HELLO Beautiful by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!
Tania joining you today to share the last of my DT projects for June. 
  I have created another layout for my second share. 


2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Ginny's Flourish Set
*Hello Beautiful
*Foliage Set 14
*6" Messy Square Frame"


I have used the stunning Uniquely Creative 'Serenity' Collection to create the base for my layout.  


I first painted all the chippie pieces with gesso.  Once dry I randomly dabbed on Kaisercraft Lavender and Heidi Swapp Amethyst Color Shine Sprays to all the pieces.  I then randomly dabbed on some more gesso over top of all the pieces.



I added paper layers under my photo and then added it to my background page.  I added the Messy Square Frame chippie over my photo and then embellished around the Frame using lots of fussy cut elements and paper blooms.  I tucked the Ginny's Flourishes & Foliage chippies in amongst all the fussy cut elements and paper blooms.  I finished off my page by adding the HELLO Beautiful chippie to the top left of my layout.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 
 Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

'You are Awesome'
with Lisa Amiet

 
Hello all!
It's Lisa here today to share some scrappy inspiration with you.
I have created this layout featuring my son.

 
2Crafty products used:

 'Hanging Steampunk Lightbulb Set'
'Circle Maze Set'
'Steampunk Light Bulbs'
'Star Bubbles' 
 
 
 For this layout, I used one 
of the 'Star Bubbles',
that I inked black,
 and tucked under the corner of my photo.  
 
 
 I also used one of the 
'Hanging Steampunk Lightbulb Set',
again inked black, and adhered 
hanging from the top of my page.  
 
 
I then used one of the 'Circle Maze Set', inked black 
and with a star element glued to the middle.  
 
 
I then used one of the 'Steampunk Lightbulbs',
 inked black, and adhered above the maze piece. 
 
 
 I really love how the black makes the chipboard pop 
on the brick background paper.
 

I really love how this layout turned out.
I will be back soon with some more 2Crafty goodness to share.
 
Until then,

Lisa

BLOOM & Grow
by Robin Schelin

 Hi everyone. Welcome back to the amazing 2Crafty Blog!

Today I'm sharing a layout that I created all from scratch. I drew my inspiration from a digital design I saw on Pinterest. Since I didn't have the striped paper I wanted to use, I created my own. A lot of cutting and glueing. I was a little cross-eyed by the time I got each stripe glued down, but I think it worked out pretty good.  Hope you like it.

BLOOM & Grow


2Crafty goodies I used:

Lacey Border Set 1

Ginny's flourish Set

Corine's Swirl

BLOOM & Grow Mini Title


Remember to Gesso those Chippies, ladies!


I surrounded 3 sides of this layout with one of the borders from the Lacey Border Set. I tucked the edges under the paper, which I glued to a large piece of chipboard. This was so that it would be sturdy and lay flat without any bulges from the borders. I simply painted the borders with White Acrylic Paint.


Here is the bottom of the layout showing more of the border from the Lacey Border Set.



I added Corine's Swirl along with one of the flourishes from Ginny's Flourish Set at the left top corner of the photo. I thought this would balance with the height of the last doily at the end of the page. Also to add a different design. I painted them both with Sandridge, from the Prima Woodlands Water Color Set.


The title, Bloom & Grow, is just perfect with this cute little girl.
Love it! I painted it with White Acrylic Paint playing off the white of the doilies.


Hope this inspires you to try creating your own patterned paper. It's work, but worth it.

See you in a few weeks with more from 2Crafty.

Cuties
By Charmane Sharp



I wanted to create a "Cute" layout to represent the Cute puppies on my
lap. The perfect title had me on my way along with the sweet little paw
 prints. The colour combinations were very fresh taken from the Uniquely
Creative papers.


2Crafty Chipboard used...

Lattice Heart set
10' Decorative Panel- Doily 1
2025's
Paws and Heart set
Title- Cuties
Foliage set 18




Couldn't have found a more perfect title for this layout. Cuties was painted
with a Violet colour and dabbed on Gesso at the base to lighten it after it's
initial coat of Gesso. The Paw prints were coloured with gel pens and tucked
under the title. Finished with the Lattice Heart set painted with lime green and
dry brushed with Gesso to break up the colour.




Two shades of green were sponged on the Foliage and a little Gesso
sponged on the edges. They add such lovely detail to my clusters. Some
of the hearts from the Paw print and Heart set were added to my flowers.
I painted them with lime paint and dry brushed gesso over the top and
applied some glue to the edge and add glitter for a little sparkle.




The Doily was made a focal point of my layout by laying it over the
bottom and cutting the excess off for another use. Painted with an old
paint that was thickened I was able to sponge it on and get texture. Once
dry I then brushed a little Gesso on to highlight the texture. Any excess
paint was scraped off with my blade and I glued the centre to some printed
paper and cut it out.




The 2025's is easy to record the date of my photo in the corner and was
given the same treatment as above. I hope you have enjoyed my Cute
layout and are dragging your paints out to transform your 2Crafty
Chipboard. Will be back with you soon.

Until next time...
