VINTAGE LAYERED FLOWERS CUT & CREATE DIES

HI everyone, its my turn here today on the Couture Creations blog.

Today, I am showcasing the Couture Creations Vintage Layered flowers Cut & Create dies. There are 4 sets in the collection, you can view then all HERE.

I am playing with two of them, I created a card and tag set.

With the Cut & Create Dies, remember that you can actually use them as a normal die. I have used them here in two ways, 1) with the GO PRESS AND FOIL MACHINE and 2) adding pigment ink on the the cut and create die and placing it in my die cutting machine (like a normal die) and presto you have a beautifully inked and cut embellishment. I have a video showcasing these two different ways of using the CUT AND CREATE DIES. I did foiled the centre piece of the flowers, butterfly and label.

This one above - I added Pigment ink to the daisy - CUT AND CREATE DIE

and foiled the centre piece with Vintage Rose Matte Heat activated foil.

With my tag - I actually foiled the daisy Cut and Create die with Peach Matte Heat activated foil and using the GOPRESS AND FOIL Machine - I just love the final effect of these.

Check out my video tutorial on how I created both of these two projects

Christmas time at home - Art Journalling with Adriana Bolzon

Hi everyone, Adriana here today with my another art journal creative fun page.

It has been a really tough year for some of us, and I think this Christmas will be so important for many and for me it will be all about my family and spending Christmas time at home.

I created an art journal page - something bright and flowery (as I always like flowers!! )

Using the Layered Poinsettia stamp set from THE GIFT OF GIVING to create the large beautiful blooms and using the Couture Creations Alcohol inks to colour in my art journal. I show you how I created my page in my you tube video , which is at the end of this blog post.
