Hello Spring!

16 April, 2020 - Okategoriserade

Hi everyone! I hope you and your families are ok in this strange and unreal days. We are staying positive and like everyone else, we can’t wait till this is over. Strangley enough this situation is taking more energy from me than I thought, and I haven’t manage to make many cards. But as I have some dates to post here on the blog, I have made this Spring card with some gorgeous MajaDesign Vintage Spring Basics papers.

I have cut out the cute bird house with some yellow Spring papers. The white you see here and there is white Gesso that I have painted with a flat broad brush.

Also the small butterflies are cut out from the gorgeous papers. There are sheets in the collection that are covered with butterflies, that you can cut our and put them on your creations.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The image is and many of the dies are from Magnolia. I have painted the image with Distress Ink re-inkers and Markers. I use from 2-3 hours painting one image. So it is not done in a sweep!

I have painted the image in pink, but I didn’t want to make a pink card. So I have toned it a bit down, using more yellow and beige papers from the Vintage Spring Basics collection. Only the feathers I have cut out are pink.

I hope you like my card! Thank you for visiting the MajaDesign blog today.

With love,

Happy Easter

Hello sweet Maja Fans.

Lenet here today and I bring you this Happy Eastercard.

I hope you and your loved ones are safe from this nasty virus , and wish the ones who caught it a safe and quick recovery.

To bring you a little happy nesss I made you this card. Using the Vintage spring collection.

I did some stitching around the edges with my sewing machine. I always love the look of it.

At the back of the centerpiece a added a glittered frame from tattered angels. and some cisal to make a little nest look.

A big soft yellowbow to compleet it all .

The flowers are from my own stash.

I used a piece of strip from the vintage spring 2nd of March for the sentiment on my card.

with this card I wish you all a Happy Easter and stay safe..

Happy Easter

Good morning, dear Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today!

Although Easter is supposed to be the most joyful celebration of the year, this year is different. We’re globally suffering from the pandemic and the feelings of joy, happiness and the glory of life through Christ’s resurrection seem distant and muted by the invisible virus and restrictions it put over our everyday life. But if we are to overcome this, we must stay strong! We must take care of ourselves and of others by – paradoxical as it is – distancing from them and not endangering anybody with unnecessary contact. Therefore I decided NOT to send Easter cards this year – so that post workers are safer and my family and friends as well. And that’s why I made just one card for this season and will be sending a photo of it with my wishes:

I made the card using the latest Maja collection, Little Street Cafe and used the largest X-cut dies to give it an egg form – just love making paper Easter eggs! 🙂

Although I make egg cards each year, I nonetheless try to include a different symbol every time. This year I decided to use the Paschal candle. It represents the light of the risen Christ coming to the world, the light that dispels darkness, and the victory of life over death. Isn’t it a perfect symbol for these gloom days?

I decorated the Paschal with lilies – symbols of love, purity and resurrection and catkins – popular elements of Polish Easter palms. I embossed the stamped sentiment with gold ep and added some sequins for more festive glam.

And here’s the list of my supplies:

Maja Design papers:

: Delisious

: Feeling good-bs

: Vanilla

Other: dies: X-cut, I Love Craft, Crat&You Design; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; stamp: Lemonade; sequins: my stash.

And so this is the card that I won’t be sending to anyone, but to everyone! 🙂 With heartfelt wishes of peace, blessing and joy to fill your hearts and homes.

Happy Easter!

Welcome to Maja Design’s blog. Jennifer Snyder here sharing a card on the romantic side to celebrate an engagement. Exciting news means I get to make a card. Yippee.

The paper used on this card is from a Maja Design classic collection, Coffee in the Arbour.

The papers are: Blueberry Cupcake (A and B side). The background paper is Lovely Weather.

The accents on this card are silver foil and silver metallic buttons from Buttons Galore. I like the blue – silver combination because silver goes perfectly with the blues in the paper. This collection is soft and delicate and truly one of my favs for many years.

I used a die set from Spellbinders to create the car and the embellishments.

Thanks for visiting today.

The Hope for this Spring
