Sweet Happy Birthday Card by Jo Piccirilli

Hello!  Hope you are all well and enjoying the lead up to Christmas. 

Today I have a card to share with you using the new Large Joe's Garden embossing folder and a quick tutorial on how I achieved the colour on the card. 



Here's the supplies you will need.


Using the Joe's Garden Embossing folder, emboss some white cardstock.

Next grab some Perfect Pearls and a Versamark inkpad along with a fine paint brush.

Very gently rub the Versamark inkpad over the raised part of the cardstock.  Be careful not to press to hard.


Very gently brush over the wet part with some Perfect Pearls and flick off the excess.


Once you have finished colouring your embossed card, give it a light mist with a water spritzer.  This will "set" the powder and give a soft and shimmery effect.  Its a little hard to see in the photo but trust me this really is shimmery!.

I have then added my Alycone Doily from the Royal Jewels Collection and also used my Circle and Scallop Circle Nesting dies for my sentiment to finish my card and of course some hand stitching with my paper piercer from the 3 in one Tool Set.

Thanks for stopping by and a very merry and blessed Christmas to you all.

Gratitude by Dana Tatar


Hi Couture Creations fans! Dana here today sharing a card that I created with the gorgeous Endless Embossing Folder from the All Occasions collection. I have many things to be thankful for and this card will be going to someone special! I embossed a piece of metal for the background of my card and then added color with alcohol inks for a fun and festive finish.

Follow these steps to create a similar card:

Step One: Emboss a piece of aluminum with the Endless Embossing Folder.

Step Two: Color the embossed metal with alcohol inks. I used  Butterscotch, Red Pepper and Terra Cotta Alcohol Inks along with some Gold Mixatives for a bit of shine.

Step Three: Wrap a piece of ribbon around the center of the embossed and colored aluminum piece and mount onto a cardstock card base using Foam Mounting Tape.

Step Four: Cut a piece of white cardstock with a Scalloped Oval Nesting Die. Ink the edges. Stick the oval over the center of the ribbon with Double-Sided Tape.

Step Five: Attach a chipboard sentiment to the center of the Scalloped Oval die-cut with Foam Mounting Tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Spring Roses by Tracey Cooley

Hi Creators Tracey here, my daughter set me a challenge recently to make a spring card so I immediately thought of the Couture Creations Joes Garden Embossing Folder.


 
I simply embossed a piece of Core Dinations White Wash cardstock with the Couture Creations Joes Garden embosse folder and sanded the roses with the Couture Creations Sanding Block
 
 
Then with some acrylic paint and a fine paint brush I coloured the leaves, I did this very roughly to create a shabby effect. Then simply embellished the card with some flowers as desired.
 
 
Keep on Creating!

One in a Million by Tracey Cooley

My gorgeous daughter Tayla  is definitely one in a million!
She is loving, responsible, thoughtful and a hard worker. Not to mention beautiful (but I could be bias). I love this picture of her my brother took while holidaying in Kenya and hoped to do it justice with a layout that captures her spirit.

 
I have been looking for a realistic looking rose leaf for some time now and Couture Creations has the perfect leaf to go with roses. You can see on this layout the detail in the leaves and how real they look. All this thanks to the Couture Creations All Occasions Embossing Folder Jazmyne... this has quickly become my favourite emboss folder.
 
 
I simply embossed a  piece of Jet Black Core'dinations cardstock with the Couture Creations Jazmyne Emboss Folder and cut out those gorgeous leaves, moulded them with my fingers and tucked them under my flowers.
 
 
Butterflies a pretty popular on pattern paper and I love to cut their little wings out and 3D them with an alternate pattern paper underneath... On this layout I have added a bit of Couture Creations Glitz n Glamour to the pattern paper underneath. I also added it to the white Couture Creation Dazzling Doily die cuts under the photograph...
I hope you like this layout as much as I do.
 
Thanks for stopping by and Keep on Creating!

Autumn Beauty by Cathi O'Neill




It is Autumn here in Ireland, and since we don't have major changes between our seasons (never gets really hot or really cold here) we don't get those amazing trees full of bright colors! I did spot a few colorful leaves (mostly on the ground!) in a local park and brought my oldest daughter Aine along for a little photo shoot! I featured the gorgeous All Occasions Endless Embossing Folder for my layout, absolutely perfect for an Autumn layout!

For my layout I chose several shades of Autumn colors Core'dinations papers and embossed them.


Using my Couture Creations Sanding Block, I sanded the papers revealing the core, and with extra embossed paper, fussy cut some autumn leaves.


Finally, I also used the Sophia Oscar die to cut some flourishes out of cork! I love the earthy look and texture it has!


To put the layout together I first did some "splatting" with Peeled Paint Distress Stain and Walnut Stain Distress Stain. I added some subtle stamping using my Visible Image Bronte Border script stamp. To build up the layout, I layered the three embossed paper, adhering them to the layout with 18mm Double Sided Tape. To give the photo extra dimension I lifted it up with 12mm Foam Mounting Tape.


I added two Core'dinations tags, then started building up an embellishment cluster using my fussy cut leaves, some twine and the gorgeous cork flourishes!


I added some chevron and heart confetti which I primed with gesso and inked with chalk ink. I added brown stitching around the border. The final touch was the title "Autumn Beauty".


I hope you like my Autumn layout this month, and hope to see you sharing your work on the Couture Creations Facebook page!!!

Lake Annecy, France by Kerrie Gurney





Hi Kerrie for my DT blog post I created this layout for Couture Creations Blog using the new Tranquility  Dies

To create the textured doily on on the page


 I mixed some metallic mist into the the texture paste to give it some colour  


I then die cut the Amarylis Doily Die from white cardstock to use as a mask for the texture paste


I was careful to try and only get the texture paste into the doily design as i wanted to keep the doily shape


 I then layered the doily mask down again to create a second layer


be careful when lifting it from the page, set aside to dry or dry with a heat tool.



Emboss a piece of patterned paper using Jazmyne Embossing Folder and cut out a set of embossed leaves


Die cut a doily border using one of the Amore borders




* Tip if like me you don't have an extended cutting mat for your die cutting machine you can still use these 12" border dies, just run one end through the machine and then flip it around and run the other end through


Layer everything onto your page and finish off by adding some Crystalina Glitzin' Glamour Glitter Glue and Seaspray Gemstones
