Modern Essential Cut, foil and emboss dies - Vintage Cards

Hi there and welcome back again  ...

Today, I have a decided to create two very vintage and elegant cards for the Couture Creations blog - using the release paper collection from 
Couture Creations "Butterfly Garden"   and of course, the fabulous Go Press and Foil Machine together with the Modern Essentials Cut, Foil & Emboss dies. 

The "Butterfly Garden"  collection is a wonderful collection of papers, ephemera pack, dies and Hot-foil stamps. It has a very soft vintage feel so I decided to team it up with a vintage photo - the soft gold foiling just makes the card so pretty and vintage. Using the Modern Essential Nesting Cut, Foil and Emboss dies - I am so loving the combination (lovely)

Butterfly Garden Collection - Couture Creations - Thank You Card

Hi there and welcome back to my blog ...
Today, I have a very vintage and elegant "Thank you" card using the release paper collection from Couture Creations "Butterfly Garden" 

All the materials list and products used are listed below.

The Butterfly Garden collection is a wonderful collection of papers, ephemera pack, dies and Hotfoil stamps. It has a very soft vintage feel and teamed up with the Go Press and Foil Machine together with the Modern Essentials Cut, Foil & Emboss dies. I have created an elegant card with this collection for today...... The Modern Essential dies can be used with your normal die cutting machine - no foiling required. How brilliant is that..... but for today I have used it with the Go Press and Foil machine....

Shadow Framed Project

Hello everyone, today I wanted to share a special off the page project, created with one of the Couture Creations  "Modern Essentials" Cut, foil and emboss die frames, in particular the Nesting Bracket frames CO726459. Using this nesting frame to create a special effect of illusion of a shadow box frame.

These dies can be used with the Go Press and Foil Machine to achieve the foiled edges around the shape, but they can also be used in your normal manual die cutting machine. For my project, once I cut the dies out I inked around the edges of the left overs from the nesting dies - then layered them on top of
each other. This creates a shadow effect illusion. 

I have set my project inside a simple white frame - I hope you like...
I then foiled some of the foliages with the 

Lavish Ballroom collection  "Sweeping Botanicals" CO725909 and
Lavish Ballroom "Young Stems" CO725904
Adding some diecut flowers from the C'est Le Vie collection...
Using another cut and foil die the 
Nouveau Cut, Foil "Hanging Cage" CO725846, 
this time I just inked the die with an ink pad and ran it through the die cutting machine.
