Antiquing Gilding Flakes

By KariV on October 12, 2023 in Christmas, Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another card to share in my Halloween Card Series: Antiquing Gilding Flakes. I’m adding a cute (and spooky) ghost to a Thorny Frame Die so the ghost looks like it’s coming right out of that frame.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

When I saw that Thorny Frame Die I just knew I had to have it. I love it! I wanted to create this card with the ghost coming right out of that frame (how spooky is that)?!?

I’m using Gilding Flakes today and then creating a more antiqued look. This is a fun technique!

I created another card with this same technique using Gold Gilding Flakes and the new Scrooge stamp set from Whimsy:

You can see I only added the gilding flakes in small sections, and on the berries. See the video to see just how I created the gilding and then the antiqued look on those frames!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! See you soon with another card to share!

Hello! Today I have a new video for you on Foiling a Pinecone. I’m using a couple simple stencils to get a beautiful foiled card!

I’m sharing all the details in the video. I have really missed Foiling Friday this month; however, I have been sick so it was nice to have a little break. So consider this a “mini” Foiling Friday! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! I hope you have a magical season!

Holiday Shaker Tags

By KariV on December 11, 2022 in Christmas, Holidays

Hello! Today I have 3 holiday shaker tags to share along with a video on how to put them together! When you have beautiful products like this Tag Along die from Heffy Doodle, it’s easy to build a shaker tag.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

These tags were all made with some new favorites of mine from Heffy Doodle!

Tag 1: Happy Christmas Elf

For the first tag, I stenciled the Happy stencil on the background with red ink. Then I cut out the Tag Along die using the Tinsel Town paper from Heffy Doodle. (This was a part of their Mega Day sale, and I hope they have in their shop available soon!)

The images, including that happy elf are from Santa’s Village stamp set! I love it with the Christmas die as well. Watch the video to see how to assemble these tags with the shaker Sparkle Mix elements inside!

Tag 2: Santa’s workshop

For this one I changed up the color of the paper, but the images are all from Santa’s Village again. I added a candy cane to Santa’s hand…isn’t that perfect?
