Explore Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to share my second layout of June. 

For this project, I chose a precious photo of my grandson Milan wearing his adorable little aviator helmet. I absolutely love his curious expression, and it immediately inspired the soft vintage atmosphere of this page.

"Explore"

The chipboard used:

mini-word-set-4

12-x-12-clock-face-frames

steampunk-lightbulbs

love-you-balloons

steampunk-gears-small

mini-number-panels

grungy-splatters-bits

For this project, I used the beautiful Faded Memory Lane collection from 49 and Market. The soft vintage tones of the collection were perfect for highlighting this precious memory.

Before decorating my chipboards, I applied a coat of white gesso to all the pieces. Once dry, I coloured them using Distress Oxide inks in soft brown, beige and muted blue-grey shades to coordinate with the collection and subtly echo the aviator theme of the photo.

For the Clock Face Frame, I used Antique Linen, Stormy Sky and a touch of Vintage Photo to create a soft aged effect. I love how this large frame naturally draws attention to the photo and creates a beautiful focal point. The Steampunk Gears Small were coloured using Stormy Sky and Vintage Photo. These shades enhance the mechanical details while blending perfectly with the soft palette of the layout. The Love You Balloons were coloured with Antique Linen, Tattered Rose and Frayed Burlap. These soft tones complement the romantic feel of the layout and balance the industrial elements beautifully.

To finish my focal cluster, I added the word Explore from the Mini Word Set 4. It was the perfect choice to complement Milan's little aviator outfit and curious expression.

For this section of the layout, I combined the Grungy Splatters Bits with the Mini Number Panels to add texture and dimension to the design. Both chipboards were coloured using Stormy Sky, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide inks, creating a soft aged finish that blends beautifully with the vintage tones of the collection.

I love how the Grungy Splatters Bits add a subtle mixed media effect, while the Mini Number Panels bring extra detail and help reinforce the vintage feel of the page.

I used the Steampunk Lightbulbs to add visual interest to the upper section of the page. They were coloured with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to create a warm vintage finish.

I love how the combination of these chipboards adds texture, dimension and character to the layout while perfectly complementing the soft vintage feel of the collection.

See you again soon for another 2Crafty Chipboard creation!

Enjoy The Journey - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!

Back today to share a layout I created of our oldest sons purchase of a 1977 Corvette.

2Crafty Products used:

Mini Chunky bits
Grungy Splatter Bits
Harlequin clumps
Brick Panel
Frame Chained Circle
Enjoy The Journey
Mini Numbers Panel
Steampunk Chain Clock Cluster

I always begin by prepping my chipboard with gesso - either clear or white

I then begin spraying different shades of grey and bit of black mists to create the effect I wanted.

I inked the pieces with black ink on the outside so when I layered all the pieces there was
still definition of each piece.

I had added some red tickets from my stash to coordinate with the cars red interior and wanted
the title to stand out a bit so I inked it with lumberjack plaid ink and embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by

Memories - Laura Gilhuly

 Hi everyone!
I am back to share my next layout! 
A masculine layout I created of my husband, stepson and friend working on Sebastian's motor.

2Crafty Products used;

Harlequin Clumps
Line Words Good Times
Grungy Splatter Bits
Mini Checkerboard Bits
Steampunk Gears Small
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gear Border
Hanging Steampunk Lightbulb Set

I covered all of the chipboard pieces with texture paste then I began painting, misting and inking each piece

I used pumpkin impasto paint first then added some blue brusho powder and Lindy's cattail brown mist.  I wanted each piece to be different.

To highlight the texture on each chipboard piece I dry brushed white paint and then added some art stones that I dyed to match.

I wanted the title to stand out from grungy background and to accomplish that I painted a few coats of the pumpkin impasto paint then heat embossed it with orange embossing powder.

"World Traveller" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the 2Crafty website.

I present you my second inspiration of this March.

An invitation to travel with a layout embellished with a collection of splendid chipboards, 

accompanied by photos of my grandchildren during a train trip.

