Tall Jan

Posted on 16 May, 2012 by Jenny

We have a lighthouse called Långe Jan (Tall Jan) in Sweden. My brother is also called Jan and happens to be 6.89″ (210 cm) so I thought I’d make a birthday card for him with Långe Jan. I have used the paper Navigera from the Life By The Sea collection for the card. Lace from LSS. I have used the Nestabilities die set Labels Seventeen for the tag. Papers distressed with Distress Ink Walnut Stain.

I have used Bland Kobbar och Skär, Landmärke and Flaskpost for the tag.

Wedding Book Card ♥

Posted on 11 May, 2012 by Camilla

Hi Maja Fans! I am sure many of you have gotten the lovely Vintage Summer Basics by now, and felt the excellent quality and seen the beautiful patterns. I am in love:)

For today I have made a wedding book card.

A dear colleague of mine at work is going to USA (!!!) to attend a wedding there.

And she asked me to make the card.

I have used the pattern paper called 1922 for this card. I have used both sides of the paper. I have used 1921 for the Wrapped Heart tag and where I have used the Scalloped Dotted Lace (DooHickeys from Magnaolia) on the frame.

Under you can see some flower details, and two butterflies which I have made with a Martha Stewart punch.

I have fasten some cheese cloth behind the frame, and it is as all the paper sewed with my sewing machine and inked with Distress Ink pad-Walnut stain. I use Tim Holtz blending tool for this. A regular sponge is fine, but when I use the TH blending tool I don’t get any ink on my fingers.

Down in the corner of the book I have placed several flowers.

And on them I have fastened a beautiful key charm from Hjerteboden. I have fastene it with tacky glue.

The white dots I have around the edge are made with Liquid Pearls-White Opal.

I have also decorated the inside of the book. My colleague wasn’t going to have a gift inside the card anyway, so I had my hands free:) Behind Tilda and Edwin there is a heart covered with mostly roses.

And over the heart filled with flowers I have put a banner with the wedding couple’s names.

To fasten Tilda and Edwin I have simply glued their feet in one of the folds in the book.

On the other side I have placed a paper to write a greeting on.

When you close the book, it looks like a bookmark coming up:)

The swirls and the text “Til Brudeparet” are from Stempelglede.

Their initials are made with the Tim Holtz Vintage Market alphabet. I cut them out from cardboard, then painted them with white gesso, then crackle paint-picket fence, then inked the edges a little with walnut stain, before eventually adding Crackle Accents to them:) All that work for just two letters..

Here is both the front and back.

At last I can mention that the images are coloured with Distress Markers and Distress Ink, reinkers.

Thank you so much for visiting,

and I hope you liked my Wedding Book Card ♥

Flower basket

Posted on 8 May, 2012 by Jenny

Me and a friend had our yearly scrappy weekend at her parents summer cabin. We had a lot of fun, ate absolutely too much candy and managed to make a creation or two. I made this flower basket for Mother’s Day.

I have used the Vintage Summer Basics collection. 1912 for the handle and the base. All flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Magnolia. They have been sprayed with Glimmer Mist Chalkboard Chalk. Pearls from Michaels.

The blue paper is called 1914. I have used Stickles Platinum on the base. The border has been punched with the Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page set Eyelet Lace. The circles have been cut out with Nestabilities dies.

The basket from above.

Have a great week!

A card for mum

Posted on 6 May, 2012 by Karin

This week I share a card I have made for my mum. When I got the Vintage Summer Basic papers she was among the first I shared the new line with. Of course she loved them as vintage is really her thing. I made her a little card out of the papers with lot’s of lace and pearls since those are her favourites. I hope she will like it as well.
