Swirlydoos Saturday Tutorial - Feb 25th Cards

Hi everyone.

For today's Swirlydoos Saturday tutorial I have 2 cards for you. I have started a monthly card challenge on the Swirlydoos forum, these are the cards I made for the March challenge. The theme of the challenge in March is Die Cutting. I have never been a huge user of dies, so I was great to dust off my die cutting machine.

Please enjoy the video tutorial on how I made these cards.

My apologies that there is no voice over for this video, unfortunately I have a bad cold and no voice.

HERE is my video:

Thanks for watching :)

Swirlydoos January Kit Reveal

Today is my day to reveal all the goodies I made with the Swirlydoos January Kit. 

This kit is amazing, and filled with beautiful blue papers from Lemoncrafts Gossamer Blue Collection.

I received the Main kit along with the Flower add on and Embellishment add on kits this month. These projects were made using these kits.

Cute

First up is the layout I made using the January sketch as inspiration. 

Here is the sketch,

My close ups

I used papers from the Lemoncraft Gossamer Blue collection along with the copper shimmer paper.

Love

My next layout was made with the Heidi Swap Invisibles paper from the Kit

I coloured the paper with teal and purple mists in order to bring out the beautiful invisible pattern underneath. 

I used the 49th & Market flower vine from the main kit to form a semi circle and placed this onto my photo then filled in the gaps with extra flowers.

Joy

This layout was mage with the American Crafts woodgrain textured cardstock as the background. I coloured the paper with some mist splatters. 

I used pale purple liquid pearls to colour the Creative Embellishments chipboard butterflies.

Cards

I used the scraps from the kit to make these cards.

I am currently running a card making challenge on the forum. Head HERE for the details. 

Delicate

Finally today I'm adding this layout which I had up on the Swirlydoos blog a couple of weeks ago which I made for my Saturday tutorial.

I've only just been able to load my video to You Tube due to computer troubles - so please enjoy this belated video.

Us

Hey there.

Today I have a layout to share that I made for the Swirlydoos Round Robin challenge. The theme of the  challenge this month is love. The two things I love most in this life are my two babies.

I have also combined this layout with the Prima February challenge which has gorgeous pink colours.

I used a mix of the Prima Tales of You and Me collection and the Salvage District Collection

I also used loads of yummy Prima flowers, as well as resin frames filled with the memory hardware pearls.

I added cheesecloth under my layers for some shabbiness then a few Prima Say it in Crystals for added bling

Here is the Prima Challenge

Thanks for visiting
