Masculine Birthday - Anet #1 October

Hi Everyone, welcome to my post. I am so excited to show you my first project as Design Team Member for Couture Creations.

I have created a Triple Panel Standing Masculine Fold card today on the Couture Creations Blog with the new releases from Couture Creations:

Alpha Numeric
Cut, Foil and Emboss Dies

Le Petit Jardin
Pattern Papers, Dies, Hot Foil Stamps and Mini Stamps

Modern Essentials

Cut, Foil and Emboss Nesting Dies

I trim a piece of green cardstock to 16.5cm x 24cm. Scored at 6cm, 8cm, 16cm and 18cm and fold card base.

Le Petit Jardin Pattern Paper

I cut the beautiful Le Petit Jardin pattern papers C0725451 to 8.4cm x 16.9cm and C0425413 to 6.4cm x 16.9cm.  Adhere to green cardstock using doubles sided tape.

Le Petit Jardin Dies

I die-cut green cardstock Le Petit Jardin Dies and adhere to card front.

Cut and Emboss with Modern Essentails Dies

• Place Modern Essentials - Cut, Foil and Emboss Decorative Nesting Panel Frame (Big) on base plate.
• Add green cardstock and then cutting plate.  
• Wind through die-cutting machine.

It cut and emboss the frame at the same time ... how wonderful is that! Adhere to card front.

Cut and Foil with Modern Essentials Dies

• Heat Metal Conversion Plate and Modern Essentials - Cut, Foil and Emboss Decorative Nesting Panel Frame (Small) on GoPress Foil Machine Heating Platform.
• Place Heat Activated Foil with the shiny side down.  
• Add cardstock. Close lid and heat up. 
• Wind slowly through die-cutting machine.

Just love that it cut, foil and emboss the frame all with one go. Adhere to card front using 3D foam tape.

Foil with Le Petit Jardin - Hotfoil Stamps

• Heat the Le Petit Jardin - Hotfoil Stamp on GoPress Foil Heating Platform.
• Place Heat Activated Foil with the shiny side down.  
• Add cardstock. Close lid and heat up. 
• Wind slowly through die-cutting machine.

I die-cut the foil sentiment with Modern Essentials - Cut, Foil and Emboss Nesting Inset Oval Frame. Adhere to card front using 3D foam tape.

Cut and Foil with Alpha Numeric Dies

• Heat Metal Conversion Plate and Alpha Numeric - Cut, Foil and Emboss Dies on GoPress Foil Machine Heating Platform.
• Place Heat Activated Foil with the shiny side down.

• Wind slowly through die-cutting machine.

It cut and foil the numbers at the same time. Adhere to green foiled frame to finish.

It was so exciting to see all the beautiful papers, dies and foil stamps coming together.
