Puppy Love By Charmane Sharp

 

I decided to start the year scrapbooking with older collections to use up

what I have already purchased. So by adding some 2Crafty Chipboard to

this older collection it gives it new life. This memory was when we introduced

 Maggie to the beach. She absolutely loved it and swam with joy, her sisters by

her side.

2Crafty Chipboard used...

Photo Adornment - Flourish set 5

Mini Branches

Title- Puppy Love

Moroccan Bits

After all the chipboard was Gessoed. I applied Distress Oxides to the

pieces and heat dried. Finished them with a dry brush of Gesso to add

texture and definition to each piece.

I kept the Moroccan Bits in their Gesso state so the paper below

shines through.

The Flourish adornments add a feminine feel and break up the foliage

and flowers. By using Lilac on them they pop off the Green Leaves below.

Perfect title makes a layout and this one is no exception. Creating a light

ombre keeps it subtle and dry brushing the Gesso over brings it all together.

Distress Oxides and Gesso are easy to apply and create beautiful effects.

So pull out those older collections and try adding some 2Crafty Chipboard

and give them a new look.

Until next time...

'Beautiful Day' >br> with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy inspiration with you.
I have created a layout featuring my daughter. 

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 'Foliage Set 10'
'Foliage Set 15'

'Field Mushrooms' 

 

 

For this layout, I used one of the 'Foliage Set 10' pieces,

which I finished in an olive green,
 and added to my berry cluster at the corner of my photo.

 

 

I also used the 'Field Mushrooms',

which I left mostly raw but highlighted the spots
 and stems to match my papers.
I also finished the grass in the olive green. 
I love the natural woodland feel to this.  

I also used one of the 'Foliage Set 15',
which I also finished the stems in olive green,
 and the berries in red.  

 

 

I really love this layout, I like the nature-inspired feel to this one,
 and how well these chipboard pieces suit my papers. 

 

I hope that you like it too!

Until next time,

 

Lisa 

 

"memories" Layout and video by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I’m always so happy to share a new project with you!

Today I’m sharing a brand new scrapbook layout, and I also created a video tutorial to
 show you the full process.
This page features beautiful chipboards, especially the “pointed-doily-frames”, which I find
 incredibly romantic and perfect to highlight newborn photos.

The pictures are recent and show my grandson Milan, just a few days after his birth, with his mom.

"memories"

I made a video tutorial that you can watch HERE.

The chipboard used: 

line-words-good-times

pointed-doily-frames

dainty-foilage-stems

As always, I start by applying a layer of white gesso to my background. This helps prepare
 the surface and gives a softer finish once the inks are added.

To embellish my chipboards, I used Distress Oxide inks, applying them in light layers to
 keep a natural and vintage look.

For the “pointed-doily-frames”, I started with Antique Linen as a base color over the entire frame.

Then I added Frayed Burlap on both the inside and outside edges to create depth and bring out the details.

Finally, I added a few touches of Vintage Photo in some areas, mainly in the raised parts and small details, to add contrast while keeping a soft romantic finish.

For the “dainty-foliage” chipboards, I also used Distress Oxides, keeping the colors light and delicate: Antique Linenfirst, then small touches of Victorian Velvet and Rustic Wilderness to create subtle tones that match the paper collection beautifully.

When it came to the design, I first positioned my photos to create a balanced composition.

I used three frames to build a triangle visual design:

the main photo in the large frame at the top as the focal point,

a smaller frame at the bottom left,

and a larger frame at the bottom right.

This arrangement helps guide the eye across the entire page.

To add dimension, I glued some elements flat and raised others with 3D foam tape, creating layers and depth. I tucked the foliage and paper embellishments underneath the main frame, mostly on the left side, to fill the space while keeping the layout light and airy.

The word “memories” was inked the same way as the frames, using the same colors to keep everything cohesive. I love how beautiful it looks and how perfectly it highlights the emotion of this layout. I placed it in a way that connects the top frame to the bottom frames, reinforcing the overall structure of the page. To finish, I added a few small details like butterflies and shiny accents to bring a soft final touch.

This layout is created with the gorgeous 49 and Market – “Nostalgic Memories” paper
collection, which I absolutely love for its vintage feel and soft colors.

If you’d like to see how this layout was created, I invite you to watch the video tutorial.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the project!

          

Her Smile by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Just popping in to share a bonus DT project for January.  I have created another Layout.

"Her Smile"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Her Smile

*2025's

*Floral Cluster Set 1

*Annie's Butterfly Flourish Page Border

I have used the gorgeous 49 & Market 'Echoes of Time' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I have coloured the Floral Cluster, 2025 & Annie's Butterfly Flourish Page Border chippies with Dina Wakley Magenta Gloss Spray and Gesso to give it a two tone look.  I have coloured the Her Smile Title chippie with a White Posca Paint Pen.

I added some paper layers under my photo and then tucked in some coordinating Die Cuts from the Echoes of Time Collection.  I added the Annie's Butterfly with the Flourish along the bottom of my photo, added paper blooms and tucked in the Floral Cluster chippies.  I finished off my page by adding the Her Smile Title chippie to the top right of my photo.

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

"Memories Bloom In Every Snapshot" - title
Flourish from "Flourish Adornment Set #5"

Gears

Formal Flourish Set #4

I have used one of the NEW RELEASE titles that

2Crafty released this week. There are lots & lots to choose

from but I thought this title was just perfect for these photos.

In the photo above, at the right side of the page, you 

can see where I have tucked in a piece of the 

“Flourish Adornment Set #5”.

All of the chipboard pieces were just given a

light coat of a metallic bronze paint.Too easy.

Underneath the flower cluster on the left, I popped in a piece

of chipboard from the  "Formal Flourish Set #5”.

I just thinking adding a little chipboard piece in here 

& there around the layout really is the icing on the cake !!

I have also popped a few on the little chipboard "Gears" around

the page, I painted them black & then finished them off with a

 sponging of metallic paint to make them look like metal.

Another great way to add accessories to a layout!!

I was super happy how this layout turned out and I just 

love these colours too which were perfect for my photos.

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

you can pop over to my blog….
