Hello!! there everyone,
Thanks for dropping by,
is it my turn again today at Couture Creations. 
The best part of be on this wonderful Design Team, is having fun and playing with so many lovely designed dies and embossing folders.

Today I have created a very simple card using the many diecuts from Couture Creations
and layering them on top of each other. I created this card with the beautiful new papers
Vintage Rose paper collection from Couture Creations, designed by Denise Boddey.
These papers are so so lovely.





I created the 3D effect with Couture Creations 3D Glue spots these
are fabulous because they are clear.
there are 3 in total - Splendour C0723311
                                        Fancy Frame C0723312

"Vintage Rose" Christmas Card


Hello!! there everyone, thanks for stopping by :)


The best part of being on some of the wonderful Design Teams, is having fun and playing with so many lovely designed dies, embossing folders and papers. I am very lucky to have many of the Christmas Diecuts and embossing folders which have been released this year, by Couture Creations.  So I decided
to create a very, very  "Vintage Rose Christmas Card".

With the beautiful new papers
Vintage Rose paper collection  from Couture Creations, 
designed by Denise Boddey.
Now these papers are not Christmas papers, they are very soft and pretty
but
why not use them for your Christmas cards and tags, with
very soft pink and greens and with touches of cream, 
a very soft coloured Christmas Card can be created.
I think it looks lovely!!!! ....what do you think??












The list of dies and materials used are on the bottom of this blog.





I have created more cards and tags with this paper collection -
 but I will show you these much later on this month.
Until then.....

Hope you like my Christmas Card.  :)

Australian Scrapbooking Ideas #29 - Altered Jewellery Boxes


Hi everyone.......the lastest issue of 
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas" Issue #29
is out NOW
I am very excited and fortunate to have 3 projects publishing in this issue.

Today, I will share the projects here on my blog
all the step by step and materials list
is in the magazine.

My commissioned projects was to create with old jewellery boxes.
MY daughter had a couple of them, Now that she is a little older, she has finished playing with them. They still play music, when you turn the key,
so I recycled them and altered them to make them new.

The first one I altered it into a shabby chic, very pretty jewel box,
  It was originally
a "Dora, the Explorer" jewel box.... I have
a photo of it below, of what it originally looked like....
lots of lace, velvet flowers from "Meg's Garden" and some of the
Papers from "Kaisercraft".....




The orginal box.. before its transformation.....




Next is a gentleman's gift box, decorated with
stunning metal pieces and using the
 "Couture Creations" Diecut - Art Deco Border.....





The top view with metal and paint finishing touches.
This was an box I picked up from
a discount dollar store.......

And my last jewellery box was originally
all quilted and painted pastel pink, and I turned it into
a treasure box for a little boy.....
A place to keep little shells, and bits & bobs....





 I decorated and lined the inside ...

Thanks go to "Kaisercraft" for the papers
"Meg's Garden" for the velvet flowers, trimmings and lace
and "Couture Creations" for the diecuts.

I thank these companies for allowing me to showcase their products
on my blog and in the magazine.

Now, all the materials and the steps by steps
on how to make your very own simple altered jewel box is
in the step by step in the magazine,
so do yourself a favour and purchase ASI #29 magazine at your local 
Scrapbooking store or newsagent shop. 
My altered box is on the cover - it a small photo
but it is on the cover...  Hooray... very excited!!!!



Until next time, please let me know if you have
created your own little altered jewel box.
I would love to see your take on it.....

Cheers  Adriana  xx  :)
