"Christmas Cards" with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day, 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.....

Card 1: December 2024  

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
 Berry Vine Set
Card Xmas Baubles
Fine Word Set ~ Months
2024's

I just love making cards that are non traditional in colors so that is what I did here. For this card I altered the "Berry Vine Set" with spray paint without adding gesso first and then I added some lighter green acrylic paint with a sponge.

On the "Card Xmas Baubles" I added some black embossing powder on the hanging part but you can't see that anymore because I added flowers on top of that. But on the baubles I added some Christmas balls from the collage ephemera book {Christmas Fairies} 

That cute little fairy is also from that book, the word december & 2024 are treated with embossing powders both two layers and one n a two tone style. 

Card 2: Christmas Memories

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Dangling Merry Christmas Sign
Cherished Family Memories
Circle Dot Frames
Merry Christma Fine Card Pack

The "Circle Dot Frame" is treated with two layers of embossing powder in a green color. 

For this card I did use the traditional colors which is also fun to do....

For the dangling part from the "Merry Christmas Sign" I treated that one with a ink pad after I first added two layers of white gesso. I also did that with the word Christmas. The word memories is cut apart from the phrase "cherished family memories" and is treated with green metallique wax. 

 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....

December Projects with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty Chippy fans!

It's Lisa here today with some Christmas inspiration for you.

For my first project I have a wreath that I purchased.

It was just a plain twisted vine wreath with some silver glitter on it.

I obviously could not leave it in this neglected bare state :)

Here is how I decorated it.

I picked up some decorations in a colour scheme I liked and set to work sticking them on. 

I wanted the 2Crafty Chipboard pieces to stand out so I left them until last.

I have then used a couple of the "Starbright Snowflakes", that I have embossed in white.

I used my hot glue gun to glue them into place on top of the baubles.

I have then used some of the "Linear Snowflakes", that I have embossed 

in a teal to match the baubles I had stuck to the wreath.

I have then used some of the "Mini Reindeers", that I have embossed in a pale pink.

Another close up :)

I am in LOOOVE with these snowflakes, they're so pretty and delicate.

I really love how it turned out, it looks great hanging ready for Christmas.

To keep with the Christmas spirit I have created a set of two cards.

Up first is "Merry Christmas"

For the first card I have used modelling paste to stencil the snowflakes on.

I have then used the "Dangling Christmas Sign", that I have embossed in

white. I have then used Nuvo Drops & Stickles to highlight the 

baubles on the sign. 

I have then used two of the "Mini Reindeers", which I have inked purple to match my papers. 

I have then used silver to highlight their enters, tails and feet.

Up next I have "Joy"

For this card I have used one of the gorgeous 

"Mini Bauble Trees", 

I have again used Nuvo Drops and Stickles to highlight the baubles.

I have also used the word Joy from the

"Christmas Mini Word Set 2",

that I have embossed in dark purple.

Lastly I have used one of the "Linear Snowflakes", embossed in 

white, tucked into my layers.
