Good morning, Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

Before I get into the Christmas mood with the latest Christmas Wonderland collection, let me share one more purely autumn project 🙂 Here’s the card I made with the absolutely beautiful Autumn Poem collection:

There are so many great patterns in this set that I really couldn’t make up my mind! Finally I chose the plaid paper that showcases all the colours of the palette and the handwriting paper for the background. Then I added a sentiment stamped upon striped paper:

I put in an initial so that the card can be given to a person whose name begins with “A” (fun fact: number one female name in Poland is “Anne” – more than a million 🙂 What’s number one in your country?). Under the letter I placed a beautiful autumn bouquet image from the small pad of papers:

I decorated the card with stamped and hand-coloured images of autumn fruit and leaves and completed the cluster with leaves cut out from the  back side of the large pad cover. To finish the card off I added pearls and sequins:

I’m really glad with the way the card turned out: filled with the colours of autumn, heartwarming and cozy 🙂 Also, despite many layers, the card easily goes into an envelope!

And here’s the list of the products I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: stamps: Agateria; die: Magnolia; sequins, pearls: my stash.

That’s all for today, thank you for visiting and see you soon!

Good morning, Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

It seems that summer has come to an end in Poland, with days getting visibly shorter and the air cooler with more and more rain… So perhaps it’s time to get into the autumn mood with the beautiful Bohemian Harmony collection that I used to make a wedding card:

I took inspiration for embellishing the card from the papers themselves: I recreated the flower cluster from the flower bouquets paper with flowers in matching colours and die-cut and chipboard leaves and twigs:

… and repeated the circle pattern of the background paper with a doily motif applied with white texture paste and a stencil in two corners of the card:

I mounted the paper layers on foam dots to make the card more dimensional:

 

And here’s what I used for my card:

Maja Design papers:

Other: flowers: Prima Marketing, Wild Orchid Crafts; stencil, chipboard pieces: Agateria; dies: Memory Box, Marianne Design, Spellbinders; gems: Prima Marketing.

 

I think the Bohemian Harmony collection is perfect for the late-summer and early-autumn projects, with its warm colours and soft patterns! What do you think?

That’s all for today, thank you for visiting and see you soon!

 Hi there lovely friends,

Welcome to the blog today for this post I made two cards with some amazing 2Crafty Chipboard pieces. I made them in two different shades one in teal/aqua and the other one in darkpink/licht pink. For these cards I have used two collections of Maja Design papers.

My/Your Daydream:

 I treated the chipboard with flat fabio’s {danny zuko’s denim} twice and then I used three different waxes on them and cut them in two parts to place them in my flower cluster after they where all dried up. In the end I used some nuvo crystal drops on the circles. The Cards are made out of three layers that I distressed around the edges.

On the background of my layers I added a stencil and some spray.

Maja Design papers used:

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely Maja Design papers and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny weekend!

Hugs

Good morning, Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

There are several occasions to celebrate in June, like Children’s Day and Father’s Day, but I guess no other June day is so eagerly awaited by so many: the end of the school year 🙂 Apart from marking the beginning of the much-desired summer holidays, it’s also a chance to thank the teachers. And so I made two cards for this occasion to bring to you today 🙂

I used our latest release, the Everyday Life collection. In the first card I used chipboard elements embossed with gold ep – they add elegance to the simple design with the beautiful sunflowers bouquet image. I also added the book image to make the card more “teacherish” 🙂

In the second card I applied a stencil pattern upon the background paper using translucent glitter paste – it added glam and texture while not obscuring the paper pattern. Then I added chipboard pieces and in the centre I put a stamped books image, decorated with the paper-piecing technique:

Even though the cards are layered and dimensional, they’ll still fit into envelopes! 🙂

And here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: stamp, chipboard pieces, stencil: Agateria; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; pearls: ScrapbBerry’s.

That’s all for today, thank you for visiting and see you later 🙂

Hello  sweet maja fans,

Lenet herre and today I bring you this congratulate card for some one who just has a new home.

Both our daughter and son are trying to find a home for themself, but because there is a big shortage for homes I think it can take a while before the finally find one.

Of course I hope they find one soon and I can sent this card to either one of them on thier new home adress.

 

I made this card using the Bohemian Harmony Collection. The chippies I used are from scrapaholics, I colored them with acrylic paints.

The stamps are som golden oldies from Waltzing mouse.

I hope you like my card and hope to see you again soon.
