”Cherish”

13 November, 2016 - I Wish, Layouts

Hello Maja fans and welcome to the blog today!

This my second christmasy project using the ”I wish” collection and this time I made a layout. I can’t believe that we are already so close to Christmas… I love that season and I’m full with the Christmas spirit! And, that beautiful photo from pinterest was just perfect for the layout I had in my mind… of course, I want to give all the proper credits to the photographer.

I used the ”I wish those memories will last” as my main paper and I torn it vertical on the left side. I placed under it, three layers of two papers, one from the same paper, one from the backside of the same paper and lastly one of the ”I wish for frosty mornings”. Among the papers Ι added some lace and a few pieces of doilies.

I designed my background with modeling paste and a stencil over a coat of clear gesso. I colored it with ”Dark Chocolate Truffle” and ”Clam Bake Beige” Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists. I also made splatters with white 13arts Splash ink to highlight it a little bit. When dried I made some random stamping and the background was ready to glue everything down.

I heat embossed the chipboards with two powders, first with the ”Desert Moon Copper Pine” and then with the ”Cafe au Lait”. All the chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

As a final touch, I added some mica flakes in ”Henna” and some ”Melange Art Pebbles”.

Papers used:

Winter is Magic Mini Album

11 November, 2016 - I Wish, Mini albums

Write a comment

Hello crafters, the winter is officially has come to my place, so I hope that it will give me more inspiration for Christmas and Winter projects.

and today I’ve got a mini album I made using brand new collection I wish.

I wish there would be Spring and Fall Seasons all year round, however in some cases Winter is beautiful too.

I wish I could spend all 3 months in a wooden house in the Forest, however I live in a busy city.

So my mini album is all about my small wishes and I enjoyed creating it.

I cut out some of the images, added crochet and fabric trims to make it look more cozy and soft.

I also added a rotating element, when there is some intercative things in my albums.

The paper sheet with the cards is perfect for filling your album with the images.

The snowmen are what the kids like most of all in my mini.

However I added some flowers and leaves, to make it look more festive.

I think I need to create more minis this season. and what about you, do you like making mini albums?

Supplies:

: I wish you a Happy Holiday

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the I Wish collection. I chose an old photo of my father struggling to repair his bike on a snowy day. I think that the photo was taken in the 50’s.

First I primed the background with clear gesso. Then I added the first design with a colorful Archival ink and a stencil. I stamped with a black Archival ink randomly around my design.

I mixed a metallic acrylic paint with 3D Gloss Gel to add a second design. I let dry before adding some colors.

While the background was drying, I die-cut some gears in a heavyweight watercolor paper. I painted them with the Rust Effect pastes and added a light touch of the metallic paint.

I glued all the elements and splattered some white ink.

To finish the layout I added some micro beads and mica flakes.

Christmas Cards

Posted by Maja Nowak

9 November, 2016 - Cards, I Wish

Write a comment

Good morning, Maja Design friends, welcome to the blog today!

I can’t believe we’re already a decade into November – when has this year flown by? We’ve just been on summer holidays, got ready to school a moment ago, and now it’s time to begin making Christmas cards not to be too late with it 😉 And so for my today’s post I have two warm-up Christmas cards I made using – of course – our latest Christmas collection, I Wish.

For my cards, I combined both 12×12″ and 6×6″ papers so that the patterns are best visible. One of the cards features a die-cut candle table decor that is very popular in Poland 🙂

I chose the classic plaid pattern for the background so that the white diecut would be standing out:

I covered the mistletoe wreath of the diecut with a more dimensional flower cluster. I just love small details such as the berry twig image brad!

The other card features a lighter colour palette and a shaker box in the centre:

The shaker box is not very “high”, as I wanted the card to fit into an envelope so that it can be mailed. I chose the mistletoe pattern for my background and wrapped paper layers with ribbon and lace:

For the image inside the shaker box, I chose the I Wish Santa Got My Letter paper, or its right hand lower corner, to be precise 😉 and stamped my sentiment onto the tag. Then I added some glitter, snowflakes and sequins before closing the shaker. I also die-cut the poinsettia from one of the papers so that it matches the colour perfectly:
