Swirlydoos April Kit Projects with Tutorial

Hi, It's my day to reveal all my projects made with the April Swirlydoos Kit - Purple Haze.

Dream Catcher 

First up is a dream catcher I made with the embroidery hoop which came in the April main kit.
I made a video tutorial on how I made this

Here is my video:

Here is the sketch which goes with this kit

For my background I used some yellow embossing powder with a stamp and then modelling paste through a stencil.

I cut the Blue Fern Studios Lane Street Sign chipboard into three pieces, then I coloured all my chipboard with Blue Fern Studios Embossing powder in  Buttercup, Petal, Cotton Candy and Sage

Next I added my flowers, lace, resin piece  and liquid pearls

Joy

I loved the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Baroque Frames so much that I wanted to make them the feature of my layout.

I used the Prima bubble stencil with grey ink on my background. Then I used the Prima Platinum crackle paste through a stencil followed by some mists for extra colour.

I added white crackle paste to the Kaisercraft butterflies then coloured them with a brown mist.

I coloured all my chipboard with embossing powder

Purple Box

I made this from an old watch box for Peggy's Spring cleaning challenge on the forum this month.

I cut the Blue Fern Studios Courtship Lane Paper West Plaza to fit on all the sides.

I inked the edges and the middle section for the box with Distress Ink in Dusty Concord

I place the adhesive pearls trim which cam in the kit around the sides of my box, I had one piece left so I cut it in half at placed it on the top of the box

I decorated the top of the box the the Blue fern flowers, purple leaf trim and Kaisercraft wood butterflies which all came in the April Kit

A Layout Just for Fun

Hi, I finally brought myself a die cutting machine!! I was well overdue to buy one and the only reason I held out was because I knew it would become my new obsession and cost me a fortune :D

I brought the Couture Creations GoCut and Emboss machine and I am now in love!!!!

I also used Couture Creations Dies and Hearts Ease paper to make this layout

Couture Creations Hearts Ease Papers: Pansy Bouquet  Pansy Gingham, Orchard Bouquet & Small Pansies

Couture Creations Dies Scrolled Tomentosa & Lacraftina Small Fern

Inspiration

Today I have  layout to share which I have made using a different style.

This month on the Swirlydoos Form Cindy has challenged us to step out of our comfort zone and try something different.

So I made this layout without all my favourite things. I have no sprays, no lace, no doilies, no resin and only 7 small flowers!!! But I love the simplicity to this and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

I have used Prima Timeless Memories papers, plus Prima flowers, leaves, and metal embellishments. The title is from Blue Fern Studios

On the background I used two stencils, one with distress ink and one with Gelatos

The image is from Pinterest

Inspiration for this layout came from the April Prima Build a Page Sketch

And the More Than Words April Challenge

For the word escape I didn't go with a holiday pic instead the whole layout is my escape.

For me, escape it going into my craft space, closing the door and relaxing with hours of scrapbooking :)

For Mood Photo, the mood I have for this photo is Inspired. My inspriation comes from Pinterest alot of the time and I love the vintage images on there.

Thanks for stopping by
