Believe layout for 49 and Market

Good morning 49 and market fans and welcome to my blog. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

‘Believe’

Of course it is nearly Christmas so time to share a layout specifically for the festive season using again the gorgeous new ‘Winters Edge’ collection, this seriously is my favourite ’49 and Market’ paper collection.

Products Used:
– Winter’s Edge – Snowdrift
– Winter’s Edge – Laser Cut Sheet
– Cottage Blooms – Poppy
– Floral Mixology – Emerald Isle

As you can see in this close up I added some gold wax to the Cottage Blooms to add some Christmas Sparkle.

I made good use of the Laser Cut Sheet and added lots of elements to my layout, tucking them in between layers.

I even added some elements actually found in my garden, you can see here I used some seed pods of one of my native bushes.

Of course I used some of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard pieces and painted them gold (don’t you just love those reindeer’s) and finished of with some art stones for a bit of extra texture.

I just love this time of the year and can’t wait for the festive season to start.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Until next time…..

Christmas Magic layout for 49 and Market

Welcome Crafty Friends to another Blog Post.

Today I would like to share with you a Christmas layout using the absolutely stunning new ‘Winters Edge’ collection designed by our very own Janene Jaeger Meyerowitz .

'Christmas Magic'

As you can see, and really you need to see these in real life, these papers are absolutely gorgeous. The backgrounds are full of life and clever designs and you therefor don’t need to add a lot of media to it. The only thing I added was a star stencil and some light paste just because I think every Christmas layout needs some stars.

Products Used;
– Winter’s Edge Collection – Season’s Greetings
– Winter’s Edge Collection – Laser Cuts
– Cottage Blooms – Cotton
– Floral Mixology – Emerald Isle

As you can see in this close up I clustered my flowers and tucked some of the Laser Cuts amongst them. I find layers and dimension are so much more eye catching then a flat layout so if you need to, add foam tape or cardboard to raise your embellishments.

How gorgeous are those boots and what about the wee little car with the holly.

Here is a close up of the Star Stencil I used, it just adds a bit of extra dimension and how cute is that lantern? The chipboard is of course from 2Crafty Chipboard and I just added some gold glitter embossing powder. You can never have enough gold and glitter on a Christmas layout.

This close up really shows all those layers. The Laser Cuts are perfect for adding those special accents to your project.

Here is a perfect close up of those gorgeous Cottage Blooms. I left them perfectly white on this project but you could make them any colour you want to suit your layout.

And there you have it, Winter’s Edge Collection, perfect for all your Christmas and/or Winter layouts.

I hope you like my layout.

Until next time….

Life is short Take the journey layout for 2Crafty chipboard

Good morning 2Crafty fans and welcome to the blog!

Today I created this layout with a bit of a beach theme but I think it would work well for any photo.

 I played with a bit of colour and used some sprays for the background. Flowers and paper are of course from 49 and Market.

Products Used:

- Fishing Net Bits

- Fern Leaf Set

- Life is Short Word Sentiment

I love the 'Fishing Net Bits', I think they make the perfect background for this photo. I added some gold embossing powder and a little bit of silver wax to highlight.

The sentiment is gorgeous, I love the fonts used and that is why I kept it simple by just adding some white embossing powder, I think it stands out nicely amongst all the colour.

I also separated the word 'Journey' from the rest of the title so I was able to place it on the layout in two different spots, I think it balanced it out perfectly.

Last but not least I added the 'Fern Leaves', again keeping them simple and white to match the title and tucked them amongst my flowers. Finished it all off with some art stones and 3D gel.

That is it again from me for now. Thank you so much for popping in.

Until next time.....

Happy Moments layout for 49 and Market

Hi there 49 and Market fans and welcome back again, it is good to see you!

‘Happy Moments’

I tore the ‘Provence’ paper in such a way I could save the images which I used on the layout by fussy cutting them out.

Products used:

– Cottage Life Collection – Fresh Delivery (reverse) and Provence
– Blossom Blends – Bluebell
– Gabi’s Borders and Textures Stamp
– Archival Board – Happy Moments

I proceeded by adding some background stamping in two different colours using ‘Gabi’s borders and textures’ stamps.

I then just kept adding all my elements in layers, I love layers and textures.

I usually add my photo with some sturdy cardboard to add dimension so I have ‘space’ for my embellishments.

This is a good close up of the fussy cut image I previously spoke about, finished of with some copper coloured prills.

So that is it for me for now, hope you like it and thanks so much for dropping by.

Until next time…..

I just {Heart} these kids layout for 2Crafty chipboard

Good Morning 2Crafty Fans and welcome back to another 2Crafty blog post.

'I Just (Heart) These Kids'

2Crafty Chipboard products:
- Foliage Set 5
- I just (heart) these kids - sentiment
- ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars

I simply added some gold embossing powder to all the foliage as well as the heart shape in the sentiment.

The rest of the sentiment I just coloured with some distress brown paint, I think it blends in just nicely.

A bit of white embossing powder was added to the tiny hearts and scattered around the page. I usually just eye ball it, look at it from different angles until I am happy with the way it looks.

And that is it. A pretty simply layout. It is pretty amazing what you can do with some gorgeous chipboard pieces and the only other thing I added to this layout are the flowers which of course are from 49 and market.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will all have a very 2Crafty weekend!

Until next time!

Hugs
