Hi Roadies! It's Julia here today with Day 2 of our Maya Road + Epiphay Crafts Blog Swap.
Are you inspired yet? I'm sure you must be with such a fun product combo! Make sure you stay tuned all week for more projects and ideas from Maya Road and Epiphany Crafts.
Today I have a pretty shabby style card and tag combo that features lots of Maya Road goodies and the Shape Studio Tool Oval 25 from Epiphany Crafts.
There was a lot of excitement in our house last week when my oldest son got engaged. We are so thrilled for him and his fiance. My family is growing...a much easier way this time for me. I wanted to create a special card to send to my daughter-in-law-to-be.
I loved working with the Epiphany Crafts Oval Shape Studio Tool. It punches beautiful small ovals and adds epoxy stickers on top of them for a custom embellishment. I found that this oval tool worked so well with the Maya Road line of products. They looked really sweet clustered with Maya Road's trims and embellishments and the ovals were perfectly in proportion to the Maya Road Chipboard Foundations Set. Don't they layer beautifully together?
Here's a closeup detail. I love how the epoxy shines and adds a lovely contrast to the textured glitter and trims.
Tags are really fun and quick projects to create and while my supplies were out, I decided to make one. This tag will probably go on a future shower gift. For this project I created a fun punched background using the Oval Shape Studio Tool. You can use this tool as a simple punch if you don't wish to add the epoxy stickers. After the oval background was adhered, I stamped over it with some Maya Road clock stamps and the upcoming Vintage Wallpaper Stamp sheet.
Once again I found that some Maya Road products worked well with this tool. As an accent I adhered an epoxy topped oval to a Kraft Scalloped Oval Tag and it layered beautifully. One of the great things about the Epiphany Shape Tools is that the punch opening faces up so that you can easily line up exactly the portion of paper you wish to punch.
