Dry Embossed Gilding Flakes Technique by GO7 Cardmakers

Dry Embossed Gilding Flakes Technique by Group of Seven Cardmakers.


Video Supplies:
  • Card stock
  • Double-sided sticky sheets
  • Gilding Flakes
  • Burnishing tool (Rub-it Scrub it from Ranger works really well)
  • Embossing Folder
  • Embossing machine
  • Permanent Ink (Staz-on, Archival, etc.)

Technique Instructions:

Following the video above ...
  • Cut card stock to size
  • Add double-sided sticky sheet to card stock
  • Remove cover sheet and place gilding flakes over top
  • Burnish gilding flakes with fingers or burnishing tool
  • Place gilding flake panel in embossing folder and run through embossing machine
  • Remove panel from embossing folder and lightly swipe overtop with permanent ink to colour the highlighted design
*****************************
Here is correct Video Link to Embossed Gilding Flakes by Technique Junkies.
Note:  I used double stick tape instead of double-sided sticky sheet.
I used my finger to burnish and Archival Jet Black Ink to lightly swipe over top
of dry embossed trees and had NO stickiness:-)

Also to prevent gilding flakes from flying all over I placed cut card stock in a plastic
rectangular container.  The video was very helpful!

My shiny gold gilded flakes dry embossed Christmas Card!
Loved the Results:-)




My Supplies:
Stamps: Penny Black Jolly Snippets sentiment.
Paper: SU Basic White for cut card stock and cardbase and Black Mirror
Card by Tonic for framing.
Ink: Archival Jet Black for sentiment and lightly covered dry embossed trees.
Accessories: MB stitched rectangle die.  Sizzix #3D "Christmas Tree Pattern"
which I used for the 1st time! 
Nuvo Gold Gilding Flakes. 3M Scotch Double Stick Tape.
Craft Foam to pop up framed main image.

Very easy technique using few supplies that created beautiful results:-)
I will be using the technique again...soon!

Thank you Susan for a wonderful technique.  I plan to use more Gilding Flakes using
more of the techniques shown in the very helpful video:-)

Love and Hugs

    1. Thank you Dolly for your sweet comment. After seeing all the amazing cards by the GO7 girls I knew I had to play along. What was really wonderful was reading all your descriptions and finding out what worked and what did not for your techniques:-) A real plus for me and your followers!!! I just finished 2 different gilding flakes backgrounds tonight that are going to be fun to finish into cards in the near future:-) You girls are such an inspiration and such wonderful sharing friends. Love and miss you my dear friend and Happy Easter to you, Kevin and all your family too. Nancy
