Poppy in a Frame - Lest We Forget - Couture Creations

Hi all,

Today I wanted to show you a card I created using the wonderful Lest We Forget Collections
 with Couture Creations.. I love this collection as it brings back memories from my dad 
and is a great way to remember all our returned service people.  


I embossed a piece of cardstock twice with the Heart Ease Frame CO724378  embossing folder. 
I cut the middle piece out of the second embossed cardstock and adhered it on the centre of the card front with 3D foam tape. 


I adhered the fussy cut poppy on the centre with 3D foam tape..


I die cut the Lest We Forget die 4 times in white cardstock and once in a glitter grey cardstock. I adhered them together off centring the last white on top of the grey so it gives a shadow effect.. 


This frame is just gorgeous and there are so many uses for it..


I hope I have inspired you
to create glorious things..

Butterfly in a field of Poppies Card - April 2020 - Couture Creations

Hi all

Today I have created a card with the Lest We Forget Collection and the gorgeous Butterfly from the Steampunk Dreams Collection.

I stamped these on stick note holders  and cut them out on the actual outer lines to create masks.


Stamping the card base using the masks so they don't over lap.


You can see in this photo if I had just stamped the images without the mask they would have stamped over each other.. This way the flowers and stems look like they are on top of each other or under each other..


The finished card..




Interesting is all I can say lol..


I hope I have inspired you
to create glorious things..

Poppies and Wings Canvas - Couture Creations

Hi all,

Today I created a mixed Media Canvas using Steampunk Dreams and Lest We Forget Collections from Couture Creations
I painted the canvas with white gesso and while still damp painted different colours on it with
acrylic paints. When dried I stamped the canvas with a stamp from the Steampunk Dreams collection.


Can you believe this mixed media canvas has the base from above lol..
I fussy cut the flowers from scrap paper and die cut the cogs from the Steampunk Dreams collection dies..


I love how this came together.. I stamped the wings and heart twice and fussy cut the heart from the second set and popped it on using 3D foam tape.. 



I hope I have inspired you 
to create glorious things.

Lest We Forget Book - April 2020 Couture Creations

Hi all,

Here I am again for Couture Creations using the wonderful Lest We Forget Collection.
I love this piece of paper CO727677 Papers 3 and wanted it on the cover of whatever I was going to create.. In this case a small book..  I thought the Cross Mini Die  and the Lest We Forget Die were perfect to showcase it..


The book opened to show you all the pages.


I adore the CO727690 Anzac Day die, the CO727684 Standing Vigil Man die and the 
CO727686 Poppy die from the Slouch Hat die set. 
I fussy cut the flower from CO727706 Papers 7 and the stamped Poppy Leaves CO727692..Popping it up on Foam Tape with the title of the paper collection on the leaves was all it needed on this page..


How wonderful are these CO727693 Boots Mini Stamps, combine that with the Anzac Day stamp and the Growing Together Poppy Stamp and you have two wonderful pages.. I did heat emboss both the Growing Together Poppy stamp set and the Anzac Day stamp and it looks wonderful in real life..


The CO727696 Eternal Flame Die with the gold behind it really stands out on this page.. A fussy cut Poppy and leaf and the page is finished .. I adore the CO727697 Memorial Mini Stamp and knew I had to hand write the Anzac Ode We Will Remember Them. I highlighted the stamped image to stand out more and glossed over him to give a raised effect.. 


How gorgeous is that CO727681 Layered Poppy Mini Die and the Poppy leaves stamp.. 
The Slouch Hat with the mini Poppy is fantastic.. 


The back two pages has computer generated words and the fussy cut



I hope I have inspired you
to create glorious things..

April Flower Tag Pocket Book - Life Within The Seed 2 - AVSC

Hi all,

Can you believe we are in  April already; it seems I say this every month but it is so true
 'Where does the time go'.. 
I love this kit from Aunty Vera, it is so versatile and so much fun to create with..

I made a tag pocket book with three tags, I hope you like it.

Cut a piece of cardstock 8 1/4 inches x 5 3/4 inches. Score 3 7/8 inches and 4 3/8 inches.
Cut a piece of cardstock for the pocket at 5 1/2 inches x 4 inches, Score 1/2 inch and 1 inch around three sides. Cut the pocket as shown. 


Cut four plain Mats for the Tag Book 5 1/2 inches x 3 5/8 inches and two strips for the 
spine 5 1/2 inches x  3/8 inch. Cut three patterned mats at 5 3/8 inches x 3 3/8 inches.


For the pocket cut one plain cardstock at 3 3/8 inches x 2 7/8 inches
One patterned paper at 3 1/8 inch x 2 3/4 inch
Cut three strips 2 7/8 inches x 3/8 inch


Attach the pocket as shown.


Cut four tags 3 inches x 4 1/4 inch.
I used the smallest of the Grand Label Four to cut the tag tops.




I used the yellow tag for the cover with all the chipboard goodies from the kit..
I also cut the name BoBunny from the paper to give the tag a little interest.. 
The washie tape looks just right for the rabbit..  


Opened book.
Look at all the lush colours. and lots of eye candy..


The three tags..


Using washie tape to highlight area's and a chipboard frame from the Provincial wooden flourish pack is all you really need.  I couldn't help myself, I had to include some of the mini bunnies as they are so cute..



Inside tags:  Tag 1. I just love, love, love this stamp set Illustrated Garden from Tim Holtz. I stamped this on a tag first then on to assorted papers and fussy cut the leaves and flowers out. I matched them up to the stamped imaged and added tiny beads for the centres.. My favourite tag..


Tag 2. How darn cute is this chicken from the Eggstra Special stamp set.. I stamped the images onto the gorgeous paper and die cut the images using the matching dies.  Again I used assorted 
washie tape to bring it to life..


Tag 3.  I used chipboard flowers as the centre focus and of course added a whole bunch of tiny bunnies sitting in the long grass washie tape.
