Hello! Today I am excited to share with you 3 Ways to Use a Silhouette Stamp using the set “Sister Time” by Our Daily Bread Designs.
I have my absolute favorite go-to for using silhouette stamps, and that is to Distress Ink the background, then stamp over it in black ink. But today I have THREE ways to show you!

- SISTER ADVICE
The first way is Distress Inking a panel, and then using a die to cut it out. I used the Flourishy Frame Die and Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, and Fossilized Amber ink here.
I did splatter some water over that background, then I allowed it to try before I die cut the frame. I masked off the edges before adding the stamp from Sister Time in my favorite crisp black ink.
Doesn’t this just look like an older sister giving advice to the younger sister? I love that.
2. LAUGH SMILE LOVE GOLDEN ADVICE
Another way to get more out of your silhouette stamps is to GOLD emboss them. Here I used black paper to gold emboss, then I cut it out using the Double Stitched Square Dies. I added it onto black fun foam before attaching it to the Flourishy Frame Die. I love that die and have used it a lot this month. I used two layers of the frame to give it more dimension and pop!
I cut those words out of gold foil paper. But you could also heat emboss them using the same gold embossing powder to make them completely match. My gold colors were just close enough!
The stripes are made using a clarity brush and Tea Dye Distress Ink…I masked off the stripes using Post It tape!
3. OMBRE INKED SISTERS
The last way I have to share with you today is to ombre ink the stamp! Here I used different colors and a Misti. I inked up the first color, then stamped. Added the second color further down the stamp, then stamped. And then the third color at the bottom of the stamp, then stamped again. Having a MISTI really helped with this technique!
I could’t resist turning this into a shaker card using all the matching colors of sequins. I cut out the top layer with the Double Stitched Square Dies, then added two layers of foam tape. Be sure to add the sequins before you tape the panels together!
I can think of a few more ways to using silhouette stamps, but those will have to wait for another day! (How about a watercolored background or Sponge inking inside a shape?) Lol…I could go on.
