Tutorial on using the gilding flakes.

[@sachetfm]

Yes, it made sense, and yes, it was easy to follow. This is not just my personal experience but also that of a "usability and training expert." For whatever that's worth. You have given me some wonderful ideas of what to do with all the antique lace my mother had collected for use for "fashioning" her antique dolls.

[@Disturb3dDoll]

Tricia thank you for uploading this. It was a pleasure watching this tutorial, such good food for creative thought.

[@Oulaya96]

I love your work....it's so inspiring. Thank you for sharing with us 😊

[@dianehigham6894]

I got my kit today can't wait to try it out after watching your tutorial Thankyou

[@Dustycrypt]

So beautiful Trish, you never cease to amaze me, no matter what you make. Some have a creative thumb like yourself, me... I've got two left thumbs. 😭

[@roxysavannah1678]

That's really stunning . Hope your lil ones get better soon xx

[@Limor1278]

Thank you so much for doing a tutorial! I watched your last video and wondered how you had done that! I need to get me some of that !!

[@babyRoses7]

Love this effect with the flakes! Ver beautiful i would love to try this! And i hope your sons soon are feeling much better! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@craftylittlerthings]

Hi I've got the same kit as you, plus I bought an extra tub of different colour flakes and I find them fantastic, I did think I would use up the flakes really quick but was surprised how little I used. I use Chinese containers to tip the flakes back into, if your ok putting them in the pot that's fine but I am disabled and have problems sometimes with my wrists so this makes it easier for me, I also have a spare Chinese container where I have mixed a small amount of both into to mix together, it amazed me what a different effect it gave. Thanks for showing this cause I know a lot of people are a bit worried about using them and the price, but as I said you don't use much each time so they will last a while, plus they are so easy to use, I made a mini memory book for my niece and I used the flakes on the edges it turned out great. All the best xxxAnnxxx

[@alittleshabbychic]

Thank you so much Ann, you are so kind to me :) It sounds like you love using these as much as I do, I do keep in in a large container now, it is so much easier :) TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@lizdouglas1952]

This technique in using gilding flakes is just gorgeous! My problem is I do not have appropriate glues: I have gesso, Gorilla glue, and stickles with glitter and wondered if that would work. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@alittleshabbychic]

Liz Douglas Thank you so much, you are so kind :) I am afraid I am not sure what other glues you can use with them, I just use the glue that came with them. TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@DebbieAC68]

Thank you so much for the fantastic tut :), I now have to go and buy this product. hugs Deb x Hope your son gets better soon.

[@valerieharris3445]

[@alittleshabbychic]

Thank you so much, you are so very kind :) I hope you have fun when your arrive. TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@donnameeney8888]

Hi I have used my Indigo flakes today for the first time and am amazed at what I have created. they look great and very eye-catching. I used self adhesive paper which works really well and some Tonic butterfly verso dies, fab results, bit messy but well worth the mess.

[@alittleshabbychic]

Hi, they are so much fun to use and they look fantastic :) I quite enjoy the messiness of them :) hugs Tricia xxx

[@xonetra]

that is pretty cool. I have to try some of this stuff. great tutorial. TFS

[@newpsidy]

Must try these, the result is beautiful!

[@alittleshabbychic]

Renee Cassidy Thank you so much, you are so very kind, hugs Tricia xxx

[@southernyankee05]

Awesome result's !!! I wonder what would happen if you heat set it. I have got to get some of this stuff even though it is really messy. TFS

[@eileenfb1948]

That looks good. Thanks for showing how to do it. Would an old brush perhaps make it easier to work with instead of fingers. I do a bit of calligraphy on birthday cards - my mind is racing already. Thank you.

[@ritaroad]

Great tutorial! 👏🏼

[@alittleshabbychic]

Thank you so much, I am so happy you liked the tutorial :) Have lots of fun with the antique lace :) TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@racheld3771]

I have been gilding frames for many years...doing varigated is somewhat challenging. However with these new flakes it would cut down on time. Must get some of these flakes

[@alittleshabbychic]

the variegated flakes are so fun to use :)

[@anielaszymanska9592]

this is very clever and very pretty Congratulations for this idea!

[@alittleshabbychic]

Aniela Szymanska Thank you so much, you are so kind to me :) TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@mortenhansen6377]

it sort of look like variegated gold leaf. Cool! thank you for posting the video!

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

Hi Tricia, wow I'm into videos again from 2012. Wow, I've never seen nor heard of this but I'm intrigued! A bit messy but the end result is quite beautiful. I'm so glad I found this video! I'm learning you have done it all! I can choose only one or two things so I started with paper and cards, but after finding you, I decided I loved the Shabby Chic! Now I do some of both. You really have to find the bargains. I wish we had "car boots" like you find your great things at, whatever a car boot is., lol ☺️🇺🇸💕

[@alittleshabbychic]

Thank you so very much, you are so very kind :) lol a car boot sale is held in a large field where everyone takes their cars full of stuff they want to sell sort of like a flea market! TFW hugs Tricia x

[@pattitolleyparrish]

Thanks Tricia. What lovely color combos they offer! Wondering if they sell in the US. Will do some investigating. Hugs.

