Something Saturday - Time for Celebration Ephemera Pack

 Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off this Time for Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack because I discovered something really cool...... They're sticky backed!  I totally recommend having your Take Your Pick tool handy for removing the backing.  Here are the links for products I've used in these cards: Sweet Jar Bundle ,  Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock , Green "Luck" card Beautiful Butterflies stamp set ,   Petal Pink Two-Tone Cardstock  Peachy Hearts Celebrate Card Simply Said Mix & Match Stamp set ,  the Tools card and Disco Ball Card I also added some Rhinestones to the ones in the first 2 photos (let's face it gotta have bling!)💎 Then I got carried away and made a heap more......  I pressed out all the images then put them into piles of things I thought would go well together (Christmas was the easiest pile 🤣)  But it's really cool that there's a bit of everything in the Ephemera. These Christmas cards I used Jar of J...

Gilded Leafing and ways to stick it!

 Hi there Creators

I showed this on my facebook page the other day, but I know not everyone is a fan of FB so I'm sharing it here for you too 😊

I've now uploaded the video to YouTube, which I'll include in this blog post, however a quick run down of what's in it.....

So when you first get your Gilded Leafing, you'll need a bigger pot to put it into and a sponge or brush to help wipe off the excess.  HOWEVER.... it is soooo worth it!

you can purchase Heat & Stick Powder which means you can turn your stamps into gilded images like this:

you can pretty much use any glue to apply the gilded leafing, the next example I have is using the Tear & Tape Adhesive (ultra easy!)

After that I've used the Adhesive sheeting: attached it to cardstock, then layered on my Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, then dunked into the gilded leafing

I did use the Stampin' Seal and glue dots, which look great for a small embellishment!,  but haven't got round to making anything up with those samples yet, so then the other way I show in the video is using Tombow, and embossing cardstock through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine, then, you can paint it on with an water painter, if you need to be precise with where it goes, dab it on with a sponge, if you're happy for it to be more random, or glue up a silicone mat, spread the glue out thinly and press the embossed card to the glue (you do have to be careful with this method, as otherwise glue goes everywhere and the gilded leafing in turn sticks everywhere lol)

I think this example was with the water painter!

 And so for the video in case you still want to watch it

I hope you are inspired to have a go with the Gilded leafing it really does create such a beautiful effect on your cards!

God Bless love
