HELLO everyone!

Rachael with you today sharing my newest creation ..

 I've got into the Christmas spirit & have created a

 non-traditional, colored-themed layout using some FABULOUS chipboard...

2 Crafty Chipboard used: 

the medium size from 11" Holly Frame Set 

Mini hashtag Xmas

Holly leaves

Bauble Ornament set

2018

I started with giving these baubles a coat of gesso,

then randomly dabbing them with some inks...

The 2018 has been given two coats of gesso..

while I inked the #christmasjoy with black..

These hashtag words are always a great addition to any project i think...

I just love the Mini hashtag words...

Lastly for the Holly Frame, I gave it a thick coat of gesso

and once dried added some ink.... AND

For the Holly leaves, I gave them a light coat of gesso then added ink... 

That's it from me & 

I'll be back later on in the month

till then 💟

'Christmas Joy Cards with Lisa Amiet

 Hello everyone!
It's Lisa here today to share some
Christmas card inspiration with you!

'Christmas Joy & Christmas Memories'

2Crafty products used:

For my first card, I used some of the 'Crystal Snowflakes',

that I have embossed in a silver glitter finish,

and tucked into my layers. 

I have also used one of the 'Mini Title Stick Christmas Set 1',

which I have left raw to coordinate with the corrugated cardboard. 

I have also used one of the 'Bauble Ornament Set',

which I have also embossed in the silver glitter finish. 

Love that sparkle!

For my second card, I used one of the snowflakes and stars,
 from the 'Wintery Snowflakes' set, also embossed in the silver glitter finish. 

I have layered these onto my title,

one of the 'Mini Title Stick Christmas Set 1',

again left raw to coordinate with the cardboard.

I have also used one of the super cute 'Mini Santa's Sleigh Card Pack',

again finished in a silver glitter embossing powder. 

I really like the sparkle and impact that these pieces have on my cards. 
I hope that you too like what I have created,
 and that it inspires you to have some 2Crafty time today.

Until next time!

'Bake Cookies' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some Christmas inspiration with you!
I have created this layout to celebrate the
 family tradition of baking Christmas cookies.

2Crafty Products used:

I have used a black background for this layout,

 as I really wanted the red and white elements to pop off my page. 

For this layout I have used an assortment of Christmas pieces.

I have used one of the 'Bauble Ornament Set',

that I have finished in white, and then coated in iridescent glitz,

for a lovely sparkle against the black background.

I have also used the snowflake from the 'Christmas Assortment' set. 

I have also finished this with a sparkle.

I have also used the 'Gingerbread House',

that I have highlighted parts of with red paint.

Finally, I have used the gingerbread man from the 'Christmas Assortment',

that I have also painted parts of and layered with a sentiment. 

I hope that you like what I have created,
I will be back with some inspiration for you soon.

Until then

It's the season to SPARKLE a XMAS layout by Jenny J.

                                                                          Hi Everyone

Here is my first inspiration for December.

The chipboards involved are 

*Doodled frames

*Bauble ornament

*word It's time to SPARKLE

*Winter twig

I've started by applying clear gesso on my background and then, 

heavy gesso with my brayer.

I've built up my focal point on this whiter area.

As you can see above, a really cute frame is on my picture.

This "Doodled frames" piece is painted with a minty rustic paint 

and lightly rubbed with a metallic one.

Same treatment was applyed on one of the "Bauble ornament".

For the other chippie of that set,

it was heat embossed in red and

 I've putted a piece of scrap paper under to make it pop.

There is a few pieces of "Winter twig" as well.

They are only treated with 2 colors of brown paints

Finally, the word "It's the season" 

is covered with 2 different embossing powders.

This is it!

Hope you will have a wonderful time despite this Covid situation.

Stay safe everyone xx

A Christmas Tradition By Marie Claude Rodier

Good day lovelies!

Christmas spirit is in full mode around here... The tree is up, the decorations are in place,
the Elf has arrived and we are enjoying every minute of it!!!

What was once a funny photo session has become an annual tradition.
The kids put their Christmas hats on and pose for a few minutes next to the tree and mama tries to take as many pictures as possible while they last still.

"A Christmas Tradition"

A Christmas tradition title was first painted in white acrylic and 

embossed with gold embossing powder.

The bauble (Bauble Ornament Set) on top was painted in white acrylic and then embossed with a vanilla sparkle powder. 

The bauble tucked behind was also painted in white and then covered with a semi-transparent holographic silver embossing powder. 

Ornate Snowflakes were painted and embossed using the same technique, one in a vanilla tone and the other one in a clear silver tone.

December Inspiration - by Lilibleu

"Christmas Day"

Hello everyone!

Today, it's my turn to present my December projects. I made two pages with a

Christmas theme. It's a time of year that I love the atmosphere, the magic that

 can be felt in the air as well it can be seen in the eyes of children.

For my first project, I mainly used pink and purple hues and I worked on a beige background.

I chose to emboss all the chipboards in white to look like the color of the snow and 

so that they can perfectly fit in my page while remaining clearly visible.

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

- Christmas-Day 

- Bauble Ornament Set

- Corner Sweet Holly 

"Merry Christmas"

For this second project, I chose very different colors but I wanted to keep the Christmas theme. I found on Pinterest this beautiful photo which, for me, perfectly illustrates the magic of Christmas.

As for my first page, I embossed all the chipboards with white powder. I think it's

 very lovely and suits perfectly with pages on Christmas and/or winter themes.

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

- Merry Christmas Card Pack 

 - Bauble Ornament Set

- Holly Branch 

See you next month!!
