Creating Cards with Maya Road and Xyron

Welcome to Day 4 of the Maya Road and Xyron Blog Swap!  We're so excited to be pairing up with Xyron for five days full of fabulous inspiration. You will find  inspiration here on the Maya Road Blog as well as on Xyron's designers' blogs. Look for lots of inspiration under the hashtags... #mayaroad #xyron.

 

Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a prize. The prizes will be chosen from entries on all of the blog posts about the swap, including this one. Winner will be announced here on the blog next week. So stop by and comment each day for a chance to win! Today I have two cards to share using two new dies that are coming out from Maya Road soon and some great adhesives from Xyron. 

I created my card with the a new Celebrate Cupcake Die Bundle from Maya Road. With the new die I cut the cupcake, candle, flame, and sentiment. I love the stitching detail on the cupcake! 

Here's how I used the  1 1/2 inch Xyron Stick Maker to make my card so easy to put together. When I die cut sentiments for a project I like to add one or two layers of cut card stock together to give a little more depth. The sticker maker that so easy to accomplish. 

Behind the cupcake I added a frame detail with the Maya Road Scalloped Frame ATC Die. In the lower corner I added a Felt Roses in Fuchsia Pink and topped the cupcake with a few gold sequins. 

The Xyron 3" Sticker Makers is perfect with large dies and the Mega Runner is my favorite tape runner! 

My second card uses the Enjoy Coffee Die Bundle. I used dies in the set to create the spoon, coffee cup, heart, and sentiment, using the sticker makers as I did on the first card. 

Behind the cup I added a little sunshine with the Sunburst ATC Die and added a Round Jeweled Center. I added a token from the Wood Daily Grind Tokens and a Small Vintage Paper Flowers in White.

Thanks for stopping by! And be sure to leave a comment to win a prize!

Love Card Xyron and Maya Road Swap by Yasmin

Hello, It's Yasmin here on the blog today, joining you in the Maya Road and Xyron blog swap with little romantic card. 

I've used the new Maya Road Card die-sets along with some of the other gorgeous Maya Road products. 

I die-cutted out loads of the roses and leaves from the die-set and used it in the background. They are quite large so the large Xyron maker in the picture here is perfect for gluing these roses and making a sticker. I added some of Maya Roads beautiful paper roses, a camera and a heart pin. 

It's so easy to use, just add the die-cut, pull it through and all you have to do is rub on top of the newly made sticker and peel. 

I remember when I started scrapbooking for about 11 years ago some of the first things I bought was dies and a Xyron Pink X. The X sticker maker is so perfect for smaller die-cuts like the love word and the banner. For the large paper pieces I used the Xyron Mega Runner to glue my papers together.

Small Vintage Paper Flowers (TK2997)

Camera Clips (MVT2923)

Altered box for Maya Road and Xyron swap

 

 

 

Hey Roadies! It's Yvonne here to share my altered box for the Maya Road and Xyron swap. :)

I started with a pull-out box that was packaging for a planner. I drew inspiration from the pop of yellow in the pull-out portion of the box and picked my Maya Road embellishments to coordinate.

I cut a piece of patterned paper to size and ran it through the Xyron Creative Station for an even layer of adhesive. The flat elements  like the diecuts, frame and lace trim were ran through the Xyron sticker maker and adhered to the cover of the box.

Once that was done, it was time to put together my embellishment clusters! Can you spot the Maya Road goodies I used? 

Here are the Maya Road supplies I used:

1. Wood Sew Token

2. Tulle Mini Bloom in sunny yellow

3, Pretty Resin Bow in sand

4. Resin Nesting Bird in snow white

5. Vintage Crafting Tassels in saffron yellow

6. Royal Key Charm

7. Wood Shipping Tag

8. Vintage Wood Spool

9. Mini Wood Spool

10. Trinket pin - leaf

11. Trinket pin - vintage pearl

12. Roses Vintage Lace Trim - cloud

13. Antique Mini Quill Feather

14. Paper Leaf - medium

15. Crystal Flower Button

16. Love Note Charm

Hope you've been inspired to decorate a box with Maya Road goodies!

 

Gift Card Boxes with Xyron

Hello, everyone! Today we're kicking off a swap with our friends at Xyron. I tend to do a lot of die-cutting these days, both manual and electronic.  One of the most frustrating parts of working with tiny die-cuts is dealing with the adhesive! Thankfully we have the awesome products of Xyron to help with this task... they really do make it easier!

I created a pair of gift card boxes (because school has started and I know I will need tons of these!) with several of the new, small Maya Road dies.  These dies are idea for cards but are also the perfect size for projects like this:


I die-cut the box first as an electronic cut.  Anyone who has ever assembled these sorts of boxes knows there are always a bunch of tabs and folds that need to be adhered together. The fastest and cleanest way to do this is with an adhesive runner like the Xyron Mega Runner.


How cute are these new coffee dies!? I see these being used over and over again for the teachers in my life this year!


But... they are assembled from tiny cuts. I really hate cutting out my pieces and then adding adhesive and then it makes a big mess. The Xyron Sticker Makers absolutely handle this issue perfectly! I used the smaller X Sticker Maker (there's a reason this product has been around forever) for the itty bitty cuts and the larger 3" disposable Sticker Maker for the larger ones. 


Another great thing about the Sticker Makers is that you can use them with multiple materials.  I sent standard cardstock, patterned paper, metallic paper, and even felt through them!


My second box is a birthday box and I couldn't resist that sweet little cupcake with some fluffy frosting. I whitewashed a birthday token and tied the box with twine.


Thanks, Xyron, for the super useful products and for making my creating a snap!
