Explore Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to share my second layout of June. 

For this project, I chose a precious photo of my grandson Milan wearing his adorable little aviator helmet. I absolutely love his curious expression, and it immediately inspired the soft vintage atmosphere of this page.

"Explore"

The chipboard used:

mini-word-set-4

12-x-12-clock-face-frames

steampunk-lightbulbs

love-you-balloons

steampunk-gears-small

mini-number-panels

grungy-splatters-bits

For this project, I used the beautiful Faded Memory Lane collection from 49 and Market. The soft vintage tones of the collection were perfect for highlighting this precious memory.

Before decorating my chipboards, I applied a coat of white gesso to all the pieces. Once dry, I coloured them using Distress Oxide inks in soft brown, beige and muted blue-grey shades to coordinate with the collection and subtly echo the aviator theme of the photo.

For the Clock Face Frame, I used Antique Linen, Stormy Sky and a touch of Vintage Photo to create a soft aged effect. I love how this large frame naturally draws attention to the photo and creates a beautiful focal point. The Steampunk Gears Small were coloured using Stormy Sky and Vintage Photo. These shades enhance the mechanical details while blending perfectly with the soft palette of the layout. The Love You Balloons were coloured with Antique Linen, Tattered Rose and Frayed Burlap. These soft tones complement the romantic feel of the layout and balance the industrial elements beautifully.

To finish my focal cluster, I added the word Explore from the Mini Word Set 4. It was the perfect choice to complement Milan's little aviator outfit and curious expression.

For this section of the layout, I combined the Grungy Splatters Bits with the Mini Number Panels to add texture and dimension to the design. Both chipboards were coloured using Stormy Sky, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide inks, creating a soft aged finish that blends beautifully with the vintage tones of the collection.

I love how the Grungy Splatters Bits add a subtle mixed media effect, while the Mini Number Panels bring extra detail and help reinforce the vintage feel of the page.

I used the Steampunk Lightbulbs to add visual interest to the upper section of the page. They were coloured with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to create a warm vintage finish.

I love how the combination of these chipboards adds texture, dimension and character to the layout while perfectly complementing the soft vintage feel of the collection.

See you again soon for another 2Crafty Chipboard creation!

'Dreamer' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!

It's Lisa here today to share a layout, featuring my daughter.

 2Crafty products used:

 'Mini Flourish Bits'

'Photo Adornment Element Set 1'

'Bulldog Clip Set'

'Foliage Set 11'

 

 

For this layout, I used one of the 'Photo Adornment Element Set 1'. I left my chipboard raw
for this project, and layered with a sentiment. 

I also used two of the foliage pieces from the 'Foliage Set 11', also raw, and tucked 
in among my florals.

 

I also used one of the flourishes from the  'Mini Flourish Bits', tucked into the corner 

 of my photo stack.

Above my photo I used one of the 'Bulldog Clips', tucked into my paper layers.

 I was debating finishing my chipboard white for this layout,but I am glad that I opted for the raw finish.

I love the warmth of it with the pinks. 

I hope that you like it too!

Until next time,

 Lisa

Cherish by Tania Ridgwell

   Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the second of my DT projects for June. 
  I have created a layout for my second share.

"Cherish"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*10" Decorative Panel - Doily 1

*Cherish - Loopy Font

*Foliage Set 18

I have used the beautiful 49 & Market 'From the Garden' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I first painted all my chippie pieces with a white Posca Paint Pen.  Once dry I sprayed some Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Mist onto the Foliage and Cherish Title chippies.  I left the Doily Panel chippie white.

I added the doily chippie to the top left of my page and then added my photo.  I embellished around my photo with lots of paper blooms and leaves.  I tucked in the foliage chippies amongst the paper blooms and finished off my page by adding the Cherish Title chippie along the bottom right.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

today by Robin Schelin

Hi everyone, hope you are well and busy creating beautiful projects with our favorite 2Crafty goodness!.

I'm sharing a layout with a photo I've used before. Sometimes when you get a new paper collection, photos you've used in the past work so well that you have to use them again for a new perspective. That's how this layout came about. 

 today

2Crafty Chipboard I used:

Foliage Set 11

Aged Filmstrips

today Loopy Font

As always, I coated all the chipboard pieces with Gesso before altering.

