paper bag : MajaDesign

A bag full of Get Well wishes!

4 March, 2018 - Altered Items, Summertime

Hi everyone! I have a decorated paper bag to show you today. I have used red, gorgeous papers from Maja Design and the Summertime Collection. When I have planned to use the colour red, this is my favourite collection to use.

I have cut out different parts by using the Maja Papers.

I have also coloured some seambinding ribbons to match the papers. I have sprayed them with water mixed with Distress Ink, re-inkers (Aged Mahogany and Fired Brick).

The image is from Magnolia and the Get Well Collection. And I have added som Frantage and Liquid pearls around her.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I have added corrugated paper, a doily, lace and several layers of papers underneath the image.

Here is the list of papers used:

: Smell the Roses

: Garden bouquet

: Garden bouquet bs

: Light scarlet

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today!

With love,

Christmas gift bag

Hi everyone! I hope you are fine. Here I am with a decorated paper bag, using the amazing new papers from the collection Joyous Winterdays.

I have used only two pattern papers and the post stamps are cut out of a mini paper from the same collection.

Here you have a better view of the cute stamps.

The main image is from Magnolia, and I have coloured Tilda with Distress Ink. And used the same colours as I find in the papers.

The sentiments are from Stempelglede.

Here you might see the layers better. All the flowers are from Wild Orcid Crafts.

Here is the papers used:

: Cheerful

: Christmas time

: Ephemera

Thank you so much for visiting the Maja blog today!

With love,

Some winter inspiration!

Here is a paper bag I have decorated with gorgeous papers from the collection I wish.

Only days ago I came back from a holiday in beautiful Croatia! I stayed in a beautiful small village called Cavtat, just outside the city Dubrovnik. I was told that the people in Dubrovnik first settled down in Cavtat, before they had to escape and settled down in Dubrovnik. I guess thats why they built that fantastic city wall -to keep the enemies away. In Croatia it was still Summer, and blue sky every day! Inspite of that I manage to get the flu and sinusitis. Luckily this happened the day before we went home, so I really enjoyed my time there.

But because of all this, I had no new card to show you. This paper bag was published in the magazine Ett Trykk last February. But I have saved it for the blogs when it was time to show some winter/Christmassy inspirations. I have made it to show my style of crafting.
