"Tis the season' layout By Rachael Funnell

 Hello there! Rachael with you today 

and I have another Christmas-themed layout to share

 and hopefully, inspire you in some way...

2 Crafty Chipboard used: 

2020 Christmas tree

ATC - Tiny hearts & stars

Xmas lights border

Oriental Alphabet

Scrabble tiles

Let's start with this fabulous 2020 Christmas tree 

where I have kept it quite simple, inking it with 

this lovely green, which looks great might I add...

Next up is the Xmas lights border..

I started by giving this a thick coat of gesso, then colored the lightbulbs with a nice fiery red.... 

I just love how this has turned out....

Then we have those Tiny Stars, I coloured  these with a burnt yellow color

and scattered them throughout my page...

Lastly, for my title....

2 Crafty has some GREAT Christmas titles, but I wanted to do something a little different 

and  it just so happens I was an S short  in the Scrabble tiles, therefore I used an S from 

Oriental Alphabet, Colouring the S with the same color as the stars and the Scrabble tiles

I have been given a light coat of gesso...

That's it from me for this year..

I would like to thank all of you for all your support in 2022...

I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and

 that 2023 brings you lots of joy....

'Todays Moments' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa back today to share some inspiration with you. 
I have been working some more on my album.

2Crafty Products used:

This time I have worked on the inside cover and the first single page, 

filling in the gaps :)

For the inside cover,

I have used some of the 'Scrabble Tiles',

left raw to go with my vintage feel.

I have also used one of the 'Light Bulbs'.

I have also used one of the 'Mini Family Icons',

layered with elements from my papers.

For this page, I have used some of the 'Fencing Wire Panel',

that I have cut up and added into my layers. 

I have also used some of the 'Steampunk Gears Small',

 in among my layers and paper elements. 

Lastly, I have used one of the '6 x 4 Phrase Stick Set 5',

which I have cut in half and adhered to the bottom of my page. 

I have then finished with one of the 'Geometric Arrows' 

I hope that you like how my album is coming along. 

I'm on a roll with it now!

Until next time!

"Treasure" Shadowbox by Elena Martynova

Hi dear friends!

It's Elena Martynova here today and I'm so excited 

to share my new project.

For our blog, I made such an interior thing - a shadowbox "Treasure".

I wanted to dive into the world of mixed-media, and play with colors and textures.
In addition, the blank for the shadowbox has been lying around for several years.

I made two doors - top and bottom and immediately there 

was a mystery - what is hidden behind them?

I decorated them with chipboard elements and small metal handles.

Let's open the top door first.

I put a picture of a lady in a frame here. Perhaps it was she who owned
these treasures, who knows... We also find two letters from the game Scrabble A and K.
It's probably her initials.

I used a mould by Finnabair to make these wonderful decorative elements.

Let's skip the Central part for now and open the lower door.

It hides three light bulbs, a clock chip on a metal flower, and three more letters.

In the Central part you will see an inscription with the name of the shadowbox, 

I also added some metal jewelry and a glass bottle filled with microbeads.

I took 7 DOTs Studio paper for the background.

 

I was glad to inspire you today! See you soon, bye-bye!

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard:

Lace Squares 

Circle Tag Set 1 

Formal Flourish 3

Scrabble Tiles

Delicate Lace Border

LAYOUT - Memories by Elena Martynova

Hello my creative friends!

Today I want to show you my new layout for 2CRAFTY CHIPBOARD and CSI Challenge! 

The new board is truly inspiring. I created a romantic layout with the paper by 49 &Market.

Join to Challenge and create any projects inspired by the Moodboard.

I used four pieces of 2Crafty chipboard:

Memories

Lavendar Shrub 

Flower Medallions

Scrabble Tiles

I took two contrasting sheets from different collections. I love to mix. 

I also made a more interesting background with the stamps and stencils.

The title Memories was covered with "Marble-ous" powder by Lindy's. 

I sprinkled gold glitter on the chipboard Flower Medallions

Lavendar Shrub are covered with "Chalk it up" powder by Lindy's. 

The letters from the set of Scrabble Tiles I toned down at the edges with a black stamp pad.

Thank you for your attention and for being here.

I wish you a lot of inspiration and enjoy your favorite process!

With love, Elena

'Grunge Tags' with Lisa Amiet

Hello everybody!

It's Lisa here today to share some grungy inspiration with you.

I have created a pair of gift tags,

perfect for the men in my life :)

2Crafty Products used:

 

For my first tag I have started with a mixed media background ,

I have used one of the 'Sequins Negative Bits' pieces, 

that I have roughly inked in black & brown.

I have also used one of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium',

and one of the 'Dominos',

that I have left raw and adhered into my layers.

I have also used one of the 

'Light Bulb Word Set 1',

which I have also left raw to go with the grungy feel.

Along with one of the 'Mini Family Icons'.

For my second tag I have used the same papers and grunge feel, 

I have used one of the 'Brick Panel',

that I have cut into pieces and finished with black embossing powder.

I have also used one of the 'Scrabble Tiles',

left raw and on my layers.

I have used another of the 'Steampunk Gears Medium'

and the 'Light Bulb Word Set 1', 

that I have inked brown.

To finish I have used one of the 'View Finders', 

left raw in among my layers.

I hope that you like what I have created,

and that it inspires you to get crafty today!

Until next time!

Lisa
