Vintage Birthday Cards

Hi there , today I have created with the one of these vintage decoupage sheets, I actually had this sitting in my craft room for such a long time.  
I love using up my craft stash, and thought that these images are very vintage but perfectly team up with some of the Modern Essentials cut, foil and emboss dies.

This time I will not be foiling the die but actually using it like a die but adding ink colour with a pigment ink on top of the die and running it through my die cutting machine.

Inking the die with Brown ink and dusty pink ink before running the die through my die cutting machine.




Adding some flowers and leaves in clusters 
Adding the decoupage images in the centre of cards.

Decoupage & Modern Essential dies - Couture Creations

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Couture Creations Blog, Adriana here today with a very special collection of cards using one of the decoupage sheet from the Hobby Dot and Do's kits.... I have been a long time fan of decoupage images, love using them on my cards and projects.

The new release of Hobby Dot and Do's kits are fabulous card kits which are all available now from your local paper-craft store. All the materials required to create 3 beautiful cards are included in each kit.  
Today, I want to show you a different way or twist to the decoupage sheets that you can create different styles of cards with just the decoupage images from these kits (but you can use any decoupage sheets) teamed up with the fabulous Go Press and Foil Machine and one of the Modern Essential Cut, Foil and Emboss dies. 
CO726469 Decorative Nesting Panel cut, foil & emboss dies.




Using the pretty Petal Pink Foil CO725701 Pink Foil on Cream card-stock, the effect together created an awesome detailed background to the card.

The inner square was created with Gold Vintage Foil CO725355 withblack card-stock, very striking effect.  Placing my 3D Pushout decoupage sheets on top along with some leave diets in green card stock.





Here is another card using the same Modern Essentials die
CO726469 Decorative Nesting Panel cut, foil & emboss dies, together with Heat activated Yellow matte Gold Foil CO725354 - I little bit a green tones in this gold foil colour.







But for this card below
I created by background with stamping ink colour all over the background
of the Modern Essential Cut, Foil and Emboss dies, CO726469 Decorative Nesting Panel cut, foil & emboss dies. 

Gently placing this die and cardstock on my sandwich platform on my Go Cut and Emboss machine. The excellent versatility of these dies is that you can use your normal die cutting machine and no foiling required.
