"The Magic of Snow" by Amy Voorthuis

  Goodmorning 2Crafty friends, 
So glad you are visiting this amazing blog, I really love creating with beautiful chipboard pieces like these. For today I have another 12 by 12 layout as those are my favorites to make. This time I made a wintery layout {my favorite to make} I used two pictures of Abbey in the snow back in 2021. 

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces. 

The Magic of Snow:

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
2021's 
Crystal Snowflakes
Corner Crackle
Christmas Frame 1
Winter Twig Branches 
Snowball Tree
Scrabble Tiles
The Magic of Snow

The beautiful "Christmas Frame 1" was altered with some true snow by {aleene's} after I firstly gessod all my pieces. After that I added some white & pink spray. I really love to alter my chippies with sprays because of the stainlike look. In the middle of the snowflakes I added a pearl drop and the word winter is altered with some white embossing powder. 

I cut up the "Snowball Tree" in several pieces and tuck them in my flower cluster they are altered with some wowzers white embossing powder and on the balls I added some nuvo crystal drops. The title was treated with some sprays and wax.

'

The "Corner Crackle" has to be my favorite piece of 2Crafty Chipboard I tuck that one underneath my first picture. and that one was also altered with some true snow and white spray. The "Twig Branches" I sprayed them with green sprays. All the products used but for the chippies are by 49 and Market.

'Simple Moments' layout by Rachael Funnell

Hello there everyone!

Rach back with you today to share my newest layout

I have created and have included some fabulous 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces...

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Frame Bracket borders

6" Grid Panel

The fine word set - Months

2021

Mini title sticks set 1

Let's start with my Title and I have used 'Simple Moments' from Mini title sticks set 1 

 Keeping with the color scheme I have just simply inked this Mini stick

 with a Pale blue, then finish it off by adding just a little bit of gesso around the edge..

Next up I have used the  Fine word set - Month - October & 2021

Again I have just simply inked them with some green ink..

I know I may sound like a broken record BUT.... 

 I absolutely LOVE to add the date to my layouts, not only does it look so GOOD, 

but you don't need to try & guess when the photo was taken it when you add them...

Next up is the 6" Grid Panel which I have inked with a lovely mid blue

cut the Panel up into smaller pieces & glued these smaller pieces to the background of my page..

And lastly is the Frame Bracket borders where I have used the

largest frame from the set & have inked this with a yellow..

Thanks so much for popping by,

'Simple Moments'

Hello 2 Crafty fans, Rach with you sharing my newest layout created with

some beautiful 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces....

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

ATC - Title Stick set 1

12" Parisian board

6" Parisian board mini

2021

Foilage set 9

As usual for me, I have not done a lot of treatment to the chipboard I've used

but still, each piece still makes a statement on the page..

Starting with the 2021 where I've inked it with a similar color to

 the chipboard using Ranger - Distress Oxide - Frayed burlap

And with the Stick Title 'Simple Moments' Ranger - Distress Oxide - Peacock Feathers...

Next is the gorgeous Foilage from Set 9 & using the same colors 

first inking with Frayed burlap, then randomly inking with the Peacock Feathers

and then cutting into smaller pieces & gluing down throughout fussy cutting 

And don't it LOOK  AWESOME...

Lastly! But certainly not least is the Parisian boards, one in 6" & the other in 12" 

And I have left the raw.and glued to either side of the edge of my page.

Thanks for stopping by 

and Until next time.
