Creative Expressions, Couture Creations 3-in-1 Blog Hop.

Welcome to the Creative Expressions Couture Creations Blog Hop!

In order to get here, you must have come via the Creative Expressions News Blog.

If you arrived here from the Creative Expressions News page then you are in the right place.

Here is one of the cards I created with the 3 in 1 Couture Creations Collection I started by stamping out my cup cake stands x 3 and embossed them with cosmic shimmer coloured embossing powder, it gave a subtle but sugar sweet look ( well I think)

Next I Cut them out with the matching die.

I then mounted them onto white card with foam and matted that with black card stock.

I then set these aside to create the base.

I took the white card and ran it through my embossing machine with the matching folder , because I wanted to do a slightly larger card I had to move the embossing folder along and run it through my machine again and although it doesn't completely match as you can see you can hardly pick up the slight miss. I inked around the edges to show off the design with Distress Inks.

Dry the Ink thoroughly and wrap around the ribbon you want to use, I used some lilac ad some bakers twine along the bottom and then I matted the whole piece onto black card.

Next I began to stamp and emboss all the elements I thought I would like to use on the card, I knew I wanted to use the bunting along the top so I stamped out several and used the matching dies to cut them all out.

I stamped out my sentiment which I decided to keep in just black on white and then mounted onto a black mat.

I also stamped and die cut my cupcakes and bows , so you can see all the elements I need in this picture and of course I have my base ready so now I just needed to put it all together. I laid out all my items several ways onto my card base before sticking it down to make sure I was happy with it.

So you can see I added another piece of twine to the top of the card and wrapped around my bunting pieces but also added a tiny foam pad to the back which raised it up off the base a little. I added all the other elements and matted the whole thing again onto white and then black card which gave me a finished card of 7x8inches.
