Hello, friends! It’s getting cold outside, but you have the warmest of welcomes here at the Maja Design Blog. It’s Nancy with here, presenting another holiday card featuring the brand new ‘I wish’ paper collection.

There is nothing that brings more joy than seeing the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a child. This sweet little girl, fussy cut from the paper collection, is my inspiration for today’s card.

There are several layers here. Each layer is distressed, stitched, layered, and popped up with foam adhesive. I’m trying to capture the dimension in my photos, though it doesn’t always show up as well as I would like it to.

The sentiment card above is also part of the collection. The stunning ephemera and vintage inspired images included in ‘I wish’ truly capture the imagination. They make holiday crafting a cinch!

Snow capped greenery, glass pearls, liquid snow, and a twine bow provide a finishing touch.

Layout

Hello my friends and happy Sunday to all!!!

Mary here with you today to share my latest layout featuring the beautiful Christmasy ”I Wish” collection.

When I found that beautiful photo on Pinterest, I though it is time to design a Christmas layout. After all it’s that time of year, right?

But, before I continue I want to give all the proper credits to the photographer.

Photo 1

For my background, I used the ”I wish you a Merry Christmas” paper and behind my photo I placed a die cut doily made from the ”I wish for a holly jolly Christmas” paper.

Photo 2

First, I gave my paper a coat of clear gesso and then I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Then, I used Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists, ”Rudolph’s Nose Red” and ”Silent Night Silver” with some water to make a watercolor effect. I also added some splatters with ”Lucky Shamrock Green” and ”Midnight Randezvous Raven”.

Photo 3

I heat embossed the floral chipboards with ”Midnight Gold”, the square frame and the title with ”Terra Cotta Rust” Lindy’s embossing powders. The little pieces of the circle lace panel were also heat embossed with ”Scotch Broom Yellow”. All the chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

Photo 4

As a final touch, I made some splatters with white splash ink and when dried I added some bronze microbeads.

Papers used:

Well, that’s all for today, my friends!

See you again in two weeks!

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the “I wish” collection as well as the castle of Montresor (Loire Valley, France).

Montresor Castle by Pascale

As usual, I started to apply a layer of clear gesso to the background. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste. I let dry naturally to obtain a better result.

In the meantime, I colored the flowers with some Primary Elements.

Montresor Castle by Pascale

I die cut some flowers and leaves.  I altered the blooming branches with the Rust Effect Paste as well as the leaves. But I colored the last one with  a green watercolor too.

When everything was dry, I colored the background with different colors of Twinkling H2Os. When happy with the result, I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

To finish the layout, I added some glass  glitter, some micro beads as well as some mica flakes.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m on Maja Design blog  with a new album made with the I Wish collection.

I Wish album by Pascale

I used the strips at the base of the papers to decorated the cover. After having glued them, I painted them lightly with gesso.

Then I added some embellishments: flowers, die cuts, doilies, …

I kept the inside design simple. A few papers, some die-cut doilies, …

I stamped randomly the pages with two stamps and I embossed one of the two designs as well as the edges of the background papers.
