A Place of Miracles

Hello, and welcome! How are you doing on this lovely Tuesday?I'm back today with a new card that I'm sharing on the Maja Design Blog! This makes twice in the same week, which is kind of a record for me lately, and I couldn't be happier to be able to be here with you.

For Today's card I'm creating with another one of my favorite Maja Design collections, Ska vi ta en Fika. If you love purples as much as I do, this collection is a must-have for your craft room.

Welcome to my happy place! Is there anything more magical than a secluded garden overflowing with untamed blooms? There is much joy to be found here involving all of the senses. Imagine being surrounded by the sweet fragrance of roses, or the delicate texture of a petal on your fingertips. For this reason there is much effort in the handcrafted flowers for this card, as I truly want to bring this garden to life.

Below you'll find some close ups of the handmade roses.

The sentiment stamp speaks to my heart, for gardens truly are a place of miracles.

A tiny key to the gates can be found in the corner of the card, as this garden is open to all who care to share in this space.

A natural twine bow adorns the bottom of the card.

Below is a peek at the interior of the card.

It's been such an honor to have you visit today! I hope you've enjoyed spending some quiet moments in my little garden.

Springtime Bliss

I wish a happy hello to all of my sweet friends! How are you doing today? I hope you're well and enjoying fine weather, though March can certainly be and unpredictable month. I'm once again honored to be posting on the Maja Design Blog, sharing this new card inspired by springtime flowers and pastels. I'm using the lovely Coffee in the Arbour paper collection, as the pretty yellows, greens, and roses seem to sing to me.

Featured in today's card are handcrafted blooms, leaves, and layers of pastel design paper. You'll also find some painted and distressed corrugated board, natural twine, and venice lace, for hints of the rustic as well as a feminine touch. A bit of grunge and elegant script stamping add to the overall effect.

The cheery hand stamped sentiment is perfect for almost every occasion. Below are some close ups of the handmade florals.

You can see the layers of distressing and stitching along the edges of the card, as well as a bit of the interior with it's coordinating script stamping.

I send a huge thanks to each of you who have stopped in to visit today. If you're interested in bringing this paper collection (or any of the other gorgeous papers!) home with you, just click on this STORE FINDER tab, and you'll be transported to an online store near you.
