Dream Boat Cards by Jo Piccirilli



Hi everyone! Couture Creations Designer Jo Piccirilli here today. I have been playing around with the 3-in-1 Dream Boat Collection that was released late last year. Today I have two cards to share.  Here's my first one using the Butterfly Notes 3-in-1 Set. Let me show you how I created this card.

Using a blending tool to mix your inks over the paper. Keep blending until the desired color is reached.

Next, ink up the stamp from the set and stamp onto the prepared paper.

Note: I stamped the image twice along the bottom and then trimmed the paper to better fit my card.



Using the embossing folder from the set, line up the stamped image inside the folder and run it through an embossing machine.

I used the stamps again on patterned paper and die-cut them out with the dies from the set to create layered embellishments. I used the Circle Nesting Dies to cut my sentiment block and added some Glitzin' Glamour Glitter Glue and Self-Adhesive Pearls to finish the card!

For my next card I decided to keep it very simple but I still think it is striking.

I used the Floral Wreath 3-in-1 Set from the Dream Boat Collection for this card.

Gently swipe across the paper to be stamped with an anti-static cloth. This really does help improve the quality of the embossing. Ink the stamp with Versamark ink and stamp onto white cardstock.

 Pour gold embossing powder over the stamped image.

Use a heat gun to melt the embossing powder.

Using the embossing folder from the set, line up the stamped image inside the folder and run it through an embossing machine.

I used the stamps again on patterned paper and die-cut them out with the dies from the set to create layered embellishments.

I also cut out a smaller flower with the smaller flower die and layered it on top of the larger flower, attaching it to the card with a pearl brad. Stamp a sentiment onto the front of the card, mat on black cardstock and attach to a white card base to finish.

Thanks for letting me share!

Until next time,

Jo

Valentine Candy Pillow Box with Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today sharing how to create this sweet Candy Pillow Box. Start by making the box. I actually have a Pillow Punch Board from WRMK so it makes it easier to make, but I know there are other avenues for a similar pattern.

Cut two pillow boxes from two different pieces of patterned papers from the Pillow Box Punch Board. Fold one of the pillow boxes into shape, add Double Sided Tape to edge, and seal closed.

Fold one end of the pillow box closed. Place 3 mini candy bars inside the pillow box through the open end and fold closed.

Trim off the curved ends of the second pillow box to form a belly band. Place a small Scallop Circle Nesting Die in the center of the belly band and run it through a die-cutting machine. Note: This cut will create a small window in the band, allowing the patterned paper of the pillow box to show.

Place the belly band inside the Confetti Embossing Folder and run through a die-cutting machine.

Lightly sand the embossed belly band with a Sanding Block. Wrap the belly band around the pillow box and decorate.

I hope you enjoy making candy containers for Valentine's Day and hope it will be a sweet day for all!

Hugs, Pammejo

Live Your Life Out Loud Card by Adriana Bolzon

 

Hello there everyone! Couture Creations Designer Adriana Bolzon here today sharing a card I created with two of the latest dies from the Madeline and Secret Treasures Collections.

The gorgeous doily in the background is created with the Les Fleurs Doily Die. I inked the edges with brown ink and a Sponge Dauber.

The floral cluster was created with the Aurora Vine Die (leaves) and the Retro Flowers Die (pink blooms). I cut several flowers using the Retro Flowers Die, curled the edges of the petals over with a very thin stick, glued them together and placed a Cafe Creme Self-Adhesive Pearl in the center of each flower.

Thanks for stopping by today!
