Christmas Gift Boxes by Elena Martynova

Hello everyone! Elena here. 

Today is my last post for 2Crafty. It has been such an amazing 3 years 

creating with such a wonderful product. It was great adventure and 

honor to work in this team :) 

I share with you my last inspirations for 2Crafty.

These are three boxes for Christmas gifts. I used leftover paper from various collections. 

These are mainly collections of 49 and Market and Eco Park.

The main decoration of the first box is a deer with luxurious horns.

I decorated the chipboard Xmas Deer Head with acrylic paints of warm Golden shades

 and  embossing powder . The edges of the chipboard were slightly smeared with white paint

 to create a snow-covered effect.

Between the layers I slipped a frame from set Frames Tiny Funky

You can put a notebook, a book, sweets and many other gifts in the box.

The second box is also decorated with a deer, a frame and a beautiful chip

 with curls Hariet's Border

I drew small spots on the back of the deer to make it more realistic.

I put a picture of Santa Claus in the frame.

The third box is decorated with a very beautiful Christmas inscription The Magic of Christmas.

Under the inscription, I added elegant curls of chipboard Maggie's Swirl .

2Crafty chippies were useful to me in this boxes:

Album "Holy Night" by Elena Martynova

 Hello 2Crafty friends!

I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for the holidays! 

I made a mini-album dedicated to the theme of the birth of Christ.

I used the "Oh holy night" paper collection by Eco Park.

The album size is 13x26 cm.

The main decoration of the cover is the image of an angel in the dial from Clock Face Discs

Under the dial is slipped an asterisk, which symbolizes the star of Bethlehem.

Elements of the background chipboard are inserted between the layers.

I painted the entire chipboard black and waxed White Gold.

Some lovely lowers on cover too.

 

I decorated the first spread of the album with chippies from the Corner Fluer.

Another dial adorns the second spread of my Christmas album.

The center page is additionally decorated with a mini-page

in the shape of a heart. I added a chippie from the Ivy's Squares  set to it.

You can insert photos inside the heart.

The fourth spread is decorated with a very beautiful openwork chippie from the Element Set 1

In the last spread, I added a shaker-window 

and decorated it with an element from the Fluer squares  set.

2Crafty chippies were useful to me in this album:

Corner Fluer

Starlink Panel 

Clock Face Discs

Element Set 1

Wire Stars

Ivy's Squares

I hope you have a great day. Thank you for stopping by.

"Beauty Within" by Elena Martynova LAYOUT+ VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hi Everyone!

It's Elena here and today I have a layout for you that 

features my favorite chipboards from 2Crafty! 

As a background, I took a piece of paper from the new collection 

"TWINKLE OF SUNRISE" from Craft o'clock.

 In the video you can see the entire process of creating a layout.

 It was pretty fast and very fun for me.

First of all, I want to draw your attention to these wonderful word strips with inscriptions. 

They have such a wonderful size that you can use them in layouts, cards and albums.

 I really like the inscriptions on them - they are universal and suitable for all my works.

I also love the background chipboard. I divide it into fragments and put it in various places.

 This creates a multi-layered and multi-detailed environment.

 In this layout, I used two small pieces from Fencing Wire Panel 

Secondly, I just love the Compass chip. I covered it with embosser powder

 to add texture and gloss. Also lifted on a piece of cardboard to make all the elements 

seem more voluminous.

Aren't these birds lovely? And how well they fit the background sheet 

and the entire composition as a whole! I painted them first with white paint, 

and then lightly tinted them with gold, Golden brown and glitter paste.

"Treasure" Shadowbox by Elena Martynova

Hi dear friends!

It's Elena Martynova here today and I'm so excited 

to share my new project.

For our blog, I made such an interior thing - a shadowbox "Treasure".

I wanted to dive into the world of mixed-media, and play with colors and textures.
In addition, the blank for the shadowbox has been lying around for several years.

I made two doors - top and bottom and immediately there 

was a mystery - what is hidden behind them?

I decorated them with chipboard elements and small metal handles.

Let's open the top door first.

I put a picture of a lady in a frame here. Perhaps it was she who owned
these treasures, who knows... We also find two letters from the game Scrabble A and K.
It's probably her initials.

I used a mould by Finnabair to make these wonderful decorative elements.

Let's skip the Central part for now and open the lower door.

It hides three light bulbs, a clock chip on a metal flower, and three more letters.

In the Central part you will see an inscription with the name of the shadowbox, 

I also added some metal jewelry and a glass bottle filled with microbeads.

I took 7 DOTs Studio paper for the background.

 

I was glad to inspire you today! See you soon, bye-bye!

Autumn boxes by Elena Martynova

Hello crafty friends!

 Elena here today with a set of Seasonal Mixed Media Box.

All the luxury of autumn in new photo boxes. 

Noble purple, rebellious Burgundy, and sumptuous gold were reunited together.

The main decoration is my favorite chipboards from 2Crafty Chipboard.

Some of them are covered with brown and gold embossing powder by  Lindy's. 

The other part is painted and covered with transparent powder

 to enhance the color and fix the paint.

I used paper by Blue Fern Studio and Fabrika Decoru.

These boxes are designed for storing photos from autumn photo sessions. 

They can also be used as gift wrapping. 

I think it would be very nice to receive such a compliment.

I used all the chip dials and I still have a lot of hands from the clock.

 Why not use them this way! The role of the dial was played by a wreath of leaves

 from the Frame Viney Circles set, I pasted it on a card with a calendar 

and it turned out to be such a little crazy clock :)))

I put pictures of my dad in this box when he was very young. 

They were made 70 years ago.

Have a look at the wonderful chipboard I've used here:
