"Today One I Will Remember" Layout with Amy Voorthuis

 Goodmorning lovely 2Crafty friends,
I am so happy you stopped by the blog, today I made another layout to show you and again it's with a baby picture love doing layout's with cute babies lately. This baby is the son of my ex co-worker who became a first time mom in 2024. I have used some new and older chipboard pieces that combined perfectly with some prima paper & flowers. 

Today One I Will Remember: 

Gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Today Phrase Set
Large Roman Numerals Set
Dainty Foilage Stems
Vintage Steampunk Clock Cluster
Giant Gears
Corner Steampunk 4
Chain Lengths
Frame Chained Circles
Pag Tab Set
2024's
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears Small
Fine Word Set ~ Months
One Love Title

Most of the chipboard pieces are altered with some white gesso but I also left some of them just in their raw state, sometimes it just fits better that way. The white chipboard pieces on my layout are made white with some acrylic matte paint. 

On the vintage steampunk clock clusters I added some different color waxes. The other chipboard pieces are coloured with my aqua/alcohol markers in a chocolate color & the dainty foilage stems in a dark green sage color and to finish them I added some of my waxes. 

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....

With all the chipboard pieces I've used, I have just simply inked them...

Next, is this Ship Wheel from Anchor & Buoy set, which I have sitting over the Giant cog

I have inked with again a Tim Holtz ink - Frayed Burlap.. 

I also inked the 2023 and this Industrial Spring with Tim Holtz - Frayed Burlap 

then cut this Spring before placing either side of the photo..

Lastly for the title, Let's Explore I wanted it to stand out that little more

so I inked it black... I am really happy with this page &

'Memories' with Lisa Amiet

 
Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa here today to share some
 floral steampunk inspiration with you.

2Crafty products used:

For this layout, I have used a die-cut gear cluster cut from black cardstock.
I have then used some of the gears from the 'Giant Gears & Cogs',

which I have painted black, and adhered onto the back of the cluster. 

I have then layered gears from the 'Steampunk Gears Medium' and 'Gears',
all painted with black gesso and adhered to the front of some of the gears in the cluster. 

I then used a metallic wax to rub on the cluster, highlighting the gears and some parts of the die-cut.
By adhering the gears to the die-cut, I am able to build up dimension and texture to the cluster. 

I have also used one of the 'Fine Word Set 3' as my title,
which I have painted white and adhered,
layering over my bottom gear cluster. 

To finish I have used one of the 'Geotags', which I have also given the same metallic wax finish.
The wax finish highlights the chipboard pieces really nicely, and
I really like the mix of steampunk gears and pretty florals. 

Until next time!

Hello fellow crafters!

Corner Steampunk Set 5

Let's start with this gorgeous Boho hanger....   Just LOOOK at that detail 

and I've kept it quite simple by inking this with a lovely purple (lavender)

Then I have the Perfect Title 'Create Your Own Sunshine' 

from the 6x4 Phrase, Sticks Set 5  Sitting at the top of the Boho hanger,

which I've given this phrase stick two light coats of Gesso...

Next up is the Corner Steampunk from Set 5 where I inked one of the corners with a sliver, 

then I have cut the Corner in half and placing the two halves

 in between the fussy cutting & flower clusters...

Also! added a Giant and a couple of the Medium Steampunk gears 

 inking these in a pretty Pastel pink finishing it off just nicely...

AND that's it from me, Thanks for stopping by

 Hopefully, I have inspired you in some way today

Forever In My Heart Memories From The Past by Jenny J.

 Hello everyone!

Here is a different style of  layout for me today,
more grungy style...

“Forever In My Heart”

There is a lot of 2Crafty chippies on my layout... 

*Forever in my heart

*giant gears & cogs001

*Steampunk gears medium

*Steampunk strips

First of all, I've  applied clear gesso and a texture paste 

with a stencil on my background.

Then, I've built up my clustering by layering the chipboard

and chipboard elements to give dimension.

Above, you can see part of "Steampunk strips" treated with rust effect paste, 

pieces from "Giant gears and cogs" painted with black gesso and Lindy's squirt and

some others, black gesso, 3D gel medium with a stencil and a lots of waxes.

The next pic will show you another piece of "Giant gears and cogs"

 treated the same way as the previous one and a smaller one too, 

from "Steampunk gears medium", 

covered with black gesso but also with embossing paste and powder.

Below, the title, "Forever in my heart", 

treated with black gesso and copper toned wax.

Again, you will observe "Steampunk strips" with a rusty effect, 

gears chippies treated just as the previous ones.

Did you like that grungy style?

It's my grandfather in the pic.

Miss him so much 💓

Stay safe everyone!

Thanks for stopping by xx

Hastag 'TOTALLY' Layout By Rachael Funnell

Hello & a warm welcome to the 2 Crafty blog. 

Rach with you today sharing my newest creation, this grungy boys layout....

#Totally

This layout featuring my boy 

with a couple of his younger cousins

another great moment captured....

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

Giant gears & cogs

2019

#TOTALLY

Steampunk strips

Mini hot air balloons

Starting with the Mini hot air balloon I have sitting to 

the left & under the title. I have given it 2 coats of gesso! 

Next the title #TOTALLY

I went with inking it black along with the Steampunk strips.

 I wanted a different contrast with the Giant Gears & cogs

                        so I went with inking them nice bright blue! AND did the same to the 2019..

Finalizing my layout (as I usually do) with some splattering, 

which then has given the chipboard pieces a great unique finish...

Thanks for stopping by

I hope you feel inpsired in some way!

until next time
