Daffodil Gift Bag - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my inspiration post.

I made a Gift Bag using the Vintage Blooms and Flourish & Thrive Collections from Couture Creations.

Step by Step Instructions:

I first trimmed Mystique Cardstock to 4 7/8" x 8 3/8".

I then used the Flourish & Thrive Box Leaf Waxflowers Stencil, Blending Brush and Platinum White Pigment Ink on the Mystique Cardstock. To prevent the cardstock of moving I used the All-In-One Magnetic Art Work Station.

I then stamped the Vintage Blooms Daffodils Stamp onto Blending Card using the Colour Outline Ink Pad Soft Black and coloured it with the Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers Combinations:

Watering Can: 545, 535, 7510

Leaves: 9544, 2288, 377

Daffodils: 120, 123, 151, 479

Pansies: 106, 234, 216, 232, 659, 2727, 2925 and White Gel Pen

I fussy-cut the stamped image with the Couture Creations Small General Purpose Scissor and adhere it onto the gift bag using 3D foam dots.

I then die-cut Silver Mirror Board with the Homely Florals Love and Smile Butterfly and Leave Dies and adhere it onto the gift bag using 3D foam dots.

I stamped the Flourish & Thrive Christmas Bells Sentiment Stamp onto Mystique Cardstock and heat embossed it.

I then die-cut it with the Scalloped Oval Die and adhere it onto the gift bag using 3D foam dots to finish.

Sunflower Envelope Box Card - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my inspiration post.

I made an Envelope Box Card using the Vintage Blooms Collection Stamp and coloured it with the Couture Creations Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers.

I found the inspiration from Sam's Blog.

Step by Step Instructions:

My video tutorial below will show you how to create the fabulous Envelope Box Card and you find all the measurements in the video.

I trimmed White Smooth Cardstock to 8 1/4" x 8 3/4", score and fold the cardstock to create the card base.

To decorate the envelope box on the inside and outside I trimmed white cardstock to 4 1/4" x 8" and 4 1/4" x 4 1/4". I used oxide ink to create the background and after it dried I stamped it randomly with the Vintage Blooms Sunflowers Stamp Set using the Colour Outline Ink Pad Soft Black.

I then stamped the Vintage Blooms Sunflowers Stamp onto Blending Card using the Colour Outline Ink Pad Soft Black and coloured it with the Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers Combinations:

Sunflower: 120, 123, 151, 7565, 2321

Leaves: 9544, 358, 350

Butterfly: 279, 2727, 286, 319, 323, 327, 2213 White Gel Pen

Blue Flower: 279, 2727, 286, 2283, 358 White Gel Pen

Orange Flower: 155, 3572, 173

I fussy-cut the stamped image with the Couture Creations Small General Purpose Scissor and adhere it onto the Envelope Box Card using 3D foam dots.

I then die-cut white cardstock and Mirror Board Matte Gold Lines with the Lavender Love Garden Frame, Homely Florals Happy Sentiment, Le Petit Jardin Morning Flourish Decorative and Peaceful Peonies Tall Branches Dies to finish.

Twisted Easel Card With Drawer - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my inspiration post.

For the third and last Press Print I made with the Couture Creations Gel Printing Plate I thought I will make a Twisted Easel Card with Drawer. I used the Lucy's Every Day Outline Stamp and Homely Florals Collection from Couture Creations.

Step by Step Instructions:

For all the measurements to create the Twisted Easel Card with Drawer just follow my video tutorial below.

I first trimmed Verde Cardstock, score it and fold the score lines. I used the Couture Creations Tabletop General Purpose Scissor to cut and create the Twisted Easel Card.

I then cut the Stencil Technique Press Print I created with the Gel Printing Plate and adhere it onto the Twisted Easel Card using Couture Creations Quick Dry Adhesive.

If you unfamiliar to the Gel Printing Plate or just want to familiarize yourself again just visit my Gel Printing Plate Technique Blog Post. I made Four Videos showing you how to create with the Gel Plate.

Gel Printing Plate Video Links:

- Video 1 - Preparation Part 1

https://youtu.be/mKfAlZSO5r0

- Video 3 - Stencil Technique Part 3

https://youtu.be/YHNWigsqmag

I then cut Blending Card and stamped the Lucy's Every Day Just For You Butterfly and She Believed Stamp using the Stamp and Colour Outline Ink Pad Soft Black. I coloured it with the Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers.

I fussy-cut the butterflies with the Couture Creations Small General Purpose Scissor and adhere it onto the Twisted Easel Card using 3D foam dots.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers Combinations:

Butterfly: 9544, 2288, 377, 263, 211, 231, 673, White Gel Pen

Leaves: 377, 371, 7538

Background: 2288, Colourless Blender 0

I also stamped the Lucy's Every Day Just For You Butterfly Stamp onto white cardstock using the Apple Green Pigment Ink and fussy-cut it with the Couture Creations Small General Purpose Scissor.

I die-cut Mirror Board Matte Gold Lines Cardstock with the Homely Florals Happy and Love Sentiment Die and adhered it onto the Twisted Easel Card using the Couture Creations All Purpose Art Glue Adhesive.

I also added Pharaoh Liquid Drops 3D Pearls.

I then die-cut Verde Cardstock with the Circle Nesting Die and glued the Homely Florals DieCut Ephemera onto the cardstock using the Couture Creations Quick Dry Adhesive. I adhered the sentiment as a stopper for the Twisted Easel Card using 3D foam dots to finish.
