Celebrate in Style - HIs & Hers card

Hi everyone Adriana here today, and it's my turn on the Couture Creations blog.

Today, I wanted to showcase how quick, easy and versatile the Cut, Foil & emboss dies are to create with, so if you do not have a Go Press and Foil machine - you can just ink some colour with some pigment inks onto the Cut, Foil & Emboss dies, place some card stock on top and sandwich it through your manual die cutting machine. It will cut and leave a stamped ink image on to cardstock or paper, it so super easy !!

The Cut, Foil & Emboss dies, papers and dies and hot foil stamps that I created for my two cards today are from the new release GENTLEMAN"S EMPORIUM COLLECTION

from Couture Creations.

I also wanted to show how I created the bases or backgrounds of my two cards, and by adding some flowers - I have a feminine card and but adding a Bow tie to the other card a masculine.  This collection is so wonderful for both masculine or feminine projects!!

Here are my two very easy and quick cards 

The techniques and step by step tutorial is just below the photos. 

Enjoy every moment card
