Hi Roadies. Julia here.
One of my favorite Maya Road products in their Vintage Tape Measure Trim Ribbon. I just can't get enough. In fact I've gone through so many yards of it I just can't keep track.
The Vintage Tape Measure Trim can be used as a ribbon, as a border, formed into a flower and used for a myriad of other ideas. Today I have a couple cards to share featuring this trim that I hope will inspire you to try it out for yourself.
My first card uses the trim as a wrapped banner idea. It's wrapped around one of the Maya Road Kraft Envelopes. I like using a hot glue gun when working with the Tape Masure Trim to hold it securely in place. Both sides of this trim are printed, one in imperial and the other metric, which makes it perfect for two sided folds.
To add in some sweet embellishments, I've turned to some more Maya Road faves... Medium Leaves, Vintage Pearl Butterfly Trinket Pins, Vintage Findings Pearl Centers and Saffron Twine Cording. On the Mini Tag Canvas Piece you can get a look at the new Ornate Botanicals Stamp Set.
My second card came about as I played around with folding some Vintage Tape Measure Trim. A few quick folds turns it into a trendy chevron border. Once again I've turned to a hot glue gun to hold it all in place. I've added in the White Vintage Tape Measure Trim for this card for variation of color.
Maya Road goodies always work together so seamlessly. Here I've paired up White Kraft Large Ticket Strips, Yellow Country Gingham Posies, Trinket Buttons, Vintage Paper Posies and Heart Trinket Pins.
Thanks for joining us today!
Oh my gosh!! I love these cards. My fav is the red chevron one. That is simply amazing! You rocked this ribbon!
