Altered Box for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!!

 Well hello there crafty friends, 
I am very delighted you are her with me, for today I'd like to share a altered box that I created for my colleague who is leaving us to enjoy her well deserved pension. Although it's with a raw edge since she heard that her cancer is back since the beginning of march {throughout her bones this time} but that doesn't keep her from being a very positive lady and I really admire her for that and so much more. This box holds cards from her colleagues who worked with her a lot longer then me, since I started working there september 2023. But that doesn't mean I didn't make her a card,  I of course did and a nice box to hold them in, in her favorite color yellow. Enjoy this post.....

Amaze Yourself
Mini Word Set 3

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 painted the oversized flower stem set with some spray paint and a pencil in defferent colors. But fistly I cut them up and only used pieces of them. For the skeleton leaves I used the same technique. Undertneath the big green piece of paper there is a picture of "Riek" but I wasn't sure if she wanted me to post it online so I didn't. 

The words & phrases are threated with two layers of white gesso after that I added some white shiny embossing powder {three layers} then I added some stained wood wax on all of tehm some a little more then the other. The beeyoutiful set was only altered with white gesso and tucked in flower clusters.

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

Delight in Every Moment layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & ***Maja Design***!

 Hello my lovely fiends, 

Welcome to my blog, 
today I will show you a layout with the gorgeous new collection called "Everyday Life" by Maja Design and ohhhh my words it's so freaking gorgeous. It has different color pallettes and some amazing cut out sheets to work with, for today's layout I went for the yellow,cream and black/brown shades. I did a lot of distressing on my borders and what I totally love about this collection it has such lovely phrases randomly placed of the paper sheets. When this collection of papers came in I right away knew which pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard I wanted to use. I am a big fan of borders and anything swirly. 

Delight in Every Moment: 

I have used three layers here for my layout and behind the picture two layers, I used a gorgeous stencil by Celebr8 on my background. I also did a lot of fussy cutting on my layout like the sunflowers en butterflies. Firstly I coated the corner pieces, phrase and aztec feather with a thin layer of white gesso, then I used some gold embossing powder on the corners and white embossing powder on the phrase & feather after that I added some waxes in different shades to create more depth.

I off course used a picture of our lovely Abbey that I took last year her sitting in the grass with flowers in her hand. The beautiful chipboard border is treated with some gold shimmer spray and some waxes. On the background paper I used a new stencil and I finished my layout of by adding some "say it in crystals" & some white spray.

I Love You Layout for ***Celebr8***!!!

  Goodmorning lovely fiends, 
Happy March to you all today I will show my second layout for the wonderful company Celebr8 for this layout I used the gorgeous "Thankful Heart Collection" which is full of amazing and warm/rich colors and many  pieces to fussy cut. I enjoyed working with this collection very much, I did some stitching on my layout around the edges and the picture I used is from our daughter Abbey being silly in fall leaves all around her.

I LoveYou: 

I did some lacing on the top left side of my layout because with all the collection from Celebr8 Australia you get embellishments like little beads, lace, lightweight metal pieces, buttons and so much more that I had to incorporated in my layout. On my background sheet I added one of my favorite clear stamps and the stencil that was included in this collection.

I really love the petty word strips in all of their collection you can use them on a card, mini album, tag, layout. I also added some lindy's stamp gang spray on my background that matches the yellow/orange colour of the sunflowers.

There was also some mini clothespins inclused and I used some extra of my own stash on the tags and on the cirkel wax wire/cord. To get demension on my layout I added some foam tape on some a little more then on the others.
