Today We Celebrate You ~ Maja Design

Hello everyone! It's Spring in Australia and I'm enjoying my school holidays. It's amazing how some time off work can really do wonders for the mind and body! I've been busy around the house and in my garden...weeding..cleaning..resting in between. I love gardens and flowers and my card is inspired by the beautiful flowers that I long to see in the spring.

I love shaped cards and sometimes struggle to get the folds to match up correctly. I recently purchased a Spellbinders pop up die set which includes a die to create a centre step card. It is so easy! To decorate the card, I have used papers from the Summer Crush Collection. I used the First Date and He Gives Her Flowers.

To embellish my card, I used this adorable resin from Prima. I also used some scraps to die cut butterflies to add to the side panels of the card. Everything was inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

The focal image is a stamp set from JustRite Stampers. I used Distress inks and a Dove blender pen to colour it in. The image was stamped onto watercolour paper. To age it, I inked the edge with vintage photo.

To finish my card, I used a variety of flowers and die cut leaves as well as teardrop spray.

Hello everyone! I have two cards to share with you. I just adore the latest collection...the muted tones and the beautiful floral designs. Not only did the beautiful papers inspire me  with my card making, but it also inspired me to create flowers to compliment the papers! All of the flowers are handmade on my cards (except for one) and if you would like to make them as well I followed a tutorial which you can view here. You will need watercolour paper, distress inks, some cherry blossom dies and stamens to create these flowers.

For my first card I wanted to feature a bird cage. I had these birds and bird cages in my stash. I painted them with gesso and embellished with flowers.

I used a Prima doily die and a soft pink cardstock that complimented the tones of the papers. I also used a Cherry Blossom Brunch die by La Land Crafts as foliage which works beautifully with my cherry blossoms that I made. I like to add butterflies into my projects and I had some left over from an old project and they fit perfectly into the little spaces.

My second card again uses the cherry blossom flowers but is a little bit more rustic. To show definition in my layers, I inked them with walnut stain distress ink and machine stitched the edges of my papers.

To create the focal point of my card I cut the Catalina Wreath by Memory Box twice using pale pink and green cardstock and glued them so that it created a slight shadow. Then I added my sentiment and left over flowers.
