paper: Gold Foil Technique:: A Scrapbook Tutorial by Julie Campbell | pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

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.

Julie Campbell is a 30-something mom to two energetic boys. She lives with her husband & children in an old farmhouse in rural Indiana (USA), where she sees almost as many tractors pass by as cars. Julie works part-time as an operating room nurse at a pediatric hospital, but she’d rather be stitching on paper than people. Being creative energizes her spirit & she loves the instant gratification that card making brings. Julie is a part of Studio Calico’s Creative Team & you can find her gallery here . You can find more about Julie on her blog, Stamped In His Image, or follow her on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, & Facebook
