Dry Embossed Gilding Flakes Christmas Tag

Dry Embossed Gilding Flakes!

This "You Tube" Video shared by the GO7 girls was very helpful.

Amazing Embossed Gilding Flakes.

Here is my Snowflakes Tag Christmas Card...Enjoy!

I used a small scrap of SU Basic White 100# paper then added

 Scotch Double Stick Tape to the paper.

Then placed the scrap in a plastic container and carefully added pinches of the

Nuvo Gold Gilding Flakes onto the cut cardstock in the container and

used my finger to burnish the flakes.  When completely covered I removed the

burnished piece and placed on my glass craft mat.

Then used a craft small brush to brush off the excess flakes into the container.

Then added the loose flakes from the container back into the Nuvo Jar.

No mess and/or flying Gilding Flakes everywhere😄

I then realized my piece was a good size for a Tag!

I die cut with CUTplorations "Stitched Tags Nesting Dies".

Then Dry Embossed my tag with Spellbinder 3D Embossing Folder 

"Flurry of Snowflakes".  My 1st time to use this wonderful folder.

Next I lightly added SSS White Pigment Ink directly to the raised dry EB snowflakes.  

The pigment ink was not drying so I added SU Clear EB Powder.  Then Very carefully heat EB with my heat tool.  Too much heat would have melted the gold gilding.

Whew...turned out!

Then Die cut the CUTplorations "Christmas Sentiments Dies" Merry sentiment

out of SU Red Glitter Paper and attached with Connect Glue using Fine Tip Bottle

and weighted down with large acrylic block.  

Added SU rhinestones and retired ribbon,

Next used the same 3D snowflakes folder for the dry embossed background.

Popped up the tag with craft foam and attached to the snowflakes background.

Then attached the layers to SU Basic White Cardbase

and Done😄

I was Very Happy with the results and also happy to add to my Christmas Stash!

Thank you GO7 girlfriends for all the inspiration...I am loving your technique💖

Love and Hugs..

CAS Stencil April Reminder: Gilding Flakes

Time for our CAS Stencil Reminder cards sharing more DT Gorgeous Shine!

Hosted by Cathy and our awesome Guest Designer, Mac (thesweetestofpeas).

The flakes may fly,  but the results are Gorgeous Shine!!

Here is my Shiny Gilding Flakes card!

For my Reminder card I placed the STAMPlortions "Christmas Tree 1" designed by Sanna

over a SU Whisper White 100# CS card front.  Next used icraft deco/foil adhesive pen

to add adhesive thru the stencil.  Worked Great!

Removed stencil and added a narrow strip of double sided tape along one edge.

Then very carefully opened the jar of Nuvo Radiant Gold Gilding Flakes.

Placed card front on copy paper to catch the stray flakes.

Covered the adhesive strip and sticky stenciled trees with flakes.

Used my finger to adhere flakes to adhesive and used 3 sizes of flat soft paint brushes

to carefully brush off the excess flakes.  

Then die cut to give the images a nice frame using Penny Black "Leaf Stitches Frame Dies"

I popped up the main image with White Craft Foam and Done!

I Love the shine and so pleased to have another Christmas card for my stash:-)

You still have until the 24th to play along.  Hugs..

CAS Stencil April Challenge: Gilding Flakes

Time for our April CAS Stencil Challenge: Gilding Flakes hosted by our talented Cathy

Be sure to check out all the Gorgeous Shiny cards by our amazing DT and

Guest Designer,  Mac (thesweetestofpeas).

Here is my card using Gilding Flakes...Love the Shine!

Thank you Cathy for choosing a fun stencil challenge using Gilding Flakes.

I only have Nuvo Radiant Gold Gilding Flakes that have been much neglected!

I started with a SU Whisper White 100# card front.

Placed ARTplorations Christmas Trees Stencil over card front and used icraft

Deco/Foil Adhesive Pen thru the stencil.  Worked Great!

Removed stencil and Very Carefully opened the Gilding Flakes jar!!

Placed stenciled card front over copy paper to catch the flying flakes.

Added flakes over entire adhesive covered stenciling and rubbed with my finger to

secure the flakes.  Then used 3 sizes of soft flat paint brushes to remove the excess flakes.

The copy paper caught the excess flakes so I carefully poured back into flakes jar.

Just like adding excess embossing powder into jar.

Next die cut the image to give it a nice frame using Reverse Confetti "Lacy

Scallop Frame Confetti Cuts".

Found the CUTplorations "Christmas Sentiments Dies" Noel in my stash.  The Noel

was die cut from an Alcohol Ink  scrap.  I die cut 2 more out of white CS and stacked.

Popped up image with White Craft Foam onto Whisper White 100# card base and

Done!  Love the Shiny results that even showed up on my photo:-)

You still have until the 24th to play along in this awesome challenge.  Hugs..
