Collettes Cards

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 am still having so much fun with Butterfly Garden. Such a beautiful and easy to use collection. I have made a simple little card that is so much fun, pretty quick to make too! Let's check out how I made it! Cut Ivory card stock 5 1/4" x 10 1/2". Score at 2 5/8" and 5 1/4". Fold, mountain then valley. Cut a second piece of Ivory card stock 4" x 9 1/2". Score at 4 3/4" x 7 3/8". Fold mountain then valley. 3. Cover both cards with patterned paper. 4. Attach the two layers together, and decorate front with ephemera 5. I die cut the 'Ornate Corner and 'Hello Friend'  mini dies with the Go Cut and Emboss machine. I then put the die cut pieces of card through the Go Press and Foil machine using the thicker metal plate and a card shim. They foiled beautifully! I also cut some scrap ivory cardstock and placed it on the second front section to w

Hi Papercrafters 😃 Today I have been playing with the beautiful Butterfly Garden Collection from Couture Creations. I wanted to create a quick little card, let's face it, a quick pretty card always has a place in our repetoire!  I also wanted it to have a little bit of interest! It was easy to create such a pretty front to the card by simply fussy cutting paper to. I co-ordinated it inside with a check design and used the sentiment panel of another sheet of paper as an internal concertina runner. To this I attached butterflies.  It really is a quickie, why not have a play yourself! Here's How! Cover a 4" x 6" card in black card. Attach patterned paper to front cut from sheet 07A (Butterfly Garden Collection). Trim the large cream Butterfly from the Ephemera set and attach - body flat and two layers of foam under the wings. Attach sentiment Cover inside with sheet 11A. Cut sentiment panel from sheet 4A, 8" x 1 1

Hi Papercrafters 😃 Today I have a lovely scrapbook layout using 'Le Petit Jardin' .... such a pretty and flexible collection. I have used lots of layering and stressed edges. Here is how I started my page. I love this 'Morning Flourish'  decorative die and seem to be popping it everywhere on my cards and layouts at the moment.  I love scattering a few sequins on my layouts, they add a hard 'anchored' elament, and also fill a space easily. This particular colour is amazing and seems to go with everything and makes a nice change from gold ... I love it! (Mixed Sequins). There is lots of dimension on this page, including the flowers which I fussy cut from papers in the 12x12 Paper Pad (CO725434). By cutting out several flowers you can use foam tape to build them up. I stressed the edges, spritzed with water and shaped the leaves. I also love adding some cheesecloth for textural softness. Isn't fo
