Adore Box and Mini Card - Couture Creations

Hello there everyone and thanks for stopping by, today I am sharing with you all another project for Couture Creations - Ultimate Crafts. I have been super busy creating another project in particular with the Magnolia Lane papers and embellishments. These gorgeous and beautiful papers and embellishments are Designed by Sue Smyth.


I have decorated a small box to hold a small concertina book, but it could be turned into a very special card to get to someone special, for a mother or an aunty.
So here is my mini box which holds a special concertina folded card inside, which has a cover and back cover and 6 special pages to write a special message or decorate with photos and sentiments.

Adore Box and card by Adriana Bolzon







The Resin Frames ULT157501 are sold in white/cream but I painted them with bronze, vintage and black paints to match the beautiful Resin Cameos ULT157502

The mini box is a Graphic45 Mixed Media 5 x 5 black box, it also comes in a kraft but I chose the black one as it saved me from painting the edges of the box. I covered the outside and inside flap panels with Magnolia Borders paper ULT157490. 



The top of the box is decorated with the
Resin Frames moulds ULT157501
Resin Cameos ULT157502
Bling Flourishes ULT157499
Die - Square Magnolia Frame ULT157530
Die word from the Rosey Frame ULT157517
Magnolia Lane - paper pad 6 x 6 ULT157486









Inside the box - flap decorated with sentiments from the 
Magnolia Lane paper - ULT157497 Poetical Labels
Die - Tassels ULT157519





For the inside of the mini box,  I cut out another
Rosey Frame die ULT157517 and adhered inside the bottom of box.





The card or mini/book sits perfectly inside the box.
 I created a concertina style card which has a cover and back cover
and a total of 6 other pages to add sentiments, words, photos, tag pocket and die cuts.

Dream Catcher - Kaisercraft



"Dream-catchers" are a very popular at the moment and with a few simple tools, like paper and dies you can create a very special dreamcatcher to put on a card, layout or hang in the window. Today I have created a canvas with a dream catcher created with the Kaisercraft DD754 Dream Catcher die cut.

But first, a little bit about the History about Dream catchers



sunset_dreamcatcherDream catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them.










Here is my Dreamcatcher on a small canvas, but it would be great for a card or on a layout :)
More details and a tutorial on how to create your very own
with a Kaisercraft Diecut DD DD754 Decorative Dreamcatcher die
is on the Kaisercraft blog

Time Goes By - Couture Creation

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by today, I am so excited to share with you all, another project using the New papers and embellishments from the new release "Magnolia Lane" from Couture Creations - Ultimate Crafts brand, designed by Sue Smyth.

For today I have created a layout using some of the Magnolia Lane papers and embellishments.

"Time Goes By " layout by Adriana Bolzon






The background page made from two of the papers from the Magnolia Lane paper collection
they are "Gentle Magnolia's & Lace" paper ULT157492
and the 
"Sweet Music" ULT157495
together with the lovely and adorable Adhesive Chipboard pieces ULT157516 and
Diecut Ephemera pack ULT157515

Firstly I cut the 
Gentle Magnolia's & Lace paper ULT157492 in half and trimmed some of the other edges, turning the lace part of the paper in the centre of the Sweet Music paper ULT157495 and adhering as shown below, on top of the Sweet Music paper.





With the Magnolia Lane Stamping set "Songbird" ULT157511, I stamped some of the leaves around the page and coloured them in with water colour pencils. Love this effect with the stamped leaf. I also added some script stamping around the edges as well.





I then matted my photo and place a piece of the Black Lace ULT157507 on the top and bottom of my photo, then I adhered my photo in the middle of my page.
Clusters of Magnolia flower die cuts and adhesive chipboard on the top and bottom of photo.

Cutting the little framed sentiments from the Magnolia Lane 6 x 6 paper pad ULT15746 and the lovely sentiment from "Pretty Patches" paper ULT157498



I then cut 2 pieces of the Bling flourishes with Pearls and also added the Birdcage and butterflies from the Diecut Ephemera collection.

How gorgeous are those Metal trinkets - I had to add one of those on the page as well.
