Paris in Autumn


Hi there everyone, today and I am sharing 
a my layout using only just - ONE diecut from the Couture Creations.
The brand new release diecut collection called
"Everyday Essentials" and the only one die I used for my layout is
the "AUTUMN LEAF"   C0724112


Here is my layout......"PARIS in Autumn"


and here is my step-by-step on how to create
the background and flower ..... using yes!!, just ....ONE little die....

"AUTUMN LEAF"   C0724112

First to create the unique leaf Flower...
1. Cut various coloured cardstock with the Autumn Leaf Die
(I used Core'dinations cardstock)



HINT: do not throw away the cut out pieces of the
cardstock, save these for later on.





2. Sand the edges with  couture creation sanding block and then
ink edges with Couture Creations Sponge Dabbers 



3. Cut a circle out of cardstock and place three leaf diecuts around the outside edge.


4. Layer a second layer of Autumn Leaf diecut, this time
placing foam dots under each leaf.


5. With the fabulous Craft tool, Couture Creations LED Tweezers 
place some Couture Creations Gemstones  C0721994
in the centre of the flower.


6. Add some Autumn leaf diecuts around the flower and
apply some Gltizing Glamour Glitter Glue - Pink.


7. Now with these off cuts from cutting the diecuts, we are going to
use these as stencils for the background.


8. Using the Couture Creations Sponge Dabbers  and inkpad
gently ink around your layout creating a field of leaves background effect.



9. Adhere your photo and also more leaf diecuts around the edges of your photo.


10. Adhere your finished Autumn Leaf flower.



I used an Imaginairum Designs Chipboard word - PARIS
inked and added some glossy accents on it.

Paris in Autumn -
 I was very lucky to be able to go to Paris last year - 
I was expecting the weather to be very cold, cloudy and raining, 
no leaves on trees. 
We visited this beautiful city at the end of September/October. 
To our surprise we had glorious, sunny days, 
so the photo in my layout is actually a Postcard which I purchased in Paris.

Photographed from the Pont Alexander III looking over the Siene
with the Effiel Tower in the background. Gorgeous memories :)



Thanks for looking, 'til next time.

Creative Inspirations Magazine #7 & Pretty Cards


Hello!! there everyone, thanks for stopping by today,
is it my turn again at Couture Creations

Today I have created two cards with various diecuts from 
Couture Creations and along with the beautiful new papers,
from Couture Creations.

BUT, I have some more exciting news


I created a "Very Wise Old Owl" with Couture Creations
leaf dies with the new release Everyday Essentials  collections,
and it is on the front cover of latest
Issue 7 Creative Inspiration magazine.
Very excited to have my Wise Owl on the cover :)



Here is my original creation, 
creative with many leaf dies…..




In this magazine it is showcasing the Jan/Feb 2015 Releases
Everyday Essentials
Frames n Frills
Background Savvy
also the
Vintage Rose Garden Patterned Papers 

Vintage Rose Dies

and you get your first look at our new
Flower Collection

Ask for the Creative Inspiration magazine at your local paper-crafting store 
or view it online 



now for my two quick and easy cards.....




With the first card -  I cut three of the 
Vintage Rose Diecut - Celtic Leaf C0724048
and also cut three square backgrounds for each diecut

Celtic Leaf C0724048

also I cut some Vintage rose papers and adhere to the card, adding a flourish chipboard from Imaginairum Designs.




 Here is the finished card.....I placed a touch of Glitter Glitz on chipboard and also added some flowers.
Added foam tape under each celtic square for a more 3D effect.





for my second card "Happy Birthday" card
 I used a Floral Lace diecut - Daisy Doily C0724006





which I mounted on a Nesting Scallopped circle diecut and then 
I cut in half and place on top an bottom of the 
cardstock. Using the Vintage rose papers, for the background.
I also cut 2  Merry Little Christmas die cut- Christmas Branch C0723913



Although this vine/branch is themed for christmas, 
there is nothing to stop you from using it as a leaf embellishment 
with flowers.





Here is the finished card with Imaginairum Designs chipboard 
word "Happy Birthday"
on the leaves and chipboard words.











Thanks for looking

Cheers Adriana xx:)
