Christmas Exploding Box #2 - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share my next Christmas exploding box I created!

2Crafty Products used:

Card word packs - Xmas

Christmas Lights Strands
Presents
Blitzen
Foliage Set 3

Crystal Snowflakes

For the outside of the box I layered some die squares & circles with the chipboard presents and some fussy cut Christmas images.

I always prep my chipboard with gesso then set about to alter them.  For the presents I painted them green then added some red glitter!  I love shiny things at Christmas!

The inside flaps I layered the painted and glitter chipboard - Foliage Set 3 and Crystal Snowflakes with some handmade poinsettias

I painted the Blitzen chipboard, added white glitter and a touch of gold around his antlers and nestled him with a few more poinsettias 

And for the box lid I layered the Christmas strands enhanced with more glitter with another larger poinsettia

Thanks for stopping by

Wish upon a star By Marie Claude Rodier

 Hello gang!

December is finally here and embracing it  thoroughly this year!
My layout is full of details of fussy cutting elements, flowers and lots of lovely
2Crafty chippies too. Snowflakes and reindeer are classical Christmassy pieces that
are super easy to incorporate to any layout.

Wish upon a Star

Wish upon a Star was basecoated with white gesso, then embossed with a clear holographic powder. Light gold watercolor was added on top of it for shadowing effect.

Florence Swirl Set was embossed first with a darker pink layer of powder and with another lighter one. The sparkle effect was obtained by overheating the second layer.

Blitzen was embossed with dark rose gold powder.

Christmas Tag By Karan Gerber

Hi Friends and welcome to the 2 Crafty Blog today.

Its Karan  Gerber here to share some Christmas Decor with you using some
of the Christmas selections of chipboard that 2 Crafty has to offer. 

With Christmas on my mind I thought it would be nice to create some Home Decor as
 this beauty would be perfect sitting on a plate stand with fairy lights around the bottom. 

The base is designed from the Tim Holtz etc tags and these are a very

 thick chipboard designed for mixed media. 

I heat embossed the Reindeer in white; the ornaments were cut apart from the
 border and used individually and heat embossed with Crimson embossing powder.

The Chicken Wire was embossed with Ancient Amber embossing powder and I
 cut it in half and it sits on either side of the paper layers. 

I love how this tag turned out and I hope I have inspired you to 

think about your Christmas Home Decor!

"Delight" Layout by Marie S.

Hello, here is my second inspiration for this month of January.

I stayed in the spirit of the fairy, and specifically the "The Snow Queen" ...

For this page I chose a dark background to bring out the 
colors of my photo and chipboards.

2Crafty Chipboard used :

- Mini words Set 2

- Blitzen

- Mandala No 1 4 inch 

- Mandala No 1 6 inch

- Fern Leaf Set

Close-ups of the "Blitzen", "Mandala  # 1- 6 inch" & "Fern Leaf Set" 
chipboards, to which I applied directly a 
gold-colored acrylic paint and a gel gloss.

I then cut in half the chipboard "Mandala N# 1- 4 inch" in two that I

 simply covered with a white acrylic paint and a clear glossy varnish.

And to finish the title "Delight" that I embossed silver grey.

It's so good to create

Thank you for your visit!

 

"The Magic of Christmas" Layout by Marie Sabatier

I present to you a new page in the spirit of the magic of Christmas.
 I was inspired to create this page by the chipboard "Blitzen".
 It is such a magical design...

"The Magic of Christmas"

For the chipboard "Blitzen" and for the title, I just applied a

 layer of white gesso that I covered with a  "nuvo" silver color.

For the "Fern Leaf" chipboard, after applying a layer of white gesso,

 I inked it with a black and silver color. 

Then I added some embossing powder to get relief.

For "Turkish Lanterns" chipboards I applied an "Obviously Black" embossing powder.

To finish the chipboard "Fine Snowflakes" I used 

an embossing powder Transparent glitter.
