I have gilding in my craft stash, too that I have not used for about 2 years. This really inspired me to get it out and use it again.
I love my guilding flakes! To get an even better look, try using a stiff stencil brush to remove the excess flakes. It removes those tiny bits much better and kind of shines-up the flakes. Another way to adhere the flakes is using sticky embossing powder. Super fun to use with stamps.
Barb Borja , great idea!
Beautiful results from those gilding flakes. I have tons of stickers, ribbon and ephemera that I bought and have never used.
Got several jars of gilding flakes that have been gathering dust and were destined for the local charity shop. You've just saved them. Thanks
Gilding flakes (I never knew how to use it, either-had it for at least 5 years) & flocking powder, pop up dies. Gilding looks like fun, or at least, you make it look like fun! 😀
It was quite fun.
I too have some unused gilding flakes. Time to get gilding. Thanks for the demos, they were very helpful.
☘️☘️☘️ Great cards Justine, I will definitely have to dig out my gilding flakes now. Happy St. Patrick's Day from Ireland, I hope you and all your family and friends are healthy and well... rita ☘️
This video is awesome! Absolutely loved the shot of you blowing on the gilding flakes and they fly away! Cannot wait to try this out. Thank you for sharing and having fun! 💕
You truly do not want this stuff! You will be picking it up forever!
Hi Justine, you should use a stiff brush to sweep all of the flakes out of the way after you burnish it. It is a lot easier than using your fingernails to clean out all of those little stars. Cool cards! 😎
Beautiful cards - I just got a stashed of gliding flakes , I have never used . Glad I found this on UA-cam
This video was so timely. Just what I needed just when I needed it. I went so far as to open my chocolate gold gilding flakes, then closed it. It does expand to overflow the jar and it is beautiful. All your cards are beautiful and I love the hugs cards. I didn't realize both parts could be used. All in all a great video with tons of options. Thank you Justine. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
I love gilding flakes. It's fun to send through embossing folder. You can also age the look with ink rubbed on raised areas.
Your overly generous layering of flakes was shocking. Knowing how they float on air, my heart was racing when you took out so many at a time. 🤣😂🤣
Best to use a scoochie sponge or a stencil brush to remove the excess flakes. Scoochie sponges are sold by Indigo Blu amongst other companies.
Have had gold and silver gilding flakes in my stash for over a year. Now I know how to use them thanks to you!! I’ll try not to cough or sneeze. xxx
I have all the stuff to do quilling in my craft room for years and I still have not used them. I have used gilding flaks before but I’m not too crazy about them. Your cards are very pretty. Thank you for sharing
Quilling has peaked my interest as well
Lovely and very shiny cards.
Love the snow in the background.
Thank you, Justine. I also have a jar of gilding flakes just sitting there and didn't know quite how to use it. The stars look beautiful.
I've had these gilding flakes for 2 years. NOW I will give them a try.. Thanks for sharing these ideas.
I have some copper gilding and after seeing the fun you had with yours, I think I will give it a try! I did see someone use an old clamshell case to capture the excess and store it!
Yeah, these look like lots of fun. Thank you for the great ideas! I’ll have to give it a try! 😊
I love how effective you communicate! Thank you for NOT BLABBING ON as so many YT do. Very nice video. I too have an extra large HSN box full of gilding supplies. That stuff last much longer than the fun of using it!
Gorgeous cards, looks like you had a lot of fun 😍 I love your designs 👍 I have a small pack with foil & glue, I haven't tried yet. My excuse, I got it for my birthday, and it was not on my wishlist lol ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs
Justine I think that the reason I enjoy the Resource Binder Classes is that I am forced to use things that have been sitting around or to use new things that I probably wouldn't have used. Also started using Cricut after a 3 year hiatus thanks to your video. Glad I did. You get right to the point which I appreciate. You do a great job.
Have put off buying the guilding flakes as I didn't know how to create anything with the product, so now I will buy some and try it. Love how you turn your ideas into cards it really helps to get creative. Got flocking sitting in my stash, that I've never used like some of the other ladies have said.
Thanks for sharing how to actually use these flakes. I just bought some for a specific project but didn’t wait for the glue to get tacky. I have the proper glue, so will try again.
Definitely those messy, infuriating gliding flakes!! Loved your cards, and I let my transfer gel duo dry overnight whenever I use it for my no-heat foiled projects. Thanks for this informative vid!😘✨👍🏾
Thanks for showing me another product that I can pass on. So messy. I love your Hugs cards though - very pretty. I am pretty good about trying new things/tools in my craft room but I definitely have about 20 stamp sets that I have not used yet. Oh Boy!!
