Halloween at Disneyland | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney 

Hi Everyone it's Kerrie here and
it's my turn on the Couture Creations Blog again.
For my last blog post for October of course I had to create a layout using one of my favourite photos from my big 50th Birthday trip to LA to visit Disneyland for Halloween last year


This photo was taken Halloween night at Disneyland and as you can see my baby girl & I are looking pretty fabulous as Maleficent and Aurora.

Here is a my tutorial on how to recreate this is a super quick and easy layout.


Start off diecutting 3 x Fans of Fantasia from the  Background Savvy Die collection from white cardstock and using sand texture paste adhere the diecuts to the background cardstock


then spray heavily with orange metallic mist and then hold the page up allowing some of the spray to drip down. Dry off using heat tool


Grab a selection of Couture Creations paper flowers and a piece of Muslin


using a craft mat spray the flowers and muslin with the same orange metallic spray and then with a light spray of gold metallic spray. Use Heat Tool to dry off

TIP; grab another piece of muslin or some ribbon or flowers and rub around on the craft mat to soak up all the excess spray this saves wasting your sprays and gives you flowers and ribbon coloured ready for another project another day.


Next I coloured some Crystal Gemstones with a Black Sharpie to use on my layout
Then you are ready to layer everything onto your layout, here are a couple of closeups.


don't you just love all that sandy texture

Believe Christmas Card | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus #christmas

Hi all Kerrie here

Did you know there are only 71 days until Christmas?
scary how quickly it is coming around isn't it?
Well I am here to inspire you to kick start your Christmas Card creating with this
 quick Christmas card I created for Couture Creations using their
Christmas Eve Dies and Christmas Emporium paper collection




Start off diecutting 4 of the Mistletoe die from green patterned paper and 1 of the Believe only section of the Believe Flourish die from light patterned paper


next using the two largest circle nesting dies cut a circle frame


TIP; I use a magnetic cutting platform so my dies don't move but if you don't have a magnetic cutting platform you can tape the dies in place using washi tape


use  mini foam dots to raise up the circle frame


pop it onto the card base and start layering on the mistletoe diecuts 
TIP; use the Couture Creations Turbo Glue Pen which is perfect for adhering all your diecuts...it dries clear so you don't have to worry if any bits squish out the sides like it has on the right


finish off by adding the Believe onto a strip of patterned paper, add some string for texture and add some 2mm Gemstones for a touch of sparkle



you can see I have also raised the sentiment strip up by using a double layer of foam tape to give extra height
