Bird in Cage Project

Hi there everyone
Today it is my turn on the blog and I have created another "Off the page" project with the new release
"C'EST LA VIE" from Couture Creations.
I have created a project using an embroidery hoop together with some of the dies and chipboard pieces from the "C'est La vie" collection.  Adding some touches of foiling on the chipboards, which are of course are created with the fabulous "Go, Press and Foil" machine.

I just love this machine and how amazing it is!!!   :)


Here is my Bird in Cage Off the Page project.




I purchased an embroidery hoop from a craft store and covered it 
with natural Hessian. Pulling the hessian very tightly around the edges and securing it with the attached fastener on the side.

Using the C'est La Vie Interwined Stencil CO725773 
and
Anna Griffin Embossing Paste CO724870 
I created a background on the stretched Hessian.
Gently added some white glitter over the Embossing paste and letting it dry completely.




Using the fabulous Go Press & Foil CO725032 machine together with Gold & Midnight Black coloured foils, I foiled the following chipboards.
I think they look fabulous on the project, just a touch of gold foiling!

I also cut some various fern leaves from the

C'est La Vie - Fern Leaves - decorative die CO725764
to create a cluster of flowers and leaves on the bottom left hand side.

I hope you have enjoyed my project for today.
Thanks and big hugs

Valentine's Day Cards

Hi there everyone, Today is Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Happy Valentine's Day to you all...


To celebrate this day, I have created two very vintage lovely cards 
with the new release "C'EST LA VIE" from Couture Creations. 
Together with the Couture Creations
 "Go, Press and Foil" machine, for some adding touch of vintage foiling..this machine just adds the little extra touch of elegance to any project.




"I Love you" card
I created my first card with a selection of papers from the
C'est La Vie collection together with the Go Press & Foil machine and the
C'est La Vie Intricate Frame Hot foil stamp CO725752, I created the foiled frame, for the centre of my card.



I think this foiled frame can could be used for any occasion.
Once I created the foiled frame, I cut it out and placed it in the centre of my card.



Adding some layered hearts in the centre
and a stamped sentiment "I LOVE YOU",  simple and effective.
adding a trinket from the

C'est La Vie Trinket set CO725776

on the ribbon bow.

For my next card "You are LOVELY" I created the background using the 

C'est La Vie - Ferns Embossing folder C0725767 together with the
Go Press & Foil machine to create a raised and foiled background,
It has a very distress vintage finish to it, which I just love.




Using the New release 
Everyday Sentiments Hot foil stamp,
"You are LOVELY" CO725823




Adding  a cluster of flowers on the side of the card, which I created with one of the images from the
C'est La Vie - Light Rose decoupage sheet - C0725741 



I trimmed off all the white space around the decoupage image and trim off some of the leaves and added it under the pink rose.



I created a ribbon bow and added one of the gorgeous trinket from the
C'est La Vie Trinket set CO725776.

I hope you have a lovely day, until next time,
Thanks and big hugs

Take a walk into my Garden !! -- C'est La Vie collection

Hi there everyone
thanks for stopping by here today.
 I am so excited to be sharing a special project that I have created
with the new release
"C'EST LA VIE" from Couture Creations.

I have created a framed canvas using some of the dies and chipboard pieces from the "C'est La vie" collection, together with some gesso and of course, some gold foiling with the Go Press and Foil Machine.  I had some much fun playing with the mix media elements; Anna Griffin Gesso and Embossing Pastes, all of which are available from Couture Creations. 
So, let's go for a walk into my garden!!


I purchased a white light weight 8" x 10" ornate frame from a cheap/dollar shop and rubbed some gold wax around the ornate elements of the edges, 
to distress the frame.
Using a canvas board to create my masterpiece, I firstly created a background with
Anna Griffin White Gesso CO724871 and 
Anna Griffin Embossing Paste CO724870 
together with paint, inks and fibres to create a garden bed, the blue sky and a garden path which leads to the beautiful Gazebo.



Using the fabulous Go Press & Foil CO725032 machine together with Gold foils, I foiled the chipboards from the collection.
I think they look fabulous!

To create a bit a texture on the 
C'est La Vie Wrought Iron Gate chipboard CO725919, 
I embossed the chipboards gates with a combination of layers with the
Mirror Gold Embossing powder CO724970
Turquoise Super Sparkles Embossing powder CO724993


Love the cute - C'est La Vie French Bicycle decorative die CO725762

Using the decorative dies
C'est La Vie Geraniums layered die set CO725765
C'est La Vie Collection of Ferns die CO725764
to create a clusters of flowers for the top and bottom of the framed canvas.

I hope you have enjoyed my project for today.
Thanks and big hugs
