In my last post I shared a baby girl layout using the Little Street Cafe collection. I also claimed it’s quite easy to use any Maja collection for any theme. And so I have challenged myself to create a boy page with this romantic, vintage and feminine collection. Here’s the result 🙂
Just as in my previous post, I followed the photo colour combo and opted for a monochromatic selection of background papers. I chose orange hues (surprising as it was for me!) that perfectly match the brick wall in the photo. I repeated the motive with a stencil and white structure paste…
…and referred to my boys’ black t-shirts with black mold elements and stamping. A range of matching flowers as well as black stones and matte gold sequins complete the look.
For the title I used a chipboard piece that I embossed with glossy black ep:
I think it turned out really cool, casual and cheerful 🙂 But what do you think?
Here are my supplies:
Maja Design papers:
- Honey
- Honey-bs
- Sunshine
Other: chipboard: Scrapiniec; stamps: Heidi Swapp, aliexpress; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima; stones, stencil, resin flowers: Prima; mold: Prosvet; sequins: my stash.
Thank you for visiting the blog today! Don’t forget to return soon for more inspiration 🙂

As each Maja Design collection, Little Street Cafe has a specific theme, but at the same time is versatile enough to be used for almost any kind of project. And today I’m bringing you a baby girl page using these beautiful papers 🙂
The collection features a vibrant palette of several colours, but it is really easy to opt for a monochromatic project. I selected mauve and pink papers and added a touch of white and gold to create light, delicate background for a sweet photo of my goddaughter.
First I layered background papers and applied a wreath motive upon them with a stencil and white texture paste. Then I filled each wreath with flowers:
I die-cut the title word from gold metallic cardstock and applied it upon a wired heart:
I also added some sequins for a bit of girly glam 🙂
I really like the way it turned out; light, subtle and delicate like the baby in the photo 🙂 What do you think?
Here’s what I used:
Maja Design papers:
- Plum
- Coffee al fresco-bs
- Always time
Other: flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima; die: Kesi’Art; stencil: Agateria; diecuts, wired heart: Prima; mold: Prosvet; sequins: my stash.
That is all for today, thank you so much for visiting and don’t forget to drop by soon for more inspiration!

New year, new beginnings, they say 🙂 So for my first post in the new year I bring you a first project I made using the brand new collection, Little Street Cafe. I fell in love with this collection the very moment I opened my DT box – what a treat! One of the more vibrant colour palettes in the Maja stock, with juicy yellows and oranges paired with deep burgundy and sand beige, and all while keeping the classic vintage Maja style with its charasteristic plaids, stripes and flower designs. And don’t forget the ephemera sheet! Soo beautiful! I already have some ideas for this collection, but today I bring you a card for grandparents, as is Poland we’re going to celebrate Grandma’s Day on January 21st and Grandpa’s Day the next day.
I must admit I had difficulties choosing the papers for my first project, as all are equally tempting 😉 but eventually I decided upon on of the plaids and flower patterns for the backgound. For the top layer I cut out a panel with a street view – so perfect for the stamped image I chose for my focal element:
I added stamped sentiments and an acrylic heart that also matches the papers’ colours:
The flower pattern on the background paper gave me the idea for the mini roses cluster I added in the lower corners:
The card turned out slightly too dimensional to go into an envelope, so I added a card box too:
I really love how this card turned out, with its vibrant colours and beautiful paper patterns!
Here’s my supply list:
Maja Design papers:
- Coffee al fresco
- Always time
- Delisious-bs
- Wine
- Honey
Other: stamps: Penny Black, Lemonade; dies: CreaLies; chipboard: Scrapiniec; flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts; markers: Kuretake.
Do you celebrate Grandparent’s Day/s in your countries?
See you soon!
