Delightful Sentiments Cut, foil and emboss dies - 3 ways

Hi everyone Adriana here today, and thanks for stopping by here on  
the Couture Creations blog.

Today, I wanted to showcase the versatile Delightful Sentiments - Cut, Foil & Emboss dies which are all super easy to create with. These sentiments  Cut, Foil & Emboss dies are so easy to use and I created 3 different cards in 3 different ways with one sentiment on each card from this collection. 









The three ways you can used them - they are :- 
1. Foiling - with the GOPRESS and foil machine
2. Letterpress /Emboss with your die cutting machine.
3. Ink with die with pigment ink and using your die cutting machine.
so here's how too:-


1. Using the GoPress and foil machine - foiling with Heat activated Gold foil  a word Delightful sentiment "HELLO" CO726950 

2. Using a softer card stock like Gold Mirror Board and getting a letterpress or emboss effect.





and lastly -
3. Using the sentiment word - I gently inked the Delightful sentiment - cut, foil and emboss die "Amazing" CO726965 with Card Deco Olive Green pigment ink CDEIPL018 , adding card stock on top of the die and running it through the die cutting machine.

For my 1st card was created a background with the new Card Deco Essential Pigments inks. I just love these Pigment inks - they are so vibrant and lush. they also have a pearlescent shimmer, which when dry looks amazing.

Firstly, dab a good amount of the Card Deco Essential Turquoise Pigment Ink CPDEIPL005 on a Non stick Craft Mat CO728828



Then spritz a little water over the pigment ink



while wet dab over your card stock randomly all over to get a good cover of pigment ink of the card stock.



Heat dry card stock with Multi Purpose Heat Tool CO723978



Repeat same process with Card Deco Essential Gold Pigment Ink CDEIPL0026 Gold








Once dry dab a little of Card Deco Essential Pigment ink MID BLUE CDEIPL015
onto the non stick craft mat - spritz a little water and with a painting brush
splat or flick some blue on the centre of card stock.



Then using a sponge dauber blending Mid Blue Pigment ink around the edges of
card stock.




With the assistance of the Go Press and Foil machine
and Gold Iridescent Triangular Pattern heat activated foil CO726063

I foiled the word "DELIGHTFUL SENTIMENT".  HELLO on to some blue card stock.
