Gift package "To be wonderful" from Julia MITRA.

Hello, guys!

It's Julia here and my art inspiration) Do you decorate the packaging for a gift? After all, it's not only beautiful, but also a lot of fun! And also very imaginative! In fact, gift wrapping is a canvas on which you can draw a special story!

My project is a gift bag for my friend for her birthday. This package will contain a "real" gift, of course))

Anastasia (a friend's name) likes blue colors and muted, soft shades. So I decided to combine it!

Our stunning IAR flowers decorate my packaging:

🌻 R43 White Peony Paper Flower

🌻 R6 2.5 cm SNOW White Roses

🌻 R21 Solid Nude Pink May Roses

🌻 R8 1.5 cm Solid Aqua Blue Open Roses

🌻 S10L Large Achillea Cottage - Beige

I decided to make a colorful background, so I used a white primer as the basis, and then applied a texture paste using a stencil. And I added paints - watercolor sprays "Blue dreams", "Cinnamon", "Strong coffee" and chalk "Beige".

For decoration I used bundles of sisal, background and detail chipboard, die-cuts, stamping, butterflies, cabochons.

The background is very attractive!

And a little sparkle and shine with rhinestones!

Do you like to decorate the packaging?))

See you in our September IAR Challenge!

Bye-bye, sweeties!

With love, Julia)

The basis of cards is scrappaper from Scrapberry's, which I decorated with washi tape, as well as background text stamping.

Also for decoration, I used small cards from the collection of paper on a school theme and a lot of die cuts (AgiArt, Fantasy, Prima, MFT, ScrapMan, Magnolia, Joy Crafts, Sizzix, Alexandra Renke and others).

Among the decor, you can consider a cord (twine), a chipboard, decorative berries and buttons - plastic and wooden.

And, of course, the inscriptions are congratulations on the holiday and on the beginning of the school year. Back to school!

"Afternoon tea" cardmaking from Julia MITRA.

Hello there!

Its Julia MITRA here with my floral inspiration and the aroma of afternoon tea.

To create this project, I was inspired by the nature of late August, the blooms and the atmosphere of the last days of summer... After all, it's so calm, measured and very homely.

Our beautiful IAR flowers perfectly decorated my card! I used:

🌸 R77L Large 2" Solid Yellow Cream Sweet Moon Roses

🌸 S3 Red - Yellow Variegated Cherry Blossoms

🌸 S15 Dusty Green Small Spring Cottage

🌸 S10m Small Achillea Cottage - WHITE

🌸 S10xs Mini Achillea Cottage - Mixed 10 Solid Rainbow - Orange

🌸 T2 Tiny Mixed Blue Flat Die Cut Flowers

For decoration, I used background and detailed stamping (cotton buds), cutting, dry embossing, bunches of sisal, cotton lace, decorative berries and fruits, natural cork and wooden buttons.

Would you like some afternoon tea?)

The "cork" house in combination with a checkered paper background, as well as the palette of the project look very cozy and warm! And, of course, the shades set a relaxing mood for the card. I just want to relax on this wonderful day!

And what inspires you in the last days of this summer?)

Show us your projects!

See you in our August IAR Challenge!

With love, Julia))

"Hello, sea!" cardmaking from Julia MITRA.

Hello, friends!

Its Julia MITRA here and my real sea inspiration for you!

All you know that travel has become almost impossible due to the pandemic. And, unfortunately, my "date" with the sea is postponed indefinitely... However, I am not upset! On the contrary, I try to put all my thoughts about blue waters, white sand, fish and octopuses in my projects.

So, it's time to say "Hello, SEA!"

In my project I used a sheet of paper with shells from Atmosphere on the background with craft and a lot of decoration on the sea theme from Fabrika Decoru.

And, off course, I used our stunning IAR flowers!

🌸 R6 Size 1" or 2.5 cm SNOW White Roses

🌸 S11 Size 3/4" or 2cm Mixed 4 Pastel Summer Cottage

🌸 S10 Small Achillea Cottage - Solid Baby Blue

🌸 P9 Mini Mixed All Blue / White Hydrangea Die Cut

In the layers you can see bundles of sisal, cotton and wool cord, lace, marine-themed cutouts, die-cuts, stickers and a chipboard.

At the end I added a small topping from Prima, splash of sprays and a little pearl paint.

On the back of the card - 100% relaxation!

Thanks for watching!

And have a good time))

With love, Julia)

"Summer daydream" ECO cardmaking from Julia MITRA

 Hello everyone!

Its Julia MITRA here with my inspiration in eco style. Today I have prepared an atmospheric card with natural elements "Summer daydream". 

In summer, I am very inspired by the theme of the sea and nature. And it so happened (hello pandemics!) that this year I am inspired by the second, namely the natural charm and beauty. Therefore, my new project is about nature and life.

At the heart of the project, I used the Botany Summer collection from Fabrika Decoru and decorated it with various elements and decor.

And I used our amazing flowers, of course:

🌸 S15 Taupe Small Spring Cottage Paper Flowers

🌸 S10 Small Achillea Cottage - Dusty Green

🌸 S10 small Achillea Cottage - Beige

🌸 T2 Tiny White Flat Die Cut Flowers

For the decor, I used a lot of stamping (background and detailed - ant and dragonfly - from Art Kladovaya), cotton lace, sisal, die-cuts, decorative mesh, wooden buttons, chipboard...

And I also took some paints and knitted leaves.

It turned out to be a very natural and atmospheric card! What do you think?)

Thanks for watching!

With love, Julia)
