Goodmorning dear Maja Design Fans,

Don’t you just love the new Denim & Friends collection? It totally rocks for me because of it’s versatility…you can go masculine but also very feminine so for today I did the last one. I went for a girly spring card with a bunch of flowers, chipboard pieces and some shimmery embellishments. I took out the teal colors form the Denim & Friends collection to match my flowers which are by Petaloo & 49 and Market.

The chipboard pieces are treated with gesso, spray, paint and metallique wax. I took out a clear sheet and a script stencil by The Dusty Attic and added paste on the clear sheet then I lifted the outer border a little with foam tape. The text is a clear stamp by Joy and I also added a piece of ribbon and a flair {which I totally love to use btw}

The sequins are by “Dress My Craft” and are called play with green {but I think they look really teal tho}….this was a super fun card to make and I think I will make more of them. On the outer line paper I did some stitch like stripes to finish my card and at the end I added some sprays.

Hello our blog friends. My today’s proposal is a notebook made with the Summer Crush Collection. I think this notebook will stay with me for a little longer….

Memories never fade Memories never fade Memories never fade Memories never fade Memories never fade Memories never fade Memories never fade DSC_0597I love every single details of these papers. It is already second paper-set used by me. I keep every single element to use for cut some leafs or tiny circles. I will not write how I compose all layers cause this time it’s not so difficult. Simple but at the same time spectacular. I’m rally happy with the final result and the most important thing for me is to have fun. We create for enjoyment  – remember it. Of course we have some trends … but try to follow  your heart and keep a projects in your style.

Memories never fade… do you agree ?

Hi dear Maja fans! I am back with a giftbag this time, filled with lovely chocolate. And I have of course used my new favourite collection, the Denim & Friends Collection.

Denim-P

I have cut out different elements using the lovely papers. This time in more brownish colours and over to yellow. I have used DooHickeys from Magnolia for the tassels, hearts, tags and flowers.

To make the flowers look like this, I cut them out, then sprayed them with water, curled them, and let them to dry.

I have coloured the image from Magnolia with Distress Ink, reinkers and Markers. I use syntetic brushes size 0 and 000. And the paper to stamp on is called The Langton.

Hello and welcome! It’s Nancy on the blog today, and I’m so very happy to be here with you. It was an exciting day in Charleston yesterday as we were in the path of totality for the eclipse. I’ve also just returned from traveling again, this time to my daughter’s home to help out after my grand-girl’s surgery. I’m thrilled to report that all went well and she’s having a smooth recovery. I made her a get-well card to cheer her up a bit, but my sweet little grandson sadly pointed out that I forgot to make a card for him. I decided to remedy that situation as soon as I returned home. All I needed was a little help from Maja Design’s newest collection, Denim & Friends! Did I mention I’m happy to be home? It feels incredibly cozy to be back in my craft room with a cup of hot tea, surrounded by beautiful Maja Design papers!

The design papers are distressed, layered, and stitched in the usual fashion. The blues in this collection are absolutely lovely. I really can’t get enough of them. They’re perfect for masculine projects, but work just as well for shabby chic pieces.

I tell all of my children and grandchildren they’re my favorites, so this image makes perfect focal point. The ‘You Rock’ sentiment is also prominently featured.

This is one of the least flowery cards you’ll ever see from me, but I couldn’t resist tucking in a few petals here and there. The paint splatters fit right in with my grand-boy’s personality.

There is quite a bit of dimension, which I’ll try to capture in the photos.

A natural twine bow adds a finishing touch in the lower corner.

Below is a look at the interior of the card.

Hello my dear friends and Happy Sunday to all!!!

It’s Mary here with you today and I have a new layout to share with you, made with the beautiful ”Denim & Friends” collection.

For one more time, I decided to use papers in blue and earth tones that was inspired by the beautiful photo which I found on Pinterest. And, before I continue I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

Closer 1

I used for my background the ”Sunbleached” paper and I made some layers with the ”Wood” paper.

Closer 2

I gave my background a coat of clear gesso and then, I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. I continued by coloring my page with Lindy’s Stamp Gang spray ”Dark Chocolate Truffle”.

Closer 3

I heat embossed the title with the ”Madonna Robe Blue Gold” Lindy’s embossing powder. The ”Thistle Shrub” chipboards was also embossed with the ”Golden Angel Wings” powder. All the chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

To finish my page, I added some art stones with gel medium.
