'Merry Little Christmas Cards' with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some Christmas cards that I have created. 
I have used some of the gorgeous Christmas design chipboard available. 

2Crafty products used:

For my first card, I used one of the 'Wicker Wreaths',

That I first painted in an off-white colour. 

I then used green, red and gold embossing powders

 to emboss the baubles on the wreath. 

I then adhered the HoHoHo from the 'Christmas Mini Word Set 1',

that I embossed in red, onto the wreath.  

For my next card, I used the 'Berry Branch',

that I have embossed in green and red, layered over my papers.

I then used another of the words from the 'Christmas Mini Word Set 1',

which I also embossed in red. 

For my final card, I used one of the 'Brushstroke Trees',

that I have embossed with green distress glaze and a gold star.

I then used one of the 'Merry Christmas Fine Word Pack',
again embossed in red, layered over my tree. 

I really love how these cards look,
I hope that you like them too.

Until next time!

Christmas Time Altered Tree by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share the first of my DT projects for November. 
Last year I created one of these Beyond the Page Wooden Christmas Trees and
enjoyed making it so much I decided I would make another.  

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Ornate Snowflakes

*Holly Twig Branches

*Swirly Holly Set

*Christmas Mini Word Set 1

I kept the Christmas Tree raw and decorated each panel with gorgeous Christmas
 papers from Paper Rose called Christmas Time.

I painted the Ornate Snowflakes, Swirly Holly and Celebrate & Christmas from the Christmas Mini Word Set 1 chippies with Gold Mont Marte Paint. 

 Once dry I randomly dabbed on some Colour Blast Snow White Colour Paste.

I dabbed on a thick coat of Art Alchemy Green Gold paint to the Holly Twig Branches
 and once dry gave them all a light coat of Chopped Pesto Ink Spray. 

I attached my photo to a couple of distressed paper layers in the same paper that I decorated the frame with and then placed it on the tree.

 I cut the large Swirl from the Swirly Holly in half and added one half to the top of my photo and the other to the bottom of my photo.  I then embellished the tree with assorted flowers.

 I tucked the Holly Twig Branches and Ornate Snowflakes randomly into different areas of my flower clusters and to finish I added true snow to the Tree and randomly over the chippies and flowers.

That's all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Altered Christmas Tree.

  

Until next time,

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Santa is Almost here! Christmas Cards with Lisa Amiet

Hello all! 

It's Lisa here today to share some 2Crafty Christmas 

inspiration with you all.

I have created a set of 3 cards. 

2Crafty Chipboard used:

I have kept my cards quite simple as I wanted the chipboard pieces 

to be the highlight of my cards.

For my first card I have used the 'Peace, Love, Joy' piece,

which I have embossed with an aged gold embossing powder.

I find it a bit difficult photographing gold and missing the reflection.

I have also added some stars from the 'ATC Star & Hearts',

also finished in aged gold.

For my second card I have used one of the 'Wire Stars',

that I have finished in white. 

I have then layered the festive piece from the 

'Christmas Mini Word Set 1',

finished in aged gold.

I have also used one of the 'Mini Santa's Sleigh Card Pack',

on the bottom half of my card.

Again finished in the aged gold embossing powder. 

For my final card, I have used one of the 

'Mini Bauble Trees',

which I have embossed in aged gold. 

I have then added some tickles to the baubles,

for some sparkle. 

To finish, I have again used one of the words from the

'Christmas Mini Word Set 1', finished in aged gold.

I hope that my cards have inspired you to create something today,

maybe you are needing some cards for Christmas?

Until next time!

August Layouts by Lilibleu PLUS A VIDEO TUTORIAL

"The Eyes are the Window To the Soul"

Hello  2crafty fans !!

  This is Lilibleu speaking (well, typing !) and today I give to you my two 

creations for August :)

Bonus gift : a video for my second creation !

2 Crafty products used :

Foliage Set 1 

Square Collage Panel

Steampunk Gears Medium

Steampunk Gears Small

The Eyes Title 

I love this title which is, to me, ideal for this photo of my youngest son. 

It perfectly highlights his beautiful eyes  as well as his strong temper.

First, I covered my title with white gesso. Then I sprayed a lot of 

white ink and I immediately added a few drops of green blue ink.

I also wanted to make a metallic texture on this layout with the beautiful 2Crafty chipboards.

I first used a structure paste (crumbly) looking like fake snow 

that I then covered with a gold polish paste.

I used the same method  for this foliage from the Foliage Set #1.

 

"Beauty"

For this second creation, I wanted to use this pretty picture I found on Pinterest. 

 It immediately inspired me to create this blue spring layout.

I made a video for you that you'll find below :)

December Layouts by Debbi Tehrani

"Crazy Santa Hat"

  2Crafty has some fabulous Christmas chipboard pieces,  so I thought I'd make some layouts using photos from past Christmases  to share this December. This is my sister and her family from a couple of years ago  being silly with a crazy Santa hat.  

How wonderful are the "Mini Reindeers." I treated the reindeer with a white 

embossing powder that has silver glitter in it, so it's festive and sparkly. 

I adorned him with a red Zing glitter-embossed star from "ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars" 

and mounted him atop a "Small Filmstrip" inked with black ink.

This lovely script word is from the "Christmas Mini Word Set 1." 

I used the same sparkly embossing powder on this.

The Santa word is also from the "Christmas Mini Word Set 1." 

The word HAT was created with letters from "Alpha Set 1." 

I painted the letters green and then sprinkled a green glitter on them. 

More stars from the "ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars" were treated 

with silver Zing embossing powder and sprinkled about for a magical touch.

  A silver embossed "Funky Snowflake" drew attention to my sister's picture,  which I layered over a waste piece of chipboard from the   "Polaroid Assortment Frames." Saving the outlines is always a bonus.   2Crafty Products used on this layout: Mini Reindeer Christmas Mini Word Set 1 ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars Small Filmstrip Alpha Set 1 Funky Snowflakes Polaroid Assortment Frames

"Pure Joy"

This is my {step}dad who passed away Christmas before last wearing the same Santa Hat. 

I've been making pages for my mom, and I'll give this to her this Christmas.

 There's lots and lots of glitter and shimmer on this page, 

but the camera unfortunately didn't pick up the beautiful sparkle. 

You can see some of the sparkle on my closeups

I decided to use a whole pack of the "Mini Bauble Trees" on my layout. 

I coated them with silver and gold Zing glittery embossing powder. 

The little circles on the branches are perfect for adding jewels or pearls. 

I used white sparkly embossing powder on the "Pure Joy" title.

The frame from the "Polaroid Assortment Frames" was coated in the same 

sparkly white embossing powder, as was the Celebrate from the "Card Word Circles - Sentiments." A gold-glitter embossed "Funky Snowflake" added a little extra something 

to the frame. Finally, I added tiny stars from the "ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars" 

to mimic falling snowflakes. I painted them with white acrylic paint and then brushed them 

with Icicle Stickles, which gave them a lovely iridescent shine to match 

the torn paper snowbanks, which I also coated with the Stickles under the Christmas trees.
