"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!

'Trimming the Tree' with Lisa Amiet

Hello 2Crafty lovers!
It's Lisa here today to give you some Christmas inspiration,
and I have created a layout for you.  

'Trimming the Tree'

2Crafty products used:

For this layout I have used one of the 'Star Bright Snowflakes',

 that I have tucked in behind my little houses. 

I have also used one of the larger 'St. Nick's Snowflakes',

in front of the houses, both of which I have embossed in a silver glitter. 

I also used one of the 'Pine Needle Wreaths', 

that I layered with one of the 'Word Circles - Christmas'.

To do this, I have finished the wreath in a white and green, 

then I also coloured the circle the same to match, 

but I have embossed the words in silver glitter.  

I also used one of the snowflakes and stars from the 'Wintery Snowflake Set'.

I embossed both of these with silver glitter finish, 

layered the snowflake on the wreath and the star above the little houses. 

I am really loving the sparkle of the chipboard snowflakes 

and am very happy with how this page turned out.

I hope that you like what I have created, 

and that this has inspired you to keep creating!

Until next time,

Lisa

Christmas card inspiration with you!

2Crafty products used:

For my first card, I used some of the 'Crystal Snowflakes',

that I have embossed in a silver glitter finish,

and tucked into my layers. 

I have also used one of the 'Mini Title Stick Christmas Set 1',

which I have left raw to coordinate with the corrugated cardboard. 

I have also used one of the 'Bauble Ornament Set',

which I have also embossed in the silver glitter finish. 

Love that sparkle!

For my second card, I used one of the snowflakes and stars,
 from the 'Wintery Snowflakes' set, also embossed in the silver glitter finish. 

I have layered these onto my title,

one of the 'Mini Title Stick Christmas Set 1',

again left raw to coordinate with the cardboard.

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

again finished in a silver glitter embossing powder. 

I really like the sparkle and impact that these pieces have on my cards.
