Exotic Card with Pam Bray

Hi! Pam Bray here today sharing a card that I created with the Exotic Embossing Folder (Fine Designs Collection) and the Connexion Intricutz Die (Sophia Collection) to make the perfect exotic card.

I started by embossing white cardstock with the Exotic Embossing Folder. Using Wild Honey Distress Ink and a Sponge Dauber I lightly brushed over the raised design to help match the color of the sunflowers on my patterned paper.

Here is closer look at the dimension of my exotic card. I love all the layers and the way the embossing folder comes to life when paired with patterned papers and leaves cut with the Connexion Die. I hope you try using some different inks with your embossing folders to see the amazing looks you will achieve!

Hugs, Pammejo

Together is My Favorite Place to Be by Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today sharing a card I created for part of my January Project Life. I love how the Connexion Intricutz Die from the Sophia Collection wraps the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder perfectly.

I started my 6" x 8" card by first embossing a piece of Sage Green Kraft Distress Core'dinations Cardstock with the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder.

I sanded it lightly with a Sanding Block.

I embossed a piece of white cardstock with the Large Vintage Girl Embossing Folder and fussy cut out the center oval shape with my Precision Scissors. I used Wild Honey Distress Ink and a Sponge Dauber to color the edge of the white oval.

I ran the Connexion Die through my die cut machine three times so I would have plenty of leaves to wrap around the oval once I placed it on the front of my card.

 Here is a closer look at the Large Vintage Girl embossed design and the Connexion die-cuts.

I had to let you see all of my fun little flowers that I made using the Roses Nesting Dies. I have placed Vintage Gold Gemstones in the centers of each flower.

I hope you enjoyed my 6" x 8" project life piece and that you will try to add some embossed pieces  and die-cuts to your Project Life Albums.

Hugs, Pammejo

Sophia Die Week - Happy Haunting with Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today giving you a bit of Halloween inspiration. I am sure by now you have a few of your favorite Halloween photos printed and would like to do up a few layouts, so I would love to show you how I used some dies from the Couture Creations Sophia Collection to add some fabulous depth to my layout.

I used the Connexion Die at the top of my layout along with the Stella Die. I added a few roly poly flowers and placed a Vintage Gold Self-Adhesive Gemstone in the center of each of the flowers.

I used just the Stella Die at the bottom of my layout, and again, added a few roly poly flowers. I just love making them because they are so easy! Using one of the Circle Nesting Dies and your Sharp Point Scissors, cut a spiral into each circle you have die-cut. (I used the 2-inch circle Nesting Die for my flowers.) Then, using the tweezers from the Handheld Essentials Set, roll the paper into a tight circle and secure with a dot of glue.

I made a few flags and added them to my page. I adhered stickers to each flag with Foam Mounting Tape.

I fussy cut two images of a little girl sitting on a pumpkin and several postage stamps from patterned paper and created layered 3D embellishments by placing Foam Mounting Tape between identical images.

I hope you have enjoyed my layout and think about trying the Sophia dies on your projects!

Hugs,
Pammejo

Sophia Die Week - Intricutz Wreath Card by Dana

Hi! Dana here today sharing a Christmas card that I created using some of the gorgeous dies offered by Couture Creations. I used the NEW Wild Holly Embossing Folder, from the Wrapped In Joy Collection, on the patterned paper base of my card. I put together a layered wreath with cuts from my favorite Dazzling Doily Die and two dies from the Sophia Intricutz Die Collection.

Follow these steps to assemble this card:

Step One: Select two different colored pattered papers. Trim the papers to fit inside each other on a card base. Emboss the top pattered paper with the Wild Holly Embossing Folder. Adhere the patterned paper layers to the card base with Double-Sided Tape.

Step Two: Select three shades of green cardstock. Cut one piece of green cardstock with the Dazzling Doily Die. Cut three pieces of another shade of green cardstock with the Connexion Intricutz Die. Cut the last piece of green cardstock with the Assouline Intricutz Die. Attach the die-cut layers to the front of the card with Foam Mounting Tape with the Dazzling Doily die-cut on the bottom, the Connexion die-cuts in the middle and the Assouline die-cut on the top.

Step Three: Highlight the flower centers of the Assouline die-cut with Red Lust Self-Adhesive Gemstones.

Step Four: Add a sentiment to the center of the wreath.

Step Five: Finish the card by adding a gold bow to the bottom of the wreath.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
