World Card Making Day 2017 !!

Hi everyone, today is WORLD CARD MAKING DAY and I am sharing a few cards that I have created with some of the new release products from 

Artdeco Creations - Couture Creations - Ultimate Crafts -

"It's Beginning to look like Christmas".  

This collection has some amazing dies and hot foil stamps

and also there are three large fabulous stamp sets - perfect for stamping and also using them with embossing powders!! That's how I created all the backgrounds of my projects today!!

All the products that I have used to create these cards are listed at the end 

of each card that I have created.

Today I wanted to showcase one of the large stamp from the Ultimate Crafts
"It's beginning to look like Christmas" collection called the

 "Fractal Snowflakes" ULT158305.

I have created my cards with this is quite a large stamp - 5"x7" which is perfect for so many different projects, and because it is 5'X7' it doesn't mean that your project has to be that size - you could use a little section of the stamp design for your project.

ULT158305 Fractal Snowflakes.

Using an embossing ink pad or Versamark ink pad and some embossing powders you can create some wonderful projects. I used the
Couture Creations Embossing Powders "Chunky White" CO724967
and the
Couture Creations Embossing Powder "Kettle Copper Bronze"Co724967 
I stamped my piece of white card stock 4"x6" with the stamp and I then sprinkled the powders and heated it with my heat gun, to set the powders.

Adding some blue oxide hue of colour to the background - on both my cards

for the background colour!

Matting the snowflake panels on white card stock and Bronze Mirror Board

 and then

cutting two of the 

Craft Concepts Label die "Grace" CR381113  with white card stock.

(ask for it from your local paper craft store to get it in for you, this is note. new release die but still available from Artdeco Creations, so perfect to use with the Go Press, Foil & Machine by Couture Creations,)

Craft Concepts- Label Die "GRACE" CR381113

Using the "It's beginning to look like Christmas "Season's Greetings" hot foil stamp from the same collection and together with the awesome  

"Go Press and Foil" machine -  I foiled the words "Season's Greetings" 

on the die cut labels.

Joyful Greetings Card - Couture Creations

Hi everyone, thanks so much for stopping by here today.  
Today, I am still creating more Christmas cards for this year..... Are you all ready !!!  

Using the christmas papers and dies from the 

Artdeco Creations - Ultimate Craft Collection  

"Season's Greetings Collection 

These dies and papers are all available now from your local scrapbooking store.

Teamed up with other products that are available from Couture Creations, Ultimate Crafts & Craft Concepts.

So here is my Christmas card

"JOYFUL GREETINGS"

My dream is that one day, I will have and enjoy a very White Christmas complete with sleigh bells, snow and ice.

Today I have created a White Christmas card -
complete with glittery snow icicles on the window frame.

Created with the Season's Greetings Collection dies

Ornate Window Frame Die ULT157688

Rustic Christmas die ULT157690
Wild Christmas Flower ULT157691

Stampset Joyful Greeting ULT157674

also adding some
Glitzin Glamour Glitter Glue - Crystallina C0721971
Acetate Sheet C0724603
3mm Red Pearl Stones C0724636

On the Edge Die - Cleo Border C0724757

I firstly embossed some white card stock and then cut two
On the Edge die cut - Cleo Border C0724757
and adhered them on each side of the card.

Using the Vintage Sign Nesting die I then cut out the middle of the embossed card
and added double foam tape to the outer edge of the card and layered this on top of the card.

With Brown and Green cardstock the pinecone and leaves with the
Rustic Christmas die ULT157690 Layering them on top of each other.
and glued that to the top of the card

Cut with white card stock the Ornate Window Frame Die ULT157688 and
adhered some clear acetate inside the frame, turned it around and on the back and then apply some Texture Paste- Anna Griffin - this will give the effect of a frosted glass in the window frame. Also adhered some double side foam tape C0723899 on the other edges and placed this inside the middle of the card.

To create snow icicles dripping down the window - I applied some Glitinz Glitter Glue - Crystalina C0721971 on some Acetate Sheet C0724603 let it completely dry and once dry

Gently peeled the fake snow icicles off the Acetate Sheet C0724603 and placed them on the window frame with glue.

Ink the edges of the window frame. Glue the snow icicles on the window frame.

Create a cluster of pine leaves with the
Wild Christmas Flower ULT157691 and different coloured card stock
Add some flowers in the centre and touch the leaves and flowers with a little bit of white gesso and Glitzin Glitter Glue - Crystalina C0721971 as well.
Placed some  here and there, as show below.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampset Joyful Greeting ULT157674

Adhere this to the top of card.

So I have now created another Christmas Card.

Wild At Heart - Imaginarium Designs

Hello everyone, 
Today, I am excited to be back at "Imaginarium Designs blog as a Guest Designer this month, using chipboards to create a layout.

Here is my layout -

"WILD AT HEART"
I used the papers and stamp set and flowers from a Christmas collection
"Season's Greetings" from Couture Creations. I just want to also show you Christmas collections of papers and embellishments really can be used for other themes projects.

Below is the word title "WILD AT HEART" chipboard  IDP0181, in which I applied a couple of coats of gesso.I love how the white stands out from all the red and brown tones.

I inked all the hearts shapes from the chipboard called
"LOU's HEART SHAPES"  IDDL0015, also adding some glossy accents on top.

I also inked some of the NAT"S HAND DRAWN LEAVES" IDDL0015 with green ink pad and adhered around, underneath the flowers.
