Pop-Up Twist Birthday Wish Card

Today I'd like to here to present a pop-up twist card featuring two of my favorite product combinations - beautiful fun papers from Maja Design in Sweden and wonderful Creative Embellishments chipboard.

Since this card is a pop-up twist card, it's a bit of a surprise when it's opened.  Add on the chipboard and it's a real birthday treat complete with birthday cupcake. adding charm.

Here are the Creative Embellishments chipboard pieces I used on the cover of the card.

Flourish Dragonflies

Small Sentiment Words

What I especially love about the Small Sentiment Words chipboard set is the variety of sentiments and the number of cards, projects you can create with just one set.  Such a value.

Here is a close up of the front of the card.  I simply painted the chipboard pieces white to pop when added to the bright red Maja Design papers.

I have used  Maja Design's "Life in the Country" collection on my card. The collection is bright and happy and feels like a sunny day.  That is exactly the feeling one should have when opening a birthday card.  Well that's the feeling I like to have.  

These are the papers I chose: 

In My Flower Bed (both A&B side of paper)

Summer Kitchen (both A&B side of paper)

Strawberries with Ice

As I mentioned, this pop-up twist card offers some surprises. 

These are the Creative Embellishments  chipboard and veneer pieces that I used as little surprises on the inside of the card.  I tend to keep the chipboard simple with ink and paint.  Nothing too fancy.  

Heart Balloon Set

Cupcakes

Veneer Conversation Hearts

The pop-up twist die is from Karen Burniston's die collections.

Hope Keepsake Box

Hope Box - Happy Anniversary Home Decor

 Today I am sharing an altered box I made using Maja Design's new collection, Celebrations.   This collection is super special because it celebrates Maja Design's 10th anniversary.  10 years!  

My box project was created for the Feb. Mood Board, as seen above.   The challenge is open to interpretation - which your choice of colors, words, images as inspiration.   

 Come Join the Mood Board Challenge at Maja Design.  

I am also using some gorgeous chipboard and wood veneer embellishments from Creative Embellishments.

Maja Design Celebrations Collection:

Flower Giveaway

Jubilee (Both A and B sides of paper)

This new collection is absolutely stunning in person.  It's also versatile providing a great selection of blues and masculine colors/patterns for stronger masculine cards and projects.  

A little about the box.  It's a cheap pine treat/trinket box bought in the clearance section after Christmas.  The paper is perfect because it covers the Christmas Greeting on the top. 

I covered the sides, top and even the inside of the box with this collection.

I'd like to just gush a bit about the Creative Embellishments Wood Veneer Conversation Hearts.  These are the cutest conversation hearts I've ever seen.  They each have a word on the front, like your typical candy conversation heart - but the backside is blank giving the wood heart amazing versatility.  I've presented the hearts both ways on my project.

Next a bit about the Dream Word Set.  This chipboard set comes with five words: Hope, Dream, Wish, Imagine, Joy.  That means you can potentially create five cards/projects with these.  What an amazing value -( Hope, Dream, Wish, Imagine, Joy).

Thanks for stopping.