Thanks Justine! I always wondered how to use gilding flakes.
Great job in showing the different techniques! I have some gelatos that I haven’t used yet in my stash!!
Love the flakes! My unused product is flocking powder. It sounded like a good idea at the time.
Great video! Thanks! I just discovered a tin of watercolor crayons (from my Dad’s collection of stuff I got years ago and forgot about lol) I tried them out yesterday....pretty fun!
I bought a Zutter Bind It All a few years ago in hopes of making memory books and calendars. I have never even tested it out! I have a Your Story laminator/binder from Provo Craft and I haven't done any heat binding, and it has a safety shut off - so it isn't great for foiling. I have watercolors that are neglected, pastels I only use to replenish chalk stamp pads, and a spare die cutting machine (I also have a Gemini and my Cuttlebug I started with). I have already purged all the paper trimmers I fell out of love with and lots of embellishments I never use. There are likely more items I could name but I ain't talkin'!
I got a Royal sovereign laminator last Thanksgiving. I also have foil sheets and transfer medium. Still not tried out traditional foiling. Tried out with alcohol inks and absolutely loved it.
I love it! I have too many things I do not use....starting with minc! I have never make any project using it and already have the machine!!! hahaha...
I have gilding flakes but being nervous to use them UNTIL now…ty. Justine
Yep I haven't used any of my gilding flakes. Thanks for showing both ideas and techniques.
Wow great video! This is something I would love to try
Love this!! I still haven't tried mine, off to my table...lol. That's my thing in my drawer...one of many sadly...lol. I loved it when you blew them out of your jar. For me the texture of them is so Cool, and I love that you don't have to heat it!! Great video. 😆😳😁
Great video and very informative.
I don’t have a craft room, so I try to use everything I own. If I don’t use it, it gets purged! But the first thing I purchased which I only used once was my fuse tool! Stay well and thank you for the UA-cam. Loved the visual of you blowing the flakes!
fionna wheatley great name btw, despite the fact that this is Victoria, B.C., Canada, I rarely come across my name, nice to see!!😀
Fiona Langlois from Australia to Canada! Stay well!
Lmao I loved this video, you were hilarious 💕
Lovely jobs. Enjoyed watching every project you created. One item I purchased many years ago that I have been able to use properly is regular foil. I don't know if the foil goes bad, but I have tried many techniques I found hete on you tube, but nothing has worked on a consistant basis.
Lori, me too, I've spent countless hours trying to foil, I don't have a machine, but I've tried all kinds of glue, embossing ink, etc. and it never comes out. I may have to buy a laminator. LOL
Thanks Justine! I have had gilding flakes for a year and wasn’t sure how to use them.
Never knew how to use this. Thanks!!!!
Great video as always thank you
Fun..so versatile..thank you
Perfect Pearl's and ink sprays are the products that sit there and look pretty and intimidating on my shelf... although I use the perfect Pearl's in a mini mister
Now I want some gilding flakes! My unused craft tool is a full set of Tombow dual brush pens. Intimidating 😕
Cool! Great ideas! Love that cute hugs card!
Thanks!
What she said, is the exact reason why I do sheets.
I have used and like gilding flakes but still use my gilding sheets, less messy. I have pouring medium and resin that I still have not used. but I am more mixed media than card making ( so maybe not relevant) but you have great videos. Thanks Justine.
I hv heard about it and thanks for the detailed explanation
With the star stencil after rubbing with your finger, could you use a blending sponge to get the needed detail?
Great work!!!
If I used golden flake on decoupage projects, how do u think I can seal it, I do not want it to scrab or peel? as I know it will affected by the time and myabe golden color will fade or oxidized!!!
Justine, how do you clean the gilding flakes off your glass mat. I’m having a time with that!! Thanks.
Going to try building flakes after watching you! I have Tonic Specialty paper that is collecting dust, I don’t what to do with it and don’t want to waste it or make a mistake because it is $$.
I I used some adhesive spray and it turned out good. What’s your input on that
I’ve truthfully never used my embossing heat tool. And i have gilding flakes sitting there unopened as well.
They ARE messy but fun!
You can stamp with stamp n bond and add the flakes
Very helpful
Cute and crafty
My fav guilding technique is to run the panel through the die cutter the pressure makes it less "shiny"? It gives a more Matt satin look.
