As I saw the wonderful new collection papers ‘Joyous winterdays’ I was inspired to create a new home decor project for christmas as little gift for a good friend.

used Maja Design papers

Joyous-Winterdays-P

948-Ephemera

946-Blizzard 942-Frost

other used materials

modelling clay white, Snow tex (DecoArt), Silikon mould ‘Icecycle’, Distress ink ‘Walnut stain’, clear stamp ‘Crackle’, chipboards (Scrap FX), cutting dies, Resin treasure window

How I made this

2017-11-01

  • I choose background paper ‘Frost’ and cut out all three MDF pieces
  • then I glued the paper with Decoupage Glue (DecoArt) on it
  • I connected the three pieces and used the paper distresser tool for the edges, it gives an beautiful altered effect
  • then i chose two motives from this new amazing Christmas/ Wintercollection and cut out – the sweet snowmen and little boy

2017-11-011

  • icecycles were made with white modeling clay and a mould
  • to complete the background, I added Distress Ink ‘Walnut stain’ with a little bit water for some running effects, it will give you a worned altered look
  • I used the ‘Blizzard’ paper, textured paper (leftovers from a wallpaper) and a craft paper for cutting dies – trees, lantern, winter leaves and snowflakes
  • glued all also embellishments with a transparent adhesive medium
  • create the snow effect with Snow tex (DecoArt)

This project was so much fun to create and I love the scene that you can build up, using all the beautiful background papers from Maja Design.

And if you wonder why the little boy is suddenly blue now, even though he is on the original green, it was very cold in the snow 😉 … ?

yes, you can change the color of these papers later, for example with alcohol markers 🙂

Many thanks for your visit!

Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome dear Maja friends!

Kerstin here, I’m the new guy and I’m coming more often now 😉

Today I want to share with you a new winter layout.

Winter is around the corner, fields and meadows are frozen, nature lies down to rest. The best time for creating or?! 🙂

I have created a very magical mixed media layout.

Magic Moments - Joyous Winterdays

 I used the amazing Maja Design ‘Joyous Winterday’ collection – Sparkle + Blizzard

and some stamps (border, stars, saying), corrugated cardboard, cutting dies (deers, trees, stars, snowflakes, Holiday greens – Sizzix), chipboards – Scrap FX, pinecones, feather and flowers.

I  start my backgrounds with a thin clear gesso layer to be able to create a nice watercolour effect on my paper. The picture is always my eye -catching focal point.

I love to work with corrugated cardstock for a nature feeling and I’m always a big fan of cutting dies, so many possibilities, not only for cards, it’s also a wonderful addition for layouts or out off the page projects. The very good quality of Maja papers is perfect for that technique.

a piece of fell gift ribbon for a cozy feeling, some deers with cutting die and a leftover from a structure wallpaper

all Maja papers are printed on both sides, that’s very useful, so you can make special effects, the lower star  looks like patchwork

 Many thanks for your visit!

Have a nice weekend!
