Valentine Birthday Card

9 February, 2020 - Okategoriserade

Hello Friends. Jennifer Snyder here featuring a card made using the gorgeous cheery Little Street Cafe collection by Maja Design. I love the warm happy colors of this collection.

In addition to the patterned papers from Little Street Cafe, I used the companion monochrome collection, Shades of Cafe, a set of solid cardstock created to perfectly match the patterned paper.

You can see the entire collection here however these are the papers used on my card:

Tea Please (A and B side of the paper)

Die cut sheet

I used some spectacular dies on this card from Spellbinders.

I am sending this card to a wonderful lifelong friend with a Valentine’s Day Birthday. Don’t you think these colors are warm and happy? I just know they will melt her heart.

My card opens to a surprise inside. The sweet image in on the inside of the card was cut from the die cut sheet.

Happy crafting. Thank you for visiting today.

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.

Hello Maja Design friends. Jennifer Snyder here to share a Valentine’s card created using the gorgeous new collection, Little Street Cafe.

This collection is fresh, cheery and full of springtime color.

Here are the papers used from the collection;

Coffee al Fresco

Tea Please ( A and B side)

Something Sweet

This card is on the clean and simple side with the die cut “love” sentiment capturing all the attention. I gave the die cut word some added interest by using the different patterns form the paper collection. Hard to choose which patterns I wanted to use because they are all so lovely.

Maja Design also has a monochrome collection that coordinates perfectly with the colors of the Little Street Cafe collection, for those people like myself, who must have everything matching.

Thank you for stopping here today.

Christmas Home Decor Shadow Box

Jennifer Snyder here to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season. Today I am presenting a holiday home decor that has been made more extraordinary by using Maja Design paper and a few embellishments.

I’m finishing the decorating and last minute Christmas gifts. I picked up an inexpensive piece on clearance and flipped it around to use the other side. Scroll down to see the before and after comparison.

Here is my process from start to end.

I used the Maja Design, Holiday in the Alps 12×12 paper collection for the background of this piece. The images and patterns in this paper collection are so peaceful and present a calm winter’s night.
These are the papers used:
Christmas Day

Winter Night

A little more about this piece and how it started. Below is the image of the original home decor seasonal plaque. Everything is on clearance this time of year and who doesn’t love a Christmas clearance section in the store! The great thing about the plaque is that it is very deep and thick to make for a perfect shadow box when turned around to the backside. These are things I think about when shopping. It may look like Christmas today, but can this be painted and altered for use as a summer project? If possible and inexpensive, then in the shopping cart it goes.

With a little glue, my gorgeous Maja design papers, and some other fabulous products, it gets a total makeover.

Thank you for stopping here and Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and peaceful 2020.
