Cute and Cuddly Layout - Couture Creations

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

I made a Scrapbook Layout with the Lavender Love Collection from Couture Creations. 

Step by Step Instructions:

I have used Paper 6 from the Lavender Love Collection and made layers with Lavender Love Patterned Paper 1, 7 and 8 and distressed it. I added it onto the layout using Liquid Scrap Dots.

For the Title and Tag I stamped the Cute and Cuddly Sentiment Set using Embossing Ink Pad and Mirror Platinum Classic Metallics Embossing Powder and heat emboss it.

Following on from this I foiled and die-cut the Lavender Love Rustic Wreath Cut and Create Die with Purple Deep Mirror Finish Heat Activated Foil using the GoPress and Foil Machine. 

Click my video tutorial below to learn how to use the Lavender Love Rustic Wreath Cut and Create Die in 3 ways.

Following on from this I started adding flowers and die-cuts using the Lavender Love Ephemera. I also added Seafoam 3D Liquid Drops onto the butterfly ephemera and mould it using the Scoring and Moulding Tool Set.

To finish off I die-cut Paper Bag Cardstock with the Lavender Love Weathered Fences Dies and added it to my clusters of ephemera flowers.

Gatefold Easel Calendar Card - Couture Creations

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

I made a Gatefold Easel Calendar Card with the Lavender Love Collection from Couture Creations. 

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

Step by Step Instructions:

My video tutorial below will show you how to create the fabulous Gatefold Easel Card & Calendar and you will also find all the measurements.

I trimmed Smooth White Cardstock, score and fold the cardstock to create the card base.

I cut Navy Cardstock, Lavender Love Patterned Paper 3 and 4 layered it onto each other and adhered it onto the card base.

I then cut Navy Cardstock to 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" layered the Calendar Tab 2023 onto the cardstock and adhered onto the card base. 

I also die-cut Paper Bag Cardstock with the Lavender Love Weathered Fences Die and adhered it onto the card base. Following from this I also added Lavender Love Ephemera.

For the stopper of the easel card I die-cut Smooth White Cardstock with the Modern Essentials Nesting Inset Oval Frame Cut, Foil and Emboss Die. Follow my video tutorial below to learn how to add this feature.

I stamped the Flourish & Thrive Box Christmas Bells Sentiment Stamp onto the smooth white cardstock die-cut using the Embossing Ink Pad, Mirror Platinum Classic Metallics Embossing Powder and heat embossing it. I then added Emerald Green Adhesive Pearls and adhered it onto the card base.

Belly Band

I trimmed Navy Cardstock to 1 1/4" x 10" and decorated it with stamping the Flourish & Thrive Box Leaf Waxflowers Sentiment Stamp onto the smooth white cardstock die-cut using the Embossing Ink Pad, Mirror Platinum Classic Metallics Embossing Powder and heat embossing it. 

I then added Emerald Green Adhesive Pearls, Green Mulberry Paper Long Grass, Baby Blue and White Lavender Stems and adhered it onto the belly band to finish.

Step by Step Instructions:

Desk Top Calendar 1

I first trimmed Smooth White cardstock to 4 1/2" x 11" and score it at 5 1/2" to create card base.

For the stand I trimmed white cardstock to 4" x 4 1/2" and score 4" side at 1/2" and 2" turn it and score it at 1/2". I fold it in half, then fold 1/2" flaps back (looks like a "w") and adhere the stand along the inside edges of the tent (middle fold is up).

I trimmed Caledon Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" and Lavender Love Patterned Paper 6 to 4" x 5".

I then cut Caledon Cardstock to 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" layered the Calendar Tab 2023 onto the cardstock and adhered onto the desk top front. 

To finish I fussy-cut Lavender Love Patterned Paper 8 and adhered the butterfly ephemera onto the desk top front. I also added Seafoam 3D Liquid Drops onto the butterfly ephemera.

Desk Top Calendar 2

I followed the same measurements for the Desk Top Calendar base as above.

I trimmed Violet Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" and Lavender Love Patterned Paper 3 to 4" x 5".

I then cut Violet Cardstock to 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" layered the Calendar Tab 2023 onto the cardstock and adhered onto the desk top front.

Altenew October 2022 Inspiration Challenge

Hi Everyone, hope you are all having a good week. I would like to share a card with you that I am entering into the Altenew October 2022 Inspiration Challenge.

I enjoyed creating this card using the Altenew Inspiration Photo.  

I first die-cut gold cardstock using the Altenew Scallops Cover Die. My idea was to create a garden wired fence background and the scallop die-cut background gives it an elegant and beautiful texture.

I then stamped the Altenew Build-A-Flower Laelia Leaf Stamp onto white cardstock and die-cut it using the Altenew Build-A-Flower Laelia Leaf Die. I adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots.

Following on from this I stamped the Altenew Majestic Bloom Flower onto blending cardstock and coloured it with Copic Sketch Markers. I added it onto the card front using 3D foam dots.

I then foiled and die-cut white cardstock with a Hotfoil Stamp, Gold Heat Activated Foil and Foil Machine.

Following on from this I adhered the foiled sentiment onto the card front using 3D foam dots and added gemstones to finish.

Material list:

• Altenew Majestic Bloom Add-On Layering Stamp Set
• Altenew Scallops Cover Die
• Altenew Build-A-Flower Laelia Stamp and Die Set
