"destinations" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

It is always a pleasure to meet you to present my new project for the month of May.

A travel-inspired layout.

And the original photo of Leo and his mom that I found in coordination with my theme.

"destinations" 

   

The 2Crafty chipboards used:

- 6 X 4 Phrase Stick Set 1

- 12 X 12 Clock Face Frames

- Luggage

- Steampunk Element Set 1 

I apply a layer of white gesso to each chipboard. 

To choose the colors, 

I took as a starting point the moodboard of this magnificent collection of papers.

I had part of a previous layout left. 

On the "Clock Face" chipboard I started with orange ink. To add texture I apply a pattern that I emboss with a powder to emboss orange too. I stamp a pattern of lines in black and finish with finger applied wax in the shades of pink and blue.

For the chipboard "Luggage" I embossed a color powder "Café au lait" 

which I then waxed darker for a more vintage look.

I added these luggage in color to contrast the whole.

Here too, I had one word left of the phrase "beautiful destinations" that I simply added. 

Nothing is lost in scrap!

And these "Steampunk" that I had never used before, that I find beautiful 

and that I place in prominence. They fit so well into my disposition.

I hope the layout gives you some ideas for using our beautiful chipboard!

Thank you very much and see you soon.

Family by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

As we're slowly getting out of cold, cold winter here in Quebec, I wanted to create a layout that mixed winter colors and a tinge of warmer spring colors. I had this nice picture of my husband and I that our dog insisted to photo bomb (he's quite jealous and doesn't like to be left out) and it was perfect for what I had in mind.

"Family"

 

On the "4" Mandala No. 2", I applied a coat of black gesso and two coats of shimmering gold-baby-blue paint.

For the "Heart Silouettes", I used both the chipboard and the cutouts. I applied pink embossing ink on the cutouts and blue embossing ink on the chipboards. Then I traced the borders of both with black ink. On the "6x4 Phrase Stick Set 1", I just applied some black ink roughly with a pad.

On the "Flowery Lace Border", I used some ivory-gold embossing enamel. For the title, "Family Loopy Font", I applied some tarnished-copper embossing enamel.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Heart Silouettes [m00476]

Flowery Lace Border [db0098]

4" Mandala No. 2 [m00787]

6x4 Phrase Stick Set 1 [mb00870]

Family Loopy Font [w00128]

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you some ideas for your own creations! I'll be back in a few weeks with more inspiration to share with you. See you soon!

Dreamer PLUS VIDEOBy Sabrina Turpin

 Hello 2Crafty friends!

This year was very special for my son Liam. On top of all the COVID stuff that's been completely changing our lives, he started high school a few weeks ago! So far he's been loving his new school, discovering new friends and finding a whole new level of things to learn. 

Today I'm presenting a layout made with our traditional first school day picture.
I've also prepared a video to show some of the techniques I used.

“Dreamer”

"Dreamer VIDEO"

On the "Foliage Set 8", I applied two coats of green shimmering paint then 

inked the border with black ink.

For the "Flourish Adornment Set 6", I used white embossing enamel

with green sparkles mixed inside.

On the "Chicken Wire Panel", I used a gold embossing powder 

then roughly applied black ink on top.

For the "6x4 Phrase Sticks 1" (adventures are the best), I applied light gray paint and 

filled the inside of the letters with a pencil. On the title, "Dreamer", I used two coats of 

black embossing powder and brushed light gray paint on top of it.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in my layout:

Flourish Adornment Set 6 [pa0049]
Foliage Set 8 [m00867]
Chicken Wire Panel [m00400]
6x4 Phrase Sticks 1 [m00870]
Dreamer [w00581]

That's all for me today!

 I hope you liked this layout and it gave you some inspiration for your own creations.

 I'll be back soon with more ideas to share with you guys!

Adventures Are The Best Quebec City Trip By Jenny J.

 Hello everyone!

Here I am today with my first September inspiration.

I have simply applied a texture paste through my stencil for some texture.

Then I have built up my focal point with the main chipboard piece: 

"10" decorative panel -GRID"

This piece is treated with a colored texture spray and dry brushed with regular gesso.

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

*"10 Decorative panel-GRID

*Foliage set 5

*Mini word set 1

*6x4 phrase sticks set 1

This "6x4 phrase sticks set 1" chippie, as my title, is also dry brushed with white gesso.

Below, you will see a piece from "Mini word set 1"

treated with pico embellisher from irRESISTible.

Also, the heat embossed chipboard leaves are from "Foliage set 5".

My picture is showcased among all those lovely 2Crafty chippies

and some fussycut images from my paper pack.

I have added some embellishments and flowers as I always like too add,

and those cute little white drops for more texture.

Hope you are getting inspiration with this new layout,

see you later this month.

"This Is The New Normal By Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Summer season is well underway here in Quebec but it's a very strange one this year.
 2020 is unlike anything we ever seen or experienced in our lifetime.
 One little virus made it so we can't fully be ourselves, we can't do all the things we 

like to do, hug the people we love to hug.
 But all in all, we're glad that our family is together and we haven't lost any loved ones.
We're rediscovering joy in the little things of life. 

"This is the New Normal"

On the "Lace Doily Frame", I used my finger to apply a teal wax. 

Then, on top of it, I applied watercolour navy paint.

On the "Addy's Butterflies", I applied a navy wax and a white pearl embossing powder on top of it.

 On the "6x4 Phrase Sticks Set 1", I applied 2 coats of teal embossing powder. 

For the "Maggie's Swirl", I used pink-gold shimmering paint and added a pink embossing ink on top.

For the title, "This is the new normal", I used a midnight-gold embossing ink.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Lace Doily Frame [fr0130]

Maggie's Swirl [m00336]

Addy's Butterflies [m00581]

6x4 Phrase Sticks Set 1 [m0870]

Covid-19 [cov004]

That's all for me today!
I hope you enjoyed this layout and that it gave you ideas for your own creations! 

I'll be back soon with more inspiration to share with you guys.
 Until then, stay safe and if you're under lockdown, then it's the perfect time for more crafting!

 See you in a few weeks!
