Explore Layout - New Adventures collection

Hi everyone welcome back to my blog, thanks for stopping by.. 
Today, I am sharing a very quick and easy scrapbook layout using the
Wonderful new release " NEW ADVENTURES" collection from Couture Creations

This layout has a photo of my recent trip (last year 2019) to Florence Italy
The Ponte Vecchio is an old bridge linking the parts of the city over the river
I took this photo over the other side - I just love the reflection on the water with the old bridge and buildings in the distance. 

EXPLORE layout with Adriana Bolzon

Firstly I only used one sheet of the 12 different double sided papers
" NEW ADVENTURES"  CO727765. Sheet#11.
I randomly stamped over the page with the
" NEW ADVENTURES" MINI STAMP SET CO727787 Olive Branch 
with Dark Brown ink pad




Then adding some " NEW ADVENTURES" CO727786 Passport stamp mini stamp around the top and edges of the paper.

Using the " NEW ADVENTURES" Olive Branch Cut & Create die CO727790
and
Card Deco Olive Green and Bronze Pigment ink pads
I dabbed over the cut and Create die and place a piece of paper on top of die,
using my Go Power and Emboss machine to cut out several beautiful inked leaves. 

I then foiled some CHIPBOARD with the GoPress and Foil machine and
CO727798 Sentiment chipboard "EXPLORE" and other chipboard from  my stash.

Once foiled , I layered my photograph and arranged clusters of flowers and die cut leaves around the my photo. 

Tucking a little ephmera postcard under the photograph. 
Here I have written the date when this photo was taken.

Foiling the swirling chipboard with the Chocolate Cooper Foil CO725691 

Just a very quick and easy layout
using the papers, stamps and Cut and Create dies together with a touch of foiling on the chipboards
( I do love ROSE GOLD FOIL !! )

Until next time
Take care and see you soon !!

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.

Time to Remember - layout by Adriana Bolzon



Continuing with my scrapbooking of my photos from our family Cruise to New Zealand earlier this year. This photo shows the coast line of southern island of New Zealand - going to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound.
The sheer cliffs and mountains hundred of metres high, just drop into the sea, it was so awesome cruising beside the gentle majestic mountains.  It was so amazing and just a wonderful moment !!!

Using the Seaside and Me collection of ephemera and dies to complete the layout , I couldn't resist adding a die cut of an anchor from an older collection
"Sea Breeze" CO724698 Anchored Flourish.
I also created some Foamiran flowers using the Couture Creations Foamiran white A4 sheets and flower die.
Adding some Deep Silver Pearls CO725365 over the page.



I also used the Seaside & Me Die Coral Reef CO726171 as a stencil and applying some
Anna Griffin Embossing Paste CO724870 Over the top, then sprinkling some Turquoise Embossing powder CO724993 over the embossing paste and heat set with heat gun.


Foiling two starfish with the Go Press and Foil machine CO725032 and "Starfish" CO726178
 hot foil stamp from the "Seaside & Me" and cutting them out - love the Vintage Rose gold foil !!










I also foiled the chipboard word "Time to Remember"



I also stamped the Seaside and Me - stamp - Starfish Mini stamp. CO726163 along the right hand side of the layout with brown inks, just to add a detail to the page.
