Stina's September Kit Projects

Hi everyone!
Time for me, Stina, to show you some of my projects made with the gorgeous September kit!

Personal Supplies: cardstock craft, black ink

My first layout is a really cute one with baby pink, black and kraft colors. I love the color resist die-cuts I've used on this layout. They are so useful. For this project I used products from the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on, the Mixed Media Kit, the Card kit and the Flower Add-on.



    Personal Supplies: Chameleon pens

On my second layout I started by coloring the patterned paper and then moved on to embellish it. For this project I used products from the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on and the Flower Add-on.





 Personal Supplies: White cardstock

This layout is really girly and cute. I used a lot of die-cuts from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. For this project I used products from the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on and the Mixed Media Kit.




     Personal Supplies: chipboards

Finally, I've made 4 simple cards. The base to these cards comes from the Card Kit. For this project I used products from the Main Kit, the Embellishment Add-on, the Mixed Media Kit, the Card kit and the Flower Add-on. Here are some close-ups of the cards.




Thanks for visiting today!
Love, Stina

Elena's August Mixed Media Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today I want to inspire you with my new box , made with the August Main Kit.

First I covered my box with black acrylic paint.

I cuted two pieces of Dovecraft Bohemian paper and a сircle for the box cap.

Then sticked them down.

I cuted a bird from the Dovecraft Bohemian paper, glued it to the black cardstock and cuted it again.

Then I glued my bird to the cup, and added a flower from the August Main Kit.

I glued another bird on the other side.

I fussy cut a lot of butterfly and added them to my box. I also added some Bohemian Sequins. I covered my box with Silks paint to make it shining.

And some close-ups:



Thanks for stopping by today! The August Kit is absolutely wonderful and I had a really fun time creating with this kit! I hope you'll do the same!

Dana's September Kit Projects

Hi! Dana here today sharing the projects I created with the C'est Magnifique September Kits. I had a blast working with the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Hello Lovely collection. This collection is definitely on trend! I used items from the Main Kit, Flower Add-On, Embellishment Add-On and the Mixed Media Kit for my projects this month.

Personal Supplies: Prima Stencil

This layout features a photo of my oldest daughter, Claire. I mixed the C'est Magnifique Pale Peacock Paint from the Mixed Media Kit with Whipped Spackle and spread it over a Prima stencil to build up some texture on the background of this page. I then added a splash of bright orange using the C'est Magnifique Melon Mist from the Mixed Media Kit.


I cut flowers from the patterned papers in the Main Kit and mixed them with die-cuts and flowers from the Embellishment and Flower Add-Ons to frame my photo.


I found this quote on the bottom of one of the patterned papers from the Main Kit and loved it and just had to add it to this layout. The quote reads; "The whisper of a pretty girl can be heard of the roar of a lion."


This layout features a photo of my Niece Avalynn. She recently had her first ballet recital and was absolutely adorable in her costume!


The embellishments in the kits are so fun! I surrounded my photo with a mix of die-cuts, wood veneer words, fussy cut designs, flowers, ribbon and lace.


I cut several circle designs from the patterned paper and embellished them with enamel dots for a fun design element along the side of the page.


This large white feather butterfly is one of my favorite items from the kit. It has a fantastic glittery sparkle in real life!

Personal Supplies: Black Ink

I took this group of silly photos of my oldest daughter and my Nephew Dylan on a recent family vacation. These kids were two peas in a pod all week! This sweet boy looks so much like my brother it blows my mind. These photos really take me back to my childhood memories of all the great times I had with my brother.


I created my own patterned paper with the Prima Crackle Stamp from the Mixed Media Kit and some black ink. I made the title spot with a die-cut, a fussy cut heart and a flower.


This is my favorite layout of the bunch and features a photo of my sweet Niece Hadassah.


I built this embellishment cluster with a colorful mix of fussy cut papers, die-cuts, flowers and sequins. I'm loving the blue/black/white/orange color palette of this page!


I used the same paint and Whipped Spackle mix that I spread on my first layout here along with the stencil from the Mixed Media Kit. The text adds some fantastic subtle texture to the page. I really love the selection of small embellishments in this kit. They create a fantastic delicate design!


This Fabric Word from Prima is one of my favorite embellishments in this kit and it pairs wonderfully with the polka dot prints present on several of the patterned papers. The Hello Lovely papers have a great patterned strip on the bottom of each page and I used them repeatedly in my designs like this black strip; it made a great anchor for my title spot!


Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I have inspired you! I have one more layout to share for the September Sketch Challenge, so please stop by again on the first of the month.



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

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!
