Evelyn's September Kit Projects

Hello everyone! Today it's time for me, Evelyn, to share my projects made with the September Kit - Happy Place, and all the pretty Add-Ons!

This month in our part of Germany school will start again after the summer holidays. I decided, to scrap the photos of the first day of school from me and my children. Unfortunately, I only have the photos from my son and me. The photos of the school start from my daughter are lost on a broken USB stick, I'm so sad!

The first layout shows my son on his very first day of school. In Germany we have a very nice tradition for the first day of school. The children get a decorated cardboard cone bag, mostly handmade from their Mommy, filled with candy and little gifts, called "Schultüte." All children are very excited to unpack them!

For this layout I used the  Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on, the Mixed Media Kit and the Flower Add-on.

From my stash: ink, stencil, bandage

For my second layout I took my photo the first day of school. I used the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on, the Mixed Media Kit, and the Flower Add-on. I've made a start to finish video, but unfortunately, there are some parts black and white.

For my third layout I dived deep into pink. :) The kits contain some beautiful pink goodies, especially the Flower Add-on with some really girly pink flowers I wanted to use! I also used the the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on and the the Mixed Media Kit.

From my stash: Pearl pen, stickles, Glimmer Glaze, mist, Mica flakes

I´m totally in love with these tiny wood veneer pieces from the Embellishment Add On!

The vellum hearts with their transparency add some interest.

For my last project I altered the Classic Leather Album from the Mixed Media Kit. I will use it to store my little stamps. I made a process video, enjoy! I used the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on, the Mixed Media Kit, and the Flower Add-on.

From my stash: Embossing dabber, Embossing powder, velvet doily, Gesso black and white, DI vintage photo

Here is the process video:

Deonna's September Kit Projects

Hi C'est Magnifique fans! Deonna here today sharing the projects that I created with the September kits. The Cocoa Vanilla Studio Hello Lovely collection is so fun to work with because of its versatility. The mix of stripes, polka dots, wood grain, and floral prints are perfect for both highly embellished and clean and simple designs. I have a shabby chic layout, a simple double-page spread and a mini album to share today.

I distressed the edges of the patterned papers on this page for a shabby feel. I then softened the edges of the papers by brushing them with the C'est Magnifique Pale Peacock Paint from the Mixed Media Kit. I finished the page by framing the photo with a mix of blooms from the Flower Add-On.

This double-page layout is more simple in design, but still beautiful! I used patterned paper from the Main Kit and matching cardstock from my personal supplies to build photo mats.

I inked the edges of the patterned papers and stamped a sentiment with the Prima White Fluid Chalk Inker from the Mixed Media Kit. I created the button embellishment with patterned paper and Flair from the Embellishment Add-On.

I finished this spread with the large White Feather Butterfly from the Flower Add-On. This double-page layout is ready for pictures! If you like a more embellished page, our Main Kit and our Embellishment and Flower Add-Ons contain plenty of goodies to dress up your designs!

Lastly, I created a mini album from envelopes, patterned paper, stickers, ribbon and handmade tags.

The pull-out tags allow for plenty of journaling. The small flowers, butterflies and bows from the Embellishment Add-On and Flower Add-On are the perfect size for adding a bit of flair to the album pages.

Thanks for stopping by today! The Magnifique Mixed Media Kit, the Magnifique Card Kit, the Paper Add-On, the Flower Add-On and the Embellishment Add-On are available now for purchase in the C'est Magnifique Store!

Dana's August Kit Projects

Hi! Dana here today sharing the projects I created with the C'est Magnfique August Kits. I had a blast working with the Dovecraft Bohemian collection and the unique embellishments found in the kits. I used items from the Main Kit, Flower Add-On, Embellishment Add-On, Mixed Media Kit and the NEW Card Kit for my projects this month.

Personal Supplies: Project Life Cards, Doily, Cardstock, Whipped Spackle, Stencils

This first layout features a photo of my daughter at her 7th birthday party. We had a face painter attend the party and my sweet girl chose a sparkly rainbow design for her face. I wanted the mood of my page to match her joyous expression so I used a lot of bright colors and the things she likes best--flowers, butterflies and lots of sparkle.

This colorful flower cluster contains a mix of blooms from the Main Kit and the Flower Add-On. I filled in the cluster with paper flowers and leaves I cut from the patterned papers in the kit and some white leaves I cut from the product packaging.

I used the mist, paint and embossing powders from the Mixed Media Kit with stencils to create a colorful textured background for this layout.

My second layout features a photo of my niece. She is fearless and I have several photos of her high in a tree. I used one of the Prima photo frames from the Main Kit to crop the photo. The frames have adhesive backs so they are super easy to use.

If you love to fussy cut patterned paper, this kit is a must-have! I filled in my flower cluster with blooms I cut from the paper and a piece of rose trim.

I mixed the yellow paint from the Mixed Media Kit with whipped spackle and spread the medium over the stencil from the Mixed Media Kit to add a bright pop of color to the background of this page.

I created a small envelope album with the new Card Kit. I taped the envelopes together with washi tape and then embellished the envelopes with patterned paper and flowers.

I'm planning to use this album to send a series of letters to someone special.

Lastly, I embellished the canvas book covers from the Mixed Media Kit. To color the canvas I first prepped it with water and then poured the pink mist directly from the bottle over the canvas and let it absorb on its own. I added some yellow highlights with mist from a past kit.

I topped the canvas with paper and fabric flowers, assorted embellishments from the kit and a stamped sentiment.

I hope I have inspired you today! This kit is one of my favorites! I have one more layout to share for the August Sketch Challenge, so please stop by again on the first of the month.

The August Add-Ons and the Mixed Media and Card Kits are available for purchase now from the C'est Magnifique Store. The August Main Kit will be available on July 31st.

Guest Designer Debbie Sherman

Hi friends! Debbie Sherman here today with you!  I'm honored to be one of the July guest designers! I was so excited to see the "Old Glory" Kit with all the Red White and Blue. What a perfect color palette for the month of July as we celebrate the USA!

My projects are with the 4th of July celebration in mind. I'll start off with the table centerpiece I made for the 4th. I used a pinwheel maker for all the pinwheels and the backgrounds are made with 2 sheets of patterned paper and a scoreboard. I attached the smaller pinwheels to painted close pins and adhere buttons to the center.  The medallions were made with a scoreboard and 2 sheets of patterned paper.

Next up is a layout that some of you have already seen but thought I'd add a couple of photos with the details. This is my interpretation of the July Sketch Challenge. The medallions were made with a scoreboard and some of the flowers from the Flower Add-On for the centers.

 I've been trying to build up a card stash for all occasions especially friendship cards. I'm always scrambling for these cards!      

I created this mini with a ton of photos in mind. If you're anything like me I take thousands of photos especially in the summer. The cover features flowers and embellishments from the Main Kit and the Flower Add-On.  

When you open the front cover each page has pockets with matted cards for photos or journaling.

My final project is a layout of one of my sweet grand daughters...she is obviously enjoying a 4th of July cupcake!  I added lots of stamping and background work to this one.

I hope you enjoyed my projects.
I would love to see what you create with this fabulous Old Glory Kit!

Thanks for stopping by the C'est Magnifique blog today!!
