Grandma's Attic Cards by Tania Ridgwell

Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for July.
  I have created a set cards for my second share.

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Hexagon Outline Frames Set

*Frame Doodled

*Card - Word Circle Set - Sentiments

*ATC Butterflies

*Mini Branches

*Foliage Set 18

I created each of my card bases using the gorgeous Mintay "Grandma's Attic" Paper Collection. 

I first gave all the chippie pieces a couple of coats of gesso.  I then used coloured the Frames, Butterflies and Sentiment chippie pieces with Golden Glow Opal Polish.  I left the Mini Branches and Foliage chippie pieces as is with just gesso on them.

To construct each of the cards I added either a Hexagon or Doodled Frame chippie to each.  I 

then embellished them with die cut flower elements from the Mintay Flora Books 8 & 9 and paper blooms. I tucked in either the Mini Branches or Foliage chippies amongst the blooms and finished each card with a chippie Sentiment from the Card - Word Circle Set.

See each card below.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Grandma's Attics Cards. 

 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Friends"Layout By Di Garling

 Hello there 2Crafty friends. Di Garling back with you again

with another layout & naturally I have used some great pieces

 of our favourite 2Crafty Chipboard.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

Tiny Film Strips Set

"Friends" loopy font title

Chevron Bits

Crazy Arrows

The "FRIENDS" title in this "loopy font" is so eye catching. ❤
I have added some little arrows above & below it.

All the chipboard pieces I used on this layout

were simply given a coat of black acrylic paint.

A pair if the "Tiny Film Strips" worked perfectly

 at both the top & bottom of my photos.

Well that’s all I have for you today.

I AM RELEASING THIS LAYOUT AS A KIT.

enjoy TODAY by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone! So glad you could drop by. 

Today I'm sharing a simple layout using one of my favorite colors. I love teal, especially with black. So classic. I really like this photo too. I have scrapped it before but I thought why not scrap it again with a different design?

 I've seen "Black & White plus One Color" challenges and layouts over the years. I haven't seen many lately though. Turns out that they are actually, in fact, challenging to do! I thought I would try it.

enjoy TODAY

Beautiful 2Crafty I used:

Lusius Swirl

Sharon's Butterflies

enjoy TODAY

As always, prime those chipboard pieces ladies! I like to use Gesso. 

I used 2 of the Sharon's Butterflies on this layout. I just painted them with Black Gesso, easy. Then I glued a paper butterfly on top. I this the black really makes them pop.

I did the same thing with this butterfly on the right. I like to try to achieve balance and symmetry when I create. I think it's easier on the eye as you look at the layout as a whole.

Ok, here come the focal point of the layout. The very dramatic Lusius Swirl. Isn't this just an incredible piece?  Really makes a statement. I cut it in half to be able to use it at the top and bottom of the layout. All I did to alter it was to paint it with Black Gesso.

I painted the title, enjoy TODAY, with White Acrylic Paint to really stand out against the Lusius Swirl at the bottom. I like it when the titles pop against the colors of the layout. I paint them white a lot so they can be easily seen.

Hope you like this and that it not only inspires you to re-use some of your favorite photos, but that you will try the "Black & White Plus One" color scheme.

Be back in a few weeks with more fabulous 2Crafty fabulousness!

'Dream Chaser' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!

It's Lisa here today to share some
 scrappy inspiration with you.

I have created this layout featuring my daughter on a recent trip to Japan. 

"DREAM CHASER"

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 

'ATC Georgian Frame'

'Foliage Set 15'

'Dainty Foliage Stems'

'Mini Flourish Bits'

 

 

For this layout, I used some of the gorgeous 
'Foliage Set 15' pieces.
 I have tucked two of the small ones 
under my large green flower.

 

 

I also used one of the larger ones under my yellow flower.
I left my chipboard raw for this layout,

I think it really goes with the tone of my papers. 

 

 

I also used one of the 'ATC Georgian Frames',

to which I have adhered a sentiment. 

 

I then tucked one of the 'Dainty Foliage Stems'

in between layers of my papers. 

 

 

To finish, I used one of the 'Mini Flourish Bits'

into the floral and foliage piece from my papers. 

I really like the wispy effect of this piece. 

 

 

I am very happy with how this layout turned out,

and I hope that you like it too and that it inspires you to get crafty today.

 

Until next time,

 

Lisa 

 

 

 

Life is awesome By Charmane Sharp

 

Sometimes the photograph may not be perfect but the moment is truly

a memorable one. Sitting on a small wall jutting out to sea while staying

on Milos Island the setting sun was captured while enjoying romantic

drinks together. I wanted a romantic feel with soft colours and I love

the end result of this layout especially the Mandala Frame.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Today Phrase set

6' Mandala No.5

Foliage set 10

I cut the inner decor from the Mandala to create my own

embellishment under the resin heart. I embossed with WoW Pastel

Pink but it was too bright so I sprinkled White over the top and then

heat set for the finished result. Life is awesome showed up by gesso

and the surrounding had Sweet Rose wax rubbed on it.

By cutting the Mandala up I created a unique frame to sit under

my photo. I blended a little WoW Sherbert Fizz with White for

a pale soft finish result. One I will Remember is better to see on

the top photo as the reflection blurred it a little here. It has the

same treatment as the other phrase.

For a little boldness I cut the Foliage to tuck below my flowers

and used a Green and Gold Mix to emboss the pieces, allowing

them to really pop. Sometimes a little elegance is needed to bring

all the pastel shades together to sing.

I love how chipboard and resin elements work together in harmony

to add glorious detail and texture.

Until next time...

Boys Will Be Boys - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share another fun masculine layout I created of our youngest!

2Crafty products used:

Steampunk Gears Small
Steampunk Gears Medium
Chevron Bits
Industrial Light Bulbs
12x12 nested Cog Frames
Boys Will Be Boys Title

I wanted to keep with the masculine grungy feel

I covered all the pieces with the exception of the lightbulbs with texture paste and allowed it to air dry

I used Dusty Durango stampin' up ink pad and orange brusho powder on the rust colored pieces including the lightbulbs

I used a combination of uncharted mariner and faded jeans distress oxide inks with turquoise brusho powder

When all the pieces were dry I dry brushed white paint overtop to accent the textures.

Thanks for stopping by

Choose Happy by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for July. 
 I have created a layout. 

"Choose Happy"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Choose Happy

*Boho Floral Clusters

*Flower Doilies

I have used the gorgeous Uniquely Creative 'While Away' Collection to create the base for my layout.  

I first painted the Choose Happy & Flower Doily chippies with a coat of Gesso.  Once dry I added a little amount of Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Paint to some gesso and then randomly dabbed this onto the chippie pieces.  The Boho Floral Clusters I have left raw.

I added some fussy cut tags from the "While Away" collection under my photo.  I cut the Flower Doily chippie in half and tucked a half along each side of my photo.  I added fussy cut flowers and paper blooms to the top and bottom of my photo and tucked a raw Boho Floral Cluster chippie into each of these.   I finished off my page by adding the Choose Happy chippie to the bottom left of my layout.

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

  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
