Lovely Timeless Moments

20 May, 2016 - Collections, Life in the Country, Vintage Autumn Basics

Goodmorning everyone,

I just found out I really like the word “lovely” and that I very often use this word like on my last layout that you have seen two weeks back hihihi…..well it’s a nice word right! Today I would like to show you what I made using the pretty “Life in the Country”collection. The chipboard pieces are all by Creative Embellishments. I saw this cute girl on pinterest eating some yummy strawberry’s and I immediately thought well I need to use this paper collection for that adorable picture.

Oh boy I had so much fun creating this layout and I love how those gorgeous colors come together! On the base of my layout {the green sheet} which is called “summer fields” I added some text stamp with some embossing ink and purely white embossing powder. I wanted to go a little more colorful then my last layout and I think that worked well. The flowers I used this time are easy {not handmade} sorry but by Petaloo which are by far my most favorite flowers to work with.

I am so much in love with the border chipboard words and they fit so well with these papers and the clocks are so much fun to add to any project. That I took out two sheet of it and when we were watching a movie I was cutting clocks in the meanwhile very therapeutic as I may say so. Also you will see that I stitched the outer green borders with white tread and added some flower stencil with some crackle paste.

Write a comment

Good morning Maja friends!

It’s winter, and soon it’s Christmas. Today I have created a wintercard using papers from the “Enjoying Outdoors” collection.

This card is a kind of easel card and I have decorated all parts of it.

Together with the Maja papers I have used an image from an old postcard, doilies, pearls, lace and flowers.

Wish you all a happy day! Hugs from Heidi

Good Morning Everyone <3

It’s Sunday, and it is my turn to inspire you with a project created with the new collections, Home for the Holidays <3

Home-for-the-holidays-P

I have collected the blue sheets from the collection and made one wintry project in blue, white and silver.

I am very fond of the new collection to Maja Design and I have been inspired by the deer that can be found on some of the sheets. When I came across a silver deer in a store, I new that the deer was just perfect for the new collection. The entire project is designed, so I can use the deer in silver.

Next to the deer I have three packages. These packages I have covered with True Snow and Glitter. Round them I have a bow in silver with a white button on top.

The flowers I have put together is one set of dies from Creative Expressions called Poinsettia.

On all the flowers I have a thin layer of true snow and glitter. Both sides of the box are decorate the same.

In between the flowers I have used pine needles, frozen berries, Christmas balls and apples in silver.

On the box I’ve spent a lot of True Snow and glitter.

Silver colors runs through the whole box, with derr on the top, silver thread on the presents and the buttons to the four silver feet the box stands on.

This is the last box I’m making to you as an inspiration for you this year <3

Nesxt time I will tell you abute a speciall project that means a lot to me and many other people <3

27 November, 2015 - Cards, Home for the Holidays

Write a comment

Hello everyone! I cannot believe how quickly the time is passing. The month is nearly and over and my year at school is nearly over as well (I’m doing a happy dance atm). It feels strange creating a wintery Christmas card to share with you as Christmas in Australia is simply the opposite…as we celebrate Christmas in summer! However I couldn’t resist the wonderful images in the beautiful collection Home For the Holidays.

I love the blue tones of the papers. I created my own poinsettias using Magnolia Christmas Poinsettia dies. I applied some Ruby Rock-It Snow White Course Glitter on top of them to add some shimmer. The foliage is die cut using Tim Holtz Holiday Greens and the tag is also from the Tim Holtz Tag Collection. I incorporated my sentiment here as well which is from JustRite.

I used a Memory Box Catalina Wreath and die cut it twice. By placing it slightly off centre, it created a lovely shadow effect.

I am slowly creating my Christmas cards…I haven’t made a dent into my intended target but once school finishes and all my deadlines are met I can really get stuck in and get creating. I have ideas but sadly only 24 hours in a day (sigh).

Cathy - Laughter - Enjoying Outdoors Collection

Hello everyone! I hope that you are all well. Today I would like to share a layout that I have completed using the latest collection from Maja Design…Enjoying Outdoors. I took this opportunity to create another page for my brother’s album that I have been working on. This photo is of my siblings many years ago with one of the dogs we had growing up.

The photo dictated my title. I used a Blue Fern title and applied two coats of gesso. Then I used some Gelatos and rubbed it in with my fingers to create the ombre effect. It was so easy to achieve!

Every part of the papers has potential. The title strips formed my journalling. I also used some left overs to create some banners as shown. The butterfly was stamped using a script stamp from Bobunny to give it a vintage look.

The collection has so many beautiful greens and purples. I selected approx three papers and inked the edges using walnut stain distress ink. I selected a dark, a medium and a light in terms of pattern so that they wouldn’t compete too much with each other. As it is the outdoor, I used peeled paint distress ink as part of my background and the applied TCW chicken wire reversed stencil on top. I also did some stamping and added some random pieces of printed tape in places.

I can never get enough of flowers! I have used some Green Tara flowers here. These are called azaleas and I love that they are not too bulky but have enough dimension and also compliment the papers perfectly!
