Lavender cards

21 September, 2017 - Cards, Enjoying Outdoors

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards featuring one of my favorite collection Enjoying Outdoors.

Making cards is a good way to get rid of all the leftovers of papers you have accumulated over the past months or should I say years. I don’t know how you keep them, but I found that keeping them in a pocket with the collection is the best way to use them. When I was first starting scrapbooking I put all the leftovers together, but when I wanted one, well, I never found the right one! Now I know that if I don’t find it, it’s because I don’t have it and I will have to cut some beautiful paper! Let see how I made these cards!

Even if both cards look different, the way I made them is the same. First, I chose in my leftover from the Enjoying Outdoors collection, which one I could use. When I didn’t find the right one, My next move is to look in the 6×6 paper pad.

When I found all the scraps of paper I needed, I inked the edges to add some contrast before gluing them directly to the card base.

I die cut some leaves in two green papers from the collection and I inked the edges.

Then I added a few flowers.

On this card, I even added some lavender sprigs from my garden. To prevent them from falling apart when they dried, I covered them with gel medium.

And to finish the layout of the cards I added some microbeads.

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Denim and Friend collection. I chose another photo montage I’ve made. Oh I completely forgot to tell you that we have been specially sponsored by Petaloo by FloraCraft this week.

As usual, I primed the background with clear gesso. I mixed some Magical powder with 3D Glos gel to obtain a teal paste. I used this paste with a stencil to add a design on the background.

While the background was drying I colored some chipboard with different waxes. I cut some leaves in a watercolor paper that I painted with different inks.

I added some colors to the background that match the colors of the photomontage.

I cut a few paper to add under the photo and I glued some beautiful flowers from Petaloo along with the leaves I’ve die-cut.

To finish the layout I splattered some Glimmer Glam and I added some micro beads.

Hello Sweeties,
Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new project made with the Denim and Friends collection. I created a mini mini-album that can fit in a 6×6 envelope! How cool is that to be able to send a mini with the photos taken during a girl’s night to a dear friend, the photos of your baby to a relative who is far away, …?

As I tell you this mini fits in a 6 x 6 envelope. I use two brads to keep the mini album close.

I use the bands at the bottom of the Denim and Jeans papers to add some decorations as I want to keep the mini as flat as possible.

The mini has a few pockets where you can put your photos.

In the middle, I add two pages but you can add more if you want.

And here is the pattern in english (inch) and in french (cm).

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Denim and Friends collection. I chose a photomontage. Perhaps you will recognize the castle of Brissac from a previous layout?

As usual, I primed the background with clear gesso. Then I added a design with a stencil and a white crackle paste. When dry, I painted the background with a blue Sparks paint and some blue Twinkling H2Os.

While it dried again, I die-cut some leaves in a watercolor paper. I colored them as well as a few flowers with differents Twinkling H2O.

I cut a few papers to add under the photo. I added the flowers, the leaves, and some metallic embellishments.

When happy with the result, I added some micro beads and some bigger beads. I glued also some jump rings.

To finish the layout, I added another design with a Distress Oxide ink that I sprayed with water.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Denim and Friends collection. I chose a photo I created.

I primed the background with clear gesso. When dry I added a design with a stencil and black gesso. Then I sprayed two shades of inks through a second stencil. Then I added some splatters with two Magicals.

While the background was drying, I sprayed the chipboard with the same inks.I dried them before applying some Platinum Crackle Paste.

I added a last design to the background with a third stencil and Platinum Crackle Paste. I colored some flowers as well as some leavesI’ve die-cut in a watercolor paper.
