    Gorgeous techniques. Dry embossing the hearts transformed them

    Lovely cards Laura, really pretty results. I just thought I'd mention though, that vellum isn't a type of plastic. It was traditionally made from calf skin but modern vellum is a type of paper made from cotton & wood pulp or cellulose. Tip to prevent warping, preheat your heat gun before melting the embossing powder then keep it moving so it heats evenly and doesn't get too hot in any one area, (that's why it didn't warp so much she you put something behind it absorbing the heat and dispersing it more evenly. Also; If the adhesive still feels sticky after using the building flakes over it, you can use an anti-static pad or dust a little bit of talc or corn starch over it. 😊

      Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ so glad you liked the finished cards. Yes most vellum isn't plastic but I believe the one I have is plasticised rather than proper vellum. I don't have any issues with my gilding flakes being sticky once the panel is coverer. I did have a commenter ask about that and I think it would occur if you haven't covered the panel sufficiently and missed areas and depending on the double sided sheets you use. I've had no issue with the Tonic ones though. Thanks for the tips 🙂

      You’ve made me want to use the gilding powder I’ve had for over 10 years and only used once. I also want to get the square dies with the heart design as I didn’t realise they had that design on them especially for anniversary cards. I live on an island with absolutely no craft stores so everything has to be ordered online which means I never know the quality of anything until it arrives 😮 I have pressed the subscribe button. 😊

    Fantastic techniques! Who knew that using an embossing folder would make that big of a difference on the guilding flakes. 🤔 I tend to use my embossing folders for full backgrounds. Never on the smaller die cuts but that will definitely be changing now. Most vellum is not made from plastic. It is commonly made from oiled sheets of paper. Originally it was made from stretched calf skin but that process is extremely expensive and labor intensive.

      Thank you so much for watching Holly! So glad you enjoyed the technique and so glad you're going to have a go. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment too! Yes some vellum is not made from plastic however the vellum I have is plasticised and can warp badly it heated too long. 🙂

      Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment Tracy ☺️ I really appreciate it! I don't find the indigoblu flakes too messy however I recently tried some spectrum noir ones and they were the worst thing I've ever done. Nearly wrecked my desk. They were so static I struggled to get them off and I'm still finding them now! So I do wonder if it depends on the brand of flake as to how messy they are. 🫣

    Very clever, I have a tub of Tonic flakes that I used on a mirror I was up-cycling a few years ago, now I know how to use them in my cardmaking. I found your channel today by chance, listening to you it sounds like you have a slight west midlands accent. I might be wrong, I'm from Birmingham 😊💕

    Hi from Adelaide South Australia 🦘🦘🦘 Loved your quick but highly explanatory video & I Subscribed. I have been experimenting with my gilding flakes. Hope there's an alternative to the hard foam to burnish the flakes onto the double sided sheets. I have rolls of it as well & should use some. Looking forward to creating 💖⭐❄️🍁🌼 shapes & embossing patterns onto them & the gilding. Inspired! Thank you so much! 👏👏👏🙏🥰☕🌹

I have a video coming up in the next week or two that shows that exact process so I hope you find that helpful when it's uploaded too. Thank you so much for subscribing ☺️

    Interesting use of gilding flakes with adhesive sheets. I have a similar looking product called shaved ice by Stampendous. Can it be used in the same way? Can it be tinted?

      Thank you so much for watching Maureen. Yes you can definitely use adhesive sheets with the shaved ice. As for it being tinted I think you could tint a collage medium first and then mix the shaved ice in and that would tint it but I'm not sure you can tint the shaved ice directly...maybe with alcohol inks?

    Thank you so much for the video! Do you ever have issues with the gilding flakes rubbing off and the adhesive being exposed again? I've had this issue multiple times and have taken to covering my gilded diecuts with glue to seal them, but if you have a better method, I would love to know what it is. Thank you again for the great video!

      Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ I personally haven't had that issue but that's a great way to seal it to stop that if you do. I would imagine it depends on the adhesive sheets you are using. Perhaps if the adhesive isn't very strong that can cause the flakes to come off. Also if you've not burnished them well enough into the adhesive too. Perhaps try different adhesive sheets. I do find the tonic studio ones to be very good and sticky. Hope that helps!

    I've used this technique quite a few times. The results are lovely, BUT.. after going through the embossing folder, the die cuts are tacky. No amount of drying time gets rid of the tackiness. It's as if the pressure of the embossing folder going through my machine has forced the glue through the gilding flakes. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any suggestions on how to solve this issue?

      Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment ☺️ personally I haven't had that issue with my die cuts. Perhaps it's the adhesive sheets you're using or possibly the gilding flakes not completely covering the adhesive sheet completely? I would suggest trying another brand and seeing if that solves the issue for you. Hope that helps. ☺️

      Hi Louise, maybe check your device isn't on mute for audio or that the mute symbol on UA-cam isn't selected. There is definitely sound in the video and no one else has had any issues. Let me know how you get on.
