Enjoy card - Gentleman's Emporium collection

Hi there and welcome back ...It' Happy Friday and let's go out with a bang !!
It's been a busy week but looking forwards to the weekend - and school holidays - hooray !!!!

Today, I have an different card created with the new release paper collection from Couture Creations Gentleman's Emporium, 

These papers are very masculine themed ones, but I created my card with a delicate twist - adding some flowers from my endless stash. Adding some foiled butterflies and I am happy with the result. What do you think??

Thinking out side the normality - whatever normal is !! LOL
Creating with what normally is masculine colours - I created my card with a touch of my feminine side ! Hope you like it , have a great weekend !!

ENJOY card




Foiling the CO726854 PocketWatch Cut, Foil and Emboss die with Vintage gold foil onto some of the Gentleman's Emporium papers. Foiling the sentiment word "Enjoy every Moment" from the Hot foil sentiment collection CO726847.

Also foiling the butterflies from the 
Modern Essential Cut, Foil & Emboss die CO726467

I think the tones of the brown and blues really go well with each other.

Happiness Layout with "Seaside & Me"

Hello there everyone,  Adriana  here again with another project using the new SEASIDE & ME collection I have created a layout using some of the papers from the "Seaside & Me" 12x12 papers together with some of the dies and stamps from this wonderful collection. Full list of materials at the end of the blog post.



I created my page with papers from the  "Seaside & Me" 12x12 paper pad. 
Stamping the bottom half of my page with the 
"Seaside & Me" mini stamp Coral Mini stamp CO726155. Adding some watercolour pencils to the coral.
I also cut some dies of "Seaside & Me" Branching coral die CO726172 & a couple of the Coral Reef Background die CO726171 
which I placed underneath and around my photo and the clusters of flowers.

Oh!!!  by the way - those flowers are made with Couture Creations - White Foamiran Foam sheets CO726143 and flower die. They are so pretty and so easy to make. Adding a bit of colour in the centre of each petal foam before adhering them all together.

"Happiness" layout by Adriana Bolzon



Using the Couture Creations Go Press and foil machine together with some of the hot foil stamps. "Happiness" hot foil stamp CO725826. I foiled this sentiment on Clear Acetate sheet. I also used the "Seaside & Me" By the Seashore hot foil stamp CO726184 and foiled that on clear acetate as well - you can see it tucked under my photograph.






Using some Couture Creations Embossing Paste CO724870 
with the C'est La Vie Background stencil CO725772, 
I applied some white glitter flakes while the paste was still wet to give it a little sparkle.

Part of the second round of Auditions for

paper collection, called "BOHO DREAMS" with step by step instructions

with photographs, tips and techniques.

I have been super, duper Lucky to be part of this wonderful Design Team for a few

Being on this Design Team is a dream come true, so I do hope that

So, when I received my package from Kaisercraft, the other day

and fell in love with these new papers, 

I created a layout with some of the papers, stickers sheet and added some Kaisercraft products and goodies to highlight the papers.

I wish everyone the best of luck and fingers crossed for

some of my scrappy, crafting and happy friends. 

So here goes............. my Auditioning blog post for the

Contributing Kaisercraft Design Team 2016-17.

"Forever Free & Forever Young" layout by Adriana Bolzon

 Created with the BOHO DREAMS paper collection.

 The BOHO DREAMS papers are soon to be released in June this year. So you will all get a sneeky, peeky at this wonderful new paper collection. This paper collection is inspired by the Bohemian hippie influence, with the ideas of a carefree life and day-dreaming days. I have this photo of my daughter when she was younger, we went to a nearby park. Scattered around, in this park are these massive large fig trees. The trees are featured in all the photos I took that day, they made a great back drop for my photos. The park is such a peaceful place and we took many photos of the trees and of course, many photos of my daughter. 

The BOHO DREAMS papers are designed in natural earthy tones with touches of orange, green, browns and hint of blue denim. The flowers are so pretty in this collection, I had to fuzzy cut them out. I love the touches of feather icons and the dream-catcher images are really lifelike and pretty. I wanted to capture the other elements of this paper collection, in particular the innocent face images with the forever young theme. My Flower Child. 

A full list of the Kaisercraft products I used to create this layout are all listed below at the end of this post. But here are the main Kaisercraft Products that I wanted to highlight.

To create this page - my step by step tutorial.

Trim the edges of the Boho Dreams - P2108 Young paper  to 29cm x 29cm.

Distress the edges of the paper with a distress tool and using a blending tool and Kaisercraft IP723 Vintage ink pad, ink around the edges of the paper.

Using the above Template "LOVE" IT910 and Vintage Inkpad and Bleeding tool, randomly ink around the page, using with the Brick image template.

Adhere the page to the centre of the BOHO DREAMS - Paper P2110 Free.

Again with the same Template "LOVE" IT910 and some texture paste, gently rub the paste over the template with the hearts image, on to the page, randomly in the centre and leave to dry. 

Dip a large water brush into the KaiserMists bottle and sprinkle the colour gently in the centre of the page. Tapping your finger against the brush, allowing sprinkles of the colours splatter over the page. 

(Tip: Use the Mist KM111White first, then the KM107 Peach & lastly the Mist colour KM106 Denim.)

Cut square pieces of paper from the Boho Dreams collection
P2110 - Free - cut to size -12cm x 12cm
P2111 Wanderer - cut to size -11.5cm x 11.5cm
P2111 Wanderer (reversed side)- cut to size - 11cm x 11cm
Distress all the edges with a distress tool
Ink edges with Vintage Ink pad.

Trim your photograph to size -10 cm x 10 cm

Adhere each layer on top of each other with double sided tape.

Fuzzy cut flowers from the P2109 Wild paper, then ink edges.

Adhere flowers and the matted photograph on to the page, as shown below.
Create clusters of flowers on the bottom and top of photograph.

Adhere one small flower on the image of the young girl's head.

Cut feather images from the (reverse side) P2107 Feathers

Ink the edges of the feathers with Vintage Ink Pad IP723

Adhere feathers with double sided tape under the cluster of flowers.
(as shown below)

Cut two sets of Mini Foliage with Kaisercraft Cork sheetsCB152 -  &
Decorative Die DD374 Mini Foliage, glue these on around the edges of
the flower clusters. 

Cut 2 sets of the word "forever" from Kaisercraft Decorative word

 DD760 Family Words & with Kaisercraft Glitter Cardstock

Midnight GC101 (black) 

With the second word, cut out the "f" "re" and "e"

to make the word "FREE"

(HINT: see how many other words you can create with this single word)

Glue down the words on the page

Place sticker words from the Sticker sheet 

Adding some touches of colour with the watercolour pencils to the face image on the bottom left of the page.

Adding a cluster of Coral mini paper blooms and twine in the centre of the flower cluster.

Add the Aqua Rhinestones SB703 around the whole page.

Also using a white Uniball pen draw some stitching lines around the edges of the page.

and there you have it ….. the completed finished page :)
