Hello again, Maja friends! I’m curious, do you consider yourself an avid stamper? Like every day when you wake up in the morning you check your blog? Galleries? E-mails pertaining to crafting? Do you feel that you need to get into your craft space at least once a day? Do you walk around your house or outside and wonder if any little detail you see could be used on a project? If you answered yes to most of these questions, you’re like me….totally enamored of this paper crafting thing. Case in point, for this card I’m about to show you, I walked around my house and snipped off the little bubbly orange thing from an arrangement in my living room because I thought it would go perfectly with my card based on the Walking in the Forest collection:Am I right? How could I NOT use it?  I distressed all the edges and added some paper piercing to the outside perimeter of the card. The butterfly was cut from the Die-Cuts page contained in this collection. I added some Zva Creative crystal flourishes, a Prima paper flower and that thingy that I cut off. (I did cut it off from the BACK of the arrangement, FYI!) The ribbon is from Verve’s Summer Sailing collection and worked perfectly to bring your eye to the flower detail.

Here are a couple of other card that I made this past week using Maja Design’s Vintage Summer Basics :

Time for me to head out…got some paper crafting to obsess over, uh, work on! Thanks for spending some of your day with me! Have a great rest of the week!
