Hello our blog fans. Today I would like to present a album cover. It is a first album for a little boy ! Perfect to capture the memories, moments … write down some sentences and describe funny situations captured in the pictures.  It look like I’am guite sentimental recently time 🙂 Let’s take a look, please :

Vintage Baby

To create this album I used a ready base from Eco-Scrapbooking – a polish brand producing bases for cards, album etc. Inside pages are made from blue envelopes – they match perfectly with Maja Design papers! This time I used collections of Vintage Baby – I found there perfect papers for a boy, which I combined with the newest Monochromes collection.

Vintage BabyVintage BabyThe main element on the cover it’s die cut  from this collection. It is so useful when in a collection you have also some die cuts. It makes our work much easier and faster ! The next element it is a big chipboard frame from Scrapiniec. Some Petaloo flowers and ordinary roses, leafs and splashing. It is not too complicate but really impressive.

 A very warm welcome to the wonderful Maja Designs blog. It feels like it has been forever since I was last here.  Today my family and I are going to a engagement dinner for a lovely young couple who, we as a family have grown with over the past few years. It is ever so sweet to see these two uniting. So I thought I would create a simple but elegant card for them to help celebrate their unity as a couple.

This is titled

“Truly, Madly, Deeply”

Truly Madly, Deeply (5)

When I first had the idea , I knew I wanted to create something very elegant but not too vintage as they are only a very young couple. I also wanted to keep it clean and crisp and I think I kept to my plan pretty much.

Vintage-Romance-P (1)

I had used the Vintage Romance collection previously with another creation and I had a few scraps leftover which is what I have used for this card. They are as below. I only used the strip from the bottom of Champagne which says “Truly, Madly, Deeply”. I cut and distressed this piece and used this to run through the middle of my embellishments. I have used both sides of  Happily Ever After and torn and layered these papers to a baby blue cardstock card measuring 4 inches x 9 inches. My favourite size at this present time. I think this size cards keeps things elegant and stylish.

From the Ephemera Cards sheet I cut the doves and the hearts to help embellish my cards. I have also used the blue frame from Love Notes to sit under the doves and hearts as you can see below in the close-up photos.

Truly Madly, Deeply (3)

I have used a beautiful motif that is an absolute favourite. I have cut and extended this to fit under my ephemera. I have also added in a little cheesecloth along with some tiny blue roses and a couple of petals from a material flower.

Truly Madly, Deeply (2)

I dusted over a little gesso to the flowers and other embellishments to keep it calming. Then a little Star Dust Stickles was wiped over areas included the hearts and doves of the ephemera piece.

Truly Madly, Deeply (6)

The card from another angle layered around some more gorgeous laces and motifs. This collection is a sure winner in my books. It is simply elegant! Well that is all from me today. I do hope that I have inspired you in some small way to create a little something for yourself or possibly a loved one.

A great excuse to create with Valentines Day only day away.

Until next time take care and happy crafting.

Decoration of stick it note pads *Tutorial*

Hello dear friends! Its Evgenia Petzer with you today and I will show you how to make the covers for the sticker pad notes. The covers are long-lasting, as once the notes are finished you can simply attach the new block on the same place.

One cover I have decorated using the paper and another one is with fabric covering.

Here is the result:

stick_notes_pad_petzer_together

The one for the boy uses the paper:stick_notes_pad_boy_petzer

some close ups:

and the girl’s one is made out of fabricstick_notes_pad_girl_petzer

some close ups:

stick_notes_pad_girl_petzer_det1 stick_notes_pad_girl_petzer_det2

So lets start: Thats basically  what we will need (if you decide to go just with the paper decorations)

MK_pad - 1

I am not providing the certain measurements here as your sticky blocks may vary… I cut the piece of the thick yardstick (or the watercolour paper as I am using here) the width is about 5 mm bigger than the block itself.

MK_pad - 4

after you score it, you cut the extra length off and here is what you will need to get.

MK_pad - 5

The block inside looks like this.

