Angela's PaperArts: Gilded Vine Design card

I've combined two of my favourite products from the January-June 2021 catalogue on this card - the Vine Design stamp set with its co-ordinating Flowering Design dies (which can be bought as a discounted bundle) and the Gold Gilded Leafing also known as gilding flakes.

The Vine Design bundle is only available for a short time longer, so please head to my online store if you live in Australia to get yours today.

To adhere the Gold Gilded Leafing onto the stamped vine image, I first stamped the Vine Design image in Versamark ink and added the heat & stick powder. I melted the heat & stick powder with my Heat Tool and quickly added the Gilded Leafing onto the stamped image and pressed it into place. The end result is a beautifully gilded stamped image that is lovely and shiny 'in real life'.

Tip: You can use the heat & stick powder method to adhere other embellishments to your project such as glitter, light weight beads etc.

The products used are available from my online store if you live in Australia. Online papercrafting classes are available for Australian residents and new classes are released each month. Please contact me if you're interested in learning papercrafting.

Gilded Vine Design card

I've always loved using Gilded Leafing (aka gilding flakes) on my projects. The Stampin' Up! Gilded Leafing adds a touch of elegance with its metallic shine.

For this card which we made during my April 2021 online class, I combined the Gilded Leafing with the gorgeous Flowering Vine dies with the leafing being inlaid between the various open sections of the diecut.

The stamped sentiment is from the co-ordinating Vine Design stamp set. You can see a close-up of the card here.

Gilded birthday card

Continuing in my series of cards made using the Stampin' Up! Last a Lifetime stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle, here's one where I've stepped-up the diecutting by adding gilding flakes which I had in my stash.

This card uses the smaller of the floral corner dies along with a couple of dies from the Nature's Thoughts die set which is a limited release and co-ordinates with the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Here's a close-up of the gilded diecut section of the card.

Here's a portrait version of the card too.
