"JOLLY" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration for this month of December.

A Christmas-themed layout embellished with superb chipboards, including this magnificent Christmas tree so well made. With photos of my grandchildren from last Christmas in the middle of unboxing gifts. 

"JOLLY"

The chipboard used:

tis-the-season-shape-tree

curly-christmas-light-borders

bush-nut-floral-clusters

Initially, not knowing which color to choose to decorate the chipboards, I applied a first layer of white gesso.

Finally, I decided to use black because it matched better the background paper decoration.

I had some fears that the result would be too dark, but after trying, I liked the result.

For this, I used the Distress Oxide ink "black soot". I pressed the words while I opted for a lighter application on the branches.

On the chipboard "curly-christmas-light-borders" I use the bulbs to add enamel dots.  

I love the movement of this border of light. 

I add "bush-nut-floral-clusters" to complete the cluster of embellishments.

To decorate them, I used a stamp adorned with round patterns in order not to completely cover them.

I hope you liked this layout.

Your visit is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Marie

       

"A Daughter is a Little Girl" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends,
I am so happy you stopped by the blog today, For today I have another layout to share with you, this time right up my alley a overload of pinks & a touch of teal/aqua. Those are my absolute favorite colors to scrap but who am I kidding lots of colors are. The picture I used is one of Abbey that I used once before for another project with 2Crafty Chipboard. Enjoy my post..

A Daughter is a Little Girl: 

Amazing 2 Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Bush Nut Floral Clusters
Page Tab Set
Victoria's Large Flourish
Mini Title Stick Set 4
A Daughter Friend Title
Delicate Butterflies
Hand-Drawn Flowers
Squiggly Circle Arrow Journal Spots

I did some fussy cutting for this layout and the chipboard pieces are treated with some white gesso. I used different colors of alcohol markers & and a text stamp on the pretty swirl that I cut up and tucked in my flower clusters.

Behind the pretty handdrawn flower & the arrow journal spot I added some of the light coloured text paper that is also in the top left corner of my layout. I cut the phrase apart and used on two spots on my layout. Loved making this layout!!

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

Floral Plaid Christmas Cardsby Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for November. 
 I have created a set of Christmas Cards. 

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Fernlike Snowflakes

*Bush Nut Floral Clusters

*Mixed Fine Border Set

*Foliage Set 7

I created each of my card bases using the beautiful Paper Rose Christmas Plaid Collection.  I used Gold Leaf Paint to colour the Fernlike Snowflakes and Foliage Set 7 chippies pieces and once dry I added some Art Alchemy Red Paint to the Snowflake centres.  I used Art Alchemy Red Paint to colour the Bush Nuts & Mixed Fine Border chippies.  Once the Border & Bush Nut chippies were dry I randomly dabbed on some of the Gold leaf paint over them.  To construct each of the cards I added the Fernlike Snowflakes to each and then embellished them with fussy cut flowers and paper blooms.  I cut up one of the Borders, Bush Nuts & Foliage Set 7 chippies and tucked pieces into the fussy cut elements and blooms on each of the cards. I finished off each card with a Gold Foil Christmas Sentiment,

See each card below.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Christmas Cards. 

 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