"World Traveller"

The chipboard used:

world-traveller-title

thin-square-stacked-frames

world-globe

page-tab-set

grungy-spatter-bits

circle-arrow-journal-spots

luggage

mini-title-stick-set-6

I went a bit overboard with the number of chipboards, but I liked them all!

I outlined the center of my page with a solid-colored piece of paper.

I positioned my two photos that I framed with the chipboards "thin-square-stacked-frames" that I embellished using embossing powders of Lindy’s Gang color "Golden Angel Wings".At an angle of the photos, I create a cluster of embellishment, I add a tab "page-tab-set". They are great to bring a little bit of detail. In order to create a contrast, I add some "grungy-spatter-bits" that I tinted darker.

I used a piece of the 'luggage' chipboard.

    I used embossing powder to embellish it and personalized it with embellishments from the paper collection. I love how it turned out. It's what makes scrapbooking so magical. In the background of the title, I add a chipboard "circle-arrow-journal-spots".  To make it more obvious, I place a 'laser-cut' element in the center. I choose to leave the title covered with a single layer of white gesso, simply.

    On each photo, I added a phrase with the "mini-title-stick-set-6" chipboard, which I also embellished with embossing powder. For an extra touch of fun, I added white embossing powder. The first piece I glued to the center of the plain paper was the "world-globe" chipboard. I used a wide range of colors to achieve a result that suited me!!!

        A close-up showing the chipboards I used. 

As always, I loved the transformation of each chipboard.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

'Everyday Adventures' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share my first layout for 2025.

I have been super lucky being able to create
with 2Crafty Chipboard for the past I think 7 years,
and I hope to be able to bring you more layouts in the future.

So here's to 2025 :)

'Everyday Adventures'

2Crafty products used:

- Everyday Adventures Title
- Mini Chunky Funky Bits
- Grungy Splatter Bits
- Page Tab Set

 

 

 For this layout, I chose a grungy vibe
and gave it a mixed media background.
I then used one of the 'Grungy Splatter Bits',
which I have finished with black ink,
and tucked in next to my photo.

 

 

 I have also used a few of the 'Mini Chunky Funky Bits',
which I left raw but inked the edges lightly with black ink.

I also used one of the tabs from the 'Page Tab Set',
that I finished with blue ink to coordinate with my papers.

 

 To finish, I used the 'Everyday Adventures Title',
that I finished in the same blue ink.

 

 

I really love this photo of my three favourite people!
I also love how this layout turned out,
I hope that you like it too!

 

Until next time!!

"#christmasjoy" A layout on canvas by Marie Sabatier

 Hello everyone,

As we approach the end of the year, I share my latest layout.

A Christmas themed layout using a canvas as a support.

I only used new products from 2Crafty, I enjoyed it.

"#christmasjoy" 

The chipboard used:

- Christmas #word Set 1

- Grungy Splatter Bits

- Floral Cluster Set 1

- 2024's

   

A little touch of gesso to properly prepare the chipboards.

This layout is inspired by the colors of the character in the photo.

I'm really a fan of these 'Grungy Platter Bits' chipboards. 

    They are perfect for garnishing a page background by giving it personality

To embellish them, I used "Oxide Distress", "mowed lawn" and "peeled paint" inks.

    For the "Floral Cluster Set 1" chipboards I used a mix of the colors "Golden Doubloons" 

and "Grab a Guy Gold" from Lindy's Gang. 

    I wanted to obtain a shade that was close to the lights of the character in the photo.

I use a word preceding a # for my title, it's original and so current!

It is just covered with white acrylic paint.

      The year "2024" is always useful for remembering the dates of the photos and for adding details to the arrangements. Using the same chipboards, I create a cluster on the right side.

I love this close-up!

Once again, I had fun embellishing these chipboards.

I wish you happy holidays and all the happiness in the world!

Thank you again for your loyalty throughout this year.

Marie
