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.

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.

some close up’s

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!

Hello my dear friends!!!

It’s Mary here with you today and I have a new layout to share with you.

As you may already know, I love finding my photos on Pinterest and this time, while I was searching I found that beautiful photo. So, I choose paper from the ”I Wish” collection and combined it with some beautiful flowers and a few metal embellishments. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

For my background, I used the ”I Wish For Peace and Joy” paper. First, I gave my background a coat of clear gesso. When it was dried I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. I continued by coloring my page with Lindy’s sprays ”Danny Zuko’s Denim”, ”Green with Envy Green” and ”Grab a Guy Gold”.

I heat embossed all the chipboards with the ”Orbit Olive Gold” Lindy’s embossing powder. As usual all the chipboards I used are 2crafty.

When everything was glued down, I added some copper micro beads and made some splatters with white acrylic artists ink.

Paper used:

That’s all for today, my friends!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello our blog fans. Today I would like to present two cards. One is for the Wedding and the other for a Birthday. Floral, pastel colours with quite few layers. Take a look, please :

To create these cards I have used the Vintage Summer Basics Collection. It is really universal collection.

I don’t know why but I stop to use paper flowers recently.It will change … I’m pretty sure but for now I will enjoy the simplicity of my projects 🙂

Hope you like my project. If you are wondering about used materials here is the list : chipboard – Scrapiniec, digital graphic – Digital Paper and the paper : Maja Design

Hello my dear friends!!!

It’s Mary here with you today and I have a new layout to share with you.

When I found on Pinterest that gorgeous photo I new that I had to scrap it. So, I choose papers from the ”Denim & Friends” collection and combined them with some beautiful flowers and a few metal embellishments. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

For my background, I used the ”Fashion” paper and made a layer behide my photo with the ”Sunbleached” paper.

First, I gave my background a coat of clear gesso. When it was dried I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Then, I heat embossed the pattern with the ”Cosmic Blue Violet” Lindy’s Stamp Gang embossing powder. I continued by coloring my page with Lindy’s sprays ”Dark Chocolate Truffle” and ”Whale Watch Blue”.
