A Layout to Share

Hi Roadies, Sarah Moore here today. I am sure you are all overwhelmed by all the yummy new release items we have been seeing! AMAZING new stuff to play with.

Today I am sharing a layout with you all! Thats a big change for me. AND I have been busy playing with different textures as well!

Items needed to complete this Page are as follows:

1. Papers by MME

2. Hexagons Chipboard Set

3. 1/4 inch Camellia Pink Double stitched Velvet Ribbon

4. Vintage Wood Mini Butterflies

5. Ruffle Blossoms cream

6. Velvet Point Blossom Pink

7. Trinket Pins Vintage Round Pearl and Pink Heart

8. Velvet Resin Blossom Cream

9. Deborah Mini Chipboard Alphabet

10. Maya Mist Metallic Bubblegum

11. Kraft Shipping Tag   (to cover hexagon)

12. Canvas Heart Album Page   (to cover hexagon)

13. other flower vine

14 plaing white rose to spray with mist

15. White texture paste

16. Tmplate Stencil

 

The first step obce the paper base was assembled is to mix up some of the mist. I added some to a plastic container as per picture below:

 

Now add a small amount of the texture paint to the plasic container and mix up:

I then used a stencil to add it to the layout.

I used this in 2 places on the layout, set aside and allow to dry.

Cover assorted pieces of the hexagons in patterned paper, canvas and Kraft, then add to your layout

Use the mist to spray your title and add to layout, then coat with Crackle Accent. Also use the mist to spray your white flower then attach to the layout.

Mount a 6 x 4 inch photo to cream cardstock then attach to page, I added some plain pink cardstock as well, slightly under the photo.

Add the flower vine and then add Maya Road Blossoms and resin Flower. Alsi attach your vintage butterfly to a hexagon shape. I added mine to one I covered with Kraft.

 Add the ribbon to layout as per picture

You will also notice that I have sprayed some mist directly onto the layout, for some extra texture.

I love that not all the circles are perfect!

To finish my layout off I placed it in a 12 x 12 frame! I hope you all love this technique as much as me!

Hexagon Love

Hello Roadies! One of my surprise loves from the Early Spring release is the Hexagons Chipboard Set. I tend to resist most of the trends, but when I started playing with these chipboard pieces, I was swayed mightily. Little bits of graphic joy all bundled together. What's not to love?

Five different sizes and two different varieties, a solid and a removable center, there is so much one can do! I tried numerous techniques on this card, I misted the chipboard with Avocado, Fig Magenta, Mustard Yellow, and Charcoal.

I cut out a reverse mask so I could stamp with the Houndstooth Singleton Stamp set and then used it for misting as well.

I framed one of the shapes with some Earl Grey zipper trim I'd cut down and snipped to fold nicely at the corners.

I also misted one of the Vintage Wooden Butterflies with Charcoal, then I covered it and a hexagon with some of the Iridescent Glitter.

 I covered the large hexagon with some fabric paper and topped it off with the butterfly and a Vintage Leaf Pin in Pearl Cream. So pretty. I finished the card off with a strip of Trinket Ribbon in Pebble, it's a fabulous grey!

See how many things you can do with one chipboard set? And I didn't even emboss them! But that works great too, I just did it for one of my upcoming CHA projects. :)

And the coolest thing? If you stagger them just right, you can use various sizes together seemlessly like I did. What a fun look!

 

Butterfly Kisses Layout

Hello Roadies! Ronda here with you today! Have you seen then new Early Summer Releases?  Color this Mister happy when I spotted the new butterfly masks!   A perfect combination for the vibrant Maya mists.  On the layout I am sharing with you today, i used both sets of these masks.

Totally love that the butterfly mask set has both open and closed butterflies offering a variety ways to use them.  The Soar butterfly Mask is such a great size to use with any layout or the Soar Butterfly chipboard album.

To create this layout, i used both sets on the background.  The larger Soar Mask was placed at the top left while i used two smaller butterflies at the bottom right.  I used diluted sunflower and turquoise mists on the background.  To see how to dilute your Maya Mists, check out this video on the Maya Road You Tube Channel.  The dark splatters across the page are charcoal mists. 

To accent the big soar butterfly, i added in a few other butterflies like the wooden one or the two stamped ornate vintage butterflies. 

The ruffled flowers were a perfect match for the mists as is the new slushie blue twine cording.  I love it when a layout falls together and this was definitely one of them.  That butterfly masks sparked a story and inspired the whole creation.  What will they inspire you to create?

 

Maya Road Guest Designer: Nathalie Kalbach

Hello Roadies!  We have a special treat for you.   Nathalie Kalbach is our very special guest designer today.   Nat took our Maya Road products and put her very artistic spin on them.  We are sharing her mini album, art bag, and  stellar "Every Wall"  canvas.  She even graciously put together a video tutorial detailing her unique canvas.  Let's take a closer look at all her beautiful creations.

Nat's beautiful Road Trip Mini album use a mix of the  Maya Road Canvas Flag Banner and the Maya Road Chipboard Flag Banner Album as its base.  A variety of Maya Mist adorn the pages of this mini album.  A great feature of the Maya Road Canvas albums is that the canvas doesn't bleed.  You can spray lots of mist on one side and the other side will remain blank until you are ready to alter it. 

Using a stencil and Maya Mists she created both negative and positive images on her pages.  She adorned her photos with a varitey of chipboard images and words from the Hand & Heart chipboard set. 

Here are some close up details of her wonderful pages. 

