Special Flowers "Memories" layout with Lavish Ballroom dies

Hi there everyone and welcome back, I am so excited about showing off my latest project using the new release Couture Creations 
"Cut, Foil and Emboss" dies
 "LAVISH BALLROOM"

These special dies are to be used inconjunction with the fabulous
GO PRESS AND FOIL MACHINE, BUT also can be used as a normal cutting die.
You can stamp inks on them and past them also through your die cutting machine.

Today, I used the 
Lavish Ballroom - "Hydrangea" Cut, foil and emboss die CO725900 
for my layout.
I use Phantom purple heat activated foil CO725704 
with my Go Press and Foil machine, 
then once foiled, cut and embossed, 
I then added some Oxides ink colour to them. 
They look amazing once they are coloured in.

I have created a very quick video on how to do this technique ....... 
so check it out on my You Tube channel. 
There is a Link at the end of this blog post........

BTW... I also have created a card with the same technique - you may have seen it on the Facebook page a few days ago, ---- be sure to subscribe to Couture Creations blog for all the latest collections, ideas and techniques.....!!!!!  


Special Memories by Adriana Bolzon





I also used the Lavish Ballroom - "Young Stems" with Green Heat Activated Foil CO725391 for the leaves.
I also foiled the chipboard title "Special Memories" in the 
Phantom Purple Heat activated foil. It looks amazing in real life....


















Here is my video with step by step instructions on 
how to create these gorgeous hydrangea flowers.

Bohemian Bouquet Foiled Cards

Hi there and welcome, Adriana here today and I have created two cards using products from the 
Ultimate Crafts - Bohemian Bouquet 
Artdeco Creations - Couture Creations collection ,

Together with the hot foil stamps and dies from this collection and 
with the fabulous  Go Press, Foil & Machine by Couture Creations,  
you can achieve so many wonderful layers and different results.

Here is my card for today, the list of all the products I have used to create this card is listed on the bottom of this post.

"LOVE" card by Adriana Bolzon

Using the ULT158083 Bohemian Bouquet - 
Blooming Flower hot foil stamp together with the 
Go Press and Foil Machine 


Cutting a piece of 
Couture Creations CO725359 Pink mirror foil 
for the flower part of the 
ULT158083 Bohemian Bouquet Blooming Flower hot foil stamp
and a piece of the Couture Creations CO725391 Green Mirror Foil 
over the
bottom part or the leaf part of the hot foil stamp.





The finished result is the foil flower in Pink foil 
and the leaves foiled in green foil.



I created two of these foiled flowers, colouring the flowers and stems with watercolour pencils. 
Adding some Couture Creations Glitinz Glitter Crystallina CO721971 
over the coloured parts of the flower. 
Once coloured, I cut them both out and adhering them on to the 
card with double sided foam tape.

I also hot foiled the
ULT158081 Bohemian Bouquet Background hot foil stamp with 
Matte Rose Gold Foil C0725694 on to white card stock, cutting around it gently and placed this foiled background underneath my foiled/coloured flowers, for a cool background effect.



(Keep the leftover foil for the second technique and card)





Cutting a ULT158055 Bohemian Bouquet Wrought Iron Frame die with
CO725407 Couture Creations Gold Mirror Board 



also cutting out the word "LOVE" from the one of the sheets from the
ULT158030 Bohemian Bouquet 12 x 12 paper pad


Adhering these together on the bottom of the card.




"LOVE" card by Adriana Bolzon




for my second card, cut a piece of adhesive from the
Ultimate Crafts -DIE CUT AND BOND tape ULT157644
and adhere this to a piece of card stock.
Peel the protective sheet off and place the foiled piece on top of the
sticky side of the Adhesive tape. 
Gently rubbing all the gold foil onto the sticky card stock. 
(this is the left over foiled piece of foil - the one I used to create the above card)





Gently peel the foil sheet off the, the foil now should be stuck to the
adhesive tape, just trim around the edges.




Cut a piece of
CO7256792 Blue Sea Foil, gently place on top of  
the parts that have no gold foil, these are actually
still tacky and once you place your blue foil on top, 
gently rub over it and peel it away. 



The blue foil will adhere to the exposed adhesive .






This is finished effect - I used this foiled decorated piece as a background for my second card.
