Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishesby Charmane Sharp

My first Easter share for 2025 is a canvas decor panel I created with

the intention of compiling loads of glorious layers, filled with texture.

I love the Branch Frame that was my base to build upon.

2crafty Chipboard used...

12x12 Branches Frame set

Lattice Leaves

Corner Hannah

ATC Georgian Frames

The Branch Frame also comes with small branches which I tucked in

amongst my layers for extending details. They were both coloured using

Distress oxides in Gathered twigs and Lost shadow.

Lattice Leaves are a great foliage choice to add extra texture. Tucking

them underneath floral elements added a softness with the colouring

choice of Bundled Sage and Lost Shadow Oxides.

By placing Corner Hannah Flourish piece in the middle of my

composition it allowed the swirls to escape out the sides for glorious

features. Speckled Egg and Lost Shadow Oxide team up beautifully.

I glued the Georgian Frame on to a piece of ephemera after applying

Tattered Rose Oxide and a light brush of Gesso. Making a unique 

embellishment to tuck under the centre of my arrangement.

Adding so many layers of flowers, lace, fussy cut elements and 2Crafty

Chipboard gave so much height off my canvas. I hope you are inspired

to add lots of layers to a decor piece this Easter. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

Loving YOU by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing my last layout for March. 

I am ALL about ALL things canine. And have to say, that when I first saw this photo, my heart melted! I knew I had to scrap it. 

I always pull the colors from the photo to created my layouts, I think that doing this is more pleasing to the eye. But this photo is basically just one color, so I had a hard time finding the right ones to use for the background and the embellishments. After searching through 'oh so much' stuff (you get it), I finally found the colors to compliment the photo. Some color schemes are easier for me than others. This is one of the 'others'.

"Loving YOU" 

2Crafty Goodness used:

Spring Flower Bunches

10" Hexagon Frame Set

Perfect as YOU are

Loving THESE MOMENTS

As always, I primed my chipboard with Gesso before painting.

The 10" Hexagon Frame Set is absolutely fabulous! What an impact it gives this layout. Using it to frame the composition draws your eye straight to the photo. I simply painted it with bronze Acrylic Paint to match the other embellishments.

The flower cluster needed something to break up all the bronze and add some definition, so I placed a few of the Spring Flower Bunches amongst them. I painted them with a mix of White, Parchment and Raw Sienna Acrylic Paint.

I chose to use words from two different titles to make up this title. 'Loving' from Loving THESE MOMENTS, and 'YOU' from Perfect as YOU are. Sometimes I don't have room for one big title, so I will cut up the titles and just use a word or two. I needed to best utilize the space while still capturing the feel of the photo. This worked. I painted it with a mix of White and Parchment Acrylic Paint.

I hope you like this and that I have inspired you. Creating a monochromatic color scheme can be challenging, but so worth it!!

See you back in a few weeks with more from 2Crafty.

Winged Melodies Cards by Tania Ridgwell

Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share a bonus DT project for March. 
 I have created a set of sweet cards for as a bonus share.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Card - Word Circle Set - Happy Birthday

*Mollie's Butterfly Set

*Flower Doilies

I created each of my card bases using the gorgeous Mintay "Winged Melodies" Paper Collection. 

I first gave all the chippie pieces a couple of coats of gesso.  I then used the Cocktail Party & Merry Mint Distress Crayons to give all the chippie pieces a little bit of colour.

To construct each of the cards I added a Flower Doilie chippie to each.  I 

then embellished them with die cut elements and paper blooms. I tucked in a Mollie's Butterfly chippie amongst the blooms and finished each card with a Happy Birthday chippie Sentiment.

See each card below and the tag below.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my sweet Winged Melody Cards.  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Yes, this is me as a little one.

 2Crafty Products used;

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

Bubble Grid Panel

Word Circle Set 1

Banners Flags

I decided to keep withe pastel colours of the papers and used yellow and pink acrylic
 paint for this layout of me when I was really little.

After I painted the title (word circle - sweet)  I added some pink glitter to make it stand out more.

I decided to ink all the edges of the chipboard pieces with some brown ink to keep with
 the vintage feel of the layout.

I also added a bit of yellow glitter to the stars.

"World Traveller" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the 2Crafty website.

I present you my second inspiration of this March.

An invitation to travel with a layout embellished with a collection of splendid chipboards, 

accompanied by photos of my grandchildren during a train trip.

"World Traveller"

The chipboard used:

world-traveller-title

thin-square-stacked-frames

world-globe

page-tab-set

grungy-spatter-bits

circle-arrow-journal-spots

luggage

mini-title-stick-set-6

I went a bit overboard with the number of chipboards, but I liked them all!

I outlined the center of my page with a solid-colored piece of paper.

I positioned my two photos that I framed with the chipboards "thin-square-stacked-frames" that I embellished using embossing powders of Lindy’s Gang color "Golden Angel Wings".At an angle of the photos, I create a cluster of embellishment, I add a tab "page-tab-set". They are great to bring a little bit of detail. In order to create a contrast, I add some "grungy-spatter-bits" that I tinted darker.

I used a piece of the 'luggage' chipboard.

    I used embossing powder to embellish it and personalized it with embellishments from the paper collection. I love how it turned out. It's what makes scrapbooking so magical. In the background of the title, I add a chipboard "circle-arrow-journal-spots".  To make it more obvious, I place a 'laser-cut' element in the center. I choose to leave the title covered with a single layer of white gesso, simply.

    On each photo, I added a phrase with the "mini-title-stick-set-6" chipboard, which I also embellished with embossing powder. For an extra touch of fun, I added white embossing powder. The first piece I glued to the center of the plain paper was the "world-globe" chipboard. I used a wide range of colors to achieve a result that suited me!!!

        A close-up showing the chipboards I used. 

As always, I loved the transformation of each chipboard.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

I constructed the front of the album by adding the Corner Swirly Heart chippie to the left.  I added paper blooms to the top and bottom of the front cover of the album and then tucked in the Lattice Leave chippies.  I then added the Todays Moments, Tomorrows Memories chippie.  For the inside cover I added the Ingrid's Frame chippie with some Uniquely Creative Beautiful Oasis Die Cuts.  Each of the pages of the Album were created with photos and using an assortment of the Lattice Mini Bit chippies, paper blooms and Uniquely Creative Beautiful Oasis Die Cuts.
