Gold Foil Technique:: A Scrapbook Tutorial by Julie Campbell
I love the look of gold foiling on holiday cards. It makes any project look more rich & festive. Today I wanted to show you a really simple way to add foiled accents. I’ll be creating a card, but this same technique would look beautiful on a layout & would really dress up those last minute holiday packages.
I hope this inspires you to break out your digital die cutter & try some designs of your own. Of course, if you don’t own a digital machine, this same concept would work perfectly with metal dies or punches.

I’ve never used gold leaf but it looks great, This has reminded me to ask you what sort of camera you use for your videos Shimelle (if you don’t mind me asking)?