[@alittleshabbychic]

@Jennings644 Hi Fiona, It really does make a mess, however I didn't sneeze but when I finished filming my son asked me why I had silver all over my face and in my hair... how I do not know! but it was fun. TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@alittleshabbychic]

I hope you have so much fun with the kit :) hugs Tricia xxx

[@alittleshabbychic]

@bobbie2717 Thanks for the kind comment. TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@alittleshabbychic]

Hi Lyn, yes this is a messy process and no it does not get any easier! I do put my flakes in a larger box and then I dust over the box so all the excess goes straight back into the box :) Not sure that helps much! TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@OpaqueWhisper]

Thanks for the tutorial it came out great!

[@AMATEURDECORATINGLIKEAPRO]

Absolutely stunning. Need to find flitted glue I in the US. Thank you, Cathryn

[@alittleshabbychic]

[@misswhisperlove]

How do you get that super heavy glue off of the stamps? You can just use any rubber stamp?

[@create557]

Hello tks for this great tutorial. I was wondering what is the name of the company where you purchase your acrylic stamp holder? I've never seen those. Diana

[@jrdroptini]

Gorgeous!

[@kazeekins1]

a bit messy Tricia but the end result far outweighs the clean up afterwards . ! Thanks for giving of your time .

I just wash the stamps in warm soapy water :) I believe you can you can use any stamps :) TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@sachetfm]

Somehow my previous comment was for your tutorial on lace and satin flowers. Not sure how it ended up here. Anyway, was wondering if this product was available in the US. I did a search on Amazon but they didn't have a listing. Might you happen to know if it can be obtained in the US and if so, who carries it? Have a few projects in mind for which it would be perfect! Thanks, Tricia!

[@alittleshabbychic]

Thank you so much, an old brush would work just as well :) TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@Emeraldcitycrafter]

Can you use any type of white craft glue?

[@alittleshabbychic]

I have not tried it with any other glue, but I think it would work.

[@charlenebyington7405]

No, it hss to be sticky glue, not dry.

Can I ask where you found thee beautiful bird cage stamp? I have used Mica Flakes. With several stamps and they all turn out do pretty. TFS...

[@alittleshabbychic]

CherishedTreasures4u They do turn out great the birdcage stamp is from Kiesercraft and I bought it at a craft fair, TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@CherishedTreasures]

Thanks so much! I saw it on a tutorial about 3 years ago and didn't think to ask what brand it was. I've been looking for that stamp since then!

[@jjdearth1]

Can you tell me the name of the company that makes your poly. stamp holders. Clear acrylics... Nice handles... regards. JJ

[@alittleshabbychic]

@babyRoses7 Hi Sally, The boys are all better now thanks! TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@Scrapitydoodah]

I recently bought some of this, but OMG that glue has to be the stickiest glue ever. My fingers got stuck up and it was oozing out of the pot LOL. The flakes are so light too that you daern't sneeze or get in a draught or they would be everywhere. Definitely a crafting job to take your time over and take care, but a lovely effect. Now you've been using it for a while longer do you have any other tips to improve the process? Hugs Lynn

[@grabotte]

Waouuuuuu, it's fantastic, almost magic ! I hope that I can find this article in France !?...

[@Laceylady111]

Can you reuse all the pieces that has been rubbed off from the stamp.

[@free2danz]

may I ask how long it needs to dry before rubbing the excess off? those are beautiful!

[@alittleshabbychic]

+free2danz Hi, it only takes a few minutes before you rub the excess off. the video is in real time :) TFW hugs Tricia x

[@YVONNEJOANSPRUCE]

Beautiful

[@Becca-UK]

Thanks for reply :-) I watched closely at the end again on this vid and I could just about make out the shine. I think it is that it doesn't show up on camera :-) very helpful video. Can't wait to use mine when I get it. Do you still use this brand of glue and flakes? Xxx

[@alittleshabbychic]

Your welcome :) I have not done any flake embossing in a while :) Have fun when yours arrive. Hugs Tricia xxx

[@amylecho]

Can u use any stamp

[@Becca-UK]

Hi, great vid :-) I've ordered the starter pack of flitterglu. My worry was about the detail sponge (holey sponge :-)) the videos I've seen always looks like the shine is taken away by the sponge when you being out detail? This video included. It doesn't look shiny at the end. I was just wondering if it is still shiny but not showing up on camera?

[@alittleshabbychic]

Thank you so much, you are so very kind :) It is still shiny after taking after buffing , it may just be the camera does not pick it up :) TFW hugs Tricia xxx

[@kristijorgensen6858]

Wow! That's gorgeous! I've never even heard of this stuff before. It looks like your using a lot but then it can be used again, that's cool. Does it stay on the paper afterwards? Really lovely! What kind of blocks are u using for those bigger stamps u used? The curved blocks? I need those! Tfs! Blessings!

[@alittleshabbychic]

Kristi Jorgensen Thank you so much, you are so kind :) Yes it stays on the paper afterwards :) The blocks I found at a craft show, I think they are called rocker blocks. Sorry can't remember I have had them many years. TFW hugs Tricia xxx

You used the sizing incorrectly. You are supposed to wait until it dries and goes tacky. Your card on the right was still wet when you added the leaf.
