Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! It's time again to share more projects using the December Kit, All That Glitters. Even though Christmas has passed, those Holiday photos still need to be scrapped! So, I have one Christmas layout to share and a winter theme.
You gotta love all the pretty pinks that came in the kit. It was fun scrapping Christmas themes with the non traditional colors of red and green. I used the Snowflake paste to add some texture to the background. I didn't want the paste white because the background paper is light. So I added quite a bit of pigment powder to make it pink. Both the Snowflake Paste and Pigment Powder are from the Medium add-on.
Here is my snowy winter layout! I first used the snowflake paste with a snowflake stencil. When that was dry I used modeling paste to add another texture using a Tim Holtz mask. Once I had my page all done I went back with some watered down gesso and did some splattering. Using Heavy Gesso I painted a thick coat on the flowers, butterflies and spray for that snowy look! That's always fun!

Hi, everyone! Even though the holidays are over, I've made an Advent calendar using the "All That Glitters" kit, along with some items from my stash and past kits. I love, love, love, the blues and pinks!
The Advent calendar is from Kaisercraft. It's so funny- I thought that this Advent house was super awesome because it has all that extra space at the top, and I ASSUMED it was going to open up, which is ideal for giving the kids larger candies some days! Boy was I WRONG- The top of the house didn't open at all! That just would not do, so I modified it! I sanded the parts that would have normally been glued together on one side, and went to Lowe's and grabbed a small pair of hinges to create an opening at the top.
And this is what the inside of that opening looks like. I added some poinsettias from past Swirlydoos Christmas kits, as well some cotton fluff for the floor. Now, I have a space for larger Advent gifts, and no one is happier about that than my littles!
Here's what the other side that doesn't open looks like:
I added some of the foil ornaments from the specialty paper, and some pearl strands. I kept the design of the boxes pretty basic, using Tim Holtz metal number circles. The frame is from the dollar bin at Michaels- I used two different embossing powders on it to achieve that effect. The image inside the frame is from the kit papers.
Here are the view from the sides:
The side without any boxes had a Memory Box window die, and a Tim Holtz metal wreath from a past kit.

Happy Saturday! For those celebrating Christmas, I hope your holiday was wonderful, and that you can sneak in some tutorial viewing today!
We recently received oil pastels in a project kit, we've had some people ask about what the difference between pastels and gelatos are. So, I decided to do a comparison video of the two media so you can see the differences. Check out the video here:

Hi everyone - Merry Christmas Eve!!!
Today I have more projects I made with the December 2015 Kit - All That Glitters.
Today I have more projects I made with the December 2015 Kit - All That Glitters.
To make this layout I started by applying texture paste though a circle stencil from my stash, then I added colour with the Pearl Ex mica powder in Rose Gold from the mediums add on kit along with some pink sprays from my stash. I coloured the Blue Fern Winter Dangles Chipboard (from the embellishment add on kit) with Inka Gold in Gold, I also mixed some water with the Inka Gold to flick on my background. I used the Kaisercraft Sliver Bells Papers in Merry Xmas, Frosty and the coordinating sticker sheet. To embellish I used Petaloo Mini Burlap flowers in Antique Red and Vintage Velvet Mini flowers in White from the flower add on kit, plus a few flowers from my stash. From the embellishment add on kit I used the Pink Organza ribbon and the Kaisercraft pearls in Rose, the Darice Pink doily tape is from the main kit. From my stash I used white wire trim, gold leaves, chipboard title, cheesecloth and extra flowers.
With what was leftover from my kit I put together these cards. I'm starting to make more cards lately, it is a great way to use up the bits and pieces that are left over after making layouts. Plus I don't used any mediums on my cards so they are quick and easy.
For this first card I used the Prima Victorian Christmas white leaves from the Flower add on kit, the Prima Grey Trim, Berries from the Sliver Berry Spray, Rhinestone trim. Plus I used some grey flowers from my stash.
On the second card I used Petaloo flowers from the flower add on kit, Bo Bunny lasercut snowflake chipboard, Berries from the silver berry spray, Grey lace, Rhinestone trim and sliver rhinestones.

I hope you are enjoying your December Swirlydoos kits by now. "All that Glitters" is a definitely a sparkly, glittery kit. Now, I've had more time to create so I'd like to share more layouts made with this beautiful kit.
For this first one, I tackled the round die cut wreath. I say tackled because usually the 12x12 die cuts are a challenge for me. I don't like to just mount them on cardstock whole and scrap over the top of them. I'd rather alter or modify them in some way.
Here, I had the wreath hanging off the lower corner of the cardstock. I added some subtle inking with the Prima reverse brick stencil. The ornaments were fussy cut and added around the picture along with some of the silver leaves and the pink leaves from last month's kit. Watered down gesso was splattered all over to mimic snow. The photo was converted to gray scale so the colors in it would not clash with the pink and blues of the papers.

Here's a close up of that gorgeous ribbon with the bling.
I added a wooden word over the top of the ribbon using gloss medium.
Here's my second one featuring a picture of my son way back in December of 1994. I distressed along the middle of the white lace paper and added some blue underneath. A loooooong time ago we received some angel wings in a Swirlydoos kit. I finally found a layout for them! I cut the feather wings in half and used them under the picture. The flowers are from the Swirlydoos store and the velvet leaves are from the current kit.
Here's a few close-ups of those amazing angel wings.
I added a few small doilies from a past kit to add some layers under the picture.
Another wooden word title added on top of the flowers.
Here's my last layout for the second reveal. A lot of fussy cutting here. This may be my last layout with this kit. If so, stay tuned for the "Scrap your Scraps" tutorial!
