Journey By Charmane Sharp

So many beautiful views along the Amalfi Coast while on our boat tour.

The colours in this photo suited this range perfectly. The European

terracottas and creams take me back there.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Leafy Shrub set 1 x2

Lacey Border set 1

6’ Mandala No.1

Adding in the Leafy Shrub pieces adds to the colour palette with its

lovely swirls highlighted with a pale apricot embossing powder.

I wanted to added some lace details to my clusters also giving length from

 them. The Lacey Borders piece was cut into 5 Lengths and heat embossed

 in White for contrast. Tucking them in amongst the flowers adds softness.

Love the design of the Mandala. I cut it in half to save for another layout

and embossed with an Apricot powder but it was too dark, so I sprinkled

 White on top and it gave a subtle finish that I was happy with.

A second piece of the Leafy Shrub set for uniformity on the layout.

I love this memory and I hope you have a wonderful memory too,

that you can take an idea from my layout to create with. Thanks for

stopping by to take a look at my creativity.

Until next time...

'Making Memories' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share my latest creation,
 using some gorgeous chipboard pieces. 

'Making Memories Everyday'

 2Crafty products used:

 'Delicate Lace Border'

'Filmstrips Tiny'

'Mini Cameras'

'Making Memories Everyday Title'

'Travel Icon Set'

For this layout, I was going to colour my chipboard in white, 
but I loved how the raw colour of the chipboard
 went with the feel and colours of my papers. 

I used one of the 'Delicate Lace Border' pieces, 
which I have cut to the size of my photos. 
I have tucked it under the scalloped edges of one of my die-cut paper pieces.

I also used a ticket from the 'Travel Icon Set',
tucked into my floral elements.  

I also used one of the cameras from the 'Mini Cameras',
tucked on the other side of my page.  

For my title, I used the 'Making Memories Everyday' title,
which I have adhered to the right side of my page. 

I also used some of the 'Filmstrips Tiny',
layered with a passport from the 'Travel Icon Set', 
and some floral elements. 

 

 

I really love the added warmth of the raw chipboard, 
as this could have turned out quite cold on the black background.  

 

I really hope that you like what I created.
 

Until next time,

 

Lisa

I am back today to share another masculine mixed media layout

2Crafty Products used:

Banners Flags
Chevron Bits

After prepping the chipboard with white gesso I applied rangers distress mica stain in

I allowed it to dry naturally then layered Dylusions Black and Ranger Distress Stain in
Lost Shadow and also allowed to dry naturally. 
 When completely dry I applied some Ranger vintage photo distress ink over it and black ink to the edges.

I used the same Vintage Photo ink on the title!

Love You by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

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

"Love ❤️ You"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Love You

*Feather Outline Set

*12 x 12 Weathered Clock Face Frames

*Oversized Flower Stem Set 1

*6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4

I have used the beautiful Uniquely Creative 'Whisper's of Wisdom' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I coloured the medium sized Weathered Clock Face Frame & Oversized Flower Stem chippies with Lilac Rose Opal Polish and once dry I randomly dabbed on some gesso to tone done the colour.  The Feather Outline, Love You & Love You Long Time (from 6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4) Title chippies have been painted with a couple of coats of gesso.

I placed the Weathered Clock Face Frame chippie and my photo on my background page first.  I then added the Oversized Flower Stem & Feather Outline chippies along the bottom of my photo.  I embellished my page with lots of paper blooms and coordinating creative cuts.  I added the Love You chippie Title along the bottom and the Love You Long Time chippie across the top 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.

“Pure Happiness”Mixed Media LayoutBy Di Garling

 Hello there, Di Garling here with you on the blog today
with another layout I have created using some fabulous pieces of my favourite
2Crafty chipboard.

I am releasing this layout as a KIT

2Crafty Chipboard Used...
"Pure Happiness" title
Corner "Hannah"
Dandelions

After firstly doing some fun mixed media on my

background, & some coloured stencilling etc I then set to work

with everything else.

I just love this new release chipboard title,

"Pure Happiness". 💘 Just says it all !!

All of the chipboard on this layout was simply coloured

with black acrylic paint!!! Doesn't get much easier than that.

Just the one coat of paint on all the pieces. It just goes to show

that sometimes the simple way is best & besides, with all the

bright colours on this layout, I felt the black would be a real

standout and be a great contrast too.

You can see in the photo above I have also added some of the
chipboard "Dandelions" to my flower cluster. I do love these.

 Lastly I have added one of the "Hannah's Corners" to the bottom left

corner of my layout & have added a few flowers to compliment it.

If you would like to see some more of my work etc

you can pop over to my blog….

Until next time

"Love" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a new layout created in a soft and romantic atmosphere, perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day!

The photos featured are of my son and daughter-in-law, taken almost two years ago. I chose these images for their softness and emotion, perfectly matching the Valentine’s theme and celebration of love.

"Love"

The chipboard used:

photo-adornments-love-flourish

6x4-phrase-stick-set-4

foliage-set-10

sharons-butterflies

mini-lattice-bits

    

For this project, I wanted to highlight the chipboards by giving them an elegant and subtle finish without too much shine. I first applied a thin coat of white gesso to all the chipboards to unify the surface and soften the texture. The “Love Flourish” piece was enhanced with metallic wax in Old Silver, applied lightly with my finger over the raised areas to create a luminous, textured yet refined effect.

The “Mini Lattice Bits” and the phrase from the “6x4 Phrase Stick Set 4” help structure the composition and reinforce the romantic message of the page.

The “Sharon’s Butterflies” were enhanced with a very delicate application of White Gold, applied only on the raised areas. This subtle touch allows them to softly catch the light without creating excessive shine, preserving the gentle feel of the layout.

The foliage from “Foliage Set 10” was initially colored with Lucky Emerald, adding a subtle natural touch to the composition. To soften the intensity of the green and maintain a delicate harmony throughout the layout, I layered a light touch of Old Silver over the raised details. This technique tones down the green while adding a refined finish.

For the papers, I selected soft neutral tones blending off-white, gentle greys, and touches of sage green. The floral patterns and slightly distressed textures enhance the timeless and elegant atmosphere.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

        

"Todays Moments, Tomorrow's Memories"Framed Scrapbook LayoutBy Di Garling

 Hello there, Di Garling here with you on the blog today

with another layout I have created using some fabulous pieces of my favourite

2Crafty chipboard.

For this layout I have used this gorgeous photo of my Goddaughters children from when

they had a family photo shoot done & I decided I would pop it in a frame & give it
to her as a gift.  You can pick these frames up for under $20 from Kmart !!!

For this layout I wanted to achieve a nice earthy theme. 

I printed the photo out in black & white so it would match this theme nicely.
Perfect for a family photo shoot photo.

A few close ups.

2Crafty Chipboard Used...

12" Chain Border Lengths

6"x 4" Word Phrases

Chunky Dandelions

In the photo above you can see I have used is one on the fabulous "Word Phrases"

from one of the many "Word Phrase Sets". These are a great way to easily 

add a title. I simply inked the edges with some Distress Ink. Too easy !

 

In this photo, you can see where I have also cut up some of the

"12" Chain Lengths"

& added a couple of pieces to both the top & bottom of my layout. Doing this just

adds to my composition. I painted them with some metallic acrylic paints.

In the photo above, I have used some of these gorgeous

little "Chunky Dandelion" pieces in with my flower clusters.

After a coat of white gesso these were coloured up with some navy

acrylic paint & I have also pulled up some of the petals to create
some extra dimension too.

Well that is all from me today. 

I hope I have inspired you in some small way.

Until next time....
