"enjoy EVERY moment" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present you my second inspiration of this month of April.

A vintage layout inspired by a photo of a "Monster Truck" car show.

I selected chipboard elements such as gears to represent the robust mechanics of the vehicles and this chipboard that mimics a metal chain to add an industrial touch to the composition. The color palette includes earthy and metallic tones to enhance the retro vibe and recall the bold spirit of monster trucks.

"enjoy EVERY moment"

The chipboard used:

enjoy-every-moment-title

aged-film-strip-set

asst-chain-lengths

steampunk-gears-medium

I don't use gesso.

I apply "antique linen" Distress ink on the "chain-lenghts" chipboard by rubbing it randomly. 

My goal is to achieve an aged effect, reminiscent of an antique chain.

I proceed in the same way for the "aged-film-strip-set" chipboard by applying an additional color "spawn burlap". Then I add printed paper to bring contrast and fantasy to the whole.

Below my photo, I add some steampunk chipboard panels decorated in various colors. Next, I move on to adding the title "enjoy EVERY Moment." I start by applying Distress "faded jeans" ink to the letters of the title, creating a beautiful faded blue shade. To give the text more depth and shine, I then use embossing powder applied with a Distress embossing pen. I heat the powder with a heat gun until it melts, forming a vibrant raised pattern that catches the eye.

I hope this layout inspires you. I enjoyed creating it.

Happy creativity!

Marie

        

"#SELFIE 2025" layout by Rachael Funnell

 

Hello Everyone!

Rach back with you today sharing my most recent layout..

This layout of myself hence the title "SELFIE 2025" 

I have used some fabulous 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces, 

two of which are from the newly released 

along with Unmistakable Creations - Flora View papers....

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Half floral page border

Mini hashtag word set 2

2025

Let's start with this Gooooorgeous Half floral page border, 

part of the most recent 2 Crafty Chipboard newly released, isn't just DIVINE...

I have simply inked this a lovely Orange using the Tim Holtz - Spiced Marmalade

I have to say I have kept this layout fairly minimal as I wanted that Half Floral make 

a statement on my page & I think it does just THAT....

Lastly for my title using the #SELFIE from the Mini hashtag word set 2

Again using Tim Holtz inks, inking the #SELFIE with this delightful purple using Dusty Concord

and of course adding the year 2025 (one of my ALL TIME 2 Crafty Chipbaord FAV'S ) 

Inking this using peacock feathers, a lovely teal color....

That's it from me this month,

I hope I have inspired you in someway!

 Thanks for stopping by...

Happiness is this Moment with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty friends!

It’s Lisa here today to share a new layout I created for you.
This one features my beautiful daughter,
enjoying a quiet little treat –
it was such a sweet moment that I just had to scrap it.

 

 

2Crafty products used:

💜 Happiness is this Moment – Title
💜 Foliage Set 11
💜 Lacey Border Set 1
💜 Floral Cluster Set 1

 

For this layout, I’ve used a mix of soft florals and purples,
and of course, some of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard pieces! 

 

 

 

The 'Lacey Border' adds such a lovely,
delicate touch down the side of the page.
I’ve layered it in with patterned paper strips
and some florals to create lots of dimension.

 

I’ve heat embossed all of the chipboard pieces in white
to help them pop against the darker background,
highlighting all the beautiful detail in the chipboard.

 

 I’ve also added pieces from the 'Foliage Set 11' and 'Floral Cluster Set 1'
throughout the layout – tucked into my floral clusters.
These pieces are so versatile and perfect for adding those finishing touches.

 

And of course, the 'Happiness is this Moment' title
was the perfect choice for this photo –
a little reminder to savour the everyday moments 🥰

I really love how this layout came together – soft, pretty, and full of love!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
I’ll see you again soon with more chipboard goodness!

 12x12 Weathered Clock Face Frames
11" Celia Frame
One Love Title
Frame Celia's Flourish
Fine Fancy Butterfly Set
Crazy About You

All the chipboard pieces are altered with two layers of white gesso. Then I treated the two celia frames {those are my favorite frames from 2Crafty by far} with two layers wowzers white embossing powder, I also did that with the top part of the word "about" the bottom part I used my alcohol marker in a light denim blue color. I also used that for the word love.

The butterflies are also altered with my alcoholmarker in the color "straw yellow" then I layered them on some light yellow paper from the same collection I used here which is the NEW maja design collection called Spring Garden. On the centers of the butterflies I added some nuvo crystal drops, the clock face I just painted with two colors of acrylic paints in blue & yellow!

 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....

"Cute Kid"Mixed Medial Layout By Di Garling

Well hi there & hello, thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.

Today I have a layout to share with you & I have used these
photos of my middle granddaughter from when she 
was just three years old !!! Where do the years go?

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

"Cute Kids" - title

"Love You" Balloons

Frame - Handrawn Hearts
"Leafy Silhouettes"

 After firstly creating my mixed media background & adding some of my

favourite "go to" corrugated card, I then got started on the chipboard.

I have used one of the NEW release titles, "CUTE KIDS"

but I then proceeded to chop the "S" of so it would suit my photo.

That is the beauty of working with chipboard. It is just sooo easy

to customise it to suit your project !!

I have also used one of the NEW "Love You-Balloons"
on the right side of my page. How cute are they !!!

All of my chipboard on this layout were firstly given a basecoat 

of white paint, followed by a coat of metallic copper acrylic paint

to co ordinate with my layout.

In the photo above you can see I have tucked in some of the 
"Leafy Silhouettes" in & around my flower clusters.

The last piece of chipboard I have used in my layout

was this beautiful "Handrawn Heart Frame" which I have

tucked in behind my photos. It truly is a stunning chipboard piece

& it is soo beautifully fine too.

I hope you like my layout today & maybe feel a little
bit inspired by it. I was really happy with how it turned out.

Well thats all for today.
Until next time....

Life Is Good by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for April.
  I have created another layout. 

"Life is Good"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Hexagon Outline Frames Set

*Decorative Poles

*ATC Design Elements

*Mini Title Stick Set 1

 have used the gorgeous 49 & Market 'Krafty Garden' Collection to create the base for my layout.

I first coloured all chippie pieces with Dina Wakley Lemon Media Acrylic Paint.  Once all
the pieces were dry I randomly dabbed on Golden Glow Opal Polish to all the pieces.

I added lots of paper elements from the 49 & Market "Krafty Garden and Orche" Ephemera packs under my photo and then added the largest Hexagon Outline Frame chippie under my photo and then attached it to the background page.  I embellished my page with lots of paper blooms to the top and bottom of the photo.  I cut one of the Decorative Pole chippies in half and tucked a half in each side of the flowers.  I tucked the ATC Design Element Flourishes in amongst the flowers and added different sizes of the Hexagon Outline Frame chippies around my page.  I finished off my page with a chippie Title from the Mini Title Stick Set 1.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout.

 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
