Hi from New Zealand. Enjoyed watching you .

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks for watching! I hope you will subscribe and enjoy many more videos!😊😊😊

Also watching from NZ!

Beautiful I love them all. I can't believe I have everything to make these don't have those stamps but I have plenty more. When I last used my gold leaf I had forgotten to close my window and a gust of wind blew, well I had gold leaf everywhere, even in my hair lol 😂 ❤ x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks... Remember not to sneeze either!🤣🤣🤣

[@karenaustin5307]

Lisa Horton has Electric Blue gilding flakes. Lovely effect!

[@Chrissieannie]

I’ll have to look!😊

[@jeanhiebert3425]

You're right-- when you almost forgot the bonding powder, I was yelling " No, no, no" at the screen. I just unpacked my crafting supplies after a move and couldn't remember how to use my sticky embossing powder. This is a timely video. Much love!

[@Chrissieannie]

Wonderful! Enjoy your new space!😊

[@tbate77]

Yes! These are beautiful. So glad I found this video.

[@Chrissieannie]

I had forgotten how to use sticky embossing powder, how nice to try old favourites. Lovely cards.

[@Chrissieannie]

Have fun!😊

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

Beautiful cards, love seeing old techniques and products being used. Too many hidden away in drawers and forgotten. I'm an Indigo Blu fan. I transfer my flakes to one of those small rectangular clear boxes with blue handles that click shut to secure the lid. Lets me pick out the flakes I want and stops them blowing away when I open the tub , as well as being easier to return unused ones. I will never forget a dear crafting friend doing a live workshop showing the new gilding flakes technique via vimeo years ago, it was middle of a hot summer and she forgot she had her desktop fan on 😅

[@Chrissieannie]

OMG! I wouldn’t have room in my craft space if all my gilding flakes were in larger containers! There’s hardly room for me as it is!🤣

[@kcinca5410]

Happy Saturday, Christine. I have a nice set of gilding flakes from IndigoBlu called Yorkshire Dales with gold, copper, light blue, light green, and dark green flakes. I do have a medium dark blue pot I haven't used yet but most of my flakes with any blue in them are in mixed pots. Not all companies have the nice big flakes though so there are a couple that I can't just pull the blue out of. I'm looking forward to the start of advent season! Only one more day. I made three swags out of the tree remnants and my daughter made a large double sided one. It was so satisfying get lovely decorations out of the disaster. I have lots of bits and bobs I've saved through the years to use for decorations so it was fun pulling then all together. Today's shopping with my daughter day. It's been an annual tradition for quite a few years now. Shopping and lunch to kick off the season. Cheers! See you tomorrow.

[@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia]

My gilding flakes etc are indigo blu too. One of my fave rubber stamps designers as well.

[@Chrissieannie]

It all sounds wonderful! We have our littlest granddaughter with us this weekend, we’ve been shopping and then she wanted to make invitations for a little concert she’s going to give to her family! Lots of glitter!!!!!!!!!😊

[@Chrissieannie]

@ I have quite a few of those too, but they have discontinued some of the more interesting colour combos!

[@Gidget3922]

That technique turned out gorgeous. I think I may have some of the powder on my stash, I’ll have to look. Thanks so much. 🤗

[@dianewray1867]

YAY Chrissie! Something new to me and a brilliant way to use my languishing flakes. As always, a great new tip or three from you.. I have a much loved small Fiskars trimmer, from my early days of crafting,which I recently brought out of retirement. HOW did I ever thinkt NOT think to trim away from me with it for ALL these years?!? Asses ears here! I bought a load of spare blades before they upgraded to the newer design so am set for the rest of my days for small pieces of quick trimming. LOVE the end results from you - as ever - beautiful work and a joy to watch. Di x

Fabulous and i was saying no! you haven't put the embossing powder on glad you noticed .

[@Chrissieannie]

Wouldn’t have worked without it would it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@patmoore365]

The gilding flakes look so dramatic used on black card for these two cards Chrissie using the Bonding EP. I have used the WOW one but have not had great results with it but seeing you use this Stampendous one with very successful results, and giving us a few tips of how to use them perhaps I will have another go. The little pearls you used looks so pretty as a finishing touch. x

[@Chrissieannie]

I think I may have the Wow powder too, if you try again and keep the heating minimal you may find you have greater success. It took me a while to realise why I wasn’t getting the anticipated results, but for me the melting of the powder was key!

[@annettegriffiths3942]

It’s very similar to using flitter glue, you don’t need the special sponge for this way.

Oh my, I've never heard of sticky embossing powder either. Would the building flakes just stick to the print you made with the versafine. I've Completely changed the way l make cards since I've been watching you. 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

No, gilding flakes need some kind of glue to adhere to a surface. The sticky Embossing powder is simply a glue in powder form which needs heat to activate it!

[@angrosvenor2967]

@lindabarrett7543 @@Chrissieannie If you're quick enough to get your stamps into water afterwards, you can 'ink' them up with glue then apply gilding flakes directly, if you don't have sticky embossing powder.
