Napoleon & I | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney  #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone
Kerrie here back with a layout I created for the Couture Creations Blog using the gorgeous Vintage Rose Garden papers along with the Evergreen Die from the Background Savvy collection ...this has to be my favourite  and go to die at the moment.
I just love how versatile it is
I love this photo of Napoleon and I taken when Mum and I visited Eagle Encounters at Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch South Africa, isn't he gorgeous




I started by die cutting the Evergreen Die using white cardstock and then used the die cut as a stencil and applied green glitter paste randomly on my base page




then I set the page aside to dry (you can hit it with the heat tool if you don't have time to wait)
I then die cut a couple more of the Evergreen this time using green patterned paper from the Vintage Rose Garden paper collection, I also die cut 1 x Daffodil Spray



I then cut around the clock face on the bottom left of my page so that my photo would slip in behind the clock


I cut a mat for my photo from the patterned paper and then layered everything on
Inking and distressing all the edges
I also coloured the Cottage Pollen Flower to match the paper
Finish off with a sprinkling of pearls

Treasure the Time Layout | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney
#couturecreationsaus   #craftgiraffe

Hi Everyone

I just remember I hadn't shared the full photo of my layout from my Couture Creations class I taught at Craft Giraffe a few weeks ago

It was a dabble into mixed media showing you how you can create your own masks using Couture Creations dies



I love this photo of my little sister Megan and I at Lone Pine..Megan with her nappy hanging off and me with my frowny face and lioness haircut, who is old enough to remembers those?


here is a closer look at some of the details





Craft Giraffe have one kit still available with full instructions and everything you need to create the layout
(excluding the glitter texture paste and spray, which are both available to purchase from Craft Giraffe)

 Pop into the store or order online if you are interested.
If you miss out on a kit you can still purchase all the products used from Craft Giraffe



 Happy Creating 
Kerrie

Love Vintage Rose Card for Couture Creations

#kerriegurney 

Hi there Kerrie here with my last post as part of the 2014 Couture Creations Design Team, tomorrow on the Couture Creations Blog is the start of the introductions for 2015 team which I am very proud to be Coordinator of again.
Make sure you pop over and welcome the new team.

For my last post I have created a card using Vintage Rose Garden Patterned Papers and the soon to be released Amaryllis Ornamental Lace Die Collection.
I am sure you will love this collection as much as I do, so pop into your local store and preorder it NOW as you don't want to miss out. I have also used the NEW Couture Creations Flowers
which are available now from your local store.


Onto creating 


to start die cut 2 x Simone's Style lace borders from Gold Glitter sticker paper using Quick Release Die Paper and Metal Adapter Plate. 



The metal adapter plate helps to give a crisp cut and the quick release paper makes sure the glitter paper comes straight out of the die


Die cut 1 x Rowena Lace Die again using the metal adapter plate and quick release paper, see how the die cut falls out of the die and with a few flicks all the pesky bits come out too.


Keep the Quick Release Die paper die cut and use it as a mask and add some gold metallic spray.



 once dry this creates a soft subtle background



Add some green spray to colour the 6cm Camden Cottage Rose and also while it is still wet from the spray scrunch it up to give the flower more texture. You can see the difference how with some colour and some scrunching it changes the whole look of the flower, I have also added a touch of Gold Metallic spray to the tips of the flower.


I have also used the  3cm Camden Cottage Roses and the English Roses



to add some colour I sprayed the flowers using Gold Metallic spray to the whole flowers, make sure you use the Non Stick Craft Mat to do this.


I then rubbed the flowers onto the left over spray this gives more colour to the petal tips, this is why using the Non Stick Craft Matt is good as you don't waste any of the spray.

Once all your flowers are dry you can start assembling your card



I used the NEW Turbo Glue Pen to attach the Lace Doily and also the paper flowers, this glue pen is awesome.

Here are some close ups so you can see the layering

Every Day is a New Adventure Card | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney 

Hi Everyone Kerrie here back with a  Couture Creations card tutorial for you.



This card while looking quite involved is super quick and easy to create.



I have used the gorgeous Couture Creations Vintage Rose Garden 6"x 6" paper pad  to create this card along with some of the NEW 2015 Die releases and the old faithful Circle Nesting Dies.

Cut background paper to size and layer onto card my card is 6"x6"


Die cut lace border strips, using patterned paper cut down to 5" long and center on Simone's Style Lace die, place Quick Release Die paper on top of die then patterned paper and lastly the top acrylic cutting plate.
By using Quick Release Die Paper your diecut paper will pop out of the die, making diecutting less time consuming as you will not have to pick everything out of the die.


Next die cut Crystal Aroma Background Die again using Quick Release Die Paper, but this time also using Metal Adapter Plate to give a clean crisp cut


See how everything cuts cleanly


and them the die cut cardstock lifts straight off the die and with a few flicks all the bits fall out of the die cut



Next you are going to cut a circle from the background die cut


and another circle this time using two of the circle nesting dies to give a circle border 
(sorry I forgot to photograph that step)

Die cut 1 x Cycad Fern Die from green patterned paper.

Distress all the edges using scissors and then using a sponge dauber ink all the edges.

Layer everything onto card base.
I have used double sided foam tape on the circle layers to give some depth.


Add some flowers and pinch your leaves to give them some character and finish off with some pearls.



Cut a sentiment from green words patterned paper and fussy cut a butterfly adhering it with foam tape and pinching it's wings to give it flight

Post It Note Holder | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney

Hi everyone it is me Kerrie back again for Couture Creations
Can you believe February is all but over, my how the year flies these days.


Anyway onto my post.
Today I am sharing with you this super quick gift idea.
A Post It Note Holder created using an acrylic photo frame and a post it note pad and of course
Couture Creations dies and papers




This is a great gift for a school teacher, a colleague or a student for on their desk.

To start off I cut a piece of Vintage Rose Garden Time patterned paper to 4.5" x 6.5"
and then a piece of green cardstock to 5" x 7"
Distress the edges of both pieces adhere patterned paper to cardstock and place inside photo frame.



Next die cut 1 x Anastasia Ornamental Lace Die using Quick Release Die paper so the die cut pops straight out of the die and adhere die cut to the outside of photo frame


Die Cut 3 x Cycad Leaves in black cardstock


To create gorgeous foiled leaves, lay a strip of foil ontop of die cut leaves




next place inbetween a piece of photocopy paper and run through a laminating machine


and then remove the foil, to revel gorgeous foiled leaves ..sorry this is not the best photo, but you get the idea


Layer the leaves onto the frame and finish off with a fabulous fabric flower which you can create using the Rose Nesting Dies (visit here for flower tutorial)
