Best Wishes 3D decoupage cards with Adriana

Hello there everyone, welcome back 

today is just a quick blog post showcasing some more cards created with the new release of 3D decoupage sheets SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION also adding some of the collection of papers, dies and some cut, foil & emboss sentiments all available now from

Couture Creations 

How cute are these Kookaburras, very cute indeed ! LOL :)
Here are my BEST WISHES Cards all created with Couture Creations products.




The framed circle is created with the Modern Essential Cut , foil and emboss die and Card Deco Pigment Olive Green ink pad. So instead of foiling I just inked the die with pigment ink and placed it in my die cutting machine. No foiling but such a beautiful embossed and inked framed element.

The layer decoupage kookaburra is so cute :)





Using the Modern Essential cut foil & emboss CO726465 Nesting Lacey Frames dies but I didn't foil this die, I just inked the whole die with green pigment ink and placed it through my die cutting machine. Super easy!!

The 3D decoupage sheet that I have created my two cards is the

CO727185 Kookaburra 3D decoupage sheet

Adding some sections from the papers 
CO727289 Sunburnt country 12 x 12 -  Sheet 11
CO727284 Sunburnt Country 12 x 12 - Sheet 6
CO727280 Sunburnt Country 12 x 12 - Sheet 2
CO727288 Sunburnt Country 12x 12 - Sheet 3

with some of the mini dies from Sunburnt Country Collection
CO727221 Sunburnt Country Eucalyptus branch mini die
CO727227 Sunburnt Country Acacia Branch mini die
CO727233 Sunburnt Country Fenced In mini die


both cards have the word sentiment from the
Dazzlia "BEST WISHES". CO726716 

I have a video that I created with the same cut foil and emboss dies but with different cards but the process is the same -

Beltana Station - Outback - South Australia

Hello there everyone and welcome back,

Today I am sharing another page layout showcasing some of the new releases papers from Couture Creations, the fabulous

 SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION 

This collection has 12 x 12 papers, small paper pads, dies, stamps and decoupage sheets and coaster-board and chipboards.

This layout depicts the a scene at Beltana Station near the Flinders Ranges in the country of South Australia

My Darling Daughter took this photo when she went to school camp and
the landscape is very red and very much dry dirt everywhere.
I think the papers are very fitting for this collection and the additional elements of dies cutting and coaster board is just perfect for the photograph.

The flowers  were cut from the 6.5 x 6.5 paper pad of the 
Sunburnt Country Collection 

Slightly inked the coaster boards around the edges

Sydney Road Trip - Sunburnt Country Collection

Hello there everyone and welcome back,

Today I am sharing another page layout showcasing some of the new release from Couture Creations, the

 SUNBURNT COUNTRY COLLECTION 

This collection has 12 x 12 papers, small paper pads, dies, stamps and decoupage sheets and coaster-board.


I love travelling around the world, visiting so many beautiful places but I also think we have some amazing places here in Australia. A few years ago we were able to go to Sydney in January and staying there on Australia Day January 26th.  The day was amazing as the Sydney Harbour was in party mood.  This picture was taken over the other side of Opera House and
a few airforce planes were flying over to make the celebrations of Australia Day.

The layout is created with some of papers and a few mini dies and added some coaster boards from this collection - again I am trying so hard not to make these pages lumpy and bumpy as this page will go into an album.
The technique I have featured here is using leftover die cuts as a stencil.
Be sure to go the end of this blog post to see my short video on this technique.

Using the reverse side of paper CO727289 from the Sunburnt Country Collection
I love all the Aussie language script on this paper eg G'day, Strewth, Howzat!!
Together with a script of reverse side of CO727284 paper

Distressed each side of the papers 
and adding some ink colour with Card Deco CDEIPU028 Brown Dye ink 

The technique featured in my video is of the Eucalyptus Leaves scattered around the framed photo, this fabulous technique using the leftovers from the die cutting of the mini die CO727221 Eucalyptus, with Card Deco Essential Olive Green Pigment Ink CDEIPL018.








I then fuzzy cut the bird from the 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad and added some more die cutting elements from the collection
CO727227 Acacia Mini Branch Die
CO727221 Eucalyptus Mini Die
CO727233 Fenced in Mini Die




I then stamped and heat embossed the mini stamp
CO727201 Warratah Mini stamp - coloured it in with watercolour pencils
and added to the page 




ROAD TRIP Mini die CO727210

Then adding the final touch on the page
Coasterboard CO727241 Wonders Coaster Board set of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House - just perfect for this page.
The word "New South Wales" from the cities sentiments collection of coaster board CO727271, these were slightly inked on the sides with brown ink colour.
