Gilded in Gold? Gold Leafing How-To on this Stampin' UP! and Target Dollar Bin Find

 I LOVE how easy this was to elevate!  Honestly?? Gold Leafing was too scary for me - the static cling of everything would freak me out as it pulled the delectate gold about my crafting surfaces.  Then THIS project just about DEMANDED it!  

Concerns?  Well - I have an issue with mess and disorganization and chaos (unless I am creating it, lol!).  

I have issues with textures, stickiness can freak me out - especially when it is ON me!

Soooo... I have some Fixes, Suggestions and How-To to corral the crazy feeling, work on the project and NOW I am Addicted to it!  Enjoy this Project HERE and then see BELOW how we upgraded it with Gold Gilding in our Gold Leafing!

Grabbing these Supplies and a 'Clean' Baby Wipe (no oils, and basic for sensitive skin) I would clean my finger as I applied and worked on the project.  Playing with the Stampin' Sponge and Stampin' Blends, the Multi-Purpose Liquid Adhesive and it came together so so so very easily!

To create this Vintage & Elegant hand-stamped card you need:

Island Indigo card stock (#122923)

Early Espresso ink (#126974)

Soho Subway Designer Series Paper (#130140)

Brayer (#102395)

Tea Lace Paper Doilies (#129399)

SNAIL Simple Neat Affordable In-Line adhesive (#104332)

Sticky Strip adhesive (#104294)

Gold Sequin Trim* (#132893)

Gold Metallic Encore Pads* (#132141)

Ampersand Textured Impressions Embossing Folder* (#132970)

Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439)

 

Do YOU want a Hand-Stamped Gift from ME?!?  Let me send YOU a hand-stamped gift with the New Occasions Mini Catalog* (out now) and Sale~A~Bration Mini Catalog (1/28) of Free Stamps, Papers, Tools and More!!  Simply Email me Jamie@GettinCraftyStampin.com your name, number and the best time to talk.

This is the new & cool Ampersand Embossing Folder!  Using a Brayer you load Early Espresso ink and roll it along the Embossing folder (depending on the side you use, you can create the paper to pop thru the now modified background or de-boss a colored image in.  See this older video of mine on this cool technique & let me know what you think!

 

The Pretty Soho Subway has these Ampersand (& sign) images on the vintage newsprint pages.  Centering the Ampersand Embossing Folder over the Island Indigo image then embossing the Brayered side through the Big Shot.  This raised & vintage Ampersand has a cool Ampersand in the middle.

This is a cool technique takes the Tea Lace Paper Doily from lacy & pretty to cool & metallic & Rock n Roll!

Place the Cut (or whole) doily, here it's quartered, over the Gold Encore Metallic pad.  Using the Grid Paper or a spare scrap lay it over the doily on the pad.  Rub with your Bone Folder.  Your Bone Folder will stay clean.  Carefully remove and lay to the side.

Adhesive the embossed double Ampersand vintage page to the Island Indigo folded and boned card with SNAIL adhesive.  Adhesive the corner where you want the gold doily.  Carefully lay the gilded doily over the corner. 

Turn the card over on the Grid paper (I always stamp on my Grid paper!!) and rub from behind with the Bone Folder. This will help both sheets to stick better to the card and allow the for the gilded doily to dry.

Apply Sticky Strip across the bottom the the card.  Remove the protective covering.  Add the Gold Sequin Trim to the top.  Push the trim into the Sticky Strip as you go.  Cut off at the end.  I had one spare sequin fall off the end and applied it to the Sticky Strip under the last.

Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes (does thissss come in my shape/size?!?!).  This beautiful dress, pinned on Pinterest, is a fun way to feel my card-mojo come to life!

Layers, sheer and added sparkle.. this card picks up the subtle beauty of the dress!  Here with the Watercolor Wonder Wonder Designer Washi Tape under the beautiful Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  Subtle addition and layer easily achieved with this pretty gold patterned washi tape.

Add some more gold (can one ever have ENOUGH Gold??) with the Sponge Dauber in the Gold Encore pad and rubbing the edges of this Very Vanilla card.  Gilded edges are a great way to wrap up this card.

Gilding the edges of this Spiral Flower Originals Die that creates these beautiful roses! Using my Hot Glue Gun to adhere the 3D rose together on the base it comes cut with.  I curled the edges with my Simply Scored Stylus for a softer look.

50th Wedding Anniversary

Celebrate!

Life, Love, Unions, Births, Graduations, Longevity, Growth, Promotions... oh, the list goes on and on...

One of Myyyyy favorite celebrations is Anniversaries.  I am blessed to come from a lineage of long-love filled-Christ loving marriages.  So celebrating a monumental moment like a 50th Wedding is something I can't wait to jump on!

This 5"x7" Very Vanilla card stock (#101650) base is embossed with Gold Embossing Powder (#109129), Versa Mark watermark pad (#102285) and my Heat Tool (#129053).  This stunning Everything Eleanor stamp set (#124162) is versatile with elements and nature!

When my friend Deliz called and asked for my assistance with a situation, I was curious what she needed.  She described the invitations that she ordered on-line, that they looked amazing with raised gold and elegance "on-line" but when she received them they were flat, dull, little elegance or class... especially for her parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary! 

 

We spent a little time and visited while building a card that she and her sister actually liked!  I love that I had time to do a custom order and help a friend in the process!

Embossing Gold Powder on our Brushed Gold card stock (#102935) is SUCH an elegant and rich look while being super easy to accomplish! 

Layering this 'Gilded edged' Gold Embossed 2-3/8" Scallop Circle punched Very Vanilla piece is an elegance base for the Brushed Gold card stock Numbers punched with my BigZ dies (#127553)and Big Shot (#113439).

Printing the Invitation on the back and embossing the envelopes is a great way to encourage others to join in on the Celebrations!

 

My favorite childhood memories are wrapped around our family reunion for our extended family from across the nation.  I was nine when my grandparents celebrated 50 years of love, overcoming challenges of a lost child, family passing away and growing anew... I STILL Cherish those memories of family, friends & laughter.

(My Grandmother passed away shortly before their 70th wedding anniversary - wow!!) I'm beyond blessed by this lineage!!
