Happiness is this Moment by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for January. 

 I have created a layout. 

"Happiness is this Moment"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Large Berry Stem

*Happiness is this Moment Title

*12" Parisian Border

*Amelia's Frames

I have used the gorgeous 49 & Market 'Moonlit Garden' Collection to create the base for my layout. 

I first gave all the chippies a light coat of Golden Glow Opal Polish.  Once dry I dabbed on Summer Sky Opal Polish and Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Spray to the Parisian Border chippie.  I did the same to the Amelia's Frame chippies but used the Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Spray only.  I gave the Happiness is this Moment Title chippie a light spray of the Color Shine Spray also.

I added a paper doily and some torn paper layers under my photo.  I used the Amelia's frames chippies around my photo and added lots of paper blooms.  I cut up the Parisian Border chippie and tucked in pieces amongst the paper layers.  I did the same with the Large Berry Stem chippie and tucked pieces into the paper blooms.  To finish of my layout I cut the "Happiness" from the chippie title and added this above my photo and the remainder "Is this Moment" from the title I added along the bottom of the flowers.

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

"Love Forever Happiness" layout by Amy Voorthuis

Well hello fellow crafters, 

I am very glad you are visiting the blog today, here you can find a lot of inspiration from my fellow DT members who are a huge inspiration to me as well. I just love creating with 2Crafty Chipboard pieces & I love creating with as much of them as possible. So for this layout I went all feminine with a couple of my favorite colors & eight different chippies, enjoy my post! Oh and I used a picture of my husband & daughter last summer in Greece....

Love Forever Happiness: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Window Shutter Set 4
Line Words - Happiness
Leafy Shrub Set 1
6x6 Clock Face Frames
Amelia's Frames 
Mini Word Set 2
Squiggly Circle Arrow Journal Spots
Fine Word Set 1

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

I prepaired all my chipboard pieces with white gesso as I normally do but for all of the chippies I used a different technique let me explain. For the pretty window shutters I used some rustic paint {white sand} which has a sand like structure and applying it is very easy. After that I added some colors with a matte finish and some white wax. 

The clock face frame & amelia frame atre both firstly sprayed with spray paint and then I added some acrylic paint & three different color waxes. 

The words I embossed with different colors and the word "Happiness" I two toned it so it give it more demension. I also embossed the "squiggly circle arrow journal spots" with some pink embossing powder. 

And for the leafy shrub set I used some spray paint and two different acrylic paints and later on I added some wax. I also did a lot of fussy cutting forthis layout now I know why I love doing that it relaxes the mind haha..

  Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like

Sanctuary - By Emma Zappone

 Hi 2crafty friends.
Today I share a nature inspired layout.

And these are the amazing chippy pieces used...

Barb Wire
Amelias Frames
Mini Travel words 1

I love how this page took form. Not my usual style to start off with, using modelling paste adding colour..etc....but rather using a stencil and adding oxide ink through it on a white cardstock base.

This gave a great earthy feel which was exactly what I was after. Then I added some rub ons and some stamping. This was the base complete. Within my composition I added the amazing chipboard pieces. 

Wanting to keep the warm earthy tones I was going to keep the chippy raw, I decided against it and added a light tint from some oxides instead.

The mini word I chose for this project is Sanctuary.
It really spoke to me and suited the image I chose.
We all need to go back to nature and breathe the fresh air.

And the last piece of chippy added was the barb wire. I chose this chipboard as a focus on what mankind has done to slowly ruin our forests and our nature. Slowly though, I believe this earth will grow back to the beauty it always was.

I hope that you have been inspired today and I look forward to seeing you next month.

Stay crafty, Em xx

 

Adore by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty fans!

Today I'm revealing a layout I made as a guest designer for CSI challenge.
 To solve challenge case file #328, I used the proposed color chart, some stripes, circles,
 a summer theme, butterflies, circular elements, and some flairs.

"Adore"

For the "Charlotte Flowers", in the top-left, I simply decided to leave them at their natural chipboard color. On the "Amelia Frame", I applied a diluted teal paint and rubbed some gold wax on top.

For the "Lattice Leaves", I applied a green shimmering paint. On the "Chunky Dandelion" 

at the top-left, applied some green-ivory embossing enamel.

For the "Dotted Doily Frame" behind the picture, I applied a glossy lime-green paint then 

dabbed some teal embossing ink on top. For the title, "Adore", part of the "Fine Words Set 1",

 I used a teal embossing powder.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Lattice leaves [m00589]

Dotted Doily Frame [fr0134]

Charlotte Flowers [m00852]

Chunky Dandelion [m00853]

Amelia Frame [fr0133]

Fine Words Set 1 [m00656]

That's all for me today! I hope my layout gave you some ideas for your own creations!

 I'll be back in a few more weeks with more ideas to share with you guys. 

Until then, happy crafting!

Take Me With You - By Emma Zappone plus VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hello, Emma here, thank you for joining me today for an end of month share.

Today's  share is a layout that for me feels pretty, and that I really enjoyed creating.

Here are the awesome 2Crafty chipboard pieces I used:

Fancy Set 2 Borders
Clock Face Discs
Fancy Clock Hand Set 2
Amelia Frames
Foliage set 7

If you follow me you know that I like to keep my finishes of the chipboard fairly simple,

and so, this page is no different.

With this layout I decided to paint all my chipboard with Black Gesso first.

Then I chose a selection of Prima waxes for colour and to compliment the papers.

I think my favorite piece of chipboard has to be the Clock faces.

 I used two on this layout, but cut the bigger one to make it look like three.

The hits of metallic wax really sets the chipboard apart from the other elements on the page.

I have created a video for this layout that you can all enjoy here

Thank you for joining me and I look forward to sharing with you all again soon.

Em xx
