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!

Sunflower Fields 2 cards with 1 stencil

By KariV on October 10, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun layering stencil to share…this is the Sunflower Fields layering stencil from The Ton. This is a very large stencil…it covers an 8 1/2″ x 6″ surface area, so it allows you to get TWO cards with just one stencil session!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This stencil also has a coordinating die that cuts the top edge. This allows for some fun techniques! Here I added some ink blending and then a starburst stencil over the top. I love this blue “sky” over the sunflowers.

For this second one, I did a sunset look with a bubble stencil over the top. I love the added texture.

I used a sentiment set that allows for all the sentiments to be stamped at the same time and a die that cuts them out at the same time! This is a big time saver and so awesome. I popped the sentiments up with foam adhesive for a little dimension.

I hope you enjoyed these happy sunflower cards today! Thanks for stopping by!
