Hello 2Crafty friends!

Summer time is here in Canada and along with it some much needed vacations!
The layout I am sharing today features my teen son as he "borrowed" my sunglasses because
the sun was too strong to his taste.

"Love"

On the "Light bulb word set" and the "Light Bulbs", I applied brown ink and a bit of gold wax on top.

For the "Steampunk Strips", I used black paint with silver and gold glitters in it. I ripped the "Brick panel" chipboard to make multiple pieces and applied two coats of green metallic paint. Then I applied black ink on the borders.

For the "Frames Tiny Henri's", I rubbed some gold wax and black ink on top, letting a bit
the original chipboard color show through.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Light bulb word set 1 [M00803]

Light bulbs [M00457]

Steampunk Strips [M00781]

Brick Panel [660038]

Frames Tiny Henri's [FR0068]

Steampunk Gears Medium [M00646]

That's all for me today!
I'll be back in a few weeks with another layout to share with you!
Until then, happy crafting!

 

#LOVE Layout and Video by Marie Sabatier

Hello, I hope you are all well, here in France the pandemic 

is getting worse and we fear a third confinement is scary.

But fortunately the scrapbook is there to forget this worrying situation for a moment.

For this new page, I wanted to use this wonderful "Steampunk Circle Frame" 

and this photo of Leo my grandson.

I chose this paper for the colors in harmony with the background of my photo.

And I also made a video!

2Crafty Chipboard used :

- Hashtag Word Set 1

- 12 inch Steampunk Circle Frame

- Circle Frames

- Circle Stack

- Steampunk Gears Small

- Steampunk Gears Medium

- Light Bulb Word Set 1

Here are some close-ups, but feel free to watch the video for more details.

As always, I applied a layer of gesso to each chipboard.

On the "Steampunk Circle Frame" particle board, I applied a first coat of shiny 

metallic ink in the color "Hematite" then a second coat of "Turquoise" color

Then several shades of metallic wax until I got the effect I wanted.

I used the "Circle Frame" chipboard for support.

For the "Steampunk Gears Medium and Small" chipboards 

I applied lighter shades to contrast.

On the "Circle Stack" and "Light Bulb" chipboards, I applied a coat of black gesso 

then "Red Amber" antique shine wax.

For the title I proceeded in the same way.

I added yellow paper embellishments to brighten it up.

Here it is finished!

Hope I made you want to watch the video and gave you some inspiration.

Journey-Take the Scenic Route - with Karan Gerber

Hi Friends and welcome to the  2 Crafty Chipboard Blog today.

Its Karan Gerber here to host the blog for you one last time. 
 It has been a wonderful year and I cannot believe how quickly it has passed us by.  

I want to take the opportunity and thank Vanessa and Di for allowing me to join the team this past year, I hope i have served you well, and wish you continued success! 

So onto my Last Project!

I have altered a box. In my scrap room clean up, i came upon some mists collections from Canvas Corp, this one is called Naturally Aged Kit - Aged Mahogany. It is a four part step mist/paint process, some requiring drying time in between, some while the previous layer is still wet. 

I started by prepping my box with gesso and heat setting; and following directions on the package adding layers of color. 

I chose some chipboard pieces to accent this box, I love the light bulbs and chains, and thought the brick detail will be a nice touch

I cut up the brick chipboard and placed some on the top edge of the box and brought some down onto the bottom part of the box

I love gears, they represent moving pieces of my favorite item to alter ( clocks) 

I put a piece of flat chipboard behind the light bulb word for added strength. And below are some further images. 

I love how this turned out, its not normally my go to color combo, but trying to get out of my comfort zone with that and when i came upon this color kit, i thought it would be a great way to do that. 

Here are the pieces of chipboard i used.

Happy Scrapping !!

"Everyday moment" by Tammy Klingner

Hi there,

Tam here today to share my latest.....

A layout documenting my daughter and her study habits.....

I wanted to capture and remember this as she will be moving out in the near future, and it will be these everyday moments that I will miss the most.

I used the following 2Crafty Chipboard....

"everyday title"

"Light bulb word set 1"

"NEW Scribble Circles"

"Dotty Bits"

This month 2Crafty are sponsors over at CSI and this is for their current case #300.

I always enjoy solving their cases.

Let's take a look at it....

You will find all of the clues over on the Challenge Site HERE

I love using as much as possible from the list.

I used the following:

I love that colour scheme - black, white, powder blue, fuschia and orange. I also used polka dots, labels, fussy cutting, flowers (I combined the two), text pattern (on strip and in background of flowers), plus signs, light bulb, notebook paper, computer (in photos), brush font, spiral punch, clips.

My journaling was written on labels and I documented a workspace.

Phew!! 

Fun though.

So let's take a closer look at the chipboard....

I painted some of the NEW Scribble Circles in a fuschia colour and scattered these across the page, tucking them underneath things.

I purposely went from the top left to bottom right corner, and ALWAYS make sure at least one of the circles are half off the page.  This helps create movement and guides the eyes into the layout.

I painted some of the Dotty Bits and tucked these amongst the vertical strips - this made them look a bit like scallops.

I added both the pink and the orange to my everyday title for a gorgeous ombre effect.

I really love doing this with my titles and chipboard.

Finally, I painted one of the light bulbs in a soft blue.

I positioned it near my daughter's head to represent 'ideas'.

I'll pop back later in the month with some more chippy inspiration.

Luv Tam

"Remember Moments" By Karan Gerber

Hi Friends and welcome to the 2 Crafty Blog Today!
 Its Karan Gerber hosting the blog and I have a layout to share with you.

I am doing a quick share tutorial with you as well and you will find that
below the first few images!  But first here is my project...

"Remember Moments Like This"

The "Leafy Shrubs" are great to use to enhance flowers on your
projects and I have used them here.

The "6 inch Mandala" I cut in half and used half as a layer here as I
 would normally use paper, it gives it some great dimension and texture.

The "Light Bulb Word" was covered in rust paste and I tucked it

 in my flower clusters in the upper corner. 

Here is a quick walk through this project, 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today.

"Be yourself"by Sabrina Turpin

 Hello 2Crafty friends,

Warm weather is finally here in Canada and we can finally enjoy outside activities again! Last summer, my son Liam discovered himself a taste for skateboarding. He has been longing for the moment where he'd be able to jump back on his board for a few months and this moment has finally arrived.

I took this picture and had an inspiration to create a layout that would capture the almost-but-not-yet-pre-teen attitude of my 10 years old boy.

"Be yourself"

I did a lot of work on the "Frame Star with Stars": I started by inking it with blue ink. Then on the center star, I applied diluted navy paint. On the side stars, I applied a white and blue embossing enamel.

On the "Retro panel", behind the picture, I used silver embossing powder and applied black embossing ink on top of it. Then I traced the border with black ink.

For the "Light bulb word set", I applied red embossing ink and put a silver glaze on top of it.

On the "Star Bubble set", I applied red embossing ink then dabbed white embossing ink on top. Finally, I've applied a silver glaze.

For the title, "Be yourself", I used a silver wax and traced the border with black ink.

On this layout, I used the following 2Crafty chipboards:

 Frame Star with Stars [FR0030]

Light Bulb word set 1 [M00803]

 Retro Panel [660042]

Star Bubble Set [M00666]

Be yourself  [W00055]

That is all for me today! I hope you enjoyed my creation and that it gave you some inspiration! I'll be back in a few weeks with more ideas to share with you. Until then, have fun creating!