Nat's created an awesome art bag using the Maya Road Alterable Canvas Messenger Bag.  She added a page from the Canvas Flag Mini album to create her pocket.  She used lots of Maya Road Mists to get the bold colorful front of her tote.  The Deborah Chipboard was her stencil for the word "Art bag."  We love how Nat made the perfect art travel bag. 

We love this  very clever 12 x 12 canvas using lots of Chipboard Doorways, Maya Mists, and Gesso.  Nat generously created a video sharing how she made this awesome artistic piece.  Go to our Maya Road You Tube Channel to see her great video. 

Thank you Nathalie for sharing your awesome artistic creations with us today.  A big thank you for the awesome video and insights into your creative process.  Roadies make sure you check out Nathalie's website to see more of her beautiful creations. 

The Canvas Cuff Needle Case

Hi Roadies! It's Julia here with an altered project and a few thoughts on thinking creatively.I'm always on the lookout for more creative ideas and I'm sure you are too.

Being creative means having an open mind to possibilities. Products can be used as they were created to be used but there is always so much more you can do with them. Keep an open mind while creating and you'll find you have a wealth of ideas to draw from. Think outside the box.

Enter the Canvas Cuff Needle Case...

 

Today's project is one that I've had in my head for a couple months and was excited the other day to try it out. I like to keep a notebook with me to jot down my ideas. If you're like me, there's never enough time in the day and keeping that running list of ideas means that you don't forget them or run out of creative inspiration.

As you can see, instead of using the Alterable Canvas Cuff as an apparel accessory, flattened it makes a very pretty needle case.

 

To make the case I first started out by masking and misting the outside of the canvas. I've used two of my favorite Maya Mists, Pomegranate Pink and Sunburst Orange. Heat set the mist on the canvas after applying to make it permanent.

 

Inside my canvas cuff/needle case, I added some Milk Daisies Vintage Lace Trim. To keep my needles safe,  I've folded a piece of felt in half and then cut the edges with pinking sheers. Both the trim and the felt adhere well with a hot glue gun.

My favorite part of any project is adding on the embellishments. Heart Trinket Pins, Pink Country Gingham Posies, Vintage Denim Rose, Pumpkin Orange Zipper Trim, Orange Small Organza Roses Ribbon and a Velvet Resin Blossom finish off the design. The mixture of felt with trims and fabric flowers is perfect for the sewing theme.

Look at your supplies in a new way and you'll be amazed at what you can create. Hope I've inspired you...

Star Canvas Baby Album

The possibilities with canvas are endless. Among the many many things I love about Maya Road, I absolutely adore all the canvas products. Canvas is a wonderful base for all manner of artistic and creative projects. I love the frayed edges, the way you can stitch it and it's a wonderful alternative to paper for a unique album.

One of my latest album projects uses the Canvas Star Coaster Album. It's a sweet little album that fits in the palm of your hand and I thought it would be a darling mini baby scrapbook for one of my children.

Canvas albums are easy to add color to and each page of this album has been misted with Green Apple Maya Mist and/or Blue Agave Metallic Mist. It's easy to mist a design onto a page by using a template or mask over the canvas before misting.

 

Bottlecaps make a perfect accent for the front cover of albums. This Super Mega Bottle Cap is trimmed with Sky Blue Zipper Trim and Earl Grey Tulle Pleat Trim. The inside is filled with a cluster of embellishments: Green Gingham Point Blossoms, Grey Velvet Pleats flowers, a White Time Flies Kraft Clock, White Star Trinket Pins, Black Mini Ticket Strip Transparencies and Vintage Flag Kraft Pins.

The Foundation Chipboard set makes a great frame for photos. This one is stained and inked and then accented with a crown from the Crowns Mini Chipboard Set and trimmed with some Maya Road Crochet Trim.

 

Maya Road stamps also make a great accent on a canvas album. This page is stamped with the Vintage Scale and Balance stamp. It's personalized with a name spelled with the Jonathon Mini Chipboard Alphabet.

 

Kraft Notes and Envelopes make a great place to journal and hide little bits of memorabilia. One of my favorite Maya Road stamp sets is the Spool Sentiments stamp set which decorates this envelope along with a Green Resin Blossom.

To finish off, here's a little peek at the misting on the back of the album.

Have you tried Maya Road Canvas items? How do you like to alter them?

Thanks for joining me today...

Be Mine Banner

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, i knew i wanted to make a banner for my daughter's dorm room.  I started this banner with the large square coaster.  On half of the banner i attached misted canvas fabric.  On the other have of the coasters, i used old book paper.  Repetition in design is always good so on the canvas fabric coasters i used large design elements.  On the book paper coasters, i used the butterflies i created in January for this blog post with a few alterations.   For the sheers, i added Popsicle mist like in this blog post.  Once i finished each coaster, i used the new linen burlap ribbon to create those cute pieces that are in between each coaster.  Here are the details photos of each piece. 

Lots of Love

Ronda

Two for Thursday

I love using Maya Road to accent my layouts.  I can always find the perfect embellishment to go with my designs.  Kraft goes with everything and i admit i am addicted to the mini kraft jotter tags.  To balance this layout i used the buttons & kraft pieces to create a visual triangle.  My subtle Sunflower Mists (diluted) brings all the yellow pieces together.

Maya Road Product

• Mini Kraft Jotter Tags
• Mini Kraft Tickets
• Gingham Point Blossom
• Sunflower Mist

On this layout i used some smaller bits & pieces from Maya Road.  I love the resin blossoms & how they come in two different sizes.  The itty bitty brown resin flowers were perfect for this page.  The small daisy vintage trim is a great way to customize my banner.  I also added some Mini Scallop Chipboard set to my banner to give it some dimension.  It's amazing how those small pieces can add such a big impact to the page.
