Wedding lollipops

29 June, 2016 - Cards, Summer Crush

Hi there Maja fans! 🙂 Right now I am on holiday in Spain, and the time before I left were so busy. But I had some wedding cards to finish, so two more lollipop cards to go!

Once again I have used the lovely images from the Summer Crush Collection, called Snapshots. Infact all the papers used are from the wonderful Summer Crush Collection.

The postmark stamp and the handwritten letter stamp are both from Stempelglede. The roses are from WOC. The text is written on my computer and printed out on watercolour paper 200g. The papers are inked With Distess Ink pad-Walnut Stain, and sewed with my sewing machine. I have added Liquid Pearl drops on the scalloped edges on the circles (spellbinder dies).

Between the paper layers I have put some doilies and cheese cloth.

And here is the other lollipop card. This one for my cousine Sandra who is marrying a guy from Australia. They met while she was studying there, and they are both coming home to Norway to celebrate their wedding together with friends and family. This will be the first time we meet the groom to come. And we are so excited and happy for them both! Can’t wait to meet Sandra again and her love.

I just think this image is the cutest, and perfect for a romantic card.

Here is the back of the cards. The text stamp used is from Stempelglede.

And here are the sheets I’ve used:

: Snapshots

: He gives her flowers

: Falling in love

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

Hugs,

A happy hello to all of our crafty friends! It’s Nancy today at the Maja Design Blog. I’m super excited to share a card created with Maja’s fabulous new papers, Summertime! This collection captures the carefree days of summer, and puts limitless design opportunities at your fingertips.

The roses and the image of the sweet girl are fussy cut from the paper collection. The large flower below is handmade from design papers to perfectly coordinate with the card. Flower stamens and a twine bow add a soft touch the lower corner of the card. A tag is layered beneath the flower, but it ended up being mostly hidden.

The ‘summertime’ sentiment below is also part of the collection.

The papers that form the base are distressed, layered, and stitched. The left corner is lightly stamped with a butterfly/script image from Prima. Floral branches are embossed in the left corner. Several Distress and Starburst Sprays are combined to coordinate with the papers, and splattered randomly with a waterbrush.

The photo below gives a closer look at the layering and dimension.

Nyhavn’s Cards

Posted by Pascale B

26 June, 2016 - Cards, Collections, Enjoying Outdoors, Nyhavn

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards featuring the Nyhavn collection.

I used the same background paper (Strolling along the canal) on both card and added the same design with a stencil and two metallic paints: one gold the other one silver.

On both card, I added a piece of the Old Townhouses paper as well as a piece of the Historical atmosphere paper.

On this one, I added yellow roses and leaves die-cut in the Enjoying Outdoors papers.

On the second card, I added blue and pink roses.

The two cards, even if they were made with the same papers, look totally different just because I’ve used two different colors of embellishments.

Maja Design papers:


Nyhavn				Enjoying Outdoors
Stolling along the canal	Old Townhouses	Historical atmospher	Historical atmospher bs	Beautiful tree bs	Gardening bs

It’s summertime..!
