#kerriegurney
#ultimatecrafts #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a couple of quick cards using Ultimate Crafts Ooh La La collection 

 Both cards are 15cm x 15cm Square Cards, 
which means all cardstock card bases are cut to 15cm x 30cm and folded in half.


Thinking Of You Card #1

1.       Cut a piece of black cardstock to 12cm x 15cm and tear the top and bottom. *Tip to get your cardstock to tear where you want it to run a paintbrush wet with water along where you want it to tear and it will tear along the water line.
2.       Cut a strip of patterned paper 5cm x 15cm
3.       Distress  and ink the edges of all pieces
4.       Die Cut Lavish Border and Elemental Corner set from Driftwood cardstock
5.       Ink the edges of all paper pieces and you can add a touch of ink to your paper flower too if you like
6.       Layer black card piece flat onto card base
7.       Adhere border die cuts to back of pattern paper strip
8.       Using foam mounting tape to raise the patterned paper strip adhere it to card
9.       Create a bow from jute twine and adhere to Elemental Corner die cut
10.   Pull the centre from flower and adhere main flower to bow
11.   Adhere Sentiment using foam mounting tape and add centre piece of paper flower
12.   Finish off with a sprinkling of pearls


Thinking Of You Card #2

1.       Cut down Bronze Baroque patterned paper to fit card front
2.       Cut Wrapped with Gold patterned paper to 13cm x 13cm
3.       Distress and ink the edges of papers and cardstock
4.       Tear a section on the bottom right of Wrapped with Gold paper and roll back
5.       Adhere both pieces of pattern paper onto base card
6.       Add Elemental Corner die so it is coming out of the torn section
7.       Distress and ink the edges of Butterfly and Thinking of You Sentiment from Ephemera Diecut pack and adhere to card using foam tape.
8.      Create a bow using jute twine and adhere to card using Turbo Glue Pen
9.      Adhere Magnolia Paper flower using Turbo Glue Pen
10.   Finish off with a sprinkling of Pearls





 Happy Creating

Live, Laugh, Love Double Layout for Ultimate Crafts | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #ultimatecrafts #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone, Kerrie here
I love to create embossed backgrounds on my layouts using versamark inkpad and gold embossing powder, especially for my travel layouts as it gives them a rustic well traveled look.
As you all know I love a distress look and I also love to have things not perfect this way you have the freedom to just create and not stress about lining things up.
This selection of photos are from a trip to Tasmania my girls and I took last July, we had the best time just the three of us touring the top end of Tassi.
On this day it was freezing and the wind was fierce,  I actually had two coats on and I was still cold!!! The walk down to the bottom of the falls was windy and so very cold, but we past all these people coming back up in tshirts and I couldn't work out how they could stand the cold, that is until we walked back up!!! It was such a steep walk that we too were stripping off our coats and worked up quite the sweat walking back up.
The walk down and back were so worth it though as Liffey Falls are beautiful.



Instructions

1.       Using Versamark Ink pad ink up Ooh La La Zephyr Embossing Folder, stamp background using embossing folder on both pieces of Cinnamon Cardstock
2.       Sprinkle with Mirror Gold Embossing Powder, tap off excess powder and heat until all embossing powder is molten and set. This does not have to be perfect as we want a rustic, vintage look. Clean Embossing Folder using warm sopay water or a baby wipe straight away after stamping.
3.       Cut from Obsidian (Black) Cardstock 1 x 9cm x 25.5cm, 1 x 9cm x 27cm, 1 x 3cm x 28.5cm, 1 x 3cm x 27cm, 1 x 2.5cm x 18cm, 1 x 2.5cm 26.5cm pieces
4.       Cut from Golden Baroque pattern paper 1 x 6cm x 27cm, 1 x 6cm x 15.5cm strips
5.       Cut from Chocolate Swirls pattern paper 1 x 15cm x 15cm piece
6.       Cut a 4.5cm piece from Border strip from Ephemera pack, giving two pieces to use.
7.       Emboss both 2.5cm wide strips using Zephyr embossing folder
8.       Create pennants from the 2.5cm x 18cm embossed strip and the 3cm x 28.5cm strip
9.       Distress the edges of all paper and cardstock pieces
10.   Ink all the distressed edges of all pieces of paper and cardstock and also ink the edges of all diecuts, using sponge dauber and brown ink pad.
11.   Layer all pieces onto the embossed base, making sure to match up both sides in the center
12.   Add lace trim to page before main photo on first page
13.   Before layering main photo mat onto base wrap twine around photo mat
14.   Add photos

15.   Finish off with die cut embellishments and a sprinkling of Pearls


here is a closer look at the embossed background


3mm pearls create soft accents

SENZ Recap

#kerriegurney #SENZ #warehousestationery #ulitmatecrafts #couturecreations

Hi Everyone

sorry to be so slack with my blog posts and my recap after attending SENZ 
 I was so excited to head to Auckland to teach classes, and demonstrate for Warehouse Stationery showcasing Couture Creations & Ultimate Crafts products

I had a fabulous time and the Warehouse Stationery team we amazing and so much fun
SENZ was a very busy show and so I only took a couple of photos, very slack I know but hey when I'm busy teaching and demonstrating I don't even think about taking photos.



here is just some of the awesome Warehouse Stationery team


all set up ready for day 1



Luckily I was very spoilt and had class assistants in my classroom each day and so when they weren't busy they took some photos, still not many as we were enjoying spending time with the lovely ladies in all my classes.


doing my thing in the Demo Theatre


the lovely Lois and I after my last class


Trina and I before my last class 


the Ultimate Crafts and Couture Creations wall of goodness which Warehouse Stationery had the exclusive launch of the Ultimate Crafts Ooh La La collection




a look inside two of my class kits, ( not sure why but I didn't take a photo of my card class kit)  the double page layout class kits was filled with Ultimate Crafts Ooh La La which was exclusive to Warehouse Stationery at SENZ and was a world launch at the show



a little late night creating in my hotel room with Ultimate Crafts Ooh La La and Background Gallery 2 collections




did I mention it was cold in Auckland ..look at the frost on the racetrack




When I arrived in Auckland it was foggy and pouring rain so much so that it took ages to unload the baggage and when it was it was soaked

but on Monday it was a glorious day


 looking over at Auckland from the lookout


time to head home, I arrived in the Emirates A380 and went home in the baby Qantas plane beside it


lastly my gorgeous flowers that arrived the day after I arrived home from Ange and the Warehouse Stationery team

I would like to give a huge Thank you to Ange and the Warehouse Stationery team for having me and I look forward to next year :)

Lifou Island | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus


Hi Everyone Kerrie here with another project created for Artdeco Creations Blog

I have used the gorgeous  Couture Creations Sea Breeze Collection designed by Denise Boddey for this Double Page Layout
(this is to show my South African friends I can do double pages :) )


This is a super quick layout to re create
I have  cut strips of Sea Breeze patterned paper  and then using a 6x6 piece along with the matching 12x12 piece of Weatherboard pattern paper create bigger mats


I then cut out the ships wheel and shell along with the three shells from Secrets of the Ocean 6x6 pattern paper
I also cut A Day at the Shore label from Caught in the Wind pattern paper.

I then distress and inked all the edges of all pieces of pattern paper, shells and some pennant piece from the ephemera pack
I then layered all the pieces on and then added some splatter to the background before adding my photos


here is a closer look at the pages



To create my cluster on the second page I used the Turbo Glue Pen to adhere everything on placing some White Netting down first. I pulled apart a Paper Magnolia Flower and added some broken shells to the centre of the flowers.



I diecut a label and cut it in half to add a piece to each page of my layout
