Tri-Fold Christmas Card by Bridget Louw

Hi! Couture Creations designer Bridget Louw here and I am so excited to show you this super easy tri-fold card to make using an assortment of gorgeous Couture Creations products.

Step 1: Place a 6 inch  x 12 inch piece of cardstock horizontally in your scoring tool. Score at 2 inches, 4 inches, 8 inches and 10 inches. The card measures 4 inches x 6 inches when closed.

Step 2: Turn the cardstock a ¼ turn. Along the long edge, measure in 2 inches. Cut a slit with a craft knife between the score marks at 2 inches and 10 inches. Repeat on the other long side.

Step 3: Fold card as pictured.

Step 4: To decorate the card, cut pieces of patterned paper to cover your base pieces.

I used the Oval and Scalloped Oval Nesting Dies and embossed the plain oval with the Sugarplum Ball Embossing Folder from the Wrapped in Joy Collection.

Step Five: Embellish the card as desired.

These cards are lots of fun to make and take almost no time at all. I hope you like my card and will try making it with the amazing product range from Couture Creations.

Happy Thanksgiving Card with Vicki

Hi! Vicki Robertson here today sharing a Thanksgiving card that I created with a Couture Creations Christmas themed embossing folder.  Shows just how versatile these folders are!

I embossed a piece of copper foil specialty paper with the Couture Creations Sugarplum Ball Embossing Folder. The flourish-like swirls made me think of leaves swirling in the wind. The embossed foil is matted with white cardstock and patterned paper. The leaves are die-cut from patterned paper and inked with lots of different colors of Distress Ink.

The foil paper embosses so beautifully and the details from the embossing folder really stand out! I used a piece of burlap ribbon under the leaves for added texture.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have inspired you to try embossing folders.

Be Merry Card with Vicki

Hi! Vicki Robertson here with some holiday inspiration for you! Today I am sharing a card using the Couture Creation Sugarplum Ball Embossing Folder from the Wrapped in Joy Collection. This folder features swirls and flourishes with holly berries. 

The card base is Core'dinations white cardstock with a layer of embossed foil paper. The reindeer embellishment, Rudolph, is a NEW Couture Creations die from the Magical Christmas Collection and is also cut from white cardstock. A red bow with a mini bell attached adorns the reindeer along with Crystal Self-Adhesive Gemstones on his antlers.  I love the contrast of the white and turquoise background with the white reindeer and pop of red.

The intricate impression from the embossing folder is really enhanced by the foil paper.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to stop back next week for our Sophia Die feature week!
