Merry & Bright – a colourful Christmas

Are you in the mood for something a little different this Festive Season? Well then you are in the right place. This season Couture Creations brings you everything that is hip and happening, bright and beautiful, classic and elegant – everything you need for everyone this Festive Season.

I love how they have incorporated beautiful designs into these economical paper pads that can be used for layouts, cards and tags. You literally get so much you can use all in one place – all you have to do is select a colour scheme and start creating.

Merry Christmas Reindeer Card

For this card I chose the Jolly Christmas Paper Pad – I love this colour scheme – it basically incorporates traditional but bright and modern. I used the paper pad to create my background and then added a die-cut element using my Cricut machine as a focal point.

I used American Crafts textured cardstock to die-cut my reindeer and loved how clean the cuts were on this cardstock. I used the same colours incorporated in the papers to create it and love the bright and funky look it created in the end.

Merry Christmas

To add to the versatility of the paper pads, Couture Creations have a huge selection of new embossing folders available. The designs are just as fresh and hip as the paper designs. I love this particular design – it reminds me of the beautiful signs and blackboard images available these days.

I embossed the image twice on white cardstock and then inked the raised areas using two different dye ink pads. I then cut one design apart and layered it on top of the first embossed image for dimension. These embossing folders are just so versatile, and I can’t wait to play with the rest of the designs more. They enable you to make something plain and simple, classic, elegant or funky – whatever the occasion you can create it!

Hope you love the versatile new paper pads as much as I do! To top it off, I combined both paper pads into a layout design – funky and vintage all in one!
