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!

'Adore' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello 2Crafty Lovers!
It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy inspiration with you,
a layout featuring my son. 

 2Crafty products used:

 'Mini Family Icons'

'Mini Number Panels'

'Arrow Gear Clusters'

'Steampunk Element Set 1'

'Fine Word Set 1'

'Industrial Light Bulbs'

 

 

For this layout, I used one of the 'Industrial Light Bulbs',
on the right side of my photo. I finished it in black, 
and then roughly painted the light bulb element
 to make it look like light.  

I also used one of the 'Mini Number Panels',
also finished in black. 

 

 

I also used one of the 'Arrow Gear Clusters',
also finished in black and adhered on the right side, 
layered with some light bulbs elements from my papers.

 

 

For my title, I used one of the words from the 

'Fine Word Set 1', again finished in black,

and adhered under my photo.  

 

I also used one of the 'Mini Family Icons', 

also in black and layered on a tag. 
I also used one of the 'Steampunk Elements Set 1', 
in this cluster of elements.  

 

 

On the left side of my page, 
I used two more of the 'Industrial Light Bulbs',
finished the same as the previous piece, 
and layered in the top left corner of my page. 

I really love how the black pops against
 the yellow and neutral tones of my papers.
I hope that you like what I have created.

Until next time!

Lisa
 

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

Laugh - Laura Gilhuly

Hi everyone!

I am back today to share a layout of I created of our youngest enjoying a good day and laughing with our friends and family!

 

2Crafty Products Used:

Word Circle Set 2
Tickets
Mini Number Panels
Circle Dot Frames (negative)
Textured Tile Bits
Hexagon Frame Strip

I covered all the chipboard with gesso then started painting them in shades of blues and white and gold for accents.  I wanted to create lots of layers using the chipboard and die cut images from the papers.

I used different shades of blue brusho powders to colour the tickets and the number panels

I used the negative pieces of the hexagon frame strip also.

"Adorable" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

My first inspiration for this month of February is a happy and fun layout.

The funny curve of the writing highlights the attractive title 'Adorable'.

"Adorable"

The chipboard used:

Adorable

6inchzipperframes

number-panels

mini-number-panels

The colors of the plush toy to create this layout attracted me, as did my grandson's little face.

As always, I cover each chipboard with a layer of white gesso.

All chipboards were enhanced with the same products and in the same way.

I start with a first coat of metallic wax in the color "Midnight" from Prima, which I apply with my finger more or less precisely. I use my "Distress Inc" inker in the color "peacock feathers" to rub randomly and provide color contrast. To give relief to the 'Zipper Frame' chipboard, I use foam adhesive.

I overlap two sizes of "number-panels" chipboard. 

It's a great idea to have designed two sizes. This helps create depth.

I haven't had the opportunity to use this title yet, but for this layout I find it perfect. 

And you, what do you think?

I hope the chipboards I used will give you some creative ideas.

Until next time!

Marie

       

Back to School Fun with Lisa Amiet

 

Hello all.
It's Lisa here today to share some fun
'back to school' inspiration with you.

I have used one of my sons school photos for this layout.

 

 

2Crafty products used:

 

 'Brick Panel'

'Mini Number Panels'

'Tiny Triangle Clusters'

 

For this layout, I used a section cut from one of the 'Brick Panels',

that I have embossed in white

 so that it contrasts against my dark background.

 

I then used one of the 'Mini Number Panels',
painted in a bright yellow to match my layout,

that I have layered onto the brick panel.

 

 

I also used a few of the 'Tiny Triangle Clusters',

that I have embossed white and used across my page.

I was lucky that this school range co-ordinates well with my son's uniform colours.
I am really happy with how this layout turned out.

 

Can you believe this little munchkin graduated Year 12 last year,

how time flies!

Until next time!

Lisa

Mini Sampler

6" Christmas Star Frame

Mini Number Panel

Circle Tag Set

I wanted to coordinate all the colours of my chipboard with the bright and fun colours of the paper so I heat embossed each piece.  I chose the red for the mini sampler

For the 'Adore' Circle tag I inked then used a white jelly roll pen to highlight the word!

I know the title says 'Christmas Star Frame' but it fits perfectly for our little school star too!

I really like that you get 6 of the mini number panels!  Perfect to use in multiple areas of my page!
