'Christmas Moments to Remember' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty fans!
It's Lisa popping onto the blog today
 to share some Christmas inspiration with you. 

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 

 

'Pine Needle Wreath'

'Linear Snowflakes'

'Fine Snowflakes'

'Christmas Moments to Remember' 

 

 

For this layout I used an assortment of Christmas pieces,
 including the 'Pine Needle Wreath', 
that I finished in a muted green colour.  

 

I also used one of the 'Fine Snowflakes',

which I embossed in gold, and tucked under my photo.

 

 

 

How cute is that wreath!
I then used some of the 'Linear Snowflakes',

also embossed gold, adhered around my title. 

 

 

 

To finish, I used the 'Christmas Moments to Remember' title,

which I coloured in the same green as the wreath. 

 

 

I am really happy with how this layout turned out. 

I hope that you like it too.

 

Until next time!

"It's the SEASON to Sparkle" Layout and tutorial by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

This is my first inspiration from this month of February.

A winter layout with a photo of my granddaughter that I made using a photo editing application. 

The colors were my inspiration. 

"It's the SEASON to Sparkle"

    I made a video tutorials that you can watch HERE

  

    The chipboard used:

its-the-season-to-sparkle-title

majestic-reindeer-set

fine-snowflakes

linear-snowflakes

winter-twig-branches

wintery-snowflake-set

Once I chose the chipboards, especially these magnificent "majestic-reindeer", 

I start by applying a layer of white gesso. 

I use glitter embossing powder of the brand "Stampendous" on chipboards "snowflakes".

I start by painting the reindeer with a first coat of white creamy acrylic paint. When I realized my layout, I realized that it was really too 'white'. I apply a layer of metallic wax "Acid" color on one of them. 

To soften, I reapply a layer of white gesso.

I insert two branches of "winter-twig-branches" in the middle of my cluster.

 I also used a 'Midnight' metallic wax to embellish the title "It's the SESAON to Sparkle" and brushed it with white gesso to break up the overly shiny effect.

Watching the video is a good way to get more detail.

It's always a pleasure to meet you here!

'2Crafty Christmas Tags' By Elisa Ablett

Merry Christmas 2Crafty fans,

Here are the 2Crafty Chipboard Products used in the tags;

Mini Christmas Word Set 1

🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅

Let's take a closer look at each tag!

'Christmas Wonderland'

Create a Christmas snow globe on a tag, by cutting circle chipboard, heat embossing with silver embossing powder and adding small Christmas themed chipboard to your globe 

and Snowtex by DecoArt for a textured snow like look!

I heat embossed the delicate Linear Snowflakes with white glitter 

embossing powder to co-ordinate with the snow and winter scene. 

'Rejoice' 

Use small chipboard Polaroid frames to frame and draw attention to 

cut out elements like felt Poinsettia's and foam berries. 

I converted the 'sparrow on a branch' to a Christmas theme by sticking with the 

co-coordinating colours plus cutting Christmas paper to use as a wing on the bird. 

Heat emboss your small title with brilliant white embossing powder 

and add some lace and wood fibres for texture.

'Santa' 

Cover your tag with Christmas themed paper and sand the edges. 

Then ink around the edges to create a black grungy look.

Heat emboss your Chipboard Tree with metallic green embossing powder, 

then wrap the tree in black wire, making sure it lays fairly flat. 

Colour small ATC chipboard hearts or stars with gold glitter pen or 

paint pen and attach to the wire as though they are baubles. 

Add finishing touches like a hand painted present and title and red thread!

Well that's it from me today, 

thank you so much for stopping by the blog.

I hope all your Christmas and holiday preparations are going well!

Hugs.

Elisa xx
