Beautiful Purple Butterfly Card - With Maja Design

I'm here to share a pretty purple card I made using the Enjoying Outdoors collection from Maja Design.

This collection features exquisite shades of purples and greens making a fun and versatile collection. The images on the collection inspire year-round crafting possibilities - from the fun umbrellas and Wellington boots to the greens and florals.

I'm a purple fan so the papers in Enjoying Outdoors really speaks to me.

The image above shows the papers I used from Maja Design - Enjoying Outdoors. Click here to see the entire collection of gorgeous papers.

Maja Design - What a Beautiful Day

Maja Design - Picking Flowers ( both A and B side)

The design has beautiful delicate details. Because of this, I left my embellishments on the plain and simple side so that the papers had an opportunity to shine.

A little about the accents on this card...the featured embellishment I chose is a chipboard butterfly from Creative Embellishments - Butterflies Set 5. I left the chipboard piece in it's original color with no treatments because the kraft color of the chipboard was a nice accent.

The decorative circle die is from Graphic 45 - Staples Collection - Square Tag and Clock. I chose to leave out the clock face.

I also have some pink adhesive pearls as finishing touches.

Embellishing Cards Can be Easy

Creative Embellishments has a wonderful selection of chipboard, veneer and flair buttons perfect for embellishing cards. These products can help make your crafting so much easier. Simply pop them on a card and the magic is practically done.

I crafted two cards using the following chipboard pieces painted with creamy rose gold acrylic paint:

Small Sentiment Words

Flourish Butterflies

The Small Sentiment Words chipboard pieces are especially handy because the package contains so many options for expressing your thoughts.

This is the second card. There isn't a lot to this card. It was easy to quick, but the Flourish Butterflies chipboard piece makes such a lovely focal point.

No fancy chipboard treatments needed. Simple is all you need sometimes. This has been painted with acrylic paint.

My paper choice is Graphic 45 Seasons Collection 12x12.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Petaloo Blog Hop - Christmas Home Decor with Graphic 45 and Xyron

Petaloo blog hop with special guests, Graphic 45 and Xyron.

I'm Jennifer Snyder - welcome to my blog. This is a special blog hop with Graphic 45, Xyron and Petaloo and spans several days so make sure you catch all the art on display. A great place to start is at the Petaloo blog, found here.

As you scroll through this post, I'm sure you'll be able to see the fun and creative joy I had with all these wonderful manufacturers.

I made a matching wooden box/card gift set. My inspiration for the set was taken from the Graphic 45, St Nicholas collection - the traditional Christmas colors and imagery but with a marvelous twist. I found the bits of black in the paper and matching embellishments so alluring. I had a black wooden cigar box in my stash and it finally needed to be used. A divine pairing I must say!

Here's a look at the Graphic 45 "St Nicholas" collection so you can get a feel for those traditional colors and imagery...just with Graphic 45's world famous twist.

This is a close look at the box. The front is adorned with Petaloo Flowers - Darjeeling Mini Poinsettias in Red nestled in the Petaloo Vintage Velvet Holly Leaves - surrounding Graphic45 - St Nicholas collection's chipboard.

Below is the top view of the box - my "helicopter view" as I like to call it. My gold accent choices really make that red and black of the paper and Petaloo flowers pop.

Once again a Graphic 45 chipboard piece is used as a wreath adorned with Petaloo florals -Petaloo Flowers - Regal Velvet Poinsettia in Red and Petaloo's Pine Pick w/Cones and Berries .

This is the card that I created to go with the gift box. I used similar elements from the box to create cohesiveness - like the Graphic45 - St Nicholas chipboard, Petaloo Holly Leaves and the Poinsettia. I used the berries from the Petaloo Pinecone Pick.

I used the Xyron Tape Runner to help assemble the layers of the card. the tape runner glides along the paper with super ease.

Now for the inside of the gussied-up cigar box. I grabbed Xyron's 3" Disposable Sticker Maker to adhere the Graphic 45 Die Cuts. This was a fun process as well.

And one last look at the gift set from the inside.

Thanks for being a part of this blog hop between Petaloo ,
Graphic 45 and Xyron.

Christmas Cards With JustRite Stamps and Graphic45 Paper

JustRite Papercrafts has some new Christmas stamps out. Too early to think about Christmas cards you say? Nonsense. People need time to think about the purchase, make the order and receive them in the mail. It's a process. Don't forget that crafting time requires some free time so that needs to be worked into the schedule.

I understand all this - which is why I am showing you Christmas cards right now. Like I said, it's a process and for me, it is always best to start early.

Extra bonus??? JustRite Large Oval Christmas Wishes Clear Stamp is currently 50% off! (for a limited time only).

Now for my paper choice...I had an 8x8 paper pad of Graphic 45's 12 Days of Christmas that I pulled out to use. The colors are fabulous.

I used JustRite Large Oval Christmas Wishes Clear Stamp to create the little stamped greens on the ornaments, the "noel" and the "Merry Christmas" sentiment. You can see the stamp set right below.

What I especially love about this particular set is that it can be used to create cards that are religious, for Christmas, and also for general holiday/ seasonal wishes.

In addition to the Graphic 45 papers, so festive and cheery, I decided to keep the embellishments to a minimum and let the paper and stamping act as the main elements. The tiny "sprig of greens" stamp is really perfect for filling in my ornament grouping. .

I used this stamp , JustRite Playful Painted Trio Background Stamp, to create the strings holding the ornaments.

This card is not super fancy and is rather easy to make. I guess that is the point. If you are making 30 cards, they need to be easy and be something that can be popped in a n envelope to be mailed.

Thanks for stopping here.
