Chocolate Hearts at Christmas

20 November, 2016 - I Wish

Hello Everyone ? I hope you all having a wonderful weekend ?

Today it is me, Silje Kristin that are reay with some Christmas inspiration, made with some lovely Maja Papers ?

It has bean many Christmas gifts lately and this is no exception. I have this Sunday decorated a box of chocolate hearts, which you can buy in the Norwegian food stores. Maby you have a box with some sweets in your country that you can turn in to a beautiful Christmas Gift like I did 🙂

I like many others have is in love with the new collection to Maja Design – I Wish. I’ve spent more of the gorgeous sheets that can be found in the collection. The sheets I used on this project is: I Wish Christmas was Today, I Wish Santa will Remeber Me, I Wish we will deck the Halls and I Wish to play in the Snow.

I’ve made a box where I can get the box with chocolate hearts inside. The box fits the dimensions of the box with the chocolate hearts.

On the top of the box I’ve chosen to decorate with details that remind us of Christmas. Cinnamon stick, red berries, stars of wood, pinecone, big red button with ribbon and a red flower.

The image on the chocolate box is taken from the sheet called I Wish – ephemera. This is a sheet with some lovely Christmas designs. I have used the Santa Claus, with the text: With kindly Greeting let me say, I think of you this Christmas Day. Christmas Cheer.

Seems this text fits perfectly to the lucky one that get this Christmas gift ?

Around the box, I have red wax tread which is attached with a ribbon and button in the front. Taking this away, you can peek to see what’s inside ?

The Stamp I have chosen to use seys Merry Christmas only on Norwegian, the stamp is from kaBoks. I’ve used black embossing powder from Ranger.

A easy, but lovely Christmas gift from me today ?

I can not get enough of this gorgeous new collection, “I Wish”!

The red, cream, and green are accented perfectly with chocolate brown and it’s a divine combination!

I created a mimic effect from the plaid with my stitching.

I adore how the simplicity allows my sweet girls photo jump off the page!

I’ve used minimal embellishments so the beautiful plaid paper takes center stage.

Products:

Chipboard- Dusty Attic

Crystals- Prima

Hi there! Still in the middle of November, but I am in the Christmas mood. When it comes to cardmaking, that is. Who could resist with the gorgeous papers from I wish.

Today I will show you a giftbag that I have decorated.

I have coloured the sweet image from Magnolia called Holly Wreath Tilda, with Distress Inks re-inkers, in the same colours as the I wish papers I have used. I love these warm nostalgic colours. The Merry Christmas text is also from Magnolia. The postmark stamps around the image are from Stempelglede.

Under you see the back of the bag.

The texts on the tags (Magnolia).

You get a better view on the different layers on the picture under.

Here is the list of the paper used:

: I wish for peace and joy

: I wish Santa got my letter

: I wish we will deck the halls

: I wish you a Happy Holiday bs

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

With love,

”Cherish”

Hello Maja fans and welcome to the blog today!

This my second christmasy project using the ”I wish” collection and this time I made a layout. I can’t believe that we are already so close to Christmas… I love that season and I’m full with the Christmas spirit! And, that beautiful photo from pinterest was just perfect for the layout I had in my mind… of course, I want to give all the proper credits to the photographer.

I used the ”I wish those memories will last” as my main paper and I torn it vertical on the left side. I placed under it, three layers of two papers, one from the same paper, one from the backside of the same paper and lastly one of the ”I wish for frosty mornings”. Among the papers Ι added some lace and a few pieces of doilies.

I designed my background with modeling paste and a stencil over a coat of clear gesso. I colored it with ”Dark Chocolate Truffle” and ”Clam Bake Beige” Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists. I also made splatters with white 13arts Splash ink to highlight it a little bit. When dried I made some random stamping and the background was ready to glue everything down.

I heat embossed the chipboards with two powders, first with the ”Desert Moon Copper Pine” and then with the ”Cafe au Lait”. All the chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

As a final touch, I added some mica flakes in ”Henna” and some ”Melange Art Pebbles”.

Papers used:

: I wish those memories will last

: I wish those memories will last bs

: I wish for frosty mornings bs

: I wish – Ephemera

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!

Bad luck

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the I Wish collection. I chose an old photo of my father struggling to repair his bike on a snowy day. I think that the photo was taken in the 50’s.

First I primed the background with clear gesso. Then I added the first design with a colorful Archival ink and a stencil. I stamped with a black Archival ink randomly around my design.

I mixed a metallic acrylic paint with 3D Gloss Gel to add a second design. I let dry before adding some colors.

While the background was drying, I die-cut some gears in a heavyweight watercolor paper. I painted them with the Rust Effect pastes and added a light touch of the metallic paint.
