Maja Design Product Spotlight: Summer Parties
Hello, Friends! Welcome back to another exciting day on the Petaloo by Floracraft blog! We're featuring some gorgeous ideas for summer parties with beautiful papers from the fine folks at Maja Design, and pretty pretty Petaloo flowers.
Well, summer is upon us, and we are all probably more than ready for some summertime fun! It always seems like we go to a lot of parties during the summer months, and I like to share a little gift with the hostess. So today's Maja Spotlight post is all about gifts for the hostess with the mostest.
Wine is a natural choice for a hostess gift. Why not dress up your gift of wine with a pretty bottle hanger tag, ribbon, and flowers? Or, if wine is not your "thing" create a special little folio style card that can do double duty as home decor. This lovely vintage card contains a mini photo album and a sweet little notebook for your favorite hostess.
Mixed Media Wine Bottle Tag
I love these vintage papers from Maja Design's Vintage Spring, Summer and Autumn Basics.
I began by tracing a Graphic 45 Long Ivory Staples tag onto my chosen Maja Design paper. After cutting the tag out, I used a 1/2" circle punch to create the opening for the grommet on the tag. Then I stitched the paper to the tag base on my sewing machine. Next, I distressed and inked all the edges to amp up the vintage vibe. These Maja Design papers are so thick and heavy that they really stand up to distressing and inking. I chose images from one of the cut apart pages and sponged them randomly with Broken China Distress Oxide Ink to bring out more blue tones. Next, I layered the prepared images onto the tag.
The next step was adding gorgeous Penny Lane Flowers in various shades of blue. Seam binding ribbon, silver metallic string, a vintage style key, a painted butterfly and Wendy Vecchi bricks completed the design. Once the wine is gone, the bottle would make a really pretty piece of home decor, too.
A Shabby Chic Folio for Capturing Memories
Sticking with my blue and brown color palette, next I created this lovely little shabby chic folio. By adding a 1/2" spine to a 5" x 7" card base, I was able to transform a simple thank you card into a lovely gift.
Don't you just love these soft, vintage patterns and images?
This tiny silver spoon is one of the treasures I found while out junkin' with my husband. I dressed it up a little by adding a flower, ribbon and a miniature key onto the handle of the spoon.
I fell in love with this vintage photo of a mom and her children out riding bikes. What could be more perfect for summer?
The inside of the card is where the real party is going on! Look at all these lovely goodies stuffed into the pockets!
I love to create little folios where photos from a dinner party, birthday party or summer party can be preserved. This side pocket is just the right spot to tuck in such a folio.
A stamped image is distressed with inks, then mounted onto gorgeous Maja Design papers.
You can fit four 4" x 5.75" photos in this pretty little folio.
There's a double pocket on the bottom of the card. I stamped this thank you sentiment onto one of the pretty journal cards from the paper collection, then tucked it in between the paper layers.
And I made a lovely little notebook that fits inside the pocket. Oh my, but these papers are dreamy!
This was my first time working with Maja Design papers, and I have to say, I'm hooked! They are such a high quality paper, the colors are gloriously vintage and the patterns are divine! Thanks, Maja Design for sharing your beautiful product with the design team at Petaloo by Floracraft.
