Embossed Heart Card | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney  #couturecreationsaus

Hi Everyone Kerrie here with a tutorial for Couture Creations Blog


For this card I have not only die cut with the heart nesting die I have embossed it see below


to create the decorative heart I first diecut a piece of cardstock using Crystal Aroma die from the Background Savvy collection (one of my favourite Couture Creations Collections) and of course I have used Quick Release Die Paper to help my die cut pop out of the die


next place the die cut on the Heart Nesting Die


and die cut a heart


you can keep the negative piece to use in a future project


next to emboss the heart die your will change your diecutting machine sandwich to emboss
and layer die, patterned paper with the patterned side up, an embossing mat and then top acrylic plate
run through your machine


and wallah you have embossed your die instead of cutting


I then cut around the embossed heart and layered the diecut heart onto it.
Create an embossed pennant, distress and ink the edges of all paper pieces.
Pop it all together adding  snippet of the Evergreen diecut, a flower, a ribbon bow, muslin, tiny pearls and finish off with a smidge of Crystalina Glitter Glue

Craft & Quilt Fair Recap | New Zealand

#kerriegurney #craftandquiltfair

Hi Everyone sorry to take so long to share some highlights from New Zealand




Firstly I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Expertise Events for choosing me as their Guest Artist for New Zealand I am so very honored and so thankful for the amazing opportunity.
I loved every minute of both shows and loved meeting everyone and sharing my love of papercrafting with all who attended.

I had my first time flying Emirates and I have to say I can't wait to fly with them again, next time on a longer flight I hope. I think my trip was made even more enjoyable because I had the whole back row  to myself


I almost got upstairs


after arriving at Auckland International Airport

First stop was
Hamilton



everyday on my way to and from the show I walked across the bridge and the Waikato River
My stand all set up 



 I experienced my first Cronut from the farmers market on Sunday morning


after the show i had half a day to explore Hamilton and came across this statue of Riff Raff from the  Rocky Horror Picture Show



and after visiting the museum I wondered down to the river for one last look



and then onto Christchurch


check this spectacular view from the air of the South Island


before the show started my friend Melissa and I went sightseeing up to visit the seals at Kiakora





all set up


this time in the Airforce Museum what a fabulous venue
 this wall of poppies is created from knitted. crocheted and quilted poppies ...so many hours of love and work in this wall
the crowds lined up waiting for the show to open




the view of the Cathedral from our hotel window as you can see it remain in ruins as does alot of Christchurch ...they say it will be another 4 years before Christchurch is rebuilt.
the Re-Start Mall in Christchurch ..such a fabulous idea to get Christchurch trading again ...best meals and coffee here at the Hummingbird Coffee

After the show Melissa and I headed to Lake Tekapo just stunning 


and a quick trip up to Roundhill Ski Field for some snow fun


i leave you with the best Lemon Meringue from the Fairlie Bakehouse

I have loads more photos on  Instagram


see you next in Adelaide for my last show at Guest Artist for the Craft & Quilt Fair
