INSTRUCTIONS:

1.             Trim white card 21cm x 14.8cm, score & fold in half creating a side fold card.

2.             Trim the patterned paper to 9cm x 13cm. Trim opposite side of paper to 4cm x 4cm to create a tag from this small piece. Distress and ink the edges on both.

3.             Use the GoGut and Emboss machine to cut all your die-cuts.  From the white card, die-cut the ‘Flourish’ die.  Die-cut 2 circles, one a little larger than the other. Put  both of these circles into the embossing folder and run them through the GoCut and Emboss machine again. Ink the edges of all these pieces with black ink.

4.             Trim black card 13.5cm x 6cm for front panel.  Die-cut a circle the same size as the smallest corrugated circle.  Need a small circle with a smaller inner circle punched out for the tag.

5.             On white card, stamp the ‘Whiskey’ with Versamark, sprinkle the silver embossing powder over that then use the heat tool to set it.  Fussy cut around this stamp.

6.             Using the GoPress and Foil machine, foil the ‘border’ stamp onto the blue ribbon with silver foil. 

7.             Fussy cut the ‘Be Humble’ sentiment and glue it onto a small flagged label. Ink the edges with black ink.

8.             Assemble all the elements as shown.  Tie the silver string through the tag hole and add another knot along the tie. Off-set the circle die-cut pieces and glue together.   Place double-sided foam tape behind the whiskey stamp, the label and the black circle die-cut. Before gluing all to the card front, secure the ribbon to the mat with double-sided tape, wrapping it around the back. Ink the sisal fibres with black ink and tuck/glue under the label.  Finish with the sequences.

COUTURE CREATIONS DESIGN TEAM AUDITION 2019 – 1/3 – LAYOUT – ENJOY EVERY MOMENT

Hello Everyone, 

I really do love trying new things and meeting challenges – even though it is a tad bit scary.  With this little project I have put my toes into the waters of ‘Layouts’, ‘Video editing’ and the whole new world of all the ‘Social Media’ platforms.  So here goes... hope you can find something in it to try for yourself.

MATERIALS LIST:

CO724824      GoCut and Emboss machine

CO725032EU   GoPress and foil machine

CO725818      GoPress and Foil Metal Conversion plate

CO725578      Thin Metal Shim Plate

CO723978      Multi Purpose Heat Tool

CO726343      Mini Guillotine Trimmer

UlT200040     ‘Chocolate’ 12” x 12” cardstock    

CO727172      ‘Copper’ Glitter Card for matting

CO727179      Black Card –  for matting and die-cuts

White card     10cm x 4.5cm for label

Kraft card      For ‘In Spade’ & ‘ Stopwatch’ Die-cut

CO725691      Chocolate Copper Heat activated foil

          CO725694      Rose Gold Heat activated foil

          CO726591      Creative Detailer

          CO724970      Mirror Gold Embossing powder

          CO725662      Goodbye Static Pad

          CDEIPL030      Golden Black Pigment Ink

CDEIPU030     Beige Dye Ink

CO721985      6mm Double-sided tape and glue

CO721964      Double-sided foam tape

Versamark, Distress tool, scissors, craft knife, cutting mat

          Corrugated cardboard, Brown muslin, string, optional frame

Couture Creations Gentlemans Emporium Collection List:

CO726843      Stamp – Whiskey

CO726847      Hotfoil Stamp – Sentiments Collection –‘Enjoy Every Moment’

          CO726853      Cut, Foil & Emboss Die – Art Deco Flourish

          CO726854      Cut, Foil & Emboss Die – Pocket Watch

          CO726850      Cut, Foil & Emboss Die – In Spades

          CO726814      12” x 12” Paper Pad Collection -  Sheet 02A

          CO726823      12” x 12” Paper Pad Collection Sheet 10A ‘3 sizes of Stop watches’

          CO726813      12” x 12” Paper Pad Collection  Postcards - ‘Playing Cards’           

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.             Cut a square from the centre of the Brown cardstock leaving a 2.5cm wide frame.

2.             Place the ‘Sheet 02A’ onto your cutting mat, using the crafe knife, fussy cut around the image as shown to allow a photo mat to slide under it.

3.             Using the GoCut and Emboss machine and the GoPress and Foil machine with the Metal conversion plate on platform, foil the ‘Flourish’ die twice.  Once with Chocolate Copper foil and the other with Rose Gold foil on black card.  Keep one of the negatives to transfer onto black card.

4.             Continue and foil the ‘Pocket Watch’ die with Rose Gold foil on black card and kraft card.  The Creative Detailer is perfect fro removing any over-foiling on your pieces.

5.             Still using the 2 machines, omit the foil to create a ‘letterpress’ effect using the ‘In Spade’ die on brown and kraft card, ink the edges with brown ink.

6.             Remove the metal conversion plate from your platform and foil the ‘Sentiment’ with Chocolate Copper foil on white card.

7.             The last thing to do using these machines is to transfer the negative onto black card.  The sandwich layers that I get the best results is to place the thin Metal Shim plate onto the platform, negative foil piece with foil side down, card stock, embossing mat, platform lid then 1 or 2 cardstock shims on top of lid. Wait for green light on platform, run through GoCut and Emboss machine slowly, peel away clear film and fussy cut around image.

8.             Cut the image ‘Playing Cards’ from the centre of the postcard.  Ink the edges of the postcard and the cut-out with brown and black ink.  Cut the ‘Playing Card’ in half, mat onto black card with a 2mm border.

9.             Place a photo or a text label onto front of postcard.  Using double-sided foam tape mount this onto a glitter card and black mat. 

10.          Mat up the ‘sentiment’ label the same way as above.

11.          Ink the edges of the corrugated cardboard strip and randomly over it with the Golden Black pigment ink.  I really love how this ink shines.

12.          On black card, stamp the ‘Whiskey’ with Versamark, sprinkle the gold embossing powder over that then use the heat tool to set it.  Fussy cut around this stamp.

13.          Assemble all the elements as shown.  Tie a knot in the string then tape the edges using double-sided tape to the back of the corrugated cardboard and the postcard mat. Off-set the ‘In Spades’ pieces and glue together.   Place double-sided foam tape behind the whiskey stamp, the label, the stopwatch and the ‘Flourishes’. Finish by tucking/gluing torn strips of muslin in place.

14.          Optional to place this layout into a frame as I have.

I really loved how the glitter card and foils really made a brown-toned colour theme pop.
