Christmas card - Hot foiling pen - Couture Creations

Hello everyone today I have created another Merry Christmas Card using the Hot Foiling Pen to created a foiled unique background with Heat Activated foils and Stencils.

Including 3 techniques 1. Hot foiling pen with stencils to create a unique background. 2. creating a foiled word sentiment with die cut sentiments and layering them on top of each other with glue and then using the GoPress and Foil machine to add a layer of fabulous Red Hologram foil. 3. Adhering Double side tape (DieCut N Bond) onto cardstock and layering a sheet of foil over the top to create a wonderful Hologram foiled card stock background. I created two cards using these techniques - Thanks for watching :)

Cherished Layout

 Hello everyone, It's Adriana here for today and I am sharing another scrapbooking layout using the BLOOMING FRIENDSHIP collection.. I have created a few pretty layouts with the collection but today I decided to create a masculine themed layout. Using some of the papers and the sticker sticker from the Collection pack.

The photo is of my nephew when he was about 2 years old.

I created the background by stamping with the the stampset from this collection - Background and borders stamp set. 

Cherished Layout by Adriana 

Using the cogs from the the sticker sheet which is included in the BLOOMING FRIENDSHIP Collection Pack CO728099. Adding some chipboard Cogs inked with Card Deco Bronze Pigment inks.

Adding a tag from the paper pad "YOU MAKE ME SMILE" sentiment is lovely.

Adding the word CHERISHED from the Ephemera packet.

Adding also the banners under the photo from the Sticker sheet.

Splatter of Alcohol inks - CO727887 Metallic Ice Blue around the background for extra texture.

Thanks for joining me today

Take care XX

Australiana Christmas Cards with Adriana Bolzon

Hello and welcome back... Adriana here today and I have been creating some Christmas cards to send to my overseas family and friends. 
I have created them with an Australiana theme and using Couture Creations
SWEEPING PLAINS COLLECTION 
teamed up together with the New
THE GIFT OF GIVING 
Christmas collection these are a perfect combination of
papers, dies, ephemera and stamping to create my Australiana Christmas Cards..

I created a couple of them, some are really easy and some involve a little bit of
stamping and layering.

The ephemera collection 
CO727908 The gift of Giving Sentiment Set have the most perfect 
sentiments to add to any cards..


Holiday Greetings by Adriana Bolzon




Layering some ephemera images from the
The Gift of Giving CO727909 ephemera collection, these images are so beautiful.

The papers are from the small paper pad CO727896 - 6.5" x 6.5" and the postcard
is from the The Gift of GivingCollection pack CO727895 
(there are 6 postcards in the collection pack)

Adding a stamp sentiment from the Fair Dinkum mini stamp set
from the "Sweeping Plains" collection CO727989 with the word "G'DAY"




Using Mirror Board Vintage GOLD to cut
the The Gift of Giving DIES CO727918 The Gift of Giving -Holly Sprig mini die
CO727917 The Gift of Giving - Holly Corner Frame mini die







for my second card "MERRY CHRISTMAS" card
I created the background with the papers from the small 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad from the
SWEEPING PLAINS collection..CO727967




Adding a foiled oval frame using the GoPress & Foil machine, 
I then stamped and coloured the eucalyptus leaves, kookaburra and flowers..
CO727984 Sweeping Plains Kookaburra mini stamp and die set
CO727985 Sweeping Plains Eucalyptus mini stamp and die set,

adding the
stamped word Sweeping Plains "G'DAY MATE" from the Fair Dinkum mini sentiment stamp CO727989

How cute is that Kookaburra !! - I coloured him, flowers and leaves with watercolour pencils and ink.



I also added a CO727920 The Gift of Giving MERRY CHRISTMAS die cut with Vintage Gold Mirror board in the top right hand corner.





Here are two more cards using Papers for the background from the 6.6 x 6.5 small paper pad from the SWEEPING PLAINS collection and just adding the word ephemera sentiment collection from the Sentiments collection of the - The gift of Giving - Ephemera set CO727908.
These are quick and easy to create layering the elements with doubled sided foam tape.

The Gift of Giving - Mini die cut Holly sprig CO727918

Discover Layout - New adventures

Hi everyone welcome back and thanks for stopping by.. 
Today, I am sharing another easy scrapbook layout using the new release 
" NEW ADVENTURES"  collection from Couture Creations

This layout includes a photo of me taken last year in the German /Swiss Alps
It was such a nice and calm day on top of the world. You could see forever over the valley below. Using the papers, stamping and some foiled embellishments.

DISCOVER layout with Adriana Bolzon

The Background is from one sheet of the 12 different double sided papers
" NEW ADVENTURES"  CO7277 63  Sheet#9 

Adding some stencilling / stamping randomly around the page

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 "DISCOVER" and also some cog chipboards.

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. 

Foiling the CO727792 Snapshot cut & create die with Rose gold foil. 
That's so cute. 

Until next time
Take care and see you soon !!

March Challenge - ATC's

Adriana here today and  WELCOME BACK to the Couture Creations blog,
is my turn this month for our monthly challenge, I hope you can join in on a bit of crafting fun. For this month the challenge is to create a set of ATC.
What are ATC's ????? 

Artist trading cards or their common known names at (ATCs) 

is an art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vänçi Stirnemann back in 1997. 

Artist trading cards are 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches in size

(64 mm × 89 mm) in size, the same format as modern trading cards or baseball cards.

They are self-made unique works or small series, signed and dated on the reverse 

by the artist, some people even exchange them and collect them 

when people participate at a special event or show. Like retreats, special all day events and
cruises, they act as a memento of their time together. 

I have created a set of ATC's

using the Couture Creations Alcohol inks and

adding some stamping and with a touch of foiling, of course..

I also have created another set of the same ones 
 with the New collection of papers

PEACEFUL PEONIES

using papers - touch of stamping and inking

So I hope you can join in the fun and create a set of three ATC

you can use any papers, ephemera, dies, hot foil stamps and stamps from 
any Couture Creations collections. It's also a great way to 
use of leftovers from your crafting stash.
