"Merry Christmas" Canvas and Video by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

As always I am happy to see you again to share my new inspiration for this month of November.

My project is a canvas measuring 30 cm by 21 cm.

My granddaughter wanted a new Christmas decoration for her room using this photo we spotted on Pinterest.

Featuring this beautiful "Santa's Coming to Town Set" chipboard set

. He is sublime.

"Merry Christmas" 

I made a video that you can watch HERE

The chipboard used:

- Card-Merry Xmas Words

-Santa's Coming to Town Set

- Crystal Snowflakes

I choose to highlight the chipboards using white acrylic paint. 

To emphasize the details, I then use gold acrylic paint. 

I love the effect obtained. 

I didn't add much more embellishment, I think this strip is so perfect.

      I use the same technique to decorate Santa's sleigh and "Chrystal Snowflakes". 

I add glitter to bring even more sparkle.

Watching the video is a good way to get more details.

I hope you like it.

See you soon!

Marie

        

'It's Time to Bloom' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some
bright spring inspiration with you.

'Time to Bloom'

2Crafty Products used:

Rosa Frame

Tree with Sparrow

Time to Bloom Title

 

 

For this layout, I used the 'Rosa Frame',

which I have embossed in white, 
and used upside down to have the flower at the bottom.

 

 

I also used the 'Tree with Sparrows' piece,
but without the sparrows :)

I have given it a blue and green watercolour finish
to match my foliage from the papers.

 

 

I then used the 'It's Time to Bloom' title,
which I have also finish in the same watercolour finish.

I hope that you like what I have created,
I love the bright sunny feel to it.

Until next time!

Enjoy Every Moment Wall Art by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share my second project for November.
  I have altered a wooden Wall Art project for my second share.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Floral Cluster Set 1

*Enjoy Every Moment Title

*Leafy Shrub Set 1

To create my Wall Art I covered all the panels in beautiful Stamperia Paper.  I gave the Leafy Shrub & Enjoy Every Moment Title Chippies a spray of Citron Color Shine and once dry I randomly sponged on some Golden Glow Opal Polish.  The Floral Cluster Chippies have been coloured with Golden Flamingo Opal Polish.

I added my frame photo.  I then decorated the Wall Art with lots of paper blooms.  I tucked in the Leafy Shrub & Floral Cluster Chippies amongst the paper blooms.

I added the Enjoy Every Moment Chippie Title and finished off my Wall Art by randomly adding some Art Stones around the paper blooms.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my altered Wall Art project.  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

It's the Little Things by Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone, so glad you stopped by. 

Today I am sharing a layout about appreciating the simple things. I mean, who doesn't love a
basket of apples! Delicious!

"It's the Little Things"

2Crafty goodness I used:

Addy's Butterflies

It's the Little Things

Morrocan

As always, prime the chipboard first.

I cut the Moroccan piece in half. I used half at the top and half at the bottom of the photo stack. I painted them with a mix of Cadmium Red Light Hue, Primary Red and Gold Acrylic Paint. I wanted to draw out the color of the apples in the photo, and the apples on either side of the photo. I thought it needed some red accents to pop against al that green!

I painted one of the Addy's Butterflies the same red as the Morrocan piece. Again, just to add another pop of red. I outlined the butterfly on a piece of yellow Paper, cut it out and glued it to the back so it stood out more and didn't get lost up in that corner.

On the bottom here, is the other half of the Morrocan piece. I placed it here on the bottom to balance it out with the top.

The title It's the Little Things, was first painted with Tin Pewter Acrylic Paint. I then went over it with White Gesso to match the little girl's blouse. I'm all about trying to match the colors on the layout with the colors in the photo. 

And there it is, a little layout about the little things in life. Hope you like it and are inspired to draw your colors from your fabulous photos!

Until next time xxx

2Crafty Chipboard Used....

"Christmas Memories" - title

Holly Branch

ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

Mini Word Stick-Christmas Set #1

In the photo above you can see I have used the title

"Christmas Memories". 2Crafty has sooooo many titles to choose from.

I simply painted this with red acrylic paint. Too easy.

I have also used a few of the starts from the
"ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars" pack. I coloured
these with some gold acrylic paint.

 

Next up I used a word stick, "Tis the Season" which is

from the "Christmas Word Stick Set #1".

I just gave it a really light wipe over with a tiny bit of gold ink.

In the photo above you can see I have also used one of the

"Holly Branches" which I have also coloured up to match

with some gold coloured acrylic paint. I then cut it in half

& I have put a piece in my two bottom clusters. 

Well I hope you liked my layout today.

I am releasing this layout as a KIT.

"Christmas Cards" with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day, for today I have two Christmas cards to share with you and I used some of the amazing chipboard pieces 2Crafty Chipboard offers.
 Enjoy this post.....

Card 1: December 2024  

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
 Berry Vine Set
Card Xmas Baubles
Fine Word Set ~ Months
2024's

I just love making cards that are non traditional in colors so that is what I did here. For this card I altered the "Berry Vine Set" with spray paint without adding gesso first and then I added some lighter green acrylic paint with a sponge.

On the "Card Xmas Baubles" I added some black embossing powder on the hanging part but you can't see that anymore because I added flowers on top of that. But on the baubles I added some Christmas balls from the collage ephemera book {Christmas Fairies} 

That cute little fairy is also from that book, the word december & 2024 are treated with embossing powders both two layers and one n a two tone style. 

Card 2: Christmas Memories

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Dangling Merry Christmas Sign
Cherished Family Memories
Circle Dot Frames
Merry Christma Fine Card Pack

The "Circle Dot Frame" is treated with two layers of embossing powder in a green color. 

For this card I did use the traditional colors which is also fun to do....

For the dangling part from the "Merry Christmas Sign" I treated that one with a ink pad after I first added two layers of white gesso. I also did that with the word Christmas. The word memories is cut apart from the phrase "cherished family memories" and is treated with green metallique wax. 

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....

Amy's Pretty Papers

Beautiful Vibes By Charmane Sharp

 

We ate at this lovely courtyard restaurant on Naxos Island that had these

lampshades hanging above us. I thought they were a beautiful addition to

the atmosphere of this relaxing restaurant which served the most delicious

food, We enjoyed a few meals here as everything was made with love.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Chloe's Vines

Lacey Border set 1

Mini Title Stick set 3

Mini Title Stick set 4

Mini Scissor set

The ornate Mini Scissors look gorgeous with White Gold wax rubbed over

them sitting on the edge of my flowers. Chloe's Vine piece adds a pop of

colour extending from the cluster with Indian Pink wax coating it.

I decided to cut two of the Mini Title Sticks up to make a unique title.

Rubbing Sweet Rose wax over the top of the words leaves the Gesso

to highlight the inside of the letters. They then stand out because they

were place on top of another piece of Chloe's Vine in Indian Pink.

The Lacey Border adds some interest on the side of my layout and was

rubbed with Vintage Gold wax and a little White Gold wax was rubbed

over the top randomly.

This layout was about tearing my papers as I hadn't done that in a little while.

Lots of fussy cutting to create layers and die cuts added. These create a

softness against the chipboard pieces with their bolder colour transformation.

Until next time...
