14 May, 2018 - Cards, Coffee In The Arbour

Hello, dear friends! I’m so happy you’re here with us on this wonderful Monday. It’s Nancy on the blog with you, here to share a new card. I hope everyone who is a mother had a lovely Mother’s Day, at least in the U.S., as I know it’s on a different day in other countries.

Today’s card is created for my daughter’s birthday. I want her to have a card with all of my love put into it. That’s really what crafting and art are about for me; putting my heart and soul into a creation that will hopefully brighten someone’s day. I’ve been drawn to pastels recently, which seems to happen this time of year, so for this card I’m using the beautiful Coffee in the Arbor collection.

The two large flowers are crafted from the paper collection, with the addition of smaller purchased flowers to bring out the pretty yellows in the paper.

The florals sit atop a base of venice lace and are intertwined with a loopy twine bow.

Each layer of paper is distressed and stitched. The sentiment stamp is perfect for my sweet girl’s birthday.

Below is a peek at the interior of the card.

Write a comment

Hi everyone! Here I am back with a confirmand card using the lovely Summer Crush papers. With doilies and a straw.

It is Confirmand-time here in Strandebarm now. And here comes one of the cards I have made. I just love the images in the Summer Crush collection. And this is just so beautiful and dreamy. And a perfect match to the papers.

I have cut out the “Konfirmant” text with a die from Papirdesign using the Maja dotted paper.

The flowers are from Petaloo and Wild Orchid Crafts. I have places sissal grass behind them. And some cheese cloth behind the image.

And here is the back of the lollipop, to write a greeting on.

Here is the list of papers used:

: Sweetheart

: Flirty

: Snapshots

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Design blog today!

With love,

Celebrate Mother’s Day

12 May, 2018 - Sofiero

Write a comment

Jennifer Snyder here to share a card I made for my mother to celebrate Mother’s Day.

I used the gorgeous soft collection from Maja Design, called Sofiero.

The beautiful rose florals in this collection remind me of the rose garden my mother had in our front yard when I was a child.

These are the papers I used from the Sofiero collection:

Strolling Down the Rose Path

The Elegant Winehouse

Romantic Picnic in the Park

I used a Spellbinders die, created by Becca Feeken for the embellishing. The die was backed by a piece of floral lace to add an extra touch of femininity.

Here is one last look at the card.

Thanks for sharing a little of your day with us.

Hello sweet Maja fans..

Today it’s my turn again to give you some inspiration.

I love this collection , it’s certainly one of my favorite.

We had some very nice weather the last few days and everything in nature just exploded, flowers everywhere and the air is filled with their sweet scent.

that inspired me to make this card bursting with and from flowers.

I used flowers from Wild orchid crafts , pins ,ribbon and brad are from my private stash.
