'' Christmas Day ''

Love that time!! Just before Christmas, the lights on, the decorations all around, just love it...

2craftychipboards used:

Corner Sweet Holly

Christmas Day Title

Ariel's Spray

I tried to create a layout with a magic side. I put a lot of layers to get dimension. 

I treated the Corner Sweet Holly and Arial's spray in the same way,
in just leaving it raw & adding gesso in just in some areas.

For the title Christmas day, I also put gesso on it in creating some textures.
 I added gold paint in randomly to get more highlights. 

''Merry Christmas Cards''

I love making cards thiis time of the year. 

 2craftychipboard used...:

Holly Leaves

Merry Christmas Script Card Pack

Pointed Ornament Set

Swirly Star Christmas Tree

Majestic Reindeer Set 

I really enjoy making these cards. I just played with embossing powders to color all of them.

I used an embossing glue pen to get some different colors areas on the swirly star Christmas tree.
 I used green for the tree, red for the small stars on it and gold for the star on the top.

The title Merry Christmas is embossed with red powder on this card and the
 Majestic Reindeer Set in gold.

For the other card, the title was embossed with gold and red powders to make an ombre effect. 

Love to play with pointed ornement set.
 I embossed in red the bases and make the shapes in gold to create deeper effect. 

I also embossed Holly leaves in green with some gold on the edges.

Hope you like my projects and that I have given you some new ideas to create...

That was my last post for 2crafty chipboards, I would like to thanks Vanessa and Di
 for all their support... I loved creating for you, and the 2Crafty fans... see you around soon...

December Inspiration By Jessika Lundman

"Christmas Cuties"

Hi guys!

Christmas is almost here! It is by far my favorite time of the year!

So for starters I want to show you this Christmas layout I made of my two cuties :) 

I used the color scheme of red, white and gold. Mostly I used color bloom spray for the

 red and gold and acrylic for the white.

Aren't the Christmas bulbs just beautiful? It is a big chipboard piece that I cut to pieces so I could place them exactly where I wanted them. The gold bow is also a part of that chipboard piece and I also have two swirls that where left overs from the same big chipboard piece that I will use on another layout.

The bulbs,  I embossed with white, red and sparkle embossing powder to really make them shine.

In the background you can see both white and gold. I splattered gold and white and also used

 heavy white gesso to make sort of a snow effect behind the embellishments.

"The Magic of You"

For my second layout I wanted to make something a little more boyish :) 

A magic layout for a magic boy.

At first this layout was all black and white stars but when it was almost finished and I

 looked at it I thought it lacked that "umpf" so I simply cut it in half and mounted it 

on a white cardstock. I loved how it came out! The contrast is awesome. Some 

black stars on the "other side" to tie the layout together.

All the chipboard is painted with white acrylic and that is also what I used on the
 background for splatters and dabbing.
