I am sharing my French Country Card today, I love the country vintage feel of the papers and they work perfectly with the Fubu Embossing Folder.

I started by first running my Red Kraft Distress Core'dinations Cardstock through my embossing folder and then sanding it lightly with my Couture Creations Sanding Block. 

 I die cut one of the Ivy Doilies from the Ivy Set from a piece of the green pattern paper...

and place part of the Ivy Doily on top of a piece of the black pattern paper that I had adhere to the top of my Red Fubu Embossed paper using Couture Creations Two Sided Tape...

I also added a few of the pattern die cut pieces to the front of my card using Couture Creations Foam Mounting Tape. I hope you try adding die cut layers to your projects.

My gorgeous daughter Tayla  is definitely one in a million!
She is loving, responsible, thoughtful and a hard worker. Not to mention beautiful (but I could be bias). I love this picture of her my brother took while holidaying in Kenya and hoped to do it justice with a layout that captures her spirit.

Hi Couture Creations fans! Dana here today sharing a Christmas card. I used the NEW Wild Holly Embossing Folder, from the Wrapped In Joy Collection, on the patterned paper base of my card. I put together a layered wreath with cuts from my favorite Dazzling Doily Die and two dies from the Sophia Intricutz Die Collection.

Follow these steps to assemble this card:

Step One: Select two different colored pattered papers. Trim the papers to fit inside each other on a card base. Emboss the top pattered paper with the Wild Holly Embossing Folder. Adhere the patterned paper layers to the card base with Double-Sided Tape.

Step Two: Select three shades of green cardstock. Cut one piece of green cardstock with the Dazzling Doily Die. Cut three pieces of another shade of green cardstock with the Connexion Intricutz Die. Cut the last piece of green cardstock with the Assouline Intricutz Die. Attach the die-cut layers to the front of the card with Foam Mounting Tape with the Dazzling Doily die-cut on the bottom, the Connexion die-cuts in the middle and the Assouline die-cut on the top.

Step Three: Highlight the flower centers of the Assouline die-cut with Red Lust Self-Adhesive Gemstones.

Step Four: Add a sentiment to the center of the wreath.

Step Five: Finish the card by adding a gold bow to the bottom of the wreath.


Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Good morning all!

It's my turn again on the blog today.   

I love the elegant look of a simple white embossed card combined with one other colour.  They are so quick to pull together and they look really stylish though simple.

Today I have two cards to share with you.  I used white and purple as my colour combo. 


I cut a piece of white cardstock 8.5cm x 12.5cm.  I then just ran the bottom half through my cuttlebug using the Tied Together embossing folder (an old folder but a good one!)


Mat this piece onto some purple card and then adhere it to your card front.  I have then cut a piece of purple cardstock and stuck it across the centre of the card.

Die cut from a piece of white cardstock a doily using the  Ivy Doily Set from the Fantasia Collection .

The sentiment is one from the new 3 in 1 Dreamboat collections - Ornate Frame.


I have then stamped some butterflies from the 3 in one Dreamboat Collection.  Seriously - these 3 in one are FANTASTIC!  You can use everything in the collection or just use some like I have on this card.  I have then cut out my butterfly and curled the wings.  I then added a blossom and some silver gemstones to finish my card.

Here is my second card


Another simple yet elegant card.

For this card I have used one of our new Christmas embossing folders Wild Holly from Wrapped in Joy Collection  Just another reason I love Couture Creations -  it doesn't matter what you use it just all seems to go!  Love that I can use this folder for everything including Christmas.

Instead of embossing the whole piece of white cardstock, I have embossed just the top and bottom, leaving a blank strip to stamp my butterflies.


Once you have embossed the bottom, turn your paper and embossed the top. 


I now have a blank strip for stamping.  I used the butterfly stamps from the 3 in one Dreamboat Collection - Ornate Frame.  I then added some silver gemstones to the middle of my butterflies.

I have stamped my sentiment again from the Ornate Frame 3 in one collection using the Victorian Square Nesting Dies and cutting off the top to make a tab.
