Christmas Tree Ornament by Dana Tatar

Hi Couture Creations fans! Dana here today sharing a Christmas ornament that I created with pieces of embossed chipboard. This project started out as a mini album kit. Instead of using the triangular tree portions as pages, I glued them all together to create a fun and colorful ornament for the tree!

I embossed each section of the tree with the Wild Holly Embossing Folder. I painted the front and back of each piece with a light coat of gesso and then a colorful Gelato. I highlighted the embossing with Silver Inka-Gold. I dipped the edges of each colorful tree segment in white acrylic paint for a frosty feel. Once the paint was dry, I glued the sections together to form the tree. No Christmas tree is complete without bling, so I embellished the tree with Moonlight Self-Adhesive Pearls and Silver Glitzin' Glamour Glitter Glue.

I created a photo frame for the back of the ornament with the Scalloped Oval and Oval Nesting Dies.

I finished embellishing the back of the ornament with a stamped sentiment and Moonlight Self-Adhesive Pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Miracle by Patti Hamil

Today I wanted to share a layout of our Granddaughter right after she was born! She is almost five months old now, time is passing too fast! I wanted a soft look so I kept the colors neutral with pink and a little bit of green.

Here are some close-ups of the details. I used the Poetry folder from the Elegance collection on a soft pink cardstock and then inked over it with white. It just suits the sweet photo!

I made the blooms from the Daisy Nesting Die! I used some chalk ink, Glitzin Glamour and Pearls!!!

Start by snipping into every second petal as shown below:

 Trim each side of the double petals to look like the one below, ink across each section and in the center.

Add a pearl and Glitzin Glamour around it to finish off the bloom!

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!!!

Christmas Kids by Sue Smyth

 

This Christmas layout is a little different using Hot pink, teal and white as a colour theme.

Couture Creations Jolly Christmas Paper pack has loads of papers suitable for this 

colour theme.

I little trick here is if you do not have a photo to suit these colours, simply

have your Christmas photo printed in Black and White or Sepia as I have done.

Couture Creations Pink Blush pearls sit inside paper flowers nicely

Cut out circles from patterned paper, ink the edges and follow the steps below to

create cute baubles. 

 

Snowy Baubles 

Apply White dimensional paint to the tops of baubles.

Sprinkle with white glitter and allow to dry.

Visiting the Colosseum by Kerrie Gurney

Hi It's Kerrie again with a quick and easy technique to show you

I created this layout using the tan embossing mat to emboss my die instead of using it as a die cut.

What you need to create this technique 

Couture Creations Tan Embossing Mat, Sophia Choo Decorative Die, Core'dinations Cardstock

This is how to use your Decorative Dies to create an embossed image

Use your embossing sandwich and layer with acrylic plate, decorative die blade side up, Core'dinations cardstock textured side up, tan embossing mat, acrylic plate (if you use a Cuttlebug use both B plates)

run through machine, I ran it through twice to give extra depth

Sand lightly to show core colour, distress all edges of patterned paper and carstock using your scissors.

Layer all the pieces onto page and finish off with a row of pearls

 here is a close up look at the embossed detail
