Collettes Cards

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...

Hi Paper Friends Today another pretty card using the lovely Butterfly Garden. The beautiful muted colours, butterflies, flowers and pearls create a sweet little card that is sure to delight its receiver! I used lots of layers, some were laid flat, some raised with foam dots, some distressed, some not. I do love these big full flowers that are distributed by Couture Creations. It only takes one as a focal point to create a pretty card. Adorned with paper leaves cut from some ephemera, butterflies cut form patterned paper and a pretty ornate corner die, cut from paper. Take a moment to shape your butterfly wings, attach wings with foam tape and the bodies with wet adhesive to give it a wonderful dimentional appearance! Hope you like it and it gives you some creative ideas!

Hi Papercrafters. I have had lots of requests to make the Pull Card and show you how to do it on a video ..... so I have😄. The Petite Jardin 12x12 Paper Pad was a perfect paper choice, gorgeous colours and lots of small designs! This is an easy and impressive card to add to your card making portfolio and it will definitely have that surprise factor many of us look for. The papers were so pretty I ended up making three! You can see pics of two of them here, the third is on the video.  Here are some more pics to wet your appetite! I made one a few months ago for a special friend and popped lots of mini photos on. It was such a hit!   Finally here is the Link to the VIDEO , or click the picture below, sit back and enjoy and then play! https://youtu.be/TUnmXXl2pKc Couture Creations Products Used: CO725413 - 12x12 Paper Pad CO723973 - Paper Trimmer C0724574 - Applicator Bottle ULT200031 Cardstock Cypress Pine ...

'Jardin' Exploding Card! Hi Papercrafters. 😊 The 'Petite Jardin' Collection from Couture Creations is pretty and easy to use for all your papercrafting projects. An eclectic mix of florals, stripes, geometric designs both in soft and strong colourways. The range has beautiful papers, dies, hotfoil stamps, chipboard and stamps, and really, choosing is the hardest part! I was drawn to the beautiful border, flourish and branches dies;  these dies I could use on most cards, totally drop dead gorgeous!  I wanted a card with a little surprise inside so I worked out the measurement for an exploding insert following one of my favourite Tea Bag fold Designs.  It works beautifully!  You can see exactly how I made this in the video I have put together for you 😉  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6rL3cA312I I do hope you get a chance to create this little fun card and to shop for some beautiful pro...

Welcome Papercrafters. Today I have a couple of cards using the wonderful Modern Essentials, Cut, Foil and Emboss Dies. I love a die that does it all and have selected the nesting  Rose Vine Frames to feature on my cards. I seem to be a 'golden mood' at the moment! Again I have chosen gold and white, but am loving how elegant that combination looks! I layered this up differently, instead of the thick metal shim, I used two of the thinner ones which foiled and cut beautifully! I had some beautiful left over bits of foil when I cut out the frames, way too good to throw out so I simply used my Go Press & Foil machine to attach the foiled frame to some card. To do this I put the thick shim on my Go press and Foil machine, put the foil gold side down, then my card and I used 2 card shims. It all attached beautifully! Not bad for leftovers! Love the leaves 2 stickers. They come in so handy! Products Used CO726462 - Cut Foil ...

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, s...
