Traditional Christmas Trio

Hi Papercrafters

Today I am playing with the latest 'Highland Christmas' from Couture Creations. It is a festive traditional collection with all things Christmassy!



As well as beautiful papers, this collection comes with beautiful dies, embossing folders, foil stamps and even chipboard. So Christmas Card making is sorted!

A Trio of quick and easy cards should start the season of Christmas Card making of to a great start! 

I believe we only have about 16 weeks to go 😜.

I have used two of the new mini dies in this collection. They are inexpensive and cut so beautifully! This is the Highland Reindeer, you can choose to have him with or without antlers that come with this mini set, isn't he gorgeous!


For each of my cards, I cut a base from 'sheet 9' of the collection, 3 7/8" x 5 7/8" and distressed the edges. 



The three images I chose were from sheet 7, (oh just look at the other beautiful elements on this sheet, so many possibilities!)


I cut my card bases from 'Driftwood' cardstock (ULT200046) 8" x 6", scored at 4" on the long side to form a 4" x 6" card base.

Then is was time to layer and stick, with a mat of  'Vintage Gold' gold card CO725345. 








 I distress the edges of all the beautiful papers and once my card was finished I splattered with watered down white acrylic paint and a fan paint brush. I used the adhesive pearls on my Christmas tree.

Masculine Quick Cards

Image
Hi Papercrafters Today I have three quick Masculine Cards using the newly released Gentleman's Emporium Collection from Couture Creations. My first Card "Cherish" uses the foiled Pocket Watch.  This is popped up on a simple background of papers and is the focus of the card. The pale gold foil is perfect and a bit understated which I love.  My second Card uses papers and embellishments from the Ephemera set.  I also used the Square Gentleman's corner die. It is so beautiful and intricate and cuts so beautifully! The Happy Birthday sticker was from the Tiny Words sticker Sheet, I coloured the gold with a black permanent marker. For my third card I did a simple score and fold on my score board to simulate a shirt. The paper size I cut was 6" long x 3" wide. And I score 1 1/4" in from top left to 3" down from top right. I cut the little button from the watch paper in the paper pad and gently curved th
