Fun Fabulous Festive Christmas Cards from Around the World

15 December, 2016 - Cards, Maja Features

Hello and Season’s Greetings. Jennifer Snyder here today to share some Christmas Cards that were created from our friends around the world.

Recently Maja Design held a Christmas Card challenge on Facebook. We asked followers on Facebook to share their Christmas Cards with us and were surprised and amazed at the jaw dropping responses. Gorgeous and clever cards poured in from all over – United Kingdom, Spain, Russia, USA, Canada, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Australia, and many other places.

I can’t think of any better way to say Merry Christmas than to present the Christmas cards in the order they were entered. You can see all the entries right here. Thanks to all who posted Christmas Cards!

Jennifer Snyder here to thanking more of our wonderful Facebook fans. More fans, more tagging, means more folks to feature and thank. We want to celebrate and feature followers who regularly share their art by “tagging ” us on Facebook.

“Tagging” is a Great Way to Share on Facebook

The great thing about “tagging” Maja Design is that you do not need to make multiple posts. You simply need to make just one post to your timeline and you are done. That one “tag” means the wonderful folks at Maja Design get to see your work as well as all the Maja fans around the world. Now the whole world can admire and be awestruck over your amazing talent and your clever design. You are an instant crafting “rock star”!

Meet the Featured Artists

Meet Kristina Peshko.

“I am very excited and enjoy for the second time, to be writing for a blog that inspires me. My name is Kristina and I have been following Maja Design for three years now. I live in Russia, in the Urals, city of Yekaterinburg. I have two favorite boys, my husband Alexander and son Maxim.

Most of all, I love creating scrapbook albums, but I like to do everything from small to complex, participate in exchanges, alter books, and create canvases. “

I asked Kristina what her favorite collection was. Very difficult choice for her but she said it was probably Vintage Summer Basics because it was the first collection she saw from Maja Design. You can see more of Kristina’s work on her blog found right here.

“I live in Odder Denmark. I enjoy making cards but I also enjoy playing with Mixed Media. I mostly make cards and do not have a favorite color combination. I just love all colors. It is very difficult to pick a favorite Maja Design collection…they are all so beautiful But “Ska vi ta en Fika?” and “Vintage Summer Basics” are both very , very lovely collections. With these collections I can make cards for any occasion.”

Jennifer Snyder here for the second day to feature our wonderful Facebook fans. These are followers who regularly share their art by “tagging ” us on Facebook. What do I mean by “tagging” and how does one actually “tag” Maja Design? Great questions.

What Does It Mean to “Tag” on Facebook

“Tagging” is a great way to share on Facebook.

When I tag someone on a Facebook post, it means the post I created on my timeline will also appear on that person’s timeline. Let’s say I want to add a beautiful photo of my husband to my timeline. I want my husband to see it so I will tag my husband in my post. At that point, my post will be shares on his timeline for all his friends and followers to see. You can “tag” people and you can “tag” companies as well. If I post a card using Maja Design, I can “tag” Maja Design and the artwork will appear in Maja’s Facebook page.

How to “Tag” on Facebook

Tagging is easy. I’ll stick to the example of my husband. As I am writing my Facebook post, I can start typing his name and list of names will usually appear for me to select. Once selected, the “tagged” name will have a highlighted color – mine “tag”appears as blue type. “Tagging” a company requires you to simply type @ before the name. So I would type @Maja Design, and a list of names should appear to select. That’s all there is to “tagging”.

Today I would like to acknowledge the artwork of some wonderful artists who regularly “tag” Maja Design.

“My name is Pia Baunsgaard – in scrap world is my nickname piabau. I live 20 km outside Copenhagen, Denmark. I make most card but also like to decorate boxes, make albums and home decor. I love the combination of all blue and brown colors. I find it difficult to choose a particular favorite from Maja design papers because I think each is unique, I love these papers.”

You can find more of Pia’s work on her blog: piabau.blogspot.dk

Marie lives in Aalesund, Norway. She prefers to make cards but also enjoys boxes and mini albums. As you can tell from the images posted below, she likes pastels. Among her favorite colors to use are offwhite/white and pink,blue or purple. Marie says it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite Maja collection but since I made her, she choose Vintage Summer Basics and Vintage Autumn Basics for the gorgeous colours and prints.

You can find Marie’s blog right here.

“My name is Wendy Scholten, I am 34 years old. I live in the netherlands in a small town called Kwitsheul. I’m married to Peter and have a little girl, Lisa, who is almost 3 years old. I have been scrapbooking since 2005 and never stopped since. I like to make lay-outs, canvasses, mini albums and also like to alter objects. And I love to use a lot of embellishments as well as lace. Wendy’s favorite collection from Maja Design is vintage summer basics!”