I have those 3 jars of gilding flakes - have had them for probably 1 - 2 years ... might be time to use them, but I hate messy stuff
Loved the way you explained !!!
Also I've been working on some crystals and I'm using the flakes as the base. Now these are not waterproof and I tried resin as sealant but it turned out rustic. Could you please help me out on what I can use as a sealant mentioning specific ones available in the market?
Please do reply :)
So sorry, I really don’t know.
I have a very pristine gel plate waiting to get some use... I love using gilding flakes, especially on masculine cards. It adds some shine without being full on bling!
Mine is on its way here after moving. But with the lockdowns I don’t think I’ll see my supplies for some time
Me too, on the gel plate.
Aww, that’s too bad, Justine! 😢
i have some of that deco foil gel never used.
Omg where do I start!? I have some of that too
Have you tried dry embossing before and after applying the gilding flakes? If yes would like to see that on a video.
Use a coffee filter to catch scraps. I use the resturant size
This is just a suggestion. Wear a mask when you do gilding so it won’t go up your nose and into your lungs.
I remember blowing my nose after I get gilding the first time and I had golden boogers
Fun. I’m still sitting on the fence wrt gilding: something that makes glitter look tidy🙄 I do love the texture though. My mixed media supplies are languishing in a drawer: intimidating. I do cards but omg, that’s art!
I totally understand that. I’m starting to get a few mixed media supplies but it’s a slow learning curve
gilding flakes and me, dont like each other. lol we make a big fat mess. thanks for ideas
What adhesive do I get for this???
How strong does the glue have to be?
I have a bottle of green and red radiant petals for many years and have never used them. I do not know how to use them.
I have some “free” items that came with my orders from various companies, and those items are now gathering cobwebs. They are not so free when they take up space in your home. I need to rehome them.
Now I know how to use this stuff lol
❤️❤️❤️
You don’t have to use that much at a time and it will be less of a mess. Try with “Rub It Scrub” for a smooth finish
Try watching positively papercraft gilding flakes videos.
Hi justine!
Pls make a video on how to make mettalic wax at home
Love from india
What would I use that for? I’ve never heard of it?
@@justinehovey it's a wax used to give ur art work a metallic finish
Thanks
Oh my goodness, I cringed when I saw you blow these! I may have to pull mine out again and play.
Lol I thought it was fun
@@justinehovey it looked fun. I was just envisioning the clean up afterwards!
Gel plates and printing ink
I have cosmic shimmer gilding flakes, when I use them with double sided adhesive,after I have burnished them with a stencil brush or scoochie pad it's all sticky from the adhesive. If anyone has any ideas would love to hear them
I haven't tried this but maybe just burnishing with your finger like Justine did instead of the stencil brush, it might leave more of the flakes over the adhesive.
@@christineroberts4153 thanks
Can all of those pieces be reused?
Yes
You can use a brush, too
Faux-Flakes right?
I have perfect Pearl's and I dont really know how to use and kinda afraid to. Lol
You will love them! There are plenty of videos on you tube to learn from. ¡ten un feliz día! 😁 Google translate makes me look like I REMEMBER my 3 years of high school Spanish. I graduated in 71!
Pretty
Are you still cleaning up the flakes from the intro?
Years later yes lol
Thhhhhaaaaannnnnnk yyyyyyoooooouuuuuu
It is crazy that you posted this. I JUST pulled out my gilding flakes the other day. I have had them since they 1st came out and NEVER touched them!!! They just get EVERYWHERE and I personally think its worse than glitter. Hahaha.
I love the look but they are just not my thing. I ended up putting mine back in the drawer after several tries. 🤷
amy29048 I completely agree! I use the sheets to make it less messy.
amy29048 I completely agree! I use the sheets to make it less messy.
I don`t use washi tape
so i sold them all.
It gets everywhere!! Turn your fan off if u gave one!! Lol
Lol great advice
Gelatos and perfect pearls🤨
My golly I wouldn’t be vac them up to expensive here in nz
Just a few pieces. These jars will last me years I know that so I’m ok with getting rid of a few pieces
This looks like the same stuff they stick a bunch of little pieces in little liquid filled round bottles sold for $10 at gift shops like in gold mining areas ...I bought one but now I realize there is probably less than 50 cents of gold in it lol ...even at today's sky high gold price ...LOOKS like there is really something in it but ....nope
Try using a stencil brush rather than your fingers
