Walking in the Forest : MajaDesign

Sweet Fall Tag

21 October, 2013 - Tags, Walking in the Forest

Hi Maja fans! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend. Since fall has really arrived in my country, I was in the mood to create a tag with an autumn feel to it. This time I used the gorgeous “Walking in the Forest” papers to make a tag with a warm colour palette of orange, green and cream.

For my background I used four different sheets of paper: ‘Fresh Air-bs’, ‘Knitted sweater’, ‘When leaves are…bs-‘ and ‘Die cut sheet’. I also made a doily from the ‘Die cut sheet’ with a Cheery Lynn die. The floral wreath was made with a die as well and is made of the gorgoeus ‘Knitted sweater’ paper.

Of course I just had to cut out a few butterflies and add them to my tag as well. The large butterfly was cut out from the “Die Cut Sheet”, whereas the tiny butterflies were cut out from one of the border strips from the papers.

Supplies:

Maja Design: patterned papers (Walking in the Forest collection: ‘Die Cut Sheet’, ‘When leaves are falling-bs’, ‘Knitted Sweater’, ‘Fresh Air-bs’); Prima Marketing: resin birdhouse, clock face; Tim Holtz: tag die, distress ink; Cheery Lynn: doily die; Memory Box: floral wreath die; Joy! Crafts: clouds dies; Other: seam binding.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful week!

30 September, 2013 - Layouts, Vintage Autumn Basics, Walking in the Forest

Write a comment

Happy Monday!! I’ve been working with the new Vintage Autumn Basics collection and I can tell you how beautiful it is, this time I chose the burgundy and rose colors to make a page about my mom in the 70’s.

I did my usual paper draped to create dimension on my page and combined with some gesso and textured paste.

I made some fussy cutting from the Heritage paper(tag) and No.XVI paper(clocks). I used Scrapmatts chipboard.

In this page I used: No. V, No.VI, No.XVI and Heritage papers from the Vintage Autumn Basics collection.

I also made another page last week that I would like to share with you. I used the “Walking in the Forest” collection, love the autumn colors…

I made this page about me and I mixed different mediums, masks, stamps and paints to create my background work.

I cut these beautiful butterflies from the die cut sheet.

Supplies: Birdsong, Die cut sheet, Fresh air,When leaves are papers from Walking in the Forest Collection, Molding Paste, Gesso, Prima masks, Prima flower.

I hope this inspire you! Until next time!!

Good morning Maja Friends. Elena is here to share some Fall inspiration with you.

I adore this time of the year and so happy that I have managed to make some shots of my family members this year. No doubt that Walking In the Forest Collection suits so perfectly for these photos.

I did many layers, using some paper scraps as well as tearing

Also I added just partly some misting with Shimmerz Spritz, it reminds me about some frosty mornings, as well as the sky during the Autumn has its special deep dreamy color.

Beaded glass texture paste on the background adds some natural look as if you are on the walk in Forest. Branches and flowers, that is all that you need for an Autumn Bouquet.

I added acrylic embellishments – a Lamp and a Frame, aren’t they are prefect for a vintage feel?

No matter that it’s just a baby, I adore this truly masculine color combo, as it reminds me about warm cozy clothes and hot tasty cuisine.

Have a great week end and don’t forget to walk in the park or forest for some Fall inspiration too. I am sure you will love it.

Products used:

Maja Design Papers – Walking In the Forest Collection: Maple, Cozy scarf, Flannel shirt, Knitted sweather; Clear Scraps – acrylic embellishments and Mascils; Manor House Creations flowers; Liquitex Gel Medium, Beaded Glass Texture Paste; Shimmerz Spritz; Ranger Alcohol Inks, Staz – On Inks.

Wow, I am waiting on pins and needles for these papers! Getting them in the USA has been a bit of a hunt, but so worth it! Anxious for more places to carry it and more inventory in the ones that do! So love your product and working with it makes my heart smile!

And of course we couldn’t resist Eulanda’s phone issues… We can’t ruin her economy, can we…

Fall mini album

Hi ! Flo here, i’m back as promised to show you a new project. A mini album made with the gorgeous « Walking in the forest » collection. The « Die cut sheet » paper with a lots of design allows to enhance the pages of the mini album.

Here are the pictures of my mini album, « The Mushroom picking ».

Here are a few tips for creating this mini album.
First here’s a little tip for the layout of your pages. If you are a little lost when you make a mini album and want to more easily create a uniform and balanced project I suggest you do like me.
Cut several papers, labels and gather some coordinated embellishments. Then place your different pages in front of you and place your embellishments here and there.
Move your items until everything looks balanced. Then place your photos and paste everything.

To make the leaves I firstly printed on internet the shape and then I tracings on paper. Then just add an eyelet.

Finally, here is a simple way to showcase the beautiful drawing of this beautiful collection from Maja Design. Cut out the design of your choice and place it in a metal embellishments with an epoxy sticker.
