Card Hoppin - Gilding Flakes & Glitter Tutorial

[@jenleecardmaking]

Lots of shiny goodness! You are a brave soul using both glitter and flakes! Your card is beautiful, love the green & brown combination!

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Ha ha! Well what’s another mess when you already have one? It was bearable because I cleaned up as i went. The dryer sheet helps a lot for both too. It helps the glitter not stick or be attracted to everything around it. It’s super good for the flakes that will literally fly from the desk to anything statically charged around it. Janet

Great tip for using gilding flakes, the antistatic sheets are perfect. Thanks for sharing your process with us!!

Gilding flakes do make projects look amazing. =^^=

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Thanks Debbie. They are beautiful. I told myself I have to remember to use them more often, even if it's just a glimmer as an accent on something. Thanks for stopping by! Janet

Great tip for the dryer sheet. I am going to put a label on my flake container to use a dryer sheet before opening!

[@SugarShineDesigns]

You won’t regret it! Thanks for stopping by. Janet

Hello from Illinois. Beautiful card.

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Great recovery on the glitter! Thanks for the dryer sheet tip! I try not to even breathe when I use the flakes LOL

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Thanks. I was like yikes! I rarely throw anything out and start over. Over the years I've realized there is usually some way to recover and sometimes it turns out better than the original plan. I feel that way about this one because the shabby look of the glitter works nicely with the abstract stripes in the watercolor stencil. So appreciate you stopping by today! Janet

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Oh and the dryer sheet is KEY. It makes a HUGE difference when working with flakes. I mean huge. It's night and day really. Thanks again!

Thank you!! 🙏

Wow! You used glitter and gilding flakes. You also used loose glitter. (I think that earns double bonus points.) I really like copper.

[@SugarShineDesigns]

Ha ha! Yes. I’m a glutton for punishment! It wasn’t that bad thanks to the dryer sheet. Both mediums are so much easier to contain and clean up when there’s not much static electricity. ⚡️ Thanks for stopping by! Janet
