Transform your projects with the sophisticated touch of gold leaf—made easier than ever. Our specially formulated materials are designed for decor surfaces, ensuring maximum adhesion and durability. These gold leaf-like transfers can be applied to the same surfaces as our full-color transfers. Much like traditional gold leafing, the delicate gold transfers can add subtle, random bits of gold that enhance the authentic look of leafing, giving your creations a truly refined finish.

Surfaces:

IOD Gilded transfers can be applied to many surfaces, depending on how they are prepared. For the best adhesion, we recommend sealing painted or porous surfaces with a satin or semi-gloss sealer and allowing it to dry thoroughly prior to applying your Gilded Transfer.

Sealing:

Once applied, we highly recommend sealing with two topcoats of a water-based sealer. This will enhance the durability of your project. Depending on which protective top coat you use, the final sheen can be toned (more or less shimmer).

If you are familiar with our transfers, these apply similarly. However, some areas of final detail will require a little patience. Make sure to press no harder than you usually do, as this can hinder rather than help in application. 

Gilded Transfer, 8 Pages, 8” x 12”

Introducing the Papillon – 8-Page 8x12" Gilded Transfer Pad—a sophisticated celebration of vintage artworks finished in a lustrous blend of gold and silver. This collection draws from 19th-century publishing ephemera, including bookplate logos, ornate motifs, labels, typography, and a charming series of birdcage illustrations. The mix of imagery blends both refined detail and playful character, all elevated by the metallic finish.

Papillon layers beautifully across a range of surfaces and can be used to create striking focal points or subtle gilded accents. The birdcages pair especially well with floral collections like Madeleine, allowing for elegant, mixed-style compositions. Whether applied to books, trays, décor pieces, or mixed-media artwork, this transfer adds a refined metallic touch that complements both vintage and modern projects.
