Layout - Le Petit Jardin

Hello everyone Adriana here today and welcome back to the 

Couture Creations blog - 

Today I have created a layout, using the amazing  
collection "Le Petit Jardin". 

In 2015, my family were very lucky to travel to Europe and we did a Cruise on the Mediterranean Ocean. One port of call was "Valletta" in Malta.  This place was amazing, so much history and stories of ancient ruins.  I would love to go back to this place and explore more of it.  It a photo of myself was taken on the ship looking over the harbour of Valetta.

Here is my layout...... a very simple and effect layout using a couple of the 
"Le Petit Jardin" papers and ephemera pack.

Using just two papers from the collection
and ephemera set you can create a wonderful layout - very simple but effective.

Merry Christmas Card - Modern Essential Dies

Hello everyone, Adriana here today with my last christmas card post for this year. I have created a few Christmas Cards this year using papers and dies from the Couture Creations HIGHLAND CHRISTMAS, and I couldn't resist using the soon to be released "Modern Essentials" cut, foil and emboss die frames.

Oh wow!!! these nesting dies frames can foil, cut and emboss at the same time but the most excellent part is that if you don't have a foiling machine you can still use these nesting dies with your die cutting machine. Oh the possibilities are unless :)

It is a three piece set...  here is my special Merry Christmas card





So loving the Rose Gold Foiling ....
