"Two Tall Christmas Cards" by Amy Voorthuis

  Goodmorning 2Crafty friends, 
I am so happy that you are visiting this amazing blog, I love creating with beautiful chipboard
 pieces. Today I have two Christmas cards made with the new Maja Design collection called "Woodland Christmas" and some amazing 2Crafty Chipboard pieces as shown below. I am not such a card maker but I do love making Christmas cards every once in a while. 

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces. 

Two Tall Christmas Cards:

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Wicker Wreaths
Card - Word  Circle Set - Christmas
Swirly Star Border
11" Holly Frame Set
Lattice Leaves
Spring Flower Bunches 

The cards are 8,25 by 4,25 inch I really love to make them that tall {because then you can put a lot of chippies on them} all the chipboard pieces are first treated with some white gesso then I altered them in different ways. Both little circulair frames are treated with some green acrylic paint and then some matte rusty brown wax and in the end I added some snow. The flowers are handmade love to do that but it's very time consuming. On the "spring flower bunches" I just added several layers of lindy sprays in a green color.  

The lattice leaves are firstly treated with acrylic paint and on the tips of the leaves I added some golden embossing powder! On the card disk sentiments I also used that same embossing powder. the swirly star border I cut in half and used one piece on every card I treated that one with some red acrylic paint and some brown spray paint and inthe end some wax. 

 Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like

"Amazing Day" by Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning amazing 2Crafty friends, 

Today I would like to show you all a very colorful layout and this time I used the amazing NEW "Postcards from Paradise" collection by Prima {swoon} and some beautiful NEW & older 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. The picture I have used here is from Jeroen & Abbey in Greece last year. We have had rough couple of months and we have some ahead that's why you haven't seen much of my work lately. Hopefully I will make that okay with you all.

Amazing Day

 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Sabina's Frame Set 
Fern Leaf Set 
Foliage Corners 
Amazing Day
Squiggle Arrow Set 
Mini Branches 

On the beautiful "Sabine's Frame Set" I added some matt golden eyelets in the already prepared circles after that I added some sheer lace but before all that I used some pretty matte pink acrylic paint to color it. For the phrase I used the same color pink and after I attached it to the upper right corner of my layout and used my sewing machine to stitch over it. 

 On the rest of the chipboard pieces I used some white gesso and some different green matte, metallique acrylic paints on some I have added some waxes. On the Foilage Corners I used two different shades of green and some cute green pearls. Inthe end I added some leaves, pearls and word strips. 

Thank you so much for your visit today and if you would like to see more of my work please visit here:

"Pretty in Pink" By Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone, I'm back with my second post for January featuring

some wonderful flourishes & border chipboards.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Maggie’s Swirls

Flourish Adornment set 4

Fanciful Butterflies

Lacy Border set 1

 I love the beautiful Lacy Border Set and wanted to show them all off, so I hope
 my layout “design” has achieved this, the lacy border chipboards make such
 pretty edges to the different paper sections.
 With a quick coat of black acrylic paint they then coordinate beautifully.

I have used both sets of Flourishes and tucked them in and around my fussy
cut elements, I cut some of the bits off that would have been hidden and
dotted these around my layout to make good use of them.

I can never resist a butterfly, painted with black acrylic paint again to coordinate,
the beautiful "Fanciful butterflies" finish off my layout, there are two sizes in the pack,
so I have layered them up to give some height and dimension
 to my layout, I have then added a tiny pearl to each. They look so pretty.

I hope you have enjoyed my post and layout and I hope I have inspired you
 to use those pretty border chipboards

Thank you for stopping by - happy crafting!!
I’ll be back next month with two more projects
