Believe Christmas Card | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus #christmas

Hi all Kerrie here

Did you know there are only 71 days until Christmas?
scary how quickly it is coming around isn't it?
Well I am here to inspire you to kick start your Christmas Card creating with this
 quick Christmas card I created for Couture Creations using their
Christmas Eve Dies and Christmas Emporium paper collection




Start off diecutting 4 of the Mistletoe die from green patterned paper and 1 of the Believe only section of the Believe Flourish die from light patterned paper


next using the two largest circle nesting dies cut a circle frame


TIP; I use a magnetic cutting platform so my dies don't move but if you don't have a magnetic cutting platform you can tape the dies in place using washi tape


use  mini foam dots to raise up the circle frame


pop it onto the card base and start layering on the mistletoe diecuts 
TIP; use the Couture Creations Turbo Glue Pen which is perfect for adhering all your diecuts...it dries clear so you don't have to worry if any bits squish out the sides like it has on the right


finish off by adding the Believe onto a strip of patterned paper, add some string for texture and add some 2mm Gemstones for a touch of sparkle



you can see I have also raised the sentiment strip up by using a double layer of foam tape to give extra height

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)
