Candy Bottle by Pam Bray

 

Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is Thursday....but it is never to late to make a party favor or two....so today I would like to share with you the Candy Bottle I made to place at each guest place  setting.

 

I started with a small bottle and filled it with candy

 

 

Taking some pretty pattern paper that I used a decorative die on I placed Double Sided Tape on each piece and set them to one side

 

 

 I ran a piece of Core'dinations paper through my embossing machine using the

Endless Embossing Folder

 

 sanding it off lightly with my Sanding Block

 

I added the borders that I previously prepared to the embossed piece. 

 

 

Placing a piece o the 18mm x 50mm Double Sided Tape at the end and a few pieces on the back side of the embossed band

 

 

This will help secure it to the bottle and make a nice finished closure to the border band when you place it around the bottle

 

Cut one of the Scallop Circles from pretty pattern paper and place on the lid o the bottle with your Double Sided Tape

 

 

Embossing a few of the leaves using the Endless Embossing Folder, sand them with your Sanding Block and fussy cutting each leaf out, setting them to one side to use on your Candy Bottle lid

 

 

Cut out several of the Sunflower from the Sunflower Nesting Die, spray with water, wad them up and allow them to dry completely

 

 

Add the leaves that you had set to one side to the top of the bottle, glue your Sunflower pieces that you have straighten up a bit to the top of the lid, make sure to keep them scrunched up....add a bronze gemstone to the center. 

 

 

Wrap the brim of the lid with some pretty ribbon, add a few tags or even your guest name to the bottle and place at each of your table setting or give away after the days event.

 

I hope you have a fabulous and joyous Thanksgiving.

Hugs Pammejo

Merry Christmas by Pam Bray

 

Time to think about making your Christmas Cards and other family gifts...so what better way but than to get your Couture Creation Nesting Dies out along with the Wrapped in Joy Collection to make up a few cards....that is what I did when I made my Merry Christmas Card to share with you today.

 

I started by taking a rectangle piece of paper and using the smallest of the Nesting Circles I placed it on my cutting mat to make my first circle....

 

 I proceed til I had three circles cut...to help them stay in line I used a bit of washi tape just to hold it into place.

 

 I cut two scallop borders using my Nesting Scallop Retangles...

 

 

Placed them in my Moonlit Berries Embossing Folder and embossed....

 

 and sanded them with my Sanding Block to help expose the core center....

 

 

 After I had placed my papaer pieces on my cream card base using Couture Creations two sided tape I placed the circles that I had previous cut back on to the card front with Mounting Foam Tape...I love using double sided paper...this makes this technique so easy to do.

 

 Here is a closer look the the circles on pop dots....

 

Love how the scallop border that has been embossed gives a bit more dimension to my card front. 

 

I want the inside of my card to be as special as the front, so here is a peek at the inside, I placed the angel sicker to the bottom using Mounting Foam Tape from Couture Creations...I hope you try making a special inside of your cards.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my first Merry Christmas card of the season and am looking forward to making my other holiday decorations this year.

Hugs Pammejo

Christmas Lyrics Card by Pam Bray

Pam here today on the Couture Creations Blog sharing with you the Christmas Lyrics Embossing Folder from the Wrapped in Joy Collection and Sophia Eberjey Die.....

 

I began by first running my Christmas Lyrics and a piece of Core'dinations burgundy paper.....

 

 sanding it off lightly with my Couture Creations Sanding Block.

 

I placed a piece of dark teal distress paper to the top of a cream 5 x 6 1/2 card base. I added Couture Foam Mounting Tape to the Christmas Lyrics piece that I had attached to some pattern paper.

 

Die cut two fun Santa embellishment from your pattern paper using Couture Creations Circle Nesting Dies....

 

 and a beautiful Eberjey Die cut from an accompanying paper.

 

Wrap some teal twill ribbon and loosely tie a bow, place the Eberjey die cut to the top of the ribbon, and attach one of the cut Santa embellishments to the top of Eberjey die with Couture Creations Double Sided Tape....this will keep both pieces in place.

 

For the second embellishments place on the first with your Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape and then tie your bow so it is closer to the bottom of the Santa embellishment. Mark sure to trim you ribbon with your Precision Scissors.

 

I added Couture Creations Teal Gemstones to the top of the Eberjey die cut and one at the bottom of the distress Christmas Lyrics piece. I hope you check out the whole Wrapped in Joy Collection at Couture Creations.

Hugs Pammjeo

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

Seasons Greetings by Pam Bray

 

Season's Greetings, it is Pam here today to share with you my Season's Greeting Card using Moonlit Berries Embossing Folder from Couture Creations Wrapped in Joy Collection.

 

 

I started by running a piece of Core'dinations sage green paper using the Moonlit Berries Embossing Folder, sanding it off with my Couture Creations Sanding Block. 

 

Repeating with a piece of burgundy paper, sanding it also.

 

 

I placed the embossed sage green piece and pattern paper to the top of my white card base, placing my burgundy embossed piece on top with Couture Creations Foam Tape to give dimension to my card. 

 

 

 Here is a closer look at the two embossed pieces together.

 

Also...a closer look at the pretty bow that I wrapped around my card front, tied, added some stick pins and placing my Well Worn Tag on top with more of Couture Creations Foam Tape. 

 

Thanks for joining us today at Couture Creations!

Hugs Pammejo
