Beach Girl and Couture Creations

Hi Ladies, nice to see you back in 2014 Couture Creations has a lot of new Dies and Folders coming out this year, and today I'm having a play with the some of new Harmany Range of Embossing Folders and Secret Treasure Dies

So here we go

Here is the Sketch that I created for this project

Emboss one of the background cardstock using CC Harmony zig Zag Embossing Folder, and roughly sand with the CC Sanding Block, ink all edges with CC Sponge Dauber

The  2nd background cardstock emboss with CC Harmony Clay Brick Embossing Folder, now using a brayer, roll over the embossed surface with glue and sprinkle glitter over it, then shake off excess

Take both strips of cardstock and Emboss with CC Harmony Fine Dots  Embossing Folder, run a hard surface ink over it, to enhance embossing, fancy it up a little with and edge punch

Using the CC Secret Treasures Reto Flower, cut out 12 or so of the middle size flower, brush the centre for each flower with ink, roll forward one side of each petal, and then bend each petal up to the centre, place a CC Gem Stones in the middle,

Cut out several CC ST Bird Song  Dies, to scatter on you page.

Now to finish off, add a flourish or two, some bling, a title, arange all your elements in your style and your done. Have fun

Couture Creations: CHA 2014 Recap

Couture Creations: CHA 2014 Recap:

Hi now that we are all back safely we thought it would be good to share some more photos from our time at CHA and our antics after CHA finished.

Firstly we would like to thank everyone who visited us at CHA and for all of you who followed us on Facebook. We are overwhelmed by the positive response we received both at CHA, Facebook, here on our Blog and via email.
Our fabulous booth was designed by our very own and very talented Sharon Bernadi, Sharon put so much time into making sure our booth not only showed out products beautifully but it also was so fresh and inviting to all. Sharon also is the creative brain who created the doily die chandelier, which I am sure you will all agree looked stunning. So we again thank Sharon for her hard work and for her vision.
We would also like to Thank our very talented Design Team ,
Adriana Bolzon, Bridget Louw, Cathi O'Neill, Dana Tatar, Jo Piccirilli, Lesa Bird, Pam Bray, Patti Hamil, Sue Smyth, Tracey Cooley and Kerrie Gurney for all their gorgeous samples they created for our booth, they went above and beyond as they didn't have a lot time to create their samples with our pre production samples arriving later than we expected. We have the most awesome Design Team and we are so blessed to have them all. Please visit their personal blogs and see just how talented they all are.

Thank You also to PaulinePierantozzi and Cathi O'Neill who gave there time and demoed for us on the booth. We appreciate you both giving us your time and sharing your creative talent with visitors to our booth.

Lastly a huge Thank You to Tracey, Lesa, Sue and Kerrie for giving their time and coming along to help out over the 4 days of the show and also setting up and pulling down our stand, having you all come along to CHA helped us out enormously. Cathi and Vicki  (CSW Distributors) we also thank you both for helping us with pull down.

Each and everyone of you helped make out first time exhibiting at CHA such a positive experience.

and after we left the show for the day

 

 we hit the streets of Anaheim

 

We look forward to a successful year and to CHA 2015
