Thank You Card & Gift Box - Couture Creations

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

After careful consideration I made the tough decision that it is time for me to move on and  unfortunately this will be my last inspiration projects for Couture Creations. I want to thank Couture Creations and  especially Andrew, Tania and Meghan for the wonderful opportunity working with them. I have enjoyed using all the beautiful Couture Creations collections and products. Learned new things and loved creating with it. I wishing Couture Creations and the Design Team all of the best for the future.

I made a Card and Gift Box with the Elegance Collection from Couture Creations. I used the foil, die-cut and heat emboss techniques to create my card. 

I found the inspiration from Julie's Blog. I did not follow all her steps, instead I made some changes and put my spin on it.

Step by Step Instructions:

Card

I first trimmed Caruso Cardstock to 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" and layered it onto the card front.

To create a background I die-cut white cardstock with the Elegance Beautiful DL Border Die and layered it onto the card front. I think this is just a great idea to use the border die in another way.

Following on from this I cut Smooth White Cardstock to 2 5/8" x 4 3/4" and adhered it onto the card front.

I then cut Caruso Cardstock to 2 3/8" x 4 1/2" and adhered it onto the white cardstock using 3D foam Dots.

Following on from this I stamped the Elegance Aster Stamp onto Smooth White Cardstock using the Embossing Ink Pad and Metallics Embossing Powder and heat emboss it. 

I then stamped the Elegance Aster Stamp onto the embossed Aster using Card Deco Essentials Turquoise Pigment Ink. 

Following on from this I coloured the aster flowers using the Turquoise Pigment Ink with a Water Brush, die-cut it with the Elegance Aster Die and adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots.

I then foiled with the Elegance Sending Love Hotfoil Stamp using Smooth White Cardstock, Gold Matt Finish Heat Activated Foil and the GoPress and Foil Machine. 

Following on from this I die-cut the foiled sentiment with the Elegance Sending Love Hotfoil Die and adhered it onto the card front using 3D Foam Dots.

Follow my video tutorial below to learn how to foil with the Elegance Sending Love Hotfoil Stamp.

I then die-cut white cardstock with the You Are Adorable Leaf Die and adhered it onto the card front.

Gift Box

I first trimmed Smooth White Cardstock to 8 1/2" x 10" and score it at 1 1/2" and 3" on all sides using the Scoring Board. 

I then fold the scored lines and cut the cardstock.  The photo down below shows you how to cut the cardstock.

Following on from this I first glued the small tabs onto the cardstock using Turbo Tacky Glue. 

I then trimmed the other two flaps using the Tabletop General Scissor and glued the top tabs to the inside of the box to reinforce it.

Following on from this I cut Caruso Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 9 3/4" and scored it at 1 1/2", 3", 5 5/8" and 7 1/8". 

I fold the score lines and die-cut the 7 1/8" side with the Elegance Beautiful DL Border Die.

Following on from this I glued the white box onto the cardstock and also the sides of the box. 

I added a Hook and Loop Spot to close the two flaps of the gift box.

Following on from this I added the white cardstock border die-cuts onto the front of the lid using All Purpose Art Glue. Refer to my card instructions above on how to die-cut the Elegance Beautiful DL Border Die.

I then added a heat embossed aster flower, die-cut Caruso Cardstock with the You Are Adorable Leaf Die and adhered it onto the flap using 3D foam dots to finish.

Embossing Folder Techniques - Couture Creations

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

Today I want to share two amazing Embossing Folder Techniques with you. I used the Elegance Collection and coloured one of the embossing folder techniques with the Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers from Couture Creations. 

Step by Step Instructions:

Card 1 - Embossing Folder & Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers

My video tutorial below will show you how to create this fabulous card using the first Embossing Folder Technique.

For the card base I used a White Tall Card. I first die-cut the Smooth White Cardstock with the Hanging Bauble Nesting Die and embossed it using the Elegance Framed Bouquet DL Embossing Folder.

Following on from this I used the first embossing folder technique using the Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers to colour the embossed cardstock.

Twin Tip Alcohol Ink Markers Combinations:

Flower: 216, 234, 86

Daisy: 3935, 106, 123, 134, 7565, White Gel Pen

Rose: 206, 193, 220, 188

Leaves: 354, 358, 7743

Background: WG1

I trimmed Jungle Cardstock to 3 3/4" x 8", layered the coloured image onto the cardstock and adhered it onto the card front.

Following on from this I stamped the Elegance Thank You Mini Sentiment Stamp onto Smooth White Cardstock and heat embossed it. I used the Embossing Ink Pad and the Mirror Platinum Classic Metallics Embossing Powder.

I then die-cut the embossed sentiment with the Elegance Thank You Sentiment Die.

To finish I added Emerald Green Adhesive Pearls and Liquid Drops 3D Pearls. 

I just love the beautiful erased effect you get using this embossing folder technique.

Card 2 - Embossing Folder & White Pigment Ink

Follow my video tutorial below to learn how to use the second Embossing Folder Technique to create this fabulous card. 

I first trimmed Smooth White Cardstock to 8 3/4" x 8 3/4", scored it at 4 3/8" and fold it to create the card base.

I then trimmed Blue Diamond Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" and embossed it with the Elegance Framed Bouquet DL Embossing Folder.

Following on from this I used the second embossing folder technique and applied white pigment ink over the erased areas using a Sponge Dauber.

I then die-cut Smooth White Cardstock with the Elegance Happy Birthday Die and adhered it onto the card front using All Purpose Art Glue to finish.

I think this embossing folder technique just gives the card a soft and elegant look.
