Good morning, dear Maja Friends, welcome to the blog today!

I’m sure you’ve already seen the latest release by Maja Design – two gorgeous collections, Autumn Poem and Christmas Wonderland 🙂 I’m so happy to have them both arrive safely and I can tell you: they are even more gorgeous in real life! 😀 And I cut them both the same day they came! So without further ado let me share a wedding card I made using the colourful, romantic and warm Autumn Poem collection:

I really love the soft colours and subtle patterns of this colelction! I chose three papers for the background, distressed the edges and layered them. But to include even more patterns, I hand-cut mini tags and included them in the flower cluster:

The flower cluster is built around a beautiful flourish chipboard frame with gold wedding rings inside. The flowers repeat the colour palette of the papers. I completed the cluster with delicate lace, shiffon ribbon and glitter sequins:

The card is quite dimensional, so it requires a box:

Here’s the list of what I used to make the card:

Maja Design papers:

Other: flowers: Prima, Wild Orchid Crafts; chipboard: Miszmasz Papierowy; die: CreaLies; lace, ribbon, sequins, rings: my stash.

 

Thank you for visiting here today, and see you soon!

Welcome friends.  This is Jennifer Snyder.

As I anxiously await the arrival of Maja Design’s newest Christmas collection, “Christmas Wonderland” to my doorstep, I will dig into the classic collections of years past to start my cards for the season.

These cards used Maja Design’s “Christmas Season” collection.

The paper names are: “Holly Jolly” (A and B sides of paper), “Advent”(A and B sides of paper) and my own gold foil paper.

Advent Advent-bs

As I mentioned, Maja Design’s new collection,  “Christmas Wonderland” , is shipping now.  Look for this amazing collection in your favorite on-line store.

Here is a preview:

Thanks for stopping here today.

Hello Sweet Maja Fans,

Today I bring you this slim line card made with the bautiful paper collection of Everyday Life.

Summer is over and besides rain we had some beautiful warm autmn weather, and that is the feeling I wanted to give with this card.

I did some fuzzy cutting with the sun flowers and leaves  and used them behind some mulberry flowers.

Here a picture taken from the side.

and a close up from the centerpiece on the card.

Thank you very much for visiting.

I hope you like my card and I wish you a lovely autumn with nice weather to take walks so you can watch all the beautiful colors autumn has for you .

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

For a couple of years newborn photoshoots have been immensely popular and no wonder they have – babies grow up so fast and we have just a couple of weeks to take such photos, which makes them even more precious. I regret that when my kids were born such photoshoots were rare, but it makes me so happy when I have a chance to scrapbook a photo of such a tiny human being 🙂 Here’s one such layout I made:

I used a mixture of collections to match the blue shades of the photo, and combined it with soft beige and gold for a delicate baby layout.

First, I applied the stars pattern upon the background paper using a stencil, and when the pearl paste was dry, I added gold metallic stars over some of the stars:

I arranged the title by mixing chipboard letters with a piece of a signature strip from one of the papers:

I used some more pieces from signature strips as a kind of journaling:

…or as a decorative border across the page 🙂

To finish the layout off, I used scraps of various papers to make a banner garland under the photo:

I really love the way the layout turned out, soft and gentle like the baby sleeping in the photo 🙂

And here’s what I used:

Maja Design papers:

Other: stencil, stamps, embossing powder, chipboard: Agateria; flowers: Prima, Wild Orchid Crafts; star punch: DpCraft

 

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

Greetings friends.  Jennifer Snyder here sharing a card created with Maja Design’s amazing collection, “Traditional Christmas”.  This is a vintage style camper coffee/cocoa food truck.

This card actually uses a combination of the 12×12 and 6×6 paper pads.  I preferred the smaller designs found on the 6×6 papers for the tiny die cut detail work.

Here is what the collection looks like:

The papers used from this collection are: “Family Gathering”, “Beautifully Decorated” , “by the Fireplace”.

By the fireplace

The die set is from Spellbinders, to help kick off some Christmas holiday card making ideas.

 

Enjoy the rest of summer! But I want you to know it’s still OK to think about Christmas card making.
