Welcome New Designer Nadine Carlier!

We would like to welcome Nadine Carlier as our newest member of the design team! Here is more about Nadine in her own words:


Hello, my name is Nadine! I have been crafting for about 18 years now with scrapbooking, handmade cards, mixed media, and altered art projects being my favorite things to create, although I have done and love all things crafty. I would say my style would best be described as eclectic with a mixed media twist. Almost all my craft projects have some kind of mist or paint on them. I love getting messy and trying new techniques. Come by and visit me sometime on my blog and my other social media channels: My Scrap'n'Stuff, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and Facebook.

I'm sharing my first projects for C'est Magnifique using the September Main Kit. This kit was so much fun to work with and perfect for doing lots of fussy cutting!
For my first project, I created this selfie page of me last year on a cruise.

From my stash: Watercolor paints and color mists.
 Using the cute ribbon in the kit I created these shabby chic flowers.



For this page, I used a picture of my daughter on the same cruise vacation that I took of me above.

From my stash: Cheese Cloth, Gesso, Color Mists, Inks, Flower Stamps, die cuts and black cardstock.
I created these flowers using one of the papers from the kit and a stamp and die set from my stash.



I love this picture of my mom and her sister that I used for this next layout.

From my stash: Pastes, Prima stencil and color mists.




For my last layout, I use an adorable picture of my daughter with her feet in my moms koi pond and with her dog.

From my stash: Prima stencil, color mists, embossing powder and pink cardstock.



For my final project, I created these two pretty hello cards.

From my stash: White, mint green and black cardstock, die cuts and color mists.
I created this pretty flower using the lace trim from the kit.



Thank you for looking, and I hope you were inspired. To see all of the C'est Magnifique Kits click HERE.

Happy crafting!

Maria's September Kit Projects

Hi!

Maria here today to share my September projects.

This month I have only worked with the Main Kit. The papers are as always gorgeous!

This is one of my favorite pictures. It is taken at Camden Market in London. I love oranges!



I made two simple cards. It's always great to have some cards on hand. ;)



These are my two dogs. We love spending time at the beach with them and they love playing around in the water. I love how the colorful paper cut-outs pair with the grey paper and photo.



This is the last day of school before Summer break.  I love the text that I cut out from the bottom of one of the papers in the kit.




There are more kits that match this main kit in the store. You can see them all here.

That's all for this time. See you again soon!

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
 Some details:




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:

Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll enjoy and be inspired! All kits are available at:

Guest Designer Rhonda Van Ginkel - September Card Kit

Greetings, it's Rhonda Van Ginkel here to host the blog for you today.  I am honored to Guest Design for C'est Magnifique Kit Club again and this time to feature designs using the C'est Magnifique September 2015 Card Kit.

"Love This"

For my first card, I loved the pretty 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.



Be sure to check out the C'est Magnifique Store to get your very own September 2015 Card Kit today! If you love those enamel dots, wood veneers, die cuts, sweet bows and arrows, be sure to check out the Embellishment Add-On Kit while you're there. There is also a Flower Add-On September 2015 Kit if you really love flowers for your projects.

Thank you so much for having me back again as a Guest Designer - it's always a treat designing with these gorgeous kits! I will be back again soon to share a few more projects with you using the September 2015 Card Kit.

Have a creative day!
Rhonda Van Ginkel
