Friends are the heart of Christmas ► Majo

 

Hello, my friends!

Are you as anxious to start with the Christmas Decoration as I am? I bought tons of new ornaments and stuff and now I have time to create all the boxes and bags I need for friends and family.

 

This time I used the following stamps:

 3766 Berry Background

1441 Sentiment

18847 Large Doily

 I stamped the beautiful Berry Background in different shades of Green and matted it. The love the doily stamp and used it for my ornaments. I also hat embossed my stamping. The Christmas Greeting finished the panel, which I adhered to my bag. Of course, this also makes a beautiful Christmas card.

 Have fun, my friends.

Have a wonderful time until Christmas with lots of time for crafting, see you in 2 weeks ♥

Inhale the future, exhale the past ► Majo

Good Morning, my friends,

 today I show you a condolence card. Sometimes it just needs one of them. I created it for a friend, she didn’t want the black & white regular one, so I “pepped” it up a bit.

 

 I stamped and heat embossed the flower on a piece of an old book page and distressed the edges. I stamped the sentiment, matted it and adhered everything on red cardstock. I put another sentiment on the inside as comforting words.

 

 

I have used the following stamps:

20036

19892

20224

 Please find time to craft during these difficult times, stay safe and happy ♥

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas Bags ► Majo

Good morning, my dear friends.

 Since I hadn’t created a lot of Christmas cards this year, at least I gave my little presents away in a stamped paper bag.

 

 

I used a lot of silver, gold and copper and embossing powder.

I cut panel from design paper to the size to fit my bags and randomly stamped firs, dots, the cute little deer and the snowflakes. The snowflake is a die from Sizzix, designed by Tim Holtz, the sntiment is computer generated.

It’s such an easy way to dress up a paper bag. I do this a lot, rather than wrapping paper around my present.

 Without further ado here are some pictures for you …..

 

 I have used the following stamps:

5485

10766

12725

 4526

7986

  I wish you a good start into 2021, stay safe and find time for your favorite hobby "Crafting".

Luv y'all ♥

 

 

 

Enchanted - Quick bookmarks

 Hey everyone,

Today I'm sharing two bookmarks with you. No fancy techniques this time, even no coloring, just a little stamping to fill up my lunch break while I was working from home.

I must admit that I have been a little uncreative over the last month. Such more simple projects help me getting back to the crafting table. So if your muse went on vacation, this might be a way to get back into your creative flow.

Here's how I made the bookmarks:

I cut the two pieces of paper to a size of 7 x 2.5 inch and used a small corner chomper. For bookmarks I prefer having round corners. Then I stamped the goddess on one and the raven on the other tag, using Versafine Clair ink. The next stamp I used was the "enchanted" lettering along with a multi-colored embossing powder. This creates some nice interest on the bookmarks as it contrasts the other more neutral colors I used.

For a little visual texture I grabbed the lace background stamp as well as a writing stamp from the same plate. Fun fact: When I stamped the lace I was really dissatisfied with the look - lucky that changed once I added the other stamp over it.

I added some ink to the edges and some mettalic thread to the top and that's it.

 

Here are some more detail photos of the two bookmarks:

Stamps used:
Raven Looking Up (20269)
Whimsical Tree Lady Nude (19681)
Lace Background (19298)
French Writing Background (19297)
Enchanted (18823)


Other supplies:
- left over paper (watercolor paper, kraft cardstock)
- corner chomper
- Versafine Clair ink (nocturne)
- Versamark ink
- Archival ink (pebble beach, watering can)
- WOW! embossing powder - Seth Apter "space dust"

Hope you like my project, even if it is such a simple one.

See you soon
