Welcome Baby Card by Patti Hamil

Hi! Patti here today sharing a card using the Journal Tab Die and Rocking Horse Die from the Secret Treasures Collection. I started out by selecting some Core'dinations cardstock in three colors and a scrap piece of coordinating patterned paper. I chose a 6x6 blue cardstock for the base of the card and trimmed a little off each side so that I could put it on a 6x6 white card base.

I die-cut three journal tabs in different colors. I then adhered the piece of patterned paper to the blue base, added the 3 journal tab die-cuts and some letter stickers in opposite colors to the top and bottom tabs. I then die-cut a rocking horse from white glitter paper, inked it with blue and placed it on the center journal tab.

I added a Self-Adhesive Seaspray Gemstone to the eye of the rocking horse. The holes along the side of the journal tabs were the perfect location for looping a tiny blue bow.

This card was super quick to create and this design can be easily adapted for girls or for boys! 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

All Occassions Feature Week - You Sparkle You Shine Card with Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here with my first post for the New Year and what better way to celebrate than to share a card I created using the All Occasions Super Plush Embossing Folder!? I used a piece of Light Blue/Kraft Core'dination Distress Cardstock with the embossing folder and then lightly distressed it with my Couture Creations Sanding Block. I adhered the embossed piece to the front of a kraft card base and added some pretty pattern paper and a punched border that I embellished with Seaspray Self Adhesive Gemstones. I die-cut a Scallop Circle and a Circle from the Couture Creations Nesting Die Sets to place behind my die-cut sentiment.

Here is a closer look at the beautiful Super Plush Embossing Folder. Don't you love it? I know I do! I hope you have a wonderful, sparkly and sunshiny New Year!

Hugs, Pammejo

Christmas Lyrics Card by Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today sharing a card that I created with the Couture Creaitons Christmas Lyrics Embossing Folder, from the NEW Wrapped in Joy Collection, and the Sophia Eberjey Die.

I began by embossing a piece of burgundy cardstock with the Christmas Lyrics Embossing Folder.

 I then lightly sanded the embossed cardstock with the Couture Creations Sanding Block.

I placed a piece of dark teal Distress cardstock on top of a cream colored card base. I added Foam Mounting Tape to the back of the embossed Christmas Lyrics cardstock and affixed that to a piece of pattern paper.

I die-cut two fun Santa embellishments from pattern paper using the Couture Creations Circle Nesting Dies.

 I used the beautiful Eberjey Die to cut a pretty flourish embellishment from a piece of patterned paper.

I wrapped some teal twill ribbon around the card and loosely tied a bow. I adhered the Eberjey die-cut and attached one of the die-cut Santa embellishments on top of the teal ribbon with Couture Creations Double Sided Tape.

Add some Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape to the back of the second Santa die-cut and place it on top of the first Santa die-cut to create a layered embellishment. Tie the teal ribbon into a bow that it is closer to the bottom of the Santa embellishment. Trim the ribbon with Precision Scissors.

I added Couture Creations Seaspray Self-Adhesive Gemstones to the top of the Eberjey die-cut and one at the bottom of the embossed Christmas Lyrics piece of cardstock. I hope you check out the Wrapped in Joy Collection!

Hugs, Pammejo

Sparkle Card with Vicki Robertson

Hi! Vicki Robertson here with you today. I am gearing up for the Christmas holidays with my new embossing folders and die-cuts.  This clean and simple card is embellished with the NEW Couture Creations Wild Holly Embossing Folder.  I inked the edges of the embossed layer with Memento Desert Sand Ink and embellished the front with cuts from the Memory Box Snowflake Sprig Die-Cut.

The snowflakes are covered with Ranger Glue N' Seal and Distress Glitter to add the sparkle! Some lovely Seaspray Self-Adhesive Gemstones were the final touch.

Peace Card with Pam Bray

Hi! Pam here today. Can you believe that the holidays are just around the corner? It is never to late to start thinking of making Christmas Cards, decorations or gifts. The Couture Creations NEW Wrapped in Joy Embossing Folder Collection is perfect for holiday crafts. Today I would like to share with you my non-traditional  "Peace Card" using the Peace and Joy Embossing Folder.

I started my card by running a 5" x 7" piece of white cardstock, that I cut on my Couture Creations Precision Trimmer, through my embossing machine.

I repeated the process with purple and blue cardstock and with some pretty striped patterned paper.

I love to fussy cut, so using my Sharp Point Scissors, that is what I did with the "Peace" portion from the blue cardstock and the striped piece of patterned paper.

I rubbed Purple Glitzin' Glamour on the top of each of the embossed ornaments with my finger tip. Then, with a piece of scrap paper, I kissed each ornament to pick up the Glitzin' Glamour that may have gone off of the embossed image.

I then took the paper piercer from the Handheld Essentials Kit and, using the tip, placed a bit of the Aztec Gold Glitzin' Glamour over the top of each of the embossed ornament hangers.

I used my Sponge Dauber and a bit of Concord Grape Distress Ink to color the edges of my white card base prior to putting it together.

I layered all the pieces on top of my purple card base using Double-Sided Tape.

I added the "Peace" embossed image that I had previously fussy cut to the top of the striped strip with Foam Mounting Tape.

I placed a pretty bow on the top of each ornament.

I added Seaspray Self-adhesive Gemstones to the ends of the striped patterned paper.

Hugs, Pammejo

Hepburn Embossing Folder Week - Tri-Fold Photo Holder with Patti

Hi! Patti Hamil here today sharing my project using the Hepburn Embossing Folder from the Couture Creations Elegance Collection. I created a tri-fold photo holder that can be set up like a framed photo, or folded up completely.

I embossed a sheet of Petallics paper with the Hepburn Embossing Folder 3 times to create the  background for my photo holder. I brushed three colors of pastel ink over the top of the embossed paper for a very subtle look. I then matted the embossed paper with blue cardstock. I also embossed a piece of green cardstock with the Hepburn Embossing Folder and cut out several leaves and swirls to fill out my flower clusters.

I used drops of Glossy Accents to mimic water.

I added Seaspray Self Adhesive Gemstones for a touch of sparkle.

I added a few small blooms and stickers and that was it. A really quick and easy project!

You could make one of these with more sections and even decorate both sides, then use ribbon for a tie closure! An easy way for a quick little photo book!

Thanks for stopping by today!
