Hello Maja Friends, it’s Elena here today.a

Fall has come and I feel the necessity for the mature bright and dark colors. That’s why I made a couple of cards inspired by the season.

I used Fika collection  – so cozy and sweet.

Purple , chocolate and green hues remind me about fogs, harvest and Indian summer.

I added some crochet lace and canvas ribbon , just a few flowers.

However to make it look more cozy I made stitching on paper layers.

So when it is chilling outside, it’s a good chance to invite your friend for a cup of tea or coffee.

Hello Sweeties,

I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards featuring the Ska vi ta en Fika collection.

Autumn_PB

I kept the design simple. I just cut a background paper.

Autumn_detail1_PB

Then I die cut a doily, added a few strip of paper, as well as some sisal.

Autumn_detail2_PB

I also die cut some leaves in the Pratstund paper.

Autumn_detail4_PB

Then I added a few flowers and some mica flakes and micro beads.

Autumn_detail5_PB

I followed the same process for the second card. A background paper, a die-cut doily, …

Autumn_detail6_PB

… a few strip of papers, flowers, leaves, and glitters and micro beads as a finishing touch.

Delicate Wedding Card

Hello, Maja Design Fans, welcome to the blog 🙂

Summer has ended, alas, and the cool days of autumn have come. Also the wedding season is losing its summer intensity, yet the need for wedding cards still continues. And so today I have a delicate, romantic card I made using the Summertime collection.

I used just two papers, but as I chose sand colours, they give a perfect neutral background for the flower cluster:

The flowers match the paper colours, with a little touch of peachy pink, to make the white chipboard elements stand out.

mdwedcl2

As the patterns on the background paper are very delicate, I wanted to make the background a little “filled” too, so I added dozens of tiny dots with liquid pearls and glitter.

Here are the items I used foreating the card:

Other: chipboard: Scrapiniec; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; liquid pearls, glitter: Ranger.

 

See you soon!
