Good morning Maja friends! How are you doing? Today it’s a beautiful autumn weather here in Norway, sunny, but pretty cold.

Today I have played with the new papers from “Enjoying the Outdoors” collection.

I have made a birthday card for my brother in law who turns 50 the coming weekend. I think the green papers in the collections fit a masculine card well.

I have used an old photo, a real vintage photo from around 1920. The card is also decorated with tags, washi tape, a metal clip, chipboard, a piece of an old book and small playing cards. And here you have some close ups!

Crafting has always been a passion of mine, and since I discovered the amazing world of papercraft years ago I have been completely addicted to it. I love the shabby chic- and vintage style and most of my projects are characterized by the use of vintage photos, lace, flowers and romantic details

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you today. You know, that I love to create cards and today’s post is no exception, its again me with cards. This time I have pulled out the Vintage Baby collection and made 2 cards- one for a baby girl and another for a baby boy.

As you will see both of the cards use the same sketch and both of them use my tiny paper scraps, that I had and of course I just couldn’t through them away. This also provided me with the patchwork effect that I love in shabby style.

Hello Maja Design fans! Have you got a chance to play with the new “Summer Crush” collection by Maja Design? I’ve recently played with this collection and I’m in love with the sweet colors. Today’s project is another project which I’ve created using this collection.

I’ve altered an mdf clipboard using the gorgeous papers. I’ve first covered the whole board with the pattern paper and slowly build layers on top of it using pattern papers, inks, stamps and stencils.

Here are some close-ups.

To create a softer look to it, I’ve added some flowers, picks and lace. I’ve chosen flowers with white base and later, lightly misted it with paint to give it a hint of color. On the lower right of the clipboard, I’ve also altered a huge paper clip with the pattern paper and twine. This huge paper clip can be used with the clipboard.

WalkingIntheForest_Album_ElenaOlinevich1 I filled it with some fabric embellishments and enjoyed papercrafting

WalkingIntheForest_Album_ElenaOlinevich2I added some folds for extra photos as well

WalkingIntheForest_Album_ElenaOlinevich2aand for more cosy feeling I added mostly fabric trims and some leaves dies
