Hello, dear Maja friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

The weather this winter is very weird, no snow or frost, just dull rainy days. It might make you pretty discouraged, and I think there’s no better way to overcome blue feelings than the colour therapy 🙂 And Maja Design’s latest collection, Little Street Cafe, is just perfect for the task, with those juicy purples, yellows and oranges! Today I have a very colourful wedding exploding box to share using these optimistic papers:

I think the flowery pattern of the Always Time sheet is so beautiful! I covered the outside walls of the box with panels of it paired with plaids of the Coffee Al Fresco and Delicious papers:

I tried to mimick the flower bouquet of the paper on the lid of the box:

Inside walls are covered with charming polka dots pattern and tiny flowers:

As exploding boxes often serve as practical (and beautiful at the same time 😉 ) means of giving money to the newlyweds, so I usually put pockets on the walls and suggest some goals, like “for a dream journey”, “for a baby crib”, “for the home”, etc.

There’s also a small panel for writing in wishes:

And as usually, there’s a chipboard “cake” in the centre of the box, this time with a couple as the topper:

I like how the colours of this collection complement one another to make a juicy optimistic combo. I think this exploding box would be perfect for a boho-style wedding. What do you think?

Here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: dies: Spellbinders; flowers: Prima, Wild Orchid Crafts; cake: Wycinanka.pl; bling: my stash.

 

Thank you for visiting today, don’t forget to drop by soon for more inspiration!

Hello Maja Design friends.  Jennifer Snyder here with you to share a card made using Maja Design’s the fresh fun “Little Street Cafe”.  This collection is cheery and filled with bold happiness, warm images, gold, purples, pinks and more.
Below are the papers used for the card.  You can see how beautiful the patterns are in the collection.
“Coffee al Fresco”
“Hot Drink”

 

 This card is for my best friend who is having a rough time lately.  Everyone needs a hug.  She’s been my friend since we met in college …..wow 35 years?  Could that be right?  Hmmm gotta check the math.  Yep – it’s correct.  That means a special card is required.

The flowers on the sheet called “Coffee al Fresco” are perfect for the occasion.

 

 

The necklace die is from Spellbinders.  It made for a super fun project.

Thanks for stopping here.
Send someone you love a card today!!  Happy crafting.
