It’s all vintage

14 October, 2015 - Cards, Vintage Frost Basics, Vintage Winter

Good morning Maja friends! Are you all doing fine? Have you realized that it’s only two month until you have to send your Christmas cards? That means you soon have to start making them!

This card is made with papers from “Vintage Frost Basics”. I have used both “1st of December” and “10th of December” for this card.

I have used images of angels, lace, chipboard, cheese cloth and a wooden star.

Do you want to see another card? Today my daughters boyfriend turns 23, and I made him a birthday card some days ago.

Here I have used papers from “Vintage Winter”, both “Bake a Christmas cake” and “It’s chilly outside”.

The cool image I found on the Internet and I have decorated the card with cheese cloth, a film strip from Tim Holtz, old buttons, a chipboard star and text stickers.

Thanks for dropping by! Enjoy your day 🙂

17 November, 2013 - Cards, It’s Christmas time

Write a comment

Hi there Maja fans! It it that time of year to make some Christmas cards. I haven’t had time to make so many, but now I use every opportunety to sit down and colour some Christmas images for my cards.

For this card I have used papers from the gorgeous Christmas Collection called “It’s Christmas Time”. I will show you the lovely papers at the end of this post. As usual I have added a lot of “things” to my card. The flowers are from WOC, and I have added some Distress Ink-Walnut Stain on to them, and also some Stickles-Star Dust.

The image is called Peaceful Tilda and is from the Winter Wonderland Collection. I have coloured her with Distress Ink, re-inkers and Markers. I have masked her together with the text called Christmas background, also from Magnolia. I have used my heat gun and some Fran-tage around the image.

The tags are made from a Magnolia die, called Tilda tag. It is my favourite, bacuse I can add som pattern paper on it to. The fence is called Lovely fence (Magnolia die).

I have used a Circle Spellbinder die to cut out the image. The texts on the tags are from Stempelglede. The text (and image) are stamped with Memento ink pad-Rich Cocoa.

The pinecones are made with a Tim Holtz die, as well as the old clock (Weathered Clock) at the left side of the card. I have added some white Crackle Paint on them (Picket Fence). The leaves are made with a Magnolia die.

Now a closer look at the gorgeous papers used:

“Festive season”

“Joyful”

“Snowflakes”

“Die cut letters-bs”

Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Maja Collection “Vintage Frost Basics”. So hopefully my next post will be with those papers!

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Blog!

Warm Christmas hugs, xx

Hi there! It is me Camilla again, with some Christmas Cards this time. The weeks go by so fast , especially with a little baby to take care of.

Anyway, in todays post you will see that all three cards are made with the Vintage Autumn Basics papers! But I still think they have the Christmas feeling.
For my red card I have used the papers No. III bs, No II and No X bs.

The image is from Magnolia and is coloured in Distress Ink, re-inkers. The pinecones are made with a Tim Holtz die. I have added some Frantage on them, Aged Gold. Around the image there are also some Frantage-Shabby White. I have coloured the ribbon myself with Distress Ink, re-inkers Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany mixed with some water. The text (transl. “Christmas hug”) is written on my computer and printed out. All paper edges are inked with Walnut Stain and sewed. I have also added some cheese cloth, a lace, a heart doily, string and a rein deer charm. The card is made with a GoKreate die.
