Holiday in the Alps : MajaDesign

Christmas Baubles

10 December, 2019 - Cards

Good morning, dear Maja Fans, welcome to the blog today 🙂

If you still celebrate the sadly vanishing tradition of sending Christmas cards, I guess it’s time to start to send them 🙂 And if you’re looking for some inspiration, let me share some shaped cards today:

I used the latest release, the Holiday In The Alps collection. It contains several papers in darkest colours of the set and featuring beautiful damask patterns. Here I took the navy blue paper, applied a white stencil pattern upon it – just look at the gorgeous contrast! – and added embellishments:

The flower cluster includes foamiran poinsettias I made myself 🙂 I also added a die-cut manger scene:

There’s also a brown damask paper in the set:

I paired it with the burgundy paper and added some colour-matchign embellishments, with art clay angels made with a mold:

And, last but not least, the burgundy version of the same pattern:

Here I applied a snowflake pattern upon the paper and added a chipboard quotation from a Polish Christmas song. Then I added my embellishments, including a large Prima poinsettia, my handmade foamiran poinsettia and some twigs and leaves die cut from glitter cardstocks.

And here’s the whole set:

I really like how they turned out, glimmering and festively rich 🙂 What do you think?

Here’s my list of supplies:

Hello. Jennifer Snyder here to share some Christmas cards made using the Maja Design ” Holiday In the Alps” paper collection. This is the new heart warming vintage holiday collection from Maja Design.

The vintage images are enchanting and the rich colors add such an elegant touch.

Below is an image of the ephemera sheet from the collection used on the first card.

The sheet is called ” Winter Ephemera”.

I also used ” Love to Ski” and “Decorate the Lodge”.

I made two cards for today’s post. The first card features the small ephemera border images. The are embellished using Spellbinders border dies.

Here is the second card, accented with chipboard from Creative Embellishments along with more of the Spellbinders border die.

Thank you for stopping here. Happy crafting.

Hi everyone! Here I am with a late post using the gorgeous new papers from Maja Design’s latest Christmas Collection, Holiday in the Alps.

But for the leaves I have used some Monochromes from the collection Shades of Christmas, since there was no green colours in the new collection.

I have handpainted the image with Distress Ink, re-inkers and Markers.

Under you get a closer look of some of the details.

I have added some white paint called White Gesso here and there all over the box. Maybe this box will be under someones three this Christmas?

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

With love,

Winter wonderland.

Hello again sweet Maja fans ,

today I bring you this little winter scenery I made in a jar.

I used the Holiday in the Alps collection for it.

The back ground is made with the Winter night from the 6″x 6″ papers and the snowman and little deer are cut out of the Winter ephemera sheet of the 12″x12″papers.

I added some fake snow and there you have a winter wonderland in a jar. Isn’t it super cute?.

I really love how this turned out and want to enjoy it day and night or evening so I added a little light in it as well.

I hope you like what I made for you this time.

Thank you for visiting , hope to see you back next time.

Wedding In The Alps

Good morning, dear Maja friends, welcome to the blog today 🙂

With November ending, the holiday season is really close and I’m very happy about it, but while it’s still autumn, I wanted to make some non-winter and non-Christmas projects 🙂 However, that doesn’t mean I won’t be using wintery papers! Especially when the latest release, Holiday In The Alps, is so beautiful! And like all Maja collections, it’s versatile enough to be used for other themes than winter and Christmas.

And so I made a… wedding card 🙂

For my card I chose the sand and burgundy colours to make it festively rich. I layered Monochrome sheets beneath the beautiful damask of the top paper. I distressed all the edges for more texture. I also added a vintage label with metallic foil:

Upon such background I placed a layered die-cut wreatch of leaves and filled the centre with sand and burgundy flowers, completed with paper foil straws, vintage ribbon and acrylic crystals:

I also added a chipboard sentiment in the lower corner of the card and covered it with glitter to match the glamour style of the card:

I think the card turned out really nice, the rich damask background and shiny features of foiled and glitter elements. I also like the dimension, of course 🙂