MK_pad - 6

for the fabric covering, we do it slightly different, I use the cardboard for it, to make it even firmer. The larger rectangular are slightly bigger then the block itself (add about 2 mm for each!!! side), where as the inner, thin part is thinner than the block’s part (to make the cover open nicely and smoothly)

MK_pad - 7

Than we need to attach these three parts to the fleece material (I actually buy the fleece throughs from the IKEA and use them for these type of things)

MK_pad - 8

Than you cut all the extra length away and get this:

MK_pad - 9

then you need to pick the fabric, I prefer cotton one and the designs that match my papers that I will use fro the decoration,

MK_pad - 10

Using the glue, you adhere the fabric inside (start from two opposite sides, than another 2 opposite sides, that will make the fabric lay straight and nice)

MK_pad - 11

MK_pad - 12

the corners of the fabric you can cut as shown, that will help you to get the corners look more nicer.

MK_pad - 13

 

after bending the corners inside, it will look like this:

MK_pad - 14

MK_pad - 15

This time I also will put some ribbons to get the more appealing look, the ribbons you attach with the glue and then can also add some sticky tape.

MK_pad - 16

Now we will need to cover the inner part also with the same fabric

MK_pad - 17

here is what we get, you can help yourself with the scoring pen for those two lines.

MK_pad - 18

than you put some glue on the stick note pad and adhere it inside of this cover.

MK_pad - 19

Now the nicest part begins- decoration! I pick the paper for the covering.

MK_pad - 20

using the wet glue you adhere it inside.

MK_pad - 21

*****

with the paper decoration for the boys’ sample its even easier… I picked two papers for the outside decor and you need to adhere it as shown.

MK_pad - 22

then you just need to decorate your projects as you wish, I always start by picking the main element.

MK_pad - 24Once again- here is the outcome result!

stick_notes_pad_petzer_together

Hope that you have enjoyed this little tutorial and these paper pads can become small nice gifts even for the teachers, if you go with more neutral decor theme.

 

I have used the paper pad of The Vintage Baby Collection

and the sheet with hot air baloons (New Arrival) for the fussy cutting:

 

 

Have a lovely day,

Hello my crafty friends! I’m so happy to be here again as a guest designer and I will share with you a layout and a card I made with these beautiful papers.

 

For my layout, I used the ”Vintage Spring Basics” Collection, the ”6th of April” paper for my background and the ”4th and 5th of April” as a mat for my photo.

LO Close Up 4(1)

First I primed my paper with Finnabair clear gesso and when it was dried I applied modeling paste through a stencil. Then, I sprayed my page with ”Ocean Breeze Blue”, ”Baby Blue Eyes Aqua” and ”Delphinium Turquoise” Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists. When I was satisfied with the result  it was the time for some stamping.

LO Close Up 2(1)

My ”2Crafty” chipboards were covered at first with white heavy gesso and then heat embossed with Stampendous ”Aged Ivory’’ embossing enamel. My title was also treated the same way.

LO Close Up 1(1)

I added my floral clusters and glued some starfishes and shells to complement them.

LO Close Up 3(1)

A final touch with some Finnabair Art Stones  and Colored Fine-Grained Grit in Blue Light here and there and my page was ready.

Vintage-Spring-Basics-P

Now, for my card I used the amazing ”Vintage Romance” Collection. I made two layers, the first one with the ”Passion” paper and the second one with the ”She’s my Lady” paper.

Card Close Up 4

I choose an image of a beautiful young lady from the ”Ephemera Cards” to place in the center of my card. I think this is just perfect for my vintage card. Don’t you think?

Card Close Up 3

Then, I mixed Finnabair Light Paste with ”Peach Opal” Mica powder and applied it through a stencil. Made some splatters with ”Open Arms Amethyst” Lindy’s Stamp Gang mist and made some random stamping.

Card close up

I primed my 2crafty chipboard and the title with white heavy gesso and then I heat embossed them with Stampendous ”Aged Taupe” embossing enamel.

Card Close Up 1

I sprayed my white roses with ”Blazing Sun” Lindy’s Stamp Gang mist to give them an extra shine.  I added my floral cluster and combined some embellishments from Scrap-Unlimited.

Mary Catt Card

As a final touch I glued some ”Licorice” Glass Beads here and there and my card was ready.
