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, 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!

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 🙂

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!

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.
