'Spring Vibes' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some spring inspiration with you.

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 'Ironworks Gate'

'Photo Adornment Flourish Set 4'

'BeeYoutiful Set' 

 

 

For this layout I have used the 'Ironworks Gate',

which perfectly suited the brick 

archway element from my papers.

I have used a silver wax to finish it 

and to give it a metallic look.  

 

 

I have also used some of the honeycomb pieces
 and a bee from the 'BeeYoutiful Set',

which I have left raw for that natural spring vibes.  

 

 

To finish, I have used one of the 'Photo Adornment Flourish Set 4',

also left raw and adhered near the fence on my page.  

 

 

I really love the fresh spring feel to this layout, 

it is suiting the weather in sunny Qld at the moment. 
I hope that you like what I have created.

 

Until next time!

 

Lisa

 

"Father & Daughter" Mixed Media Heart Canvas with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty Chipboard blog. 
For this post I made a mixed media Heart Canvas with a picture of Abbey and Jeroen during Abbey's school pictures two years back. I really love this picture because that tender kiss she gives her daddy makes my heart melt. Enjoy my post.....

Father & Daughter:

Wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Frame Handdrawn Heart
Father & Daughter Moment
Foliage Set 13
Squiggly Heart Cluster

It's a inside out heart canvas I used here with a heart shape piece af paper from a template. Around the edges of that shape I used very thick jute cord to give it a little texture. The handdrawn heart frame is treated with rust paste and purple wax as I did with the heart cluster.

The foliage set 13 is treated & father & daughter moment are treated with some white acrylic paint before I used my alcohol/aqua on them. I cut off the word moment to use it in another crafty piece. This time no gesso haha in the end I added some white matte wax on both 

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

BeeYOUtiful by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for September. 
 I have created a layout for my second share.

"BeeYOUtiful"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*BeeYoutiful Set

*6 x 6 Circle Frame Set

*12 x 12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

I have used the gorgeous 49 & Market 'Botanical Buzz' Collection to create the base for my layout.  

I coloured all the chippie pieces from the BeeYoutiful Set with Golden Glow Opal Polish.  Once dry I randomly dabbed onto some gesso onto the BeeYOUtiful title.  I coloured the assorted circles and the Weathered Clock chippie with Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine.

I added a some distressed paper under my photo and then cut the Weathered Clock chippie in half and added a half under the top and bottom of the distressed paper.  I added lots of paper blooms around my photo and then tucked in the Honeycomb & Bee chippies amongst the flowers.  I added the assorted Circle chippies around the flowers and finished of my page by adding the BeeYOUtiful chippie title along the bottom left of my photo.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Layout. 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Happiness is... Making Memories with Friends by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone, so glad you stopped by. 

There are certain people in your life that you would do anything for and anything with. This photo reminds me of a couple of friends I had when I was going through high school. We were inseparable. We did everything together. But we grew up. We got married and had kids, or went to college, had careers or just moved away from each other. Life took hold and over the years we eventually lost touch. 

I don't have any good photos of us together, we didn't have cell phones back then. The only photos I have are old instamatic ones that are long faded over time. Even though this photo is not of us, it brought back memories of good times.

Happiness is... Making Memories with Friends

2Crafty Chippies used:

Tangled Lamp Post

Mini Flourish Bits

Beaded Hanging Heart Set

Friends are the Sunshine of Life

live everyday with intention

 

As always, a good coating of Gesso was applied to all the chipboard before altering.

I love this lamp post. I have been to Paris, and they are everywhere. You can even see them on the bridge here. So, it seemed fitting to add one of the Tangled Lamp Posts to this layout. I painted the post with a mix of Pewter and Naples Yellow Red Acrylic Paint. The swirls were pained with a blend of Pewter and Natural Gray and the little buds painted with Sheepskin Chalk Paint.

I added in one of the Mini Flourish Bits next to the lamp post to extend the swirls into it. I painted it with the same mix as the swirls on the lamp post.

I added another piece from the Mini Flourish Bits here at the upper right of the photo under the flowers to bring balance and just add more swirly goodness.

I am notorious for cutting up chipboard! If I can't find the title that I'm imagining, I will cut up other titles and make it. I did that here. I used the word 'with' from the title living everyday with intention, and 'Friends' from Friends are the Sunshine of Life. One of the reasons I cut them up is that some of them are too big for the space I've left for the title. That is one of the great things about 2Crafty titles, you can customize them to fit your needs.

 I painted 'with' using Maple Yellow Red Acrylic Paint, and 'Friends' with Pewter and Natural Gray Acrylic Paint. This was to play off the color of the word strips up top.

I also cut 2 hearts from the Beaded Hanging Heart Set and placed them below the title. These were painted the same as the title above it.

I hope you like this and that it has inspired you. I'll be back in a few weeks with more from 2Crafty. Until then, keep scrapping!

“Limited Edition”By Di Garling

Hello there, Di Garling here with you today

with another layout to share.

I started off my layout with lots of layers and I wanted

to use lots of different textures & I always think that

using chipboard is a great way of adding to this.

2Crafty Chipboard Used….

“Limited Edition” - title

6” Parisian Border

“Fine Heart Border”

“Circle Heart Frames”

“Leafy Scrub Set #2”

All the chipboard pieces I have used on this layout were firstly 

base coated with some white gesso, followed by two coats of 

white acrylic paint so that the pieces were a crisp white. I then

finished off with a light sponging on around the edges with some 

brown Distress Ink to give a slightly aged feel to the pieces.

I have used one of the “Parisian Borders” underneath the photos to help

draw the eye in to the photo. I have also placed a pair of the “Circle Heart Frames”

to frame the photos & I also added one of the matching "Fine Heart Borders" too.
These are so lovely & fine & are perfect for this application.

I then used two pieces of the “Leafy Shrub Set #2” in amongst

the flowers to finish off my clustering. They are the icing on the cake.

Well that’s all I have for you today. 

I do hope it has helped to inspire you.

Until next time.

Enjoy The Journey - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Back today to share a layout I created of our oldest sons purchase of a 1977 Corvette.

2Crafty Products used:

Mini Chunky bits
Grungy Splatter Bits
Harlequin clumps
Brick Panel
Frame Chained Circle
Enjoy The Journey
Mini Numbers Panel
Steampunk Chain Clock Cluster

I always begin by prepping my chipboard with gesso - either clear or white

I then begin spraying different shades of grey and bit of black mists to create the effect I wanted.

I inked the pieces with black ink on the outside so when I layered all the pieces there was
still definition of each piece.

I had added some red tickets from my stash to coordinate with the cars red interior and wanted
the title to stand out a bit so I inked it with lumberjack plaid ink and embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by
