May Shares With Beck BT

Hi, it's Beck Beattie here. Today I am sharing some fun projects featuring 2Crafty Chipboard of course!   I have had some fun with them this month adding some different effects to the chipboard pieces.
  But before we start.... Please remember while you are here  to become a blog follower & leave a blog comment to

    "Sparkle"

I used 3 different designs of chipboard on this page and incorporated different effects on each one.

I also have  video to share this month of this scrapbook page I created.  

For the Number Panels I first embossed the chipboard with an embossing folder and 

die cut and emboossing machine.  I then added some Faber-Castell Gesso which I really 

love as it is nice and thin perfect for rubbing on with my finger over the raised areas.

I then used some of the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Paper Crafter Crayons which 

I melted onto my craft Sheet and then placed the chipboard pieces face down into the melted

 crayon to give the mottled effect.  It dries almost instantly and gives such a fun colour addition!

Lastly I coloured the loveyoumore title with my black Faber-Castell's PITT Big Brush pen.

"Happy Birthday Card"

For my second project I created a sweet boy card using the same paper collection and products but focusing on using 2Crafty's chipboard perfectly made for smaller projects such as cards!  

For the 'Happy Birthday' Sentiment and Chevrons, I coloured them using Faber-Castell's PITT Big Brush pens in black.  They have a high quality India Ink in them perfect for a lovely finish.

I wanted to give the stars a fun metal look so I coloured those using Faber-Castell - PITT Artist Pen in Silver.  Again this has a wonderful India ink in them for beautiful coverage

November Layouts by Debbi Tehrani

"Happy"

My first page I'd like to share was created for last month's mood board at Scrap Around the World. 2Crafty was sponsoring this fun challenge, and our design team was invited to play along as guest designers. My page was inspired by the colors and each one of four of the images in the moodboard. And of course, I was able to find the perfect 2Crafty chipboard to make my page.

The bottom middle photo of the mood board looked like bubbles and that gave me the idea to use the 2Crafty "Crazy Circles" panel. The watercolor in the top left image of the moodboard inspired me to try giving this piece a watercolor, rainbow look. I sprayed various colors of spray ink on plastic film and then pressed it onto the gesso-coated chipboard panel. I tilted the panel on its side. I love that the open circles give you space to add little bits and pieces. My journaling, tucked into a paper bag starts "There is always something to be thankful for," and I journaled about some of the many blessings in my life.

I treated the title, from the "Birthday Sentiments" sheet with the same watercolor technique. The bird in the moodboard gave me the idea to use feathers under my title. I coated them with gesso and then painted them with Twinkling H2O's, which gave them a lovey shimmer.

  As I was looking for some colorful papers, I came across this piece that looked sort of like a paint chip, and I wondered if the 2Crafty "Small Filmstrip" would work here, and it was just perfect! I inked it with black stamp ink to make it stand out. I watercolored some hearts and stars from the "ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" sheet to sprinkle around the page.

"Selfie"

  These lovely ladies are my husband's sister and her daughters. Shahrzad is visiting from Iran, so I decided I'd start an album for her, using pictures I snagged off of her Facebook page.  

The "Selfies Word Pack" was just the thing for this page, as were the "Polaroid Assortment Frames." I embossed these pieces with a white embossing powder that has silver flecks in it for some glitz and glamour. 

  A glittery, silver-embossed "Mini Camera" was a perfect accent for a selfie page, and it was a great place to stick a subtitle from "Mini Word Set 1." I used black stamp ink on the "Sharon's Butterflies" for a dramatic touch against the bright pink.

"Dumb and Dumber"

My friend Tracee Provis is visiting me from the U.K. for three weeks. 

We're both scrappers, so we're always on the lookout for fun photo ops. 

My local craft store was happy to oblige!

I found lots of awesome 2Crafty pieces to suit the mood of this layout. 

I used the Circle Stack as a starting framework for my layout 

and inked it with black Archival Stamp Ink. 

I tucked frames the Polaroid Assortment Frames set into my photo clusters. 

I embossed the frames with white embossing powder

 and then used a black pen to outline them. 

Goofy eye brads added a touch of fun. 

The orange arrow, which was dabbed with orange ink 

and also outlined with black pen, is from the Assorted Arrows set. 

Three metal dots added a bit of interest to the arrow.

The Bubble Clumps were a perfect element to add whimsy to this page. 

I used Alpha Set 1 for my title, inking it with black stamp ink 

and then outlining it with a white gel pen. 

A larger Polaroid Frame fit the bill for holding the ampersand in my title.

2Crafty has a bunch of different arrow sets, and I used a whisical Doodled Arrow 

to point to the goofy picture of me. That piece was inked in two different colors 

to match my paper and then embossed 

with clear embossing powder to give it some shine.

 Finally, I used a Tiny Film Strip in the corner to balance out my page.

"Happy Time"

This is another layout I recently made using 2Crafty chipboard. This was made for CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration, using this Case File:  

  I used a Clock Face Frame embossed with platinum embossing powder.  The adorable Birdhouse, inked in yellow and sanded,  along with the accompanying bird painted in blue, was a perfect accompaniment.  

  For my title, I used a "Happy" from the Birthday Sentiments,  and used navy embossing powder to give it some happy shine. 2Crafty Products used on this page: 6" Clock Face Frames Birdhouse Birthday Sentiments 

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek at my pages. 

I hope I gave you some ideas for using the beautiful 2Crafty chipboard.
