Christmas Trees Card | Couture Creations

Hi Everyone Kerrie back again Guest Designing for Couture Creations

this time I have created a layered Christmas Tree card using the new Christmas Tree Scene Stamp from the Deck the Halls Collection.

This is a versatile stamp set and you can just stamp and colour using markers or you could create a super cute shaker card using the tree but i have gone with creating my trees using Couture Creations Alcohol Inks, these are just too fun to create with and every time you use them you get a different background  

 I started out by stamping out three tree images using the Jet Black Stayz in Place Alcohol Ink Pad onto Yupo Paper

I then cut all the images out, I actually stamped and cut one extra just incase I wanted to add another layer

I then selected my Alcohol Ink colours, testing them on a scrap of Yupo Paper

I started layering my Alcohol Inks by applying the Khaki Glitter Alcohol Ink first, I then added the Champagne Metallic followed lastly by Jade Metallic, then blowing the colours around using the blower tool 

you can see the shimmer from the metallics and the sparkle from the glitter 

Once dry I them restamped the tree images using the Jet Black Stayz in Place Inkpad you could restamp using gold if you prefer but I wanted the stark contrast

I diecut Merry Christmas sentiment from Gold Mirror Board

I then layered my tree onto my base card which I had created using Mirror Board and White Glitter Card 

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and remember if you recreate this card don't forget to share on your socials and tag #couturecreationsaus and me #kerriegurney

Celebrate Mother's Day Layout | Little Birdie Crafts

#kerriegurney #littlebirdiecrafts

Hi Everyone it's Kerrie here and I am so excited to bring you another project I  created for Little Birdie Crafts Blog.
This time I have used their newest release Aqua Medley
This is such a gorgeous collection with so many fun elements making it so very versatile for all papercrafters.

I started by tearing two sheets of patterned paper from the Aqua Medley 12x12 paper pack to add to my base, I also cut a piece of patterned paper for my photo mat and journaling tag. I distressed all the edges to add some texture
Once I was happy with the placement of my papers, I popped them to the side

and applied Shimmer Cloud Sparkle Paste using Net and Feather Stencils I set aside to dry
(you can dry off using your heat tool if you are in a hurry)

I cut the Chipboard leaf flourish and sprigs from the frame

I then foiled the Chipboard pieces including my title piece, Little Birdie Crafts Chipboard foils beautifully and foil adds a lovely touch to your chipboard when you want to add some shine.
TIP:If you don't have foil just use a Color Splash spray or a paint, you can add some shimmer to your sprays and paints by adding some pigment powder.

I adhered my patterned paper, next I added some Sisal Fibre before adhering my photo mat and  photo.
Sisal Fibre gives a lovely soft texture to your layout, you can colour it with your sprays if you want to change the colour. I use it on most of my projects.
I  then arranged my flowers, chipboard and embellishments  to compliment my photo. Glue them on using Gel Medium so they stay securely in place.

Below are some close ups of my clusters

I finished off by adding some Twinkle Melange and Dazzle Cocktail bling, for this is just used a wooden skewer to apply Gel Medium and then sprinkled them on

 TIP: I trimmed around the embellishment pieces as I used white cardstock and they have a cream edge to them, don't let the edges of the embellishments stop you using them on your projects as all you have to do is trim the edges off

Thanks for stopping by I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial,
