Winter Home Decor Shaker Box

24 November, 2019 - Okategoriserade

Jennifer Snyder here to share a project I made using the new Holiday in the Alps collection. This is such a gorgeous collection to see up close, with amazing patterns, rich reds and frosty blues.

I created a home decor decorated box to fill with candy or a small gift. This box is unique because the lid has a beautiful shaker finishing the top of the box. The coordinating patterns in the Maja Design collections are always perfect for fabulous layered projects.

Here are the papers used on this decorated box:

Let it Snow ( A and B side of paper)

Snowmen

The box has been decorated using a combination of chipboard snowflakes from Creative Embellishments, and 3D Buttons from Buttons Galore and More.

I’ve added a vintage shaped snowflake shaker from Creative Embellishments to the top of the box that completes the frosty winter theme of the box.

If you look at the bottom of the image below, you’ll see a strip of paper around the edge of the box lid. This is one of those wonderful decorative edges that Maja places on the bottom of all sheets of paper. One side of the strip has the paper collection name and bar code. The other side always has a delightful pattern. I try and save the strips because they are perfect for finishing touches on projects and cards.

Thanks for stopping here. I wish you a wonderful holiday Christmas season and happy crafting.

Jennifer Snyder here to share Maja Design’s newest collections; Holiday in the Alps and Shades of the Alps (coordinating Monochrome papers)

Just in time for the coming holiday season! This is a rich and wonderful collection with gorgeous Christmas and winter images and patterns. And true to Maja Design’s unique style, this collection can be used through the year because the B side of the papers are classic patterns.

Below is an image of the Holiday In the Alps and Monochrome -Shades of the Alps collections. I used the “Santa Claus” . sheet from the collection – all shown below.

I really hated to cut such a gorgeous sheet of paper, but the images are absolutely spectacular and needed to be used on a card for someone to enjoy. I really had to fight off that desire to stash and hoard beautiful paper just to cut the paper. The resulting card makes me even happier than keeping that sheet of paper forever with no one ever seeing it on a project. Beautiful paper is meant to be used and shared.

I paired the new collection with some other products.

The chipboard shaker and pine cone branches are from Creative Embellishments and the shaker mix is from Buttons Galore and More.

Thank you for stopping.

Pumpkin Patch Card

Hello. Jennifer Snyder here sharing a festive card that is perfect for autumn. This card features the warm papers from “Enjoying Outdoors” paper collection from Maja Design.

The beautiful purples, warm browns and soft greens in the collection made me think of outdoor festivals and pumpkin patches.

This card also was inspired by Maja design’s Mood Board for October:

The papers used from Maja’s Enjoying Outdoors collection are:
Colorful
The Great Nature
Feeling Good
What A Beautiful Day

I like the non-traditional autumn pumpkins.

The little pumpkins and green leaves are from Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping here. Have a creative day.

Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary

Hello Maja Design friends. Jennifer Snyder here to share an anniversary card I created for my parents, using the Celebration collection.

My parents will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this week so I needed to create a special card but not overly frilly and embellished. I thought the Celebration collection was a perfect fit because the beautiful patterns are very neutral yet eye catching and gorgeous.

Here are the papers I used from the collection:

Welcome and Good Times (A and B sides of paper)

My parents are very earth natural people so the browns from the collection will be nice.

The card was embellished using chipboard from Creative Embellishments. The chipboard words sum of the essence of their 60 years of marriage – a family filled with love.

The chipboard family frame was backed with lace to set is apart from the paper layer underneath.

One last close up of gorgeous Maja Design paper layers on this card.

Thank you for stopping today. Happy crafting.
