Beyond Words By Marie Claude Rodier

Hi everyone,

Already time for me to show you my newest layout using my all time favourite chipboards. Often times, I use a lot of product to embellish my chipboards. This time, I went for simplicity with pure white on all of them. Light tone not only creates a good contrast on any project, but it also makes the chippies pop out a lot more.

Beyond words

All chipboards were embossed with Lindy’s purely white embossing powder. In order get a crisp and opaque color, I embossed every chippie twice.

Beyond Words was placed next to my picture, on top of my main clustering.

Frankies’s Frames were tucked on either sides of the clustering. And Corner Ivy was cut into several pieces  and placed here and there to create movement.

Until next time, be happy and be creative!

"Sweet Album" by Elena Martynova

Hello my dear friends!
 Today I want to show an album, which is intended for a little girl.
 I did it with great love and inspiration. The main decoration of the
 cover and pages
 were wonderful chipboards by 2Crafty.

I added title "Our daughter Milana" in a wonderful frame Oval Ornate.

I invite you to see how I decorated the pages of the album.
 You will find a list of used chipboard at the end of the post.

 

I decorated the silhouette of a pregnant woman with

Decorative Disc Set 2

 

 Page dedicated to the birth of the baby I decorated with

Ornate Gateway.

 Here I used

Frame Fine Circle with Butterflies.

 I took only a frame, and butterflies will live 

on the last pages of the album.

 I covered Circle Flowers  with yellow embossing powder 

and turned it into sunshine.

 On this page I used Frame Ingrid's.
 

 I decorated the picture frame with Doodled Frames.
 

 Photos of the baby and her parents will frame these circles from Doily Frames.

 This pages I decorated with Frankie's Frames and

 Doodled Frames
 

On the last pages I placed a Rose Set.

 

At the very end of the album there is a secret page

 dedicated to the meeting of Christmas.

 It is decorated with a frame from the set Frankie's Frames.

Thank you for your visit!

Have a nice day!

December inspiration by Kavitha

Hello 2crafty fans,

Kavitha here today with my last post for 2crafty.
Its always a sad moment to step down from the team, I have worked a little more than a year

with 2Crafty, and its been one of the best teams ever and I had a great time working with

the gorgeous chippies.

I absolutely love the range and quality of the Chipboards.
Big thanks to everyone for encouraging me throughout the journey.

"Magical" - Winter canvas

For my first project I made a festive winter canvas.

After preparing my canvas with light paste+ snowflake paste for a change

I glued down my chipboard pieces to the base first.
 I cut up Xmas Star Spray into two pieces and used on either side of the canvas
 and also added two pieces of Leafy Rounds to construct the overall composition.
I coated them with thick layer of heavy white gesso, I just dabbed them so that I get
 a nice texture on

the chipboard. 

Now I colored my canvas with teal and grey color bloom sprays.

Once it dried I mixed white gesso+snowflake paste and dry brushed it over

the chipboards partially to highlight it from the base.

Among the layers I added a piece of Decorative disc, Bird House and finished off 

with the Fine Words "Magical".
Everything is painted with white gesso +snowflake paste mix.

I glued down some Tiny stars to the background randomly from the ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars.

I painted them with white gesso and sprinkled some teal glitter while the gesso is still wet.

"Beauty" - Layout

For my next project I made a layout using Kaisercraft "Wandering ivy" collection.

The "Ivy clusters" chipboard design perfectly goes with this collection.

 All my chipboard pieces are heat embossed with different color embossing powders.

I also used the Flower Doilies and Frankie's Frame behind the photo. 

Two pieces of Ivy Cluster hanging down towards the bottom of the page from the photo.

 I added a couple of Addy's Butterflies and finished off with the Mini word "Beauty".

October inspiration - By Lilibleu

Hello 2Crafty fans!!

This is Lilibleu with you here today to share my October inspiration.

" Forever"

For this first project, I wanted to go on a trip in a fairy universe, 

very feminine with a set of colors that I like very much.

I embossed the arrow word "Forever" with purple powder.

 I like its smooth and shiny look after this embossing.

I love the "Frankie's Frames" chipboard, I find the design quite beautiful.

 I embossed it with golden powder to give a precious aspect to my page.

To reinforce the impression of lightness, I slipped the "Handdrawn Feathers"

 - embossed with purple powder - on the side of my photo.

The word "amazing" is embossed in gold to make it stand out.

2 Crafty Chipboards used:

- Handdrawn Feathers

- Mini Word Set 1

- Frankie's Frames

- Arrow word set 2

"Adore" 

Mixed media canvas

For my second project, I chose to make a canvas in a Halloween theme.

 I liked the picture of this little girl found on Pinterest, it was this photo

 that made me want to design my project on this theme.

All the chipboards on my canvas are treated differently.
 The "Small Crazy Circle Panel" chipboard is first painted in metallic orange,
then I embossed some place on it with orange powder.

The "Autumn leaves" are painted green.

The "11 Floral Frame" chipboard is painted with black gesso. 

The title "Adore" from "Fine Word Set 1" is embossed in orange.
