C'est Magnifique Guest Designer Part II for September

Tuesday greetings, I'm super excited to be hosting the blog on over at C'est Magnifique today as a Guest Designer with Part II of my September projects. I am featuring designs using the C'est Magnifique September 2015 Card Kit which includes Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Authentique papers.

"This Life is Pretty Wonderful" (12x12 Page)

I love the elements in the Card Kit so much, I also had a few extra goodies to include from the Embellishment Add-On Kit as well as the black flower from the Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit. I started this page inspired by the green card base which I used to mat my photo collage, along with some simple black cardstock.

I loved the idea of mixing this strong chevron design with some florals. I used a sheet of kraft card stock from home, then used crackle modeling paste and a stencil. I added the small gold glitter paste stars using a stencil. You will also see a few wood veneer stars mixed in which I lightly touched with Gold Glimmer Spray to blend in.

Some Gelatos were used in 4 different colors, and just smeared in to blend. After that, I sprinkled drops of Glimmer Spray about in coordinating colors to the pattern papers. I stamped using some of my BoBunny stamps and black ink.

The blue banner and pink arrow and sequin elements are from the Embellishment Add On Kit. I added the string and pearl along with the ink for coloring the "Hello" speech bubble. The partial tag I cut using a simple tag die.

"Hello Sunshine" Tag

For my next project, I created a tag to fit the cute pink polka dot envelope that comes in the kit. I've used the Prima Doll Stamp included in the kit as my focal point. She is colored with Copics and paper pieced. 

I've used a scrap from one of my first projects on this. In the background you should see a frame and behind it I've backed it with the black and white ampersand. This was a really fun project to do, I love using these doll stamps, the possibilities are endless!

I added some Diamond Stickles to accent the bodice florals as well as the top of the skirt. The paper piecing that I did with her hair is from a woodgrain pattern paper included in the kit. I highlighted some of the hair design with my marker.

The headband, bodice and florals on her shoes all coordinate to the same patterned paper. To accent the headband, I added a single sequin and an Enamel Dot.

Here's the coordinating envelope. I added a few simple touches and love how it fits perfectly! 

For this project I used a Prima Tag Pad from my own collection of items for the base, then added other papers and embellishments to it.

"Hello" (A2 sized card)

This card showcases another one of the beautiful designed card bases included in the kit. I decided to layer over the florals lightly with a few other pieces. 

The "Hello" sentiment flag was cut from the pattern papers in the kit. I cut one of the vellum hearts in half and used for "leaves" under the flower cluster on the left. To create this look, I used a few of my MFT dies and my die cutting machine.

C'est Magnifique September Card Kit

Greetings, I'm hosting the blog today over at C'est Magnifique Kit Club featuring designs using the C'est Magnifique September 2015 Card Kit. The kit features papers by Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Authentique.

"Love This"

For my first card, I loved the variety of card bases that are included in the kit and wanted to feature this pretty soft rose first.

I used the pretty colors in the Authentique Classique paper to compliment the pink and framed it with some filmstrip die cuts using black cardstock from my stash.

I've used the pretty sequins and enamel dots here from the Embellishment Add-On for September Kit. The stamping on the background was done with a stamp from my personal collection.

"Life's a party, Enjoy it"

For my next card, I wanted to feature the pretty wooden frame that is included with the kit. I've paired it with a Pink Paislee gray flower from the Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit.

Don't you just love the sentiment? I thought it was so cute! I added the metal arrow from the Embellishment Add-On for September Kit.

"Just Lovely"

This card was inspired by the card base design, it is so cute all on its own. I didn't want to cover the design, but chose to accent it and build on it.

I did a die-cut from the patterned paper, then added some embellishments from the Embellishment Add-On Kit; Die-Cuts, Wooden Pieces and Arrow.

"Happy Day... these are the moments to remember forever"

For this card, again I've used one of the cute card bases included in the kit. I paired it with some of the pale pink cardstock and used one of the sentiment blocks from the patterned papers included in the kit.
