Hello 2Crafty fans!

Here is my last 2 projects with 2Crafty team. I hope to have inspired you during this year and a half.

I had a lot of fun creating with these wonderful chipboards. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. You can keep following me on my blog if you want.

Now, here is a Christmas tag with "Swirly Star Border" that I embossed in white. I added several stars of "ATC tiny hearts&stars" decorated with Ranger enamel accent.

I love the chipboard "Deer head set". It's one of my favorite one. I just embossed one of the head with black embossing powder. I like the dramatic effect.

Now, here is a Christmas Card, very simple but very beautiful. I used a wonderful piece "Chloe's Vines". I embossed in white before painting it with 13arts paint. I love the imperfect look.

I embossed in white the word magic on "Christmas mini word set 2". 

I also added stars painted with Ranger Enamel Accent.

November Layouts by Valerie Ouellet

"Beautiful Little Girl"

Hi everyone!

I decided to stay as clean as possible & keep my chipboards white.
I used the chipboard "Beautiful Little Girl" as my title. 

Behind my photo, I used a new chippie "Pointed Doily Frames". I love this chipboard!
 I embossed it with "Royal Crush Wow Embossing Glitter". This is my favorite color!

I used another new chippie "Moroccan Bits".

"Beautiful Little Girl"

"Pointed Doily Frames"

"Moroccan Bits"

"Memories"

For this clean layout, I made the background by myself with watercolors.
 I only added a few embellishments.

I used "Spring Flower Bunches" and "Moroccan Bits" that I embossed in white.

Another new chippie that I used is "Arrow Word Set 1". I embossed
 "Memories Arrow" in indigo blue and I put it on my photo.

September Layouts By Valerie Ouellet

"Enjoy the Journey"

Hi everyone! Here is my two September layouts with 2Crafty Chipboard.

For this first  layout, I used a beautiful new chippie with swirls and stars. "Swirly Star Border", 
it's one of my favorites! I embossed this chipboard with white glitter embossing powder 
and emboss gloss. I love the effect.

2Crafty Chippies used:

"Enjoy The Journey" 

"Flower Doilies" 

"Swirly Star Border"

Next, I used one of the "Flower Doilies" behind my photo. I embossed it with mint embossing powder.

My title "Enjoy The Journey" is very special. I used black Tsukineko pico 3D with my brush
 to create some textures. I added silver rub paste on. I am very happy with  it!

"Love"

For this one, I used some 13arts paints to create a real flower and leaves look. Then, I drew 
 lines with pens. I love this real effect on the "Flower Clusters".
See below

2Crafty chippies used:

"Ava's Frame"

"Fine word set 1"

"Flower Clusters"

I used the new chippie "Fine word set 1". I used the word "Love" from the set & I painted it purple.

The big chipboard behind is "Ava's Frame". A beautiful frame that I painted 
with two tones of purple 13arts paints.

Hi everyone! Today I'm back with two cards and a VIDEO tutorial.  

  I used my fabulous 13arts paints to make my background and Steadler pencils.    Here is a link to my video tutorial.

I have used "Flower Doiley" that I painted with two colors of 13arts paint. I have made a mistake in my video about the name of the first chipboard that I used.  

  Then, I painted the "Leafy Shrub 1" with 13arts paint too. I love this chippie.  I painted  the first layer with vivid blue and the second with a little bit of violet.  

  Finally. I added some pieces of "Fine leafy Vines" that I embossed with my  favorite powder "Royal Crush".

 For the second card, I have tried to change my scrapbook style a little.

I have used one of the "Frame Handdrawn Hearts" in the background.   

  I have glued all of my items down and then I colored all of the card with 13arts sprays.    

I used one of the "Key set mini's" and "Giant Gears" set.

July Layouts By Valerie Ouellet PLUS A VIDEO TUTORIAL

  "Memories"

Hi everyone! Here is my two July layouts with 2Crafty Chipboard.

But before we start...

Please remember while your here be sure you have

become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to
be eligible to go in our monthly draw for a great chippie prize pack.

This page started with flowers handdrawn with micron pen and watercolor.
 I love making my backgrounds by myself.

I used "Cassie's Flourishes" that I embossed with black embossing powder.

 I cut some parts of the chippie. 

I added my favorite chippie "Lattice leaves" & painted them

 with two colors of 13arts paints.

I love to use this paint with my chipboard because just one coat is enough.

A little bit of sewing thread and Cuts2luv flair to finish off.

My title is embossed with the same black powder as my swirl. I just cut the 

word magical from the chippie "Magical Memories". I like the small title.
