As you’re probably guessing, I didn’t really mean to go two whole months before doing another one of these posts. Oops! This week I’m burning the candle on both ends, so I need all the inspiration I can get!
I’ve been eyeing gold foil all around the interwebs lately- I just really love the bright texture. I like both the brushed, directional look and that smudgy, crinkly texture. I’m dying to use it on a design project!

Are you loving gold foil details, too? Examples for ogling in the comments would be greatly appreciated!
I adore what Emily McCarthy does with gold foil. She does a great job of incorporating it into her branding projects without seeming repetitive. I love the Gala Invites by Rachel of Pencil Shavings Studio as well. Loved all of the bold stripes paired with the kelly green and gold foil. Great post!
Me too, I love Emily’s use of it on her own site!
I am so in love with gold foil, and I’m working to print a friend’s engagement party invitations in gold foil!
I’d love some tips on printing in gold foil, but no have idea where some good references would be for that!
Yeah, I don’t do much print work, but I better the process is really interesting! I’m in the market for a good free PNG texture if you know of one :)
THANK YOU for including me with such good company! xoxox
I am OBSESSED with anything gold right now, so this is right up my alley! I love gold foil, and hope to get it on my next business cards :)
Love a gold foil!!! Makes everything better, right?! -P
Thanks so much! And to tie your post together even more… Whitney English introduced me to Emily McCarthy who of course designed my new website AND to Rachel of PencilShavings who did the photo stylings and shot for me! I am SO blessed to have all three of them come together to make the amazing finished product!!! I’m giddy every time I look at the new site! Thanks again Kate!
That’s so funny- I knew the three Whitney knew both of them, but I didn’t realize that all three of them did work on your site! That’s so awesome!
Ok I have no idea how I stumbled upon your blog but I love it! Pencil Shavings is a favorite of mine as well :) Oh had I only known her when I lived in the OKC it might have been a bit more stylish :) Happy Monday!
Thanks Daliene, happy to have you here! :) Hope you have a great Monday as well!