On the left side of the photo, I placed one of the foliage pieces from the Foliage Set 11 underneath the flowers. I painted it with Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint. 

Here is another foliage piece from the Foliage Set 11 on the right of the photo to balance with the left side. This was also painted with Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint.

I painted one of the Aged Filmstrips with a mix of White and Parchment Acrylic Paint, and then added in a little bit of English Lavender Chalk Paint. I placed one on top of the laser cut filmstrip at the top of the photo.

I added in another one of the Aged Filmstrips underneath the bottom of the photo along with another foliage piece from the Foliage Set 11.

The title, today, was painted with Raw Umber Acrylic Paint to complement the foliage pieces around the photo. 

I don't know why these enlarged images are blurry, they aren't blurry in my phone. ???? Oh well, you can make out enough of it to get the idea.

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look at my layout. I hope this has inspired you. I'll be back later on in the month with another layout featuring fabulous 2Crafty Chipboard.

A Beautiful Moment With You - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!!!
Laura back today to share a layout I created of my husband and I!

2Crafty products used:

Photo Adornment - Flourish Set 3
Thin Square Stacked Fames
A Beautiful Moment With You
Loopy Heart Swirl

After prepping my paper then applying a stencil and colorants I also prepped my chipboard pieces

I absolutely adore this flourish set!

I added the heart clump on top of the flower cluster!

For the title piece I wanted it to stand out a little more so I used clear embossing powder over the distress ink!

Thanks so much for stopping by

Pure Happiness By Charmane Sharp

 

My girls bring me Pure Happiness every day. I am so lucky to be loved by

them. On this day they enjoyed running around the park together. This layout

was created with Beneath the Brambles by Lou Collins for Arden Studios.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Floral Stem Silhouette set

Frame Oval Ornate

11' Round Flourish Frame

Title- Pure Happiness

I chose to use the Floral Stem Silhouettes as I knew they would look lovely

 with a pop of Purple colour. I painted the centre of the flower with Distress Paint

 Wilted Violet and then added Shaded Lilac to the petals.I mixed some Picket

 Fence with Shaded Lilac for a lighter edge on the petals. The Stems were painted

with Mowed Lawn with a little dot of black mixed in so as not too bright.

A little hard to photograph the Shimmer on the Ornate Oval Frame.

In real life it looks stunning as I painted it with Distress Bundled Sage

and then sprayed it with a Shimmer Spritz. The result is beautiful.

Such an accurate title for this layout. Pure Happiness was painted with

Finnabair Iris Potion Sparks paint. 

Framing my layout with the 11' Round Flourish Frame draws the eye

into the creativity and adds a touch of glamour with its embossed finish.

I sprayed the Shimmer Spray over the Gesso and then added Clear 

Embossing Powder with a sprinkling of fine Gold Powder. This gave a

unique look which didn't overtake the layout but adds lovely detail.

A Scrapbook Collection can have diets and beautiful papers, but adding chipboard

 to it just seems to elevate each layout. Don't you agree? Especially with the

 enormous amount to choose from with 2Crafty Chipboard.

Until next time...

Favourite Memory by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania popping in today to share the first of my DT projects for June. 
 I have created a layout. 

"Favourite Memory"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Paws and Heart Set

*Little Pawprint Strip

*Thin Rectangle Stacked Frames

*Fine Word Set 1

I have used the gorgeous Unmistakable Creations 'Denim & Lace' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I first painted all the chippie pieces with a white Posca Paint Pen.  Once dry I sprayed the Forever (from the Fine Word Set), Rectangle Stacked Frame and Heart chippies (Paws and Heart Set) with Heidi Swapp Navy Color Shine Mist.

To construct my page I added the Rectangle Stacked Frame chippie around my photo and then added it to my base page.  I added lots of paper blooms around my photo.  I cut the Little Pawprint Strip chippie into pieces and tucked the pieces in amongst all the blooms.  I also tucked the Paw Print chippies from the Paws and Heart Set into the paper blooms.  I added the Hearts chippies from the Paws and Heart Set randomly around my page.  To finish off my page I added the Forever chippie across the bottom right of my photo.

That's all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 
 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
