Gratitude Card with Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana here today sharing a card that I created with the gorgeous Couture Creations Endless Embossing Folder today. I have many things to be thankful for and this card will be going to someone special! I embossed a piece of metal for the background of my card and then added color with alcohol inks for a fun and festive finish.

Follow these steps to create a similar card:

Step One: Emboss a piece of aluminum with the Endless Embossing Folder.

Step Two: Color the embossed metal with alcohol inks. I used Tim Holtz Butterscotch, Red Pepper and Terra Cotta Alcohol Inks along with some Gold Mixatives for a bit of shine.

Step Three: Wrap a piece of ribbon around the center of the embossed and colored aluminum piece and mount onto a cardstock card base using Foam Mounting Tape.

Step Four: Cut a piece of white cardstock with a Scalloped Oval Nesting Die. Ink the edges. Stick the oval over the center of the ribbon with Double-Sided Tape.

Step Five: Attach a chipboard sentiment to the center of the Scalloped Oval die-cut with Foam Mounting Tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Wrapped in Joy Week - Joy, Peace and Love with Pam

Hi! Pam here today wishing you each joy, peace and love. We are featuring the Couture Creations Wrapped in Joy Collection this week. For my project I made a "Joy, Peace and Love" Card using the Moonlit Berries Embossing Folder along with a piece of Core'dinations Burgundy Kraft Distress Cardstock that I ran through my embossing machine. I sanded the top lightly with my Couture Creations Sanding Block to expose the Kraft core of the pretty holly leaves before placing it on my 4" x 5 1/2" card base.

I added a bit of lace under my patterned paper that I attached to my card front with some Couture Creations Double-Sided Tape. I also adhered several small pieces of coordinating papers to the top of my card with Double-Sided Tape. I added a pair of epoxy Santa embellishments to finish my card. I hope you checkout all of the projects that will be shared in the coming days using the Wrapped in Joy Collection from Couture Creations here on the CSW Distributors Blog!

Hugs, Pammejo

Smile with Pam Bray

Hello! Pam here today sharing with you my "Smile Card" using the Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder from the Fresh & Fun Collection. To begin with I went to the archives of my mass paper stash and found some Bo Bunny papers that I had forgotten about....I am sure if you are a paper crafter/scrapbooker you understand what I mean by the "archives" of paper stashes....anyway...I began by placing my patterned paper on top of a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of kraft paper.

I ran my Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder through my die-cutting machine using Core'dinations Color Core Cardstock. Once I had accomplished this, I sanded it lightly with my Couture Creations Sanding Block, and adhered it to the top of my paper with my 1/4" Double-Sided Tape. I placed small Clear Gemstones from Couture Creations in the centers of each of my flowers.

Add a fun strip of coordinating patterned paper and a sticker border to the center of the Petal Pleasures cardstock prior to placing your fussy cut flowers on to your card front with Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and that it made you smile.
Hugs, Pammejo
