Tri Fold card - Lovely Birthday Card - Lavish Ballroom dies

Hi there everyone and welcome back, today on the Couture Creations blog I have created a very special card with the new release 
"Cut, Foil and Emboss" dies
 "LAVISH BALLROOM"

I have created a tri foil card using a couple of different techniques with the
Go Press and Foil machine.... 
I have listed step by step instructions using the different techniques below...
Lovely Birthday Card by Adriana Bolzon











I used the following 
Lavish Ballroom Cut, Foil and Emboss dies
Sweeping Botanicals CO725909
Young Stems CO725904
to create all the lovely swirling leaves and flowers
and for the background effect I used the
Special Occassions Floral Vine Background die ULT157937 to create a
background with Gold Foiling, remembering with using normal dies
the cutting edge will be imprinted on the cardstock with the Foiling, using the Go Press and Foil machine.

To create the base of the card - 
measure, cut and score white card stock as below..



for the inserts measure slightly smaller panels
0.5cm or 50mm of each side of the three panels in back card stock

The technique and sandwich combination to foil with the Go Press and Foil machine with your normal die - to create an imprint of the die on to card stock is as follows



FOILING WITH THIN CUTTING DIES
Turn machine on
Open Lid
Place cutting die side up
Place foil coloured side down
Place card stock on top
Close lid and let die heat up for 30 seconds
Wind slowing through and back in your die cutting machine.

Technique for foiling with hot foil stamp with the Go Press & Foil machine
FOILING WITH HOT FOIL STAMPING
(I used the the "HAVE A LOVELY BIRTHDAY" word sentiment ULT158113
and also the Frame hot foil stamp Cameo Frame CO725751)

Turn machine on
Open Lid
Place hot foil stamp on heat plate
Place foil coloured side down
Place card stock on top
Close lid and let it heat up for 30 seconds
Wind slowly through and back in your die cutting machine.

FOILING WITH CUT, FOIL AND EMBOSS DIES
Turn machine on
Open Lid
Place Metal Conversion plate CO725818 on top of platform
Place Cut, foil and emboss die on top metal conversion plate
Place foil coloured side down
Place card stock on top
Close lid and let it heat up for 30 seconds
WInd slowly through and back in your die cutting machine.
***

The finished die will be cut and foil and embossed at the same time, 
how cool is that!!!!!

Arrange all pieces with foam tape around the card

Adding some butterflies and applying some glue on top of the butterfies
rubbing some gold foiling over the butterflies.
