Hi Bridget here with with scrapbook layout to make in just an hour,  thanks to the amazing range from Couture Creations products.

The double layout is super quick and easy.
Cream 12’x12’ Cardstock x2
6’x12’ Patterned paper x2
3”x4” rectangle squares x8

Assemble layout as per the picture above. Add your embellishments and rubons, including colouring your title with whichever colour ink or paint you choose.

Using some of the beautiful new dies from Couture creations I cut 1 Mirror Mirror Ornamental Lace die (CO723242) 


and one Birdcage from the Glamour Days Collection (CO723708) to add to one of the rectangles.


I then cut the 2nd and 3rd size of the C0723221 Blossom Die and using scissors cut a spiral in it . I then rolled it up to make my own paper roses. Glue them onto your layout and in one hour you are all done.

Easy Framed Card by Bridget Louw


Easy Framed Card by Bridget Louw

Hi Bridget here again with with another super quick and easy card to make thanks to the amazing range from Couture Creations products.

 

The card measures 7” high x 5” wide.

The white base layer measures 10” x 7” scored at 5”.
The darker pink measures 4 7/8” x 6 7/8”
The lighter pink measures 4 ¾” x 6 ¾”


Using the 2nd and 3rd largest square dies from C0723042 Nesting Dies: Square cut the smaller square from the darker pink, line up the lighter pink over the square cutout and die cut the larger square. 


You should now have a square window cut out with some of the darker pink showing through like a frame.


Using the 5×7 Thinking Of You Embossing Folder (CO723296), emboss the light pink layer.

Cut some marker blending card with the largest die in the set C0723042 Nesting Dies: Square.
Stamp the image you have chosen on the shape and colour as desired. 


The next step is to adhere the coloured image behind the square gap in the dark pink layer and on top of that stick down the embossed light pink layer.. 


I stamped a sweet sentiment onto a piece of card I had cut using C0723049 Nesting Dies: Victorian Rectangles and glued the sentiment on the inside of the card, using C0721963 Foam mounting Tape.
 

Super quick, super easy.
