"Two Christmas Cards" with Amy Voorthuis

  Hi lovely creative peeps, 
Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day this second last day of the year 2024, for today I have two Christmas cards to share with you and I used some of the amazing chipboard pieces 2Crafty Chipboard offers. Enjoy this post.....

Two Christmas Cards:

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Festive Vine
Frame Viney Circles
Crystal Snowflakes
Word Circles Christmas
Holly Twig Branches

Card 1: A Season of Magic and Wonder: 

In my last post I told you that I am hooked Twin/Aqua markers to color my chipboard it's so addictive and very easy to color the smallest lines. It's not that I will never use acrylic paint again but this makes my scrapping time a little bit faster.  

On the holly twig branches & festive vine after I painted them with the markers, I treated it with some snow and matt wax in a brown shade. The snowflake was just treated with some white gesso and shimmer spray. 

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Frame Mini Doodled Set
Foliage Set 11
Crystal Snowflakes
Holly Twig Branches
Fern Leaf Set

Card 2: Magical Christmas Wishes:

That fern leaf was treated with some green acrylic matte paint, snow and matte brown wax. I always love it to not use traditional colors for my cards 

And aren't those images sweet? I made these cards for my colleagues and they loved them. 

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....

"Merry Christmas" Canvas and Video by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

As always I am happy to see you again to share my new inspiration for this month of November.

My project is a canvas measuring 30 cm by 21 cm.

My granddaughter wanted a new Christmas decoration for her room using this photo we spotted on Pinterest.

Featuring this beautiful "Santa's Coming to Town Set" chipboard set

He is sublime.

"Merry Christmas" 

I made a video that you can watch HERE

The chipboard used:

- Card-Merry Xmas Words

-Santa's Coming to Town Set

- Crystal Snowflakes

I choose to highlight the chipboards using white acrylic paint. 

To emphasize the details, I then use gold acrylic paint. 

I love the effect obtained. 

I didn't add much more embellishment, I think this strip is so perfect.

      I use the same technique to decorate Santa's sleigh and "Chrystal Snowflakes". 

I add glitter to bring even more sparkle.

Watching the video is a good way to get more details.

I hope you like it.

See you soon!

Christmas Wishes Easel Cards by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for September.  I have created a set of Christmas Cards. 

"Christmas Wishes Easel Cards"

2 Craft Chipboard Used:

*Engraved Baubles

*Crystal Snowflakes

*Lacey Border Set 1

I created each of my card bases using the beautiful Uniquely Creative Christmas Wishes Collection.
  I used Silver Leaf Paint to colour the Engraved Bauble chippies pieces and once dry I added
 some soft pink paint to the bows.

  I used Colour Blast Blush Colour Paste to colour the
 Crystal Snowflakes & Lacey Border chippies.  Once the Snowflakes & Lacey Border were
 dry I randomly dabbed on some of the silver leaf paint over them.  To construct each
of the cards I added a Engrave Bauble to each and then embellished them with assorted
 section of the easel cards.  I then added some of the Crystal Snowflake chippies to
 each of the cards.

See each card below.

Thats' all from me today.

 I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Christmas Wishes Easel Cards. 

Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

"Snow Happy" Layout By Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

This layout was inspired by the happiness of my grandson in this photo taken recently 

during the ski holidays. 

He was so proud to win his first medal for his skiing debut.

"Snow Happy" 

2Crafty Chipboard used:

- Snow Happy

- 6" Circle Zipper Frame Set

- Funky Outline Christmas Trees

- Crystal Snowflakes

To achieve this layout I was inspired by the colors of my grandson’s outfit.

I start by using black gesso on the chipboards "Circle Zipper Frame" and "Funky Outline Christmas".

On the circle I add a thin layer of "Old White" matte wax.

On the chipboard "Funky Outline Christmas" I choose different colors and materials. 

A wax "Lucky Emerald", embossing powder "Ghouly Goblin Green" and again wax "Old White.

I love layering chipboard!

I use "White" embossing powder to embellish the "Crystal Snowklakes" chipboards 

and I insert them into my embellishment cluster.

I do the same for the title, but I make it even whiter by applying two layers.

Nothing special for this layout, just add beautiful chipboards and voila.

Many thanks for your visit!

Marie

 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!
