 Hello crafty friends.  Jennifer Snyder here today with some all purpose cards for the summer.  And the perfect Maja Design papers for the summer?  yep, Life by the Sea.
This collection has always been one of my favorite classic collections.
This collection is also wonderful for creating projects with layers.

The papers used are :

Navigate
Landmark
The East Coast
Marina Hovering
These two cards also feature chipboard from Creative Embellishments.
  
The treatment on the chipboard is simple.  I added white acrylic paint to a dry sea sponge and dabbed the chipboard.  The sea sponge has an irregular surface with holes here and there much like Swiss cheese.  The irregular surface allows the paint to be dabbed softly without full coverage like a paint brush would.
Thanks so stopping here today.  Happy crafting.

Jennifer Snyder with you today for some shaker card boy cuteness using a classic collection from Maja Design – Life by the Sea.  The papers featured today are:
Marina
Sailing
Bottle Message

This collection has wonderful strong nautical images and colors which I adore for so many occasions but I especially adore when using on a project for a baby boy.

A little about the products used on this card:
The chipboard shaker is from Creative Embellishments and is back with some royal blue textured foil paper from Rinea. The beautiful rich shaker mix and 3D nautical themed buttons are from Buttons Galore and More.  They are the prefect finishing touch for the shaker card.

 

Thank you for stopping here today.

 suitable to the sea inspired theme I punched out different circles as bubbles

I love it to use natural material, here some self-collected sea shells and some fabric leftovers

Celebrate with A Slider Card Using Two Collections

 Jennifer Snyder here today sharing a traditional card with a surprising twist – it’s a slider card.  I chose two collections to mix to complete the look of my card – papers from the collections; Life by the Sea and Life in the Country.  Maja Design collections can often be mixed  – it’s part of the charm and versatility of Maja Design collections.
 These are the papers I used from the Life By the Sea collection
 Drop the Anchor
Bottled Message
West Coast
The paper from Life in the Country collection:
Strawberries with Ice
The slider card is a die set from Spellbinders and was so much fun to use.
This is a special card because it’s going to be sent across the world to my nephew who is serving overseas in the military.
A card is a great way to say, “Hello, you are special and I am thinking of you.”  But an interactive slider card says, “Wow!  You are loved, super special AND I really miss you.”
This is a close up of the slider car when it’s open.  Fun, right?  So many possibilities when you mix Maja Design collections.

Here is one last look at the card.

Thanks for stopping here today.
Go grab some Maja Design papers, make a special card and send someone a hug.

Look for cooling?!
