Let's Explore Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

I'm lucky enough to be able to present you with a third inspiration for this July.

A summery layout featuring a sandbar, the sea, and a photograph of my granddaughter
playing in the sand.

"Let's Explore"

The chipboard used:

lets-explore

dotted-polaroid-frame

corner-crackle

seaweed-set-1

      

I apply a layer of white gesso to each chipboard, then use Distress Oxide inks to decorate them.

I start with the "antique linen" shade for this original frame titled "dotted polaroid frame."

To add depth to the overall effect, I raise the frame with cardboard.

I use a piece from "seaweed set 1" that I stain with "vintage photo" and "walnut stain" to give it a wood look. They look alike, don't they?

The bottom of the layout is completed with a "corner crackle" chipboard and a title made with a mix of "peacock feathers" and "salty ocean" colors.

I love transforming these particle boards.

Thank you very much, see you soon!

Marie

      

"Spooky October Memories" Round Mixed Media Canvas with Amy

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day, today I'd like to show you a round spooky halloween canvas. Last friday we had a halloween party {more for kids tho} so we got dressed up Abbey had fun at the party that's why we do it right? Enjoy my post....

Spooky October Memories: 

Gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Skeleton Leaves
Mini Title Stick Set 4
Lattice Leaves
 Corner Crackle
ATC Word Banner Set 2
Oversized Flower Stem Set 1
Fine Word Set ~Months~
Leafy Sihouettes
Corner Steampunk 6
Mini Word Set 3

Most of the chippies are treated with a layer of white gesso & embossing powder to make the embossing powder less shiny I added some matte wax on some of them. The oversized flower stem I cut up and used them separate on this project but also on a ealier project. 

For the corner crackle I used a layer of black gesso too, before I added two layers of dark embossing powder. As most of you now know I love to make some words I use in a two toned color! I did that with the word "october' on this project. 

Thank you so much for stopping by I will be back soon with another project hope to see you back then....I hope I have inspired to create something spooky and have fun while doing so.

"Christmas Cards" with Amy Voorthuis

 Hi lovely creative peeps, 

Hope you are having a wonderful & creative day, for today I have two Christmas cards to share with you and I used some of the amazing chipboard pieces 2Crafty Chipboard offers.
 Enjoy this post.....

Snow Magic & Merry Christmas: 

Amazing 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Corner Crackle
Merry Christmas Fine Card Pack
Crystal Snowflakes
Holly Twig- Branches
Word Circle Set 1
Dangling Merry Christmas Sign
Wintery Snowflake Set
Thin Square Stacked Frames
Snowball Tree
The Magic of Snow

I altered the chipboard pieces in different ways for my first card I mostly used embossing powder {gold & white} but for the "snowball tree" & the magic of snow phrase I cut those in pieces and I used two colors of matte acrylic paints after that I added some true snow randomly on those pieces. 

The pieces of Crackle Corner, add texture and interest to the background and I've cut up
 pieces of the Snowball Tree and tucked these amongst the paper flowers. Lovely gold embossed finish on the rectangle frame, adds a beautiful backdrop for

 the rest of the elements.

For my second card I left some of the chippies in their raw state. I sometimes feel that is a better fit on my projects. On some of the pieces I used some white gesso and on the holly twig branches I added some acrylic paint & some true snow. I've cut out the sentiment in the Word Circle and added the Merry Christmas sentiment to the middle.

Again on this cards, I've added cut up pieces of the Crackle Corner to the background for

 some interest, and added some small snowflakes and Holly Twig Branches.

 Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....

The Magic of Snow by Sabrina Turpin

Hello 2Crafty friends!

Happy new year to each and everyone of you!
I hope that 2021 will be an amazing year, full of joy, love, laughter and crafting! 

So far here 2021 has treated us with a nice snowfall on new years day and some beautiful mild weather since then. It's perfect for our dog Neho, who just loves snow above almost everything else in life. When there's nice snow like this, he'll spend hours playing and frolicking in the snow, when he pretty much refuses to go outside during the hot summer days.

"The Magic of Snow"

I separated the "Corner Crackle" in two in order to use it as a background texture and applied some old silver wax on it

On the "Berry Vine Set", I applied a red metallic paint and then dabbed a bit of silver embossing ink on top. Finally, I traced the borders with black ink. For the "Foliage Set 8", I used a pewter metallic paint and also inked the borders with black ink.

On the title "The Magic of Snow", I applied one coat of black embossing powder and then dabbed some silver embossing ink on top to give a snowy effect on the black.

I used the following 2Crafty chipboards in this layout:

Corner Crackle [cr0072]

Foliage Set 8 [m00867]

Berry Vine Set [m00805]

The Magic of Snow [w00561]

That's all for me today!

 Again, I wish you an amazing 2021 and I'll be back soon with another layout to share with you guys. Until then, have fun in the snow! Or enjoy the sun if you're lucky to be in summer right now!

Perfect as you are by Sabrina Turpin

 Hello 2Crafty Fans!

I hope you're all safe and doing fine in these special times.
 On my side I've been homeschooling my son and daughter for a few weeks now and
we're having a pretty good time doing so.
 They're keeping contact with their friends with daily video calls and so far we're
 still all in a good mood! 

Today, I'm presenting a layout I made featuring my son, who has grown so much in the past few months since the lockdown begin here. He's really turning into a sweet teenager (if a bit stubborn!).

"Perfect as you are"

On the "Corner Crackle", I applied two coats of green/jade metallic paint. For the "Steampunk Cog Frame", I applied silver embossing powder then a bit of black embossing ink on top.

I left the "hansome lad" chipboard from the "Mini Title Stick Set 1" to its original appearance, as I found it was a good fit for the colour theme I was going for.

For the title, "Perfect as you are", I used a sandy black embossing powder.

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

Corner Crackle [CR0072]

6" Steampunk Cog Frame [FR0137]

Mini Title Stick set 1 [MB022]

Perfect as you are [W00589]

That all for me today! 

I hope you enjoyed this layout and it gave you some inspiration for your own creations.

 I'll be back in a few weeks with another layout to share with you guys!

 Until then, take care!
