Taylor by Patti Hamil

Hi, I have a layout to share using some different Couture Creations products! I used a couple of dies and also a couple of folders! You can use these for accents and still get a big effect! I used scrap paper on this page, besides the dotted background. I added a couple of Coordinations tags and some alpha stickers.

This is our youngest son's fiance, and we are so happy to have her join our family!!! She is beautiful inside and out!

Here you see where I made some blue flowers with the Daisy Nesting die, and used one of the Sophia dies for the leaves! I added a self-adhesive pearl for the center. I also used a scrap of an embossed paper where I had used the Taylor embossing folder!!!

Here you see two more types of flowers made with the Daisy nesting die, and also some self-adhesive gems and another Sophia Intricutz die!!!! I added gems to some areas of the gold accent.

Here you see where I embossed two of the Coordinations tags with the Craisy Daisy folder!! I inked them lightly with white ink.

one more close-up.

This page came together using scraps and just a few accents! I like to go through my scrap pile and see what combinations I can come up with! Then adding some Couture Creations and you have a super page!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Halloween Banner by Pam Bray

 

Hi it is Pam today with Couture Creations....I love Halloween, love all the fun decorations and every year I just add a few more to my collection....so today I would love to share with you this easy and fun banner made with Couture Creations Rectangle and Scallop Rectangle Nesting Dies along with the Exotic Embossing Folder.

 

 I started by cutting 3 fun pattern papers using the Scallop Rectangles Nesting Die.

 

 

 I used the Rectangle Nesting Die to cut the journal blocks from the pattern paper that I had selected.

 

 I also cut chipboard and distress paper that was slightly larger than the Scallop Rectangle Nesting Die, once I had all my pieces cut

 

 

Place the distress paper on the chipboard using Couture Creations Double Sided Tape, do all 3 sets of chipboard and distress paper.

 

I ran the 3 chipboard/distress paper covered pieces through my die cut machine using the Exotic Embossing Folder.

 

 

Distress each of these with your Couture Creation Sanding Block

 

I layered the die cut pieces that I  had previously cut out layering them together with Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape.

 

 Here is a closer look at each of the individual pieces as layered them together.

 

 the next.....

 

 

 and the last one.

 

String them together with twine, tie some pretty ribbon around the twine. I hope you try your hand at using your Couture Creations Nesting Dies and make something fun this Holiday season. Hugs Pammejo

Felt Flower Card with Dana Tatar

Hi Couture Creations fans! Dana here today sharing a fall themed card. I recently bought some felt and have been having a lot of fun creating felt flowers! This felt flower comes together fast with the help of the Daisy Nesting Dies and some hot glue, but let's start by assembling the card.

Step One: Emboss a piece of patterned paper with the Exotic Embossing Folder from the Couture Creations Fine Designs Collection. Lightly ink over the embossed pattern to highlight the design and adhere the paper to a cardstock card base.

Step Two: Cut a piece of orange cardstock with the Fleur-De Frame Nesting Die. Place the die over the cut piece of cardstock and, using a Sponge Dauber and the die as a mask, add ink to the open spaces of the die. Adhere the cardstock frame to the center of the card with Double-Sided Tape. Add two feathers to the top of the Fleur-De Frame.

Step Three: Cut a piece of double-sided patterned paper with the Ivy Doily Die Set and adhere the doilies, one of each pattern, to a strip of kraft paper and then to the card over the center of the Fleur-De Frame.

Step Four: Stamp a sentiment onto a piece of blue patterned paper and add three Vintage Gold Self Adhesive Gemstones. Adhere the sentiment strip to the center of the larger Ivy Doily with Double-Sided Tape.

Step Five: Emboss a piece of green cardstock with the Turkish Delight Embossing Folder (Fine Designs Collection). Using Sharp Point Scissors, cut two leaves from the embossed cardstock and adhere them to the card in the center of the two Ivy Doilies with Foam Mounting Tape.

Step Six: Assemble the felt flower and adhere it to the card with Foam Mounting Tape.

Felt Flower Tutorial

Step One: Cut five of the second smallest daisy shape and two of the smallest daisy shape from felt with the Daisy Nesting Dies.

Step Two: Fold one of the larger daisy shapes in half and secure with a dot of hot glue. Repeat for 3 more daisy shapes. The leftover larger daisy shape will be the used for the base of the flower.

Step Three: Fold each of the four flower shapes from Step Two in half again and secure with a dot of hot glue. These four pieces are the larger petals of the flower.

Step Four: Glue the four larger petals to the flower base.

Step Five: Fold and glue the two smaller daisy shapes the same way as the larger daisy shapes. Glue the two smaller petals to the top of the flower.

I adapted this flower design from a felt flower tutorial that I found here.

Passion Embossing Folder and Gelatos with Dana Tatar

Hi Couture Creations fan! Dana here today sharing a fun technique using the Passion Embossing Folder, from the Couture Creations Fine Designs Collection, and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos. This beautiful watercolor effect is quick and easy to create!

Step One: Gather several colors of Gelatos, a piece of white cardstock, a mister filled with water and the Passion Embossing Folder.

Step Two: Lightly mist the back inside portion of the Passion Embossing Folder with water and apply Gelatos color to the raised floral pattern. Note: I used Raspberry, Watermelon, Metallic Melon and Banana Gelatos.

Step Three: Carefully place a piece of white cardstock on top of the colored side of the embossing folder, fold the top half of the embossing folder down and apply pressure to transfer the color to the cardstock.

Step Four: Remove the cardstock from the embossing folder and set aside to dry. Trim the cardstock into a tag and embellish to finish.

I added the larger doily from the Ivy Doily Die Set (Fantasia Collection) to the bottom of my flower cluster. I embossed a piece of green cardstock with the Turkish Delight Embossing Folder (Fine Designs Collection) and cut out several of the leaves with my Sharp Point Scissors and added them around my flowers. I added Pink Flamingo Self Adhesive Gemstones to the Passion flower centers for a touch of sparkle.

Celebrate by Patti Hamil

I wanted to do a dimensional card with some of the folders, and I wanted a blinged up look! So I used several Couture Creations embossing folders and then highlighted the raised areas with Glitzin' Glamour Glitter Glue!!! Used lots of foam tape too!!!

Here's my card!

 

I used some Glitter cardstock and made a little medallion and placed a stamped title on it. I placed it on a folder (ribbon pleated) strip of  Pastel cardstock inked green. I used a circle underneath them that I had embossed with the Exotic folder and used Crystalina Glitzin' Glamour on it.

Here you see some close-up detail!

Here you can see the folded cardstock that the medallion is on top of.

The background of the card is also a piece of cardstock embossed with the Exotic folder and highlighted with more Glitzin' Glamour in Lilac! This was lots of fun to do and it looks really festive too!!!

Pure Pleasure with Dana Tatar

Hi Couture Creations fans! Dana here today sharing a clean and simple card. Some of my favourite embossing folders are from the Fine Designs Collection. I think the embossed images are simply beautiful and don't need much in the way of embellishing. I used the Pure Pleasure A2 Embossing Folder for this card.

I colored my embossed image with Distress Markers. The brush tip of the Distress Markers glided over the embossed areas, making coloring my image quick and easy. I filled in the flower centers with Aztec Gold Glitzin' Glamour. I then inked the edges of my floral design with Distress Ink.

I selected a sentiment stamp and added the text to the top of my card with dye ink. I then adhered the image to a piece of patterned paper and then onto a patterned card base.

I finished my card by adding Cafe Creme Self Adhesive Pearls to the corners of my colored image.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
