WOW! #139 –Add colour to the Silver and Gold Foils.
You might have seen the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper available for Sale-A-Bration? Of course you can leave it as it is but why not have some fun with it and colour it. There are a number of different ways you can do that.
The Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper have embossed designs on them. There are dots and stripes in Silver and in Gold. The dots or stripes will resist the ink when you add colour so you have nice shiny additions to the colour. Once you add the colour just wipe off lightly with a tissue to remove any excess ink on the foil parts.
Let me show you 3 Ways to add colour to this paper.
1. Use the Blending Brushes to add colour. Use one colour or a number of colours and brush over a piece of the paper. (bottom left)
2. Use markers to add additional coloured stripes on the striped print. Using 2 colours will add an extra pizzazz to your cards. (right).
Of course you can leave it plain as a lovely background and add extra stamped images or elements on the card. (top left)
3. Stamp directly on to the Foils with regular Classic Ink Pads. You will have the “embossed” lines or dots run through it but it adds a cool effect. (below)
Want some more ideas with colouring Foils Paper?
A few years back there was some other range of Foils Paper. I shared a few projects using them way back then. Check out the posts -> HERE and -> HERE. Or you can do a search for Springtime Foils Paper on my blog.
Below is the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper. It is a pack of 24 sheets in 6″x6″ size. 12 each in 2 patterns (stripes and dots) and in 2 colours (silver and Gold).
And bonus, it is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90 AUD. (Only while supplies last).
Grab it now with your orders (or grab any of the other great Sale-A-Bration choices.

In last week’s Instagram Reel I shared making this card.
If you don’t follow me on Instagram already head -> HERE so you don’t miss out on more Reels and inspiration.
For this one I punched the corners of the piece of Wonderful World Paper with the Very Best Trio Punch.
The piece of Orchid Oasis card was embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.
This was the first card I made below. For the strip of Wonderful World paper I kept the edge straight. I embossed the Flirty Flamingo card with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.
For both cards the flower from the Wonderful World Stamp Set was stamped in Pear Pizzazz on the white circle. Then stamped again in Rich Razzleberry. I snipped the flower head with scissors.
The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.
Which do you like better, Orchid Oasis or the Flirty Flamingo one?
The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper and the Wonderful Stamp Set is available as a Free choice with your orders over $180 AUD.

I shared a card recently with the Hippest Hippo Stamp set with a similar layout.
This time I went Starry Sky colour. But isn’t she the cutest in her little tutu. 🙂
To diecut the edge of the Starry Sky Designer Series Paper piece I used the Basic Borders Dies. The Starry Sky card was embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder.
The sentiment was from Sending Smiles Stamp set and diecut with the Sending Dies.
Have you picked the Hippest Hippo Stamp set as one of your bonus picks for Sale-A-Bration? It’s a fun one.

Another pretty card with the Wonderful World Stamps and Designer Series Paper.
For this card I stamped the flower in Pear Pizzazz first. Then stamped it again in Rich Razzleberry on scrap white card. Then the flower head was snipped with scissors. No dies for cutting this one! 🙂
The Stamp set for the sentiment is the Go To Greetings.
The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper and the Stamp Set are a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $180 AUD.
It is pretty. I will say when I first saw it I thought it was dark and heavy but there are some lovely prints in the pack with florals on one side and more patterns on the other side.

Today’s card is a simple one but I particularly wanted to show you how to get the different colour flower head on the Wonderful World flower stamps.
If you take a look at the flower a little closer, You can see the different colours.
To get this effect firstly ink the stamp in Pear Pizzazz. Then with a tissue remove the ink off the flower head. Using a Sponge or Dauber apply ink to the flower head. I used Starry Sky here.
You can give it a little “huff” before stamping if you like. That will reactivate the Pear Pizzazz ink.
For the sentiment I used the Go To Greetings Stamp Set with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I also used the Basic Borders Dies on the paper to get a scallop-y edge.
I have played a bit with this lovely paper and stamp set over the past week so I will share more.
The Wonderful World Stamps and Paper are a free bonus you can choose with your orders over $180 AUD during Sale-A-Bration.

Today’s project is very simple. With fading energy levels it was enough to keep it all together for this.
With very little stamping, no colouring and just a small amount of cutting and diecutting it came together pretty quickly.
I have used the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper. With it’s beautiful floral images I diecut some flower images with the Stylish Shapes Dies and matted them on Starry Sky squares cut with the next size square.
The leaf is from the Wonderful World Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set.
