  • In todays video I show you how to use your gilding flakes with embossing folders when card making. The principles can of course be applied to heat embossing and these are just two ideas.
    Products used are linked below where they are still available. But you can of course use any embossing folders in your stash!

    Thank you for the video. I am making a card today for my son’s birthday and I will be trying out the guided technique for a bass fish jumping out of the water. I will put a silver foiled frame around the scenery on a gray card. Inside I am putting a photo of him teaching our grandson how to fish when he was little. Sentiments fishing related and a map of his favorite lake as a present. I am so excited to make this card. Again, many thanks! 😊

    This technique is a game changer! I don’t have to rely on gold cardstock for gold embellishments anymore, and these are way more interesting with the variegated colors!

    • @meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura
      @meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Aw thank you so much ☺️ yes! Great substitute for gold cardstock for embellishments and you get a much more faux metal look. The butterfly with all the small bits in real life looks like matte or sprayed metal and if you use large flakes it does look more polished and variegated! It definitely adds something unique and different to a card. Thank you for watching ☺️

    I had not thought to use foiling flakes and embossing folders together. I will definitely be trying this out. And much as I liked the foiled butterflies, the partial foiling of the embossing with the words was the standout for me. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

      There's absolutely no end to uses with flakes, just get them out and play you will soon be experimenting yourself.
      I keep a separate tub of all the left over flakes as trying to get them back in the main tub can be 😅
      I have small tubs (baby food pots) that I opened up flakes into and work from these at least if you breath of sneeze it's not a major issue 🙃
      Double sided tape, tape pens and two way glue pens- zig, nuvo, sakura quickie are all good ways to add flake accents to stamps, prints ect too.
      Above all have fun x

I always try to think outside the box and think of ways to use what I have in different ways so I'm so glad you're enjoying watching ☺️ enjoy your flakes when they come! I have almost used up my first tub so I definitely need to order more as I have a few more ideas 😉

    Laura, this video does not hold earth shattering new data, but it does hold a big reminder of fun and great results we used achieve. Thank you Thank Thank you, for being back super effects I've not bothered with for well over a year or more.
    I'm now on the hunt for all my glitter glue tools I'm ready to play again 😂🎉😮 ❤😂 By the way Laura, a really big thank you for showing what the bits that remain look like when you use right to the very end. Colour changes as does whole effect. Gives such a deeper sense of the mixed colours. Loved each and every card made, but have to own the last as my favourite. Thank you once more for sharing your beautiful cards.

      Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment ☺️ it's good to try and remember to use your stash. I think as crafters we go through phases and play with one thing all the time then put it away and forget about it for a while. I am completely new to gilding flakes so I've been trying to think of other creative ways to use them, I think no techniques are ground breakingly new as most techniques have been done before in one way or another or people adapt them. It was a new technique for me but one I was sure probably has been done before. I actually love the effect the small fragments gave, almost like a brushed or sprayed metal. Definitely worth using them up like that for faux metal embellishments. Glad you enjoyed watching ☺️

      @@meerkatmakesbyl-cardsbylaura Hi Laura, thanks for prompt reply. Please accept my apologies if you found my opening statement rude, my thoughts we far from that.In fact, totally the opposite. I watch late at night and don't always check the spellchecker. As I have recently developed shaky hands........no matter how I hold fingers, I get letters in the wrong pla e and totally different worlds seem to appear. Also the grammar gets changed because I've not noticed.
      Was blown away to hear you are new to gilding flakes. Most crafters don’t get to using the grotty bits at the end. Like you, I. Iike to use bits to the very end. Agree with you how colours from the bits looked, looked like brushed gold metal. They are also rather good for small streaks and feathery parts that makes things look marble. Have signed up so I don't miss any of your new adventers.
      Happy crafting and thank you for sharing. Hope this note blooper free😊🤗🤨
