'#merrychristmas' layout by Rachael Funnell

 

Hello Everyone!

Well It's that time of the year and today I have this christmas themed layout to share

using some fabulous 2 Crafty Chirstmas chipboard...

and it features a snapchat fiiltered selfie photo taken of hubby & myself back in 2019...

2 Crafty Chipboard used:

2019

Brushstroke tree

Christmas # word set

mini bauble tree

Candle square frame

Let's start with the Candle square frame 

I really like this frame & wanted to frame my photo so I cut it in half,

gave it a nice thick coat of gesso, glued it down & 

covered up where I have cut the frame with some fussy cutting pieces....

The 2019 has also been given a thick coat of gesso.

For my title I have used the #merrychristmas inking this with Tim Holtz - Festive Berries..

Lastly I have used two different types of Christmas trees to the left side of my photo.

For the Brushstroke tree I have inked this with Tim Holtz- Prize Ribbon 

and for the super cute mini bauble tree inking this with grey...

Well that's it from me for now

I hope I have inspired you in someway

Thanks for stopping by!

Santa is Almost here! Christmas Cards with Lisa Amiet

Hello all! 

It's Lisa here today to share some 2Crafty Christmas 

inspiration with you all.

I have created a set of 3 cards. 

2Crafty Chipboard used:

I have kept my cards quite simple as I wanted the chipboard pieces 

to be the highlight of my cards.

For my first card I have used the 'Peace, Love, Joy' piece,

which I have embossed with an aged gold embossing powder.

I find it a bit difficult photographing gold and missing the reflection.

I have also added some stars from the 'ATC Star & Hearts',

also finished in aged gold.

For my second card I have used one of the 'Wire Stars',

that I have finished in white. 

I have then layered the festive piece from the 

'Christmas Mini Word Set 1',

finished in aged gold.

I have also used one of the 'Mini Santa's Sleigh Card Pack',

on the bottom half of my card.

Again finished in the aged gold embossing powder. 

For my final card, I have used one of the 

'Mini Bauble Trees',

which I have embossed in aged gold. 

I have then added some tickles to the baubles,

for some sparkle. 

To finish, I have again used one of the words from the

'Christmas Mini Word Set 1', finished in aged gold.

I hope that my cards have inspired you to create something today,

maybe you are needing some cards for Christmas?

Until next time!

'Merry Christmas' CSI Case 267 with Kripa Koushik

Hi friends,

This month 2crafty chipboard is sponsoring the challenge at CSI - Case 267 and this is my take on it.For evidence, I used a background paper with grids, tags in the layers behind the photograph, stars, reindeer, string and lots of Christmas elements. For the testimony Ive documented something about Christmas and put my journaling on a tag.

I started by applying a layer of gesso on all the 2crafty chipboard pieces.

Two of the pieces - mini reindeer and star circular frame are covered 
with metallic gold paint from Colourarte.

 The Mini Bauble Tree was painted with metallic Teal paint.

This is my favourite part of the layout. I love how beautiful these two pieces
of chipboard look layered over each other. To colour the St. Nicks Snowflake,
 I applied stamp pads in shades of green directly on the gessoed piece.
Once heat set, dab a little white gesso to get a distressed look.

  

Thank you for visiting us today.

Have a great week ahead.

Christmas Cards with Kripa Koushik

Hello friends,

My project today is a pair of Christmas cards using a few of the beautiful Christmas 

themed 2crafty chipboard pieces.

As always, I started by applying a coat white gesso on all the chipboard pieces. The Xmas Deer Head and St. Nick Snowflakes were coloured using stamp pads. Once the ink dried, the Xmas deer head was stamped over with a script stamp & gold acrylic paint.

 For this  card, the Mini Reindeer and St.Nicks Snowflakes were coloured with stamp pads. The Mini Bauble Tree was painted with gold acrylic paint. I cut the snowflake in two and tucked them under the pattern papers.

Thank you for visiting us today.

December Projects with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty Chippy fans!

It's Lisa here today with some Christmas inspiration for you.

For my first project I have a wreath that I purchased.

It was just a plain twisted vine wreath with some silver glitter on it.

I obviously could not leave it in this neglected bare state :)

Here is how I decorated it.

I picked up some decorations in a colour scheme I liked and set to work sticking them on. 

I wanted the 2Crafty Chipboard pieces to stand out so I left them until last.

I have then used a couple of the "Starbright Snowflakes", that I have embossed in white.

I used my hot glue gun to glue them into place on top of the baubles.

I have then used some of the "Linear Snowflakes", that I have embossed 

in a teal to match the baubles I had stuck to the wreath.

I have then used some of the "Mini Reindeers", that I have embossed in a pale pink.

Another close up :)

I am in LOOOVE with these snowflakes, they're so pretty and delicate.

I really love how it turned out, it looks great hanging ready for Christmas.

2Crafty Products Used:

To keep with the Christmas spirit I have created a set of two cards.

]

Up first is "Merry Christmas"

For the first card I have used modelling paste to stencil the snowflakes on.

I have then used the "Dangling Christmas Sign", that I have embossed in

white. I have then used Nuvo Drops & Stickles to highlight the 

baubles on the sign. 

I have then used two of the "Mini Reindeers", which I have inked purple to match my papers. 

I have then used silver to highlight their enters, tails and feet.

Up next I have "Joy"

For this card I have used one of the gorgeous 

"Mini Bauble Trees", 

I have again used Nuvo Drops and Stickles to highlight the baubles.

I have also used the word Joy from the

"Christmas Mini Word Set 2",

that I have embossed in dark purple.

Lastly I have used one of the "Linear Snowflakes", embossed in 

white, tucked into my layers.

I hope you have liked your visit and are feeling a little more festive :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I will be back next year
