Denim & Girls : MajaDesign

Summer greetings

2 July, 2019 - Denim & Girls

Hi everyone! I am back with a Summer card for you. I really hope you are enjoying the Summer. Here in Norway it is raining at the moment. And I wish for some sunny days.

The image from Magnolia is coloured with Distress Ink, on water colour paper. I use a paper called Bockingford 300g. It has a really smooth surface which is perfect for the Distresses. Can you spot which papers I have used? Yes, it is the lovely Denim & Girls papers!

I have cut out the flowers from those papers, ofcourse! Then using dies from Magnolia. I cut out the flowers, then I spray the paper with water, curl them up, and let them to dry. Then you get the crunchy look. I also paint over them with white Gesso.

Under you get a better look of how the card is built up.

And those gorgeous flowers.

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Design blog!

With love,

Go With Your Heart

Hello Maja fans!

Today, I would like to share a new layout made for my June inspiration using papers from the gorgeous ”Denim & Girls” & ”Denim & Friends” collections. I’ve also used 49 and Market flowers, Dusty Attic chipboard, lace and Finnabair moulds to embellish my page and achive a romantic and elegant feeling.

As always I found my photo on Pinterest and before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

I used the ”Worn Indigo” paper and made a layer on the half bottom side of it with the ”Loose Fit” paper. To start, I applied a coat of clear gesso and then, I created texture with an icing paste and a stencil. When the paste dried, I randomly stamped and used a Lindy’s Gang spray to add color.

Next, I painted the chipboard with a Finnabair acrylic paint.

Then, I layered all the gorgeous elements around my photo and added in some 49 and Market flowers.

Papers used:

: Worn Indigo

: Loose Fit

I hope you enjoyed my project!

Until next time happy crafting!

Hello friends. Jennifer Snyder here to share a slider shaker card created with the marvelous Denim & Girls collection, with fun, flirty, playful and sophisticated designs in one collection.

These are the papers used from the collection:

Romantic Blouse

Amazing

Girls in Jeans – (gorgeous die cut sheet – journal image sheet)

I had a chance to use a new die from Spellbinders I thought would be a perfect match for the collection. You can judge for yourself.

This is a closeup of the shaker card in it’s upright position. It’s filled with fun shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More.

Here is a side view of the shaker. The die cut journal card is a nice surprise when the card is opened. The images on the journal cards are absolutely fabulous and really accent the fun, flirty, playful nature of the collection.

Thank you for stopping here today.

Thank You Teacher Cards

Good morning Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

In less than a fortnight Polish schoolchildren will be free from school until September 🙂 So it’s an intensive time of last chances to get better grades and thank your teachers. And so for today I have two simple thank you teacher cards to share:

Just as with the Denim&Friends collection, I wanted to check whether the feminine version, Denim&Girls, would make masculine projects too 😉 And so I used these papers to make a feminine and a masculine card. I used the same design for both cards, so only the paper patterns make a difference. The she-teacher card features a hint of pink and some flower patterns:

And the he-teacher version shows off some geometrical designs and darker colour palette:

And so again, it turns out you can use Maja Design papers for any project and theme, and you are not limited to its original theme 🙂

Here’s what I used for my cards:

Maja Design papers:

: Ripped Jeans-bs

: You’re a star-bs

: Tight fit

: Tight fit-bs

: Loose fit-bs

: Floral top

: Floral top-bs

Other: flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; dies: Spellbinders; stamp: Lemonade; brads: Craftmania; charms: my stash.

I hope the teachers who get the cards would feel appreciated! After all, they are like second parents to our kids 🙂

See you soon!

Romantic & Cool

Welcome creative friends!

I don’t know I you have seen my latest layout ‘My fave Jeans’

with the newest Maja Design collection ‘Denim & Girls’.

I used some parts from my sorted out jeans.

But it’s not necessary to cut up your favorite jeans ;-)!!

As Marie says:” If you want that denim-feel but don’t want to cut your jeans apart

you can always use the denim-looking sheets of the Denim & Friends collection,

they do match the Denim & Girls line perfectly.”

But my favorite jeans also had wonderful pockets :-)! and they had to be used in a handicrafts project. I like to wear jeans and love the combination with delicate white lace blouses or cool T-shirts. With a pair of jeans you are always dressed right., a real inspiration source.
