Christmas Cards for *2Crafty Chipboard* and & Playing at Challenge #122 Bingo at SrapAndMe!!!

 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 amazing chipboard pieces by 2Crafty, ScrapAndMe papers & Maja Design papers, handmade flowers, pre made flowers and some amazing collage ephemera {Christmas Fairies} by Marta Lapkowska. Enjoy this post.....

Card 1: December 2024  

Bingo: middle horizontal row: paint splatter - flowers - doily

I just love making cards that are non traditional in colors so that is what I did here. For this card I altered the "Berry Vine Set" with spray paint without adding gesso first and then I added some lighter green acrylic paint with a sponge, the "Merry Christmas" banner is from ScrapAndMe not sure which collection.

On the "Card Xmas Baubles" I added some black embossing powder on the hanging part but you can't see that anymore because I added flowers on top of that. But on the baubles I added some Christmas balls from the collage ephemera book {Christmas Fairies} 

That cute little fairy is also from that book, the word december & 2024 are treated with embossing powders both two layers and one n a two tone style. 

Card 2: Christmas Memories

Bingo: middle vertical row: stitching - flowers - ribbon

The "Circle Dot Frame" is treated with two layers of embossing powder in a green color. 

For this card I did use the traditional colors which is also fun to do....for my second card I used the pretty "Magic Christmas" collection by ScrapAndMe the flowers are handmade. 

For the dangling part from the "Merry Christmas Sign" I treated that one with a ink pad after I first added two layers of white gesso. I also did that with the word Christmas. The word memories is cut apart from the phrase "cherished family memories" and is treated with green metallique wax. 

I will be entering this months challenge at the ScrapAndMe blog which is a "BINGO" and I love bingo's so much that I will be entering with both cards. 

First card: middle horizontal row: paint splatter - flowers - doily

Second card: middle vertical row: stitching {faux} - flowers - ribbon

 Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies & Lindy's products and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny rest of the week!

Two Tall Christmas Cards for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

  Goodmorning my sweet friends, 
I am so happy that you are visiting my blog today, I love creating with beautiful chipboard
 pieces.  Today I have two Christmas cards made with the new Maja Design collection called "Woodland Christmas" and some amazing 2Crafty Chipboard pieces as shown below. I am not such a card maker but I do love making Christmas cards every once in a while. 

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces. 

 Two Tall Christmas Cards:

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Wicker Wreaths
Card - Word  Circle Set - Christmas
Swirly Star Border
11" Holly Frame Set
Lattice Leaves
Spring Flower Bunches 

The cards are 8,25 by 4,25 inch I really love to make them that tall {because then you can put a lot of chippies on them} all the chipboard pieces are first treated with some white gesso then I altered them in different ways. Both little circulair frames are treated with some green acrylic paint and then some matte rusty brown wax and in the end I added some snow. The flowers are handmade love to do that but it's very time consuming. On the "spring flower bunches" I just added several layers of lindy sprays in a green color.  

The lattice leaves are firstly treated with acrylic paint and on the tips of the leaves I added some golden embossing powder! On the card disk sentiments I also used that same embossing powder. the swirly star border I cut in half and used one piece on every card I treated that one with some red acrylic paint and some brown spray paint and inthe end some wax. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog I sure hope you like my work as much as I love making them. 
Stay happy & creative

You Make Me Happy Handsome Lad Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

Well hello sweet friends, 
So glad you are visiting my blog, I really love creating with beautiful chipboard
 pieces like these. For today I have another 12 by 12 layout as those are my favorites to make.
 This time I used a older picture of Kevin and myself.
 Since my printer was acting up I couldn't use the picture I wanted to use.
 You got to love technology right???

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

I just love to wrinkle my papers so that's what I did for this layout. I also machine stitched the outside of my base sheet. Most chipboard pieces are treated with some rust paste and waxes as for the title "you make me happy" the top was embossed {with white powder} and the happy part was also treated with rust paste. 

The 11" holly frame set was firstly treated with some white gesso and later on I added three kinds of green acrylic paints and a lavender acrylic paint. Then on the berry circles I added some wishing bubbles to make them pop a little. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog I sure hope you like my work as much as I love making them.

 Hi there lovely friends,
It's a lovely day to visit my blog, for today I have another layout to share with you. Lately I really love to use a little mixed media on my layouts like combining the very romantic stuff with a darker twist to it. This time I made all the beautiful chipboard pieces black which I later on painted to my likes. For this layout I used a picture of both our kids {Kevin & Abbey} Kevin was reading a book and I thought it was so sweet that I took a picture.

All the pretty chipboard are treated with a layer of black gesso. Then I used several waxes and a dabber brush to make it look like real metal. In the end I added some color with acrylic paints to match my layout 

For my layout I have used some Maja Design papers and a new mould to frame my sweet picture with. For the background I have used a stencil and some sprays.

Love That Smile Mom layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & ***Maja Design***!

 Hello my lovely fiends, 

Welcome to my blog today I am such a big fan of all the beautiful chipboard pieces 2Crafty offers for this layout I used five different pieces. And again I used the newest collection by Maja Design to do so this time in blue & cream tones with a lovely picture of my mom.

Love That Smile Mom:

The frame I inked with some cream ink after I gessod it. Then I added some white & clear wax. The beautiful 11"Fine Floral Frame Set I sprayed with some lovely lindy's and added some blue ink randomly to make fit my layout. The phrase & word are treated with white gesso and I added some blue ink. On the Swaying Branches I did the opposite I inked it with blue and used some white wax on it. 

For this layout I used a older technique on my background sheet I took a plastic bag and wrinkled it and added some spray on it to then add it to my sheet. I aslo used a pretty stencil only it's almost all underneath the pretty pieces of chipboards & my picture. I also did some stitching and wrinkled my papers a bit.
