 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.

Jennifer Snyder here to present a pop-up twist card featuring two of my favorite product combinations – beautiful fun papers from Maja Design in Sweden and wonderful Creative Embellishments chipboard.

Since this card is a pop-up twist card, it’s a bit of a surprise when it’s opened.  Add on the chipboard and it’s a real birthday treat complete with birthday cupcake.

I have used  Maja Design’s “Life in the Country” collection on my card. The collection is bright and happy and feels like a sunny day.  That is exactly the feeling one should have when opening a birthday card.  Well that’s the feeling I like to have.
These are the papers I chose:
In My Flower Bed (both A&B side of paper)
Summer Kitchen (both A&B side of paper)
Strawberries with Ice

As I mentioned, this pop-up twist card offers some surprises.

 

 

I used a variety of chipboard and veneer pieces from Creative Embellishments.  I like to keep them simple by painting or inking so that they do not over take the beauty of the papers – they are only accents.
The pop-up twist die is from Karen Burniston’s die collection.
Thanks for stopping here today.

Hello Maja Friends,

August – my favorite Summer month, though it is the last before the dull and rainy days come. However I like it more than any month.
So that is why I enjoy looking through the pictures taken this summer and to create something that is associated with this particular month.

I combined several Summer collections for my Layout – Summertime, Summer Crush and Life in the Country.

I tried to keep the red and greens on my layout, using the paper layers, and added some embellishments of yellow and orange.

I also stretched the colors from the photo – soft blue and pumpkin and played with the acrylic paints .

I added some fussy cutting, though I mixed the greens and reds from almost the same patterned papers.

So it’s time to enjoy each and every day this Summer, hope you will follow my advice.

Products used:

Prima Marketing flowers, 2Crafty chipboard, Wycinanka Chipboard, Pentart acrylic Paints.

Hello Maja Friends,

It’s my time to share April inspiration

This time I mixed the papers from different collections, I like to do it from time to time, especially when I have some leftovers after I have finished working on the album

My idea was to create 2 cards, and when you join them together as if they were the parts of the same puzzle.

I mixed Vintage Summer Basics and Life in the Country collections, so perfect for Spring – Summer projects

I miss so much these colors – blue and greens after the long winter

Hope that soon we can enjoy these colors .

Have a good week end

Prima Marketing flowers, Spellbinders Dies, Flourish with a Bling Pearls

Re-Purposed Gift Box for Summer

Jennifer Snyder here today to share a cheery decorated box.

This box was a chocolate box I had saved from Christmas.  I ate the chocolates ( I may have even hid them from my family) and then saved the box as if I always had it.  I can be super sneaky that way where chocolates are concerned.

I grabbed the gorgeous Maja Design collection called Life in the Country. Such a happy cheery collection that makes me think of a summer picnic.

These are the papers I used from the collection and shown in the image below:
Porch, Summer Kitchen, Our Deer Summer Cottage

The top of the box is decorated with a gorgeously fabulous die from Spellbinders called Spellbinders Shapabilities Die – Heirloom Oval.
I added white cardstock behind the die to really make the design pop.

Along with the die cuts, the box is embellished with some exquisite flowers from  Petaloo, some gold shimmery ribbon and gold floral berries.

The side of the box also has a diecut from the same Spellbinders die set as used on the top of the box.  This view of the side provides an exquisite view of how wonderfully the patterns of the paper match and coordinate.

I added paper to the inside of the box as well.  Helps cover up the fact that I actually ate a whole box of chocolates.  Chocolates?  What chocolates.  Not me!  hahahaa

Another view of the top and the beautiful papers.
