Guest Designer Rhonda Van Ginkel - Part II

Saturday greetings to you! It's Rhonda Van Ginkel here today to host the blog for you and share my second set of projects with the C'est Magnifique August 2015 Card Kit.

"Thank You" (5.25" x 8.50" Tag)

For my first project I wanted to create a tag or a card to fit the 5.75"x8.75" Off-White Envelope that comes with the kit. You get three. The design here includes a small open edge pocket on the bottom that you could tuck a gift card into - perfect for thanking that new teacher for your child.

I've used the pretty coordinating "Thank You" sentiment stamp here with some fussy cut flowers and bird from the pattern papers. A few layers of delicate doily die-cuts provided the perfect perching spot for my bird. The pink and orange flower in the left corner was created using white cardstock, then colored to coordinate with the color scheme using watercolor pencils.

I liked the idea that this can be put up on a bulletin board on display for a teacher's room as a reminder of our appreciation.

"Sent with Love" (A2 size card)

One of the really fun items in this kit is the sentiment ribbon, it's sweet and versatile. My roll is red on white, so I took some Antique Linen chalk ink and tinted to match my cream card stock. This fits the 4.375"x5.75" Cream Envelope provided in the kit.

I love the elegant finish of the papers and used the bright vibrant floral paper here for the floral die-cut and let it be the focal point with the sentiment.

"Love and Wishes" (A2 sized card)

For my final project I chose to combine the elegant finish paper with a kraft card stock base that I first spritzed with water, then added a bit of Colorburst in Orange, Lemon Yellow and Crimson. It coordinated so nicely in combination with the papers in this kit!

The butterflies are so gorgeous, I had to cut a few of them out. The sentiment here is another from the kit. So so versatile! A few cattails and reeds in plain kraft paper provided a bit of scenery. You can also see how the pattern papers also make gorgeous florals too.

Be sure to check out the C'est Magnifique Store to get your very own August 2015 Card Kit today! Thank you so much for having me back again as a Guest Designer - it's always a treat designing with these gorgeous kits!

Evelyn's August Kit Projects

Hi dear visitors, it's Evelyn here today to show you my August projects, made with the August Main Kit, the Magnifique August Mixed Media Kit, the Flower Add-On and the Embellishment Add-On.
I loved creating with these kits, especially the papers, they are gorgeous! There are so many beautiful flowers and butterflies which you can cut out!

My first layout is called Summer! Here in Germany we have had the best Summers for years. I love summer and found this picture in my stash - perfect!

Some details:

The butterfly behind the picture is cut out of the Prima Donna Downey Screenprinted Butterflies Canvas from the Mixed Media Kit.

My second project is the Mixed Media Album from the Mixed Media Kit.

from my stash: mists, golden modelling creme, acrylic letters

The frame and the ribbon are from the Main Kit and the flowers are from the Flower Add-On. The cute butterfly, the tiny roses and the Dovecraft Bohemian lace is from the Embellishment Add-On.

I've made a step-by-step video. Enjoy watching!

Since two weeks ago we have two new furry babies at home. Of course I had to scrap them immediately...well, only one of them: Oskar. Isn't he cute?

from my stash: gesso, mists, stamps and inks, gel medium and glitter, stencil, black pen

I fussy cut the frame of flowers and many of the beautiful butterflies.

For my last layout I did much fussy cutting again! I used a photo of the beautiful Audrey Hepburn.

From my stash: gesso, black acrylic paint, stamps and inks, pearl modelling creme, stencil, chipboard word, silk fabric,

I've made a step-by-step video tutorial for this page too. I hope you enjoy watching!

Now I wish you a wonderful week and thank you very much for stopping by today!

Second Chance Saturday with Deonna - Patriotic Star-Shaped Box

Hi! Deonna here today sharing a patriotic paper mache box that I created with the fantastic July Kits. 

Personal Supplies: Star-Shaped Box, Star-Shaped Drawer Pull, White Ink

I tore pieces of the Tim Holtz Correspondence paper into small pieces and sealed them to the outside of the box in a random fashion. I brushed the die-cuts and edges of the box with white ink.

The Dark Green Wood Shavings from the Mixed Media Kit were a great filler for the inside of the box.

I had a lot of fun embellishing the box kit with flowers and ribbon from the kit. I used the red ribbon and denim strips from the kits to create my own rolled fabric roses.

I hope you have enjoyed my project! The July Kits are available for purchase in the C'est Magnifique Store while supplies last.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 
 

Marias August projects

Hello,

Hope you´re all doing well.

Maria here today to share my August projects. I have to say - this kit is one of my absolute favorites! It is SO beautiful and it was so much fun to work with it.

I have as always used of all different August kits on my projects, the main kit, the mixed media kit, the embellishment add on and the flower add on. 

This is my first layout. Love the colors in the kit!

My second layout;
My dear friend Sofia and I, I have used gesso on the background paper and then sprayed with the shimmer mist that comes in the mixed media kit.

My third layout;
I think this papers so beautiful. I used lace ribbon from Dovecraft behind the photo and the cute butterflies are found in the embellishment add on kit.

My fourth layout;
My daughter picked these flowers for me on Mothers Day. The chip board frames are found in the main kit and are from Prima.

In the mixed media kit there are printed canvas book covers. I sprayed them with different colors and then used the stencil to get som more effect.

Thank you for stopping by today! Check out the kits in the C´est Magnifique Store.
