A shaker card!

27 December, 2017 - Cards, Vintage Summer Basics

Hi everyone! I am back with a shaker card today. I am making some videos on You Tube for Magnolia, and this is my final product. In the last video I show how to make a shaker card, and how I made this card. It is on the Magnolia channel today. I have used some gorgeous Maja papers for my project.

I thought this collection would fit my project perfectly!

I have used Distress Inks, re-inkers and Markers for the image.

Here you see the shaker card, which is filled with glitter.

Some more details. The cute flowers are from Petaloo.

I think the flowers match the papers so well.

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Design blog today!

With love,

Hello Maja Design Friends,

I’ve got a couple of cards to share with you today – totally inspired by the snow in Winter

For my cards I used Vintage Winter collection , my number one among all of the beautiful Maja Christmas papers. Each year I can not pass by and create a bunch of cards with mostly blue colors.

I like the color combo of white and blue, it seems that I can feel how calm it is when the snow falls down

I’ve added the flowers on my cards, mostly white and silver grey, I guess they add the frosty feeling.

I also die cut the frames from the papers and the glittered cardstock, the snowflakes chipboard that I kept raw and the crochet doily

Hope you have liked my cards and enjoy this special time of the year.

Products used:

Vintage Winter – It’s chilly outside – bs, Fun in the Snow, Sparkling Snow
Spellbinders Dies, Prima Marketing Flowers, BoBunny Chipboard Snowflakes

Hello our blog friends. Today I would like to show you my first calendar for 2018. This one will be use mostly at home, that’s why I could add a little bit more of volume. Here it is :

I decorated only the cover – it is the easiest way for changing the boring version of calendar.

First I created the cover and then glued it. Used some mixed media products, chipboards and my favourites add-ons.

Hope you will like my inspiration. Have a lovely day, Paulina

29, you said?? ;)

15 November, 2017 - Cards, Denim & Friends

Write a comment

Hi everyone! Today I am back with an easel card. I have used one of my favorite collections for my card, the Denim & Friends collection. The card was made for a colour challenge at the Norwegian card magazine Ett Trykk, with the colours mint and turquoise. I tried to find some suitable Maja papers to fit the challenge.

The cute image is from Magnolia and the Denim Collection, and I have coloured it with Distress Ink, re-inkers and Markers. The dies used are also from Magnolia.

The texts are from Ett Trykk.

Under you can view the card from the side. I made it for my friend’s 40th anniversary.

I have made the flowers myself. I have placed them both on the upper part of the card, and on the lower part. So when it is open, it looks like the flowers are together in a way.

Want to see how they are made? Here I have some photos from the making.

I lay the flowers down on a newspaper, and spray them with water (the flower dies are from Magnolia).

Then I curl them up, and let them to dry.

When they are dry, I curl them up again, and place them together with some Wild Orchid Crafts stamens in the middle. Here comes a list of papers used:

: Jeans & T-shirt

: Heartbreaker

: Streetwear

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja Blog!

With love,

Cover card!

Hi everyone! Today I will show you a card I made for the magazine Ett Trykk with Maja papers of course;) I have used the beautiful papers from the Sofiero Collection, new edition, and also a Monochromes paper.

The stamps are from Stempelglede. I have painted the butterflies with Distress Ink, re-inkers.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts. And under them I have added some Sissal grass. I just love the spring feeling these papers gives! So maybe this card can brighten up a dark and windy Autumn day.
