Gold accents seem to have been everywhere lately.  From fashion and jewelry to home decor and of course crafting, the glimmer of gold works with both neutral and colorful pallettes.  What looks to be a pricey finish can be easily, and often economically, achieved in your DIY paper crafting projects.  Gold foil, gold leaf pens, and gold glitter cardstock are just a few of the ways you can incorporate gold into your projects.  Don’t think for a minute that gold is strictly for the holidays, gold is now making an appearance year round.  If you are ready to add some sparkle and shine to your DIY projects, check out the 20 projects below which start with how to achieve gold foil printing at home. This was a technique that intimidated me initially, but after learning how easy it is to do it I am anxious to add more gold to my projects!
