Talk about gorgeous! Gold leaf flakes take your paper craft projects up a notch. Today I'm going to teach you how to use gold leaf flakes and make a beautiful card at the same time.
The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Papers are pretty enough to frame! And on one of my cards I did just that. The 'Art Gallery' Stamp set by Stampin' Up! is so easy to use and makes beautiful flowers on greeting cards and scrapbook pages.
Since Stampin' Up! brought back the 'Heat and Stick Powder' I couldn't wait to apply gold leaf flakes to make a beautiful Wedding card! I've got all the how-to's you need to know in the video tutorial; you'll find using the gold leaf flakes super easy.

Hello Sharon! Sorry I haven’t been viewing you lately~~~LIFE HAPPENS, which I know you understand! FYI, all is well with us! :-) I was SO HAPPY to see the GOLD LEAF FLAKES be your focus today! So, so curious about that product! And I DO love this Suite, too! So many beautiful images, DSP, n’ “GOLD” items~~~YAY! Your card today was so, so pretty, and I really appreciated the clear directions n’ tips! :-)) I LOVE that EF as well. Your cards with the items in the Suite are BEAUTIFUL, and the Sentiments are Lovely, too! Another “treat” is your sharing the Gold Leaf Flakes adhered with Tear n’ Tape or Stampin’ Seal~~AMAZING! I like the idea of using Stampin’ Seal to create uneven, angled lines! What fun! :-). TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO, Sharon! GREAT to see you again, too! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Sending SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))))

@@TxStampinSharon Soooo I made a bunch of flowers and leaves...but the leafing seems as tho it isn’t sticking? If I press too hard with my finger nail I can push it up? Is this normal? Does it take a while to “set”?

@@marywright49 Make sure that you rub the gold leafing into your adhesive. It should not come off. What adhesive are you using? The heat and stick works the best as does the Tear and Tape.

Hi Sharon....Could you use a glue stick to accent our images. I have a lot of floral stamps that are just single stamping and I'd like to add a bit of gold leafing to them. Love your video. I have the floral art suite and I'm going to make a card like this one you demonstrated. I think it would make a beautiful sympathy card. Thank you for sharing.

I honestly do not know if the glue stick would work with gold leaving. I am assuming that's what you mean. I always say give it a try! I am so pleased you enjoyed my video and that you are inspired to make one too! You are very welcome!

I used one of the new ink blending brushes and it removed the extra gold beautifully. I just keep it on the lid of the container I put my foiling into.

Beautiful work Sharon! What is the difference between 'heat & stick' powder and embossing powder? Can they be used inter-changeably?
@TxStampinSharon
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much. No they can not be used interchangeably. The Heat and Stick Powder is more of a glue that you can have in the shape of an image. The magic happens when you heat it slightly! The embossing powder simply is embossing. It's not sticky when heated.
I have been using the gold leafing and other colors for a long time. Do you have to use the sticky powder or will it work over just versamark? I use double sided tape and the gold leafing when i need a pretty straight line for something. You said the acetate and papers match but how would you use those together? Loved your video!! Thank you
@TxStampinSharon
3 жыл бұрын
No the Gold Leafing needs to have an adhesive like the double sided tape or Heat and Stick Powder. While Versamark is tacky it isn't and adhesive. The acetate has the same pattern as the DSP. I layed the Acetate on the DSP and cut them both at the same time to 4" x 5 1/4"
Hi nice cards you showed. I thought what if you use dies on wide double sided tape, to make different shapes for gold flakes.. Did you try that? Or does that not work proper? Thanks for your cards
@TxStampinSharon

Thank you! You know you sure can cut the double sided tap with dies. I would not use punches as it would gum up the punch. You are very welcome!
Maybe wipe the jar down with an Embossing Buddy before filling it?

Today! Here is the first clue. I will be Live at 4 PM Central here on my channel! CLUE #1 1. White cardstock - 5 ½” x 8 ½” (Whisper White or Basic White) 2. Scrap White Cardstock 3. Scrap Colored Cardstock 4. Scrap Different Color Cardstock 5. Ribbon 6. Stamps: flowers and leaves would be great! 7. Ink: 4-6 different colors 8. Snips 9. Paper Trimmer 10. OPTIONAL - White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool
As long as we have to have masks around, maybe wearing one would keep us from accidentally blowing the gold leaf away!

The gold leafing is just too messy for the results. I use gold paper - much easier and just as pretty.
