Special cards 3 ways - technique

Hi everyone Adriana here today, and thanks for stopping by here on  
the Couture Creations blog.

Today, I wanted to showcase the versatile the Cut, Foil & Emboss dies which are all super easy to create with. The Couture Creations Cut, Foil & Emboss dies are so easy to use and I created 3 different cards in 3 different ways with one set from this Modern  Essential collection. There is another collection which has just been released by Couture Creations  called the "Esthetica Collection" Cut, foil and emboss dies - and they too can be used in the exactly the same way as my three cards today.
