Nouveau Dies - Cut & Ink Technique

Hello everyone,  Adriana here today with some special cards created with the brand new release of Nouveau Hot foil, cut and emboss dies 

These dies are really so fabulous that they Foil, Emboss and Die cut out - all once!! How cool is that!!!
Used in conjunction with the Go Press and Foil Machine and foils.
There are 9 special Hot Foil stamps/dies designs in the
 Nouveau Hot foil, cut and emboss dies collections. Today I wanted to show you all that you can use these special dies but just stamping them with ink and them using your manual die cutting machine to cut them out.

Here is my first card - created with the
Nouveau Hot foil, cut and emboss dies Hanging Cage CO825846
I stamped the whole of the hot foil/die stamp with
Green and Brown ink pads, 
You don't have to have the Foil Machine,
Just the Nouveau dies and ink pads and your manual die cutting machine.

Check out my U tube video on this technique

Nouveau Bodice and Butterfly Cut, Foil & Emboss dies

Hello there everyone,  Thanks for stopping by here today - I have created some very quick cards with the new and fabulous
Nouveau Hot foil, cut and emboss dies.

These dies are really so special that they 
Foil, Emboss and Die cut out - all once!!
There are 9 special Hot Foil stamps/dies designs in the collection.
It is the next generation of hot foil stamping which they will cut and foil and emboss all the same time.

These are to be used in conjunction with the
fabulous Go Press and Foil Machine and foils.

Today I will be playing with the 
Nouveau - Bodice (dress form) CO725841
Nouveau -  Nouveau Butterfly CO725847 

I just created some very simple cards with these fabulous cut, foil & emboss dies.


Happy Birthday card by Adriana Bolzon 







I created the Nouveau Butterfly and then cut it in half to create some fairy wings on the Dress form. 

"She is Brave"- card 







When creating with the Go Press & Foil Machine and the Nouveau Cut and foil dies you must have a Metal Conversion Plate - this is much thicker metal plate. The thickness of the Metal Conversion plate will allow the Nouveau cut and dies actually cut, foil and emboss all at the same time.

Now the combination or sandwich required when using these special foil dies, is slightly different when placing them on your Go Press and Foil Machine.

I have chosen the gorgeous

For my 21st Birthday card I created with the CO725841 Bodice Cut and Foil Die  and white card stock with a piece of CO725694 Rose Gold Foil.

"Thank You" - Everyday Sentiments Hot foil stamps

Hello there everyone,:)  and welcome back to my blog.
Today I am going to showcase one of the many new "Everyday Sentiments" range of Hot Foil stamps - which are available now from Couture Creations. There are 14 different word sentiments, I am just using one of them.

I have created two cards with the 
"THANK YOU" sentiment hot foil stamp CO725822 
together with the Go Press & Foil machine.






Both are slightly different but be sure to check out my video 
on how to do foil with the Go Press and Foil Machine and the Hot foil stamp. Check it out, and make sure you subscribe to my U tube channel for more informative videos and product demonstrations.

Materials Lists are at the end of the blog post.

Thank Card # 1





For this card, I simply foiled the word "Thank You"
and then adhered to the embossed card
with double sided foam tape.

Quick way to decorate your cards with
foiled sentiments




For my next card, once I foiled the sentiment
I cut around the word, then adhered it with foam tape on top
of my decoupage flowers.

Thank You card #2









Both are slightly different but be sure to check out my video on
how to just foil with hot foil stamps....

Here is my link to my video below:-
