Spring Floral Tulip Cards

4 April, 2021 - Okategoriserade

Hello Maja Design Friends. Jennifer Snyder here celebrating Spring with some floral cards.

Today I combined two Maja Design collections to create my cards; the Little Street Cafe Collection, Fika collection and Miles Apart. These are the individual sheets from the collections: “Feeling Good” paper from Little Street Cafe; “Be Safe” and “Distance” from Miles Apart; and “Hemgjord saft” from Fika.

Be safe

The first spring card combines the yellow/gold color from Little Street Cafe with the beautiful purple tones of Fika.

The dies for the flowers are from Spellbinders.

This card uses the papers from Miles Apart. The delicate foliage pattern looks great with pink gingham paper.

I adore gingham as if that were not obvious in the brown gingham ribbon on the first card as well as the pink gingham ribbon on this card.

Thank you for stopping here.

Hello. Jennifer Snyder here sharing a large shaker tag made for my granddaughter to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. She’s 9 months old and this is her first St. Patrick’s Day – which happens to be a big deal in my household because my husband is in a band that features Irish music for the local pubs in New York, where we live.

This is my interpretation of “baby Irish” – using Maja Design’s classic Fika collection, still my favorite collection for it’s rich chocolate browns, , creams, greens and purples. Just thinking about it makes me feel like a chocolaty treat.

Here are the images and papers I used from the collection: Chokadmuffins, Favoriter, Apple, Kärleksmums

Now then, don’t those beautiful paper images don’t make you hungry? Yum.

Here is a close up of the beautiful papers and the chipboard teddy bear shaker from Creative Embellishments. It’s filled with shaker mix from Buttons Galore, to help make the shaker “come to life”. The shaker mix adds that “bit’o lucky charm”, as my husband would say.

Thank you for stopping here today. Enjoy.

Sending a Hug – Slide Card using Miles Apart Collection

Hello friends. Jennifer Snyder here today to share a slider greeting card created using the 6×6 paper pad from the ” Miles Apart” collection. My choice in using this collection rises from a dark and gloomy winter in the COVID era. I believe everyone could use both Spring and a hug. This collection makes me think of both with gorgeous florals and delicate prints combined in lovely soft colors.

The images of the papers from the 6×6 paper pad are below: “Distance” A and B side of paper, and “Stay Creative”. I also featured the Monochrome collection, Shades of Miles”. The matching solids are perfectly coordinated for the Miles Apart papers and help make crafting easier.

Distance

This is a slider card with flaps that pull from the sides to create a stage with a scene when opened. I am sure this will bring a smile to to person who slides it open revealing a hug.

The dies used in this card are from Spellbinders brand new “Make A Scene” collection by Becca Feeken. There are several scenes to make but I choose the window scene overlooking my Maja Design garden.

Happy crafting my friends. I hope you have a fabulous day.

For the Love of Dogs – Cards to Celebrate Dogs

Hello friends. Jennifer Snyder here to celebrate dogs.

Pets are so important in our lives. They are family members and our best friends so I think it’s important to reach out and celebrate when someone I know adds a pet to the family or has to say farewell.

Today’s cards uses two collections, Miles Apart and a sheet from Holiday in the Alps. I also used the monochrome solid color sheet from the fabulous coordinating Monochrome collection, Shades of Miles.

Here’s a list of the 12×12 sheets used from the collections:

Miles Apart – Miss you (B side)

Miles Apart – Phone Call

Miles Apart – Stay Home

Miles Apart – Safe and Sound

Holiday In the Alps – Winter Night

I created cards for boy and girl dogs. No I’m not sure if people care, but I certainly try to be considerate of the owners sensitivity. If I know the dog is a boy, I’m going to try to be mindful. That’s just me.

The dies used in the cards today are an old classic die from Spellbinders (Pawing Around – Dog). Isn’t that a sweet die?

The stamped sentiment is from Stampendous called Puppy Frames.

Thanks for stopping here today. Happy Crafting
