Tim Holtz Texture Fades and Dies w/ Metallic Gilding Polish!

November 2, 2025 November 2, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

I’ve got and extra special “pretty in pink” metallic holiday card to show you today! We will not only be using several wonderful Tim Holtz products but also the gorgeous Cosmic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish!

If you haven’t seen these gilding polishes before you may want to check out these videos that I had previously posted. There is lots of information about the gilding polish and the opal polishes as well. I will link those here for you:

So for today’s card, let’s begin by setting the scene for the poinsettia that we will be creating by embossing some white 100lb cardstock using a 3D Texture Fades Embossing Folder. Almost any pretty, swirly, background embossing folder would be perfect for this card. Once the embossing is done, we will add some Gilding polish in Citrus Green, Coral Sands, and Pink Sunset. I’ll talk about some techniques that I use to apply the Gilding Polish to my projects in today’s video.

Let’s use those same colors to create a “woodgrain” style background to mount the embossed panel onto. This will coordinate perfectly and bring everything together!

Next, for the beautiful poinsettia, we will use the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Seasonal Sketch. Again, using those same gilding colors we will apply the ink to some white cardstock and then die cut the poinsettias and leaves. Now we can assemble the flower and leaves!

For the center of the flower, we will add a few sparkly gems for a bit more interest and dimension. To give these a bit more dimension you can easily shape the flowers with your fingers by just curling up the petals. It is a simple touch that adds so much to your flowers and leaves!

Let’s die cut the word “Merry” from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Merry & Bright die set. We will die cut 3 or 4 of these and attach them together to create a nice thick sentiment. We will add some of the Pink Sunset Polish to this sentiment first and then scrape on some of the Coral Sands in a few places. You will love how this looks!

Finally, let’s assemble the card and add a strip of white embossed paper just underneath the poinsettia for a simple way of visually grounding this beautiful flower!

Metallic Gilding Polish w/ Spellbinders Embossing Folder, Dies & Sequins!

November 17, 2024 November 17, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I thought it would be fun to go back to a product that I haven’t used in a while which is the Creative Expressions Metallic Gilding Polish! These polishes are so beautiful, fun and easy to use. We will be combining these gilding polishes with a gorgeous Spellbinders Oak Forest 3D Embossing Folder, a new set of Spellbinders “Hello Smile” Dies, and some pretty Spellbinders Opalescent Sequins!

I have done a few other videos using this product which I will link for you down below if you would like to check those out.

We will be using the Gilding Polish in a few different ways today. For the first one we will use some kraft cardstock and run it through the die cutting machine with the Oak Forest embossing folder. Then we will add some Metallic Gilding Polish over the top. I’ll talk about some tricks and tips for using this product throughout the video.

For the next card panel, we will begin by inking the kraft cardstock and then running it through the die cutting machine with that same embossing folder. So now we will have lots of color in the background and we can add just a few highlights to the tops of the images.

For the third card panel, we will be using a black cardstock. You will love how these metallics really pop on the black color and then we can add a few highlights to the tops of the images here as well.

For all of the card panels we will use the Metallic Gilding Polish to spatter the background with the coordinating ink colors.

Next, we can die cut the sentiments (Hello and Smile) and for the lettering on the sentiments we will ink some cardstock so that it will match the backgrounds beautifully. This will add that same metallic shimmer to the letters! We can go ahead and die cut these and assemble them with a bit of velvet ribbon and pop them up with some foam squares.

Finally, let’s add some pretty Spellbinders Opalescent Sequins in Aura, Purple and Teal!

Here are a few other videos that I have done using the Gilding Polish that you might enjoy:

I recently purchase four new Metallic Gilding Polish colors in Sandcastle, Coral Sands, Blue Wave, and Pink Sunset. So I wanted to share them with you! These four colors are fairly new and we will be almost exclusively using these colors today!

This video will be sort of a Part 3 video to my Metallic Gilding Polish videos that I have already done. I will link those videos here so that you can see what I have created using some of the other beautiful colors in this product line. Those two videos are linked below:

Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades Cards w/ Metallic Gilding Polish

We will create several backgrounds to start out and then at the end I will show you several examples of cards that I made using these background. I’ll give you lots of tips and tricks for using these beautiful polishes in the video as well.

For our backgrounds today we will be using a couple of stencils from the Tim Holt Collections including the Stampers Anonymous Bouquet Layering Stencil and the Stampers Anonymous Wildflower Stencil. We will also use a wonderful Sizzix 3D Textured Impressions Floral Mandala Embossing Folder.

And to create our cards we will use several products from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Collection including his Quote Chips, Kraft-Stock Cool Colors, Kraft-Stock Metallic Colors. We will also use some dies from his collection including the Sizzix Thinlits Stacked Deckle, Bold Text #1, and Celebration Words: Script Dies!

So let’s get started……

Watch the video tutorial here!

Hello!

Today I thought I would show you a follow-up of the “Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades Cards w/ Metallic Gilding Polish” that I had previously done. You may want to watch that video as well because I cover the Gilding Polish in a bit more detail and there are several project examples!

So…in the first video, I showed you a couple of really interesting and textural cards using the beautiful Metallic Gilding Polish from Creative Expressions. We focused on just three colors in this video so that you could see how completely different they look depending on how you use them. We will also used the Tim Holtz 3-D Texture Fades Embossing Folders and at the end of the video I showed you several different samples!

For this Part 2 video, I want to show you many more color combinations and I will also be showing you the differences between the Gilding Polish and the Opal Polish. You will see how the Opal Polish is a completely different color when used on black cardstock versus white cardstock. The difference is dramatic and very beautiful!

Today we will create several backgrounds and embellishments, several different color combinations and then at the end of the video we will create several cards using these items. We will also mix the Opal and Gilding Polish on the same background which will give even more dramatic results.

For texture and dimension, we will be using several 3D embossing folders and die sets from Sizzix and also several Tim Holtz idea-ology products to complete our cards (including quote chips, metallic droplets, and sprocket gears). All of these products are listed and linked below.
