Roadies, thank you to everyone who entered our Sneak Peek Week Giveaway. We will pick a winner on February 8th, 2012 so stay tuned!
Today we wanted to introduce to you our Antique Pearl Center Trim and tell you a bit more about it.
Don't you all love this fabulous trim? You can ink it or mist it to change it to a color of your choice.Each flower has a vintage jewel and pearls surrounding it.
During the show, we did have a couple of Retailers ask us about the price on it. The retail is $8.00 a yard in the US but let us break it down for you!
Did you also know there are 16 of these fabulous over 2" wide flowers per yard? The trim is created on a fabulous netting which you can cut so that each flower is separate. For the price of a yard of trim ($8.00/ yard) you get 16 fabulous flowers. That works out to about $0.50/ flower - what a deal!
We are also offering these pre-carded to our retailers in 1/2 yard lengths and the price is retail $4.00/ card. That still works out to about $0.50/ flower. How cool is that?
Roadies, our team is headed out to CHA in the morning. If you are going to the show make sure you stop by to pick up a Roadie Sticker:
Our team will be wandering the tradeshow floor on their breaks to pass out some goody packets of Maya Road loveliness to those they see wearing their stickers.
And you aren't going to want to miss out on our four (yes 4) different make and takes:
Come by our booth to check the schedule on these fabulous make and takes! You don't have to sign up but it is first come first serve basis.
Now back to the final reveal! Remember to leave a comment on your favorite today for a chance at a $25 prize pack of new MR goodies!
Before we get to the full catalog, we have a couple more things to share with you and things we are known for - how about some chipboard?
Let's start with our mini sets - we have with us our Hand and Heart Chipboard Set:
And we also have our Doorways Chipboard Set (love that you can punch and decorate all the little bits separately):
And to add to our super popular signature binders, we are bringing a 5" binder into the mix complete with all the chipboard pages:
And finally we have a flag banner to add into the mix:

Roadies, we are back to show you some new stuff from Maya Road! Today we are going to concentrate on some of our fabulous Trims and Trinkets in lots of fun colors! Are you ready? Remember to leave a comment on your favorite today for a chance at a $25 prize pack of new MR goodies!
Let's start with our Tulle Trims - this time in Slushie Blue and Lemon Yellow:
And if you didn't catch what you can do with our tulle, check out one of our latest video tutorials on making a beautiful flower with it!
And next, we have some of our most delish trim ever - our Vintage Rhinestone Trim - every single jewel is handset and each jewel is finished in an iridescent shimmer . We have our Amber, Emerald and Iridescent Diamond colors. Just a little tiny bit of the trim makes the most fabulous accent. The jewels are set in a beautiful metal setting that you can easily twist to cut apart or use some strong clippers:
And you know our fabulous Small Organza Roses Trim that we have had in our line for a while? We are going smaller by adding some Mini Organza Roses Trim:
If you can imagine these sweet flowers are 40% smaller than our Small Organza Roses Trim. That means you get even more tiny roses per yard (about 70 small roses/ yard). And you can change the colors by inking, misting or painting them. How cool is that?
Next we have some Frayed Edge Pleated Trim. We left the edges unfinished for a natural look but the colors are beautiful for beautiful flower making in Khaki, Denim and Faded Cherry:
And of course we added some new colors of Zipper Trim. We have had over 50,000 views on our Zipper Trim Brooch Tutorial and these colors would make the perfect Spring Zipper Flowers in Leaf Green, Sunshine Yellow and Bubblegum Pink:
Next we also have some Soft Vintage Scallop Trim in Cream and Mauve - these are lovely on their own or stitch them in a circle and add some bling to make your own fabulous flowers:
And we also cannot forget our Antique Pearl Center Flower Trim. This amazing trim is almost 2.5" wide and each flower is accented with pearls and a rhinestone. Each yard of the trim will give you ~16 flowers per yard. Cut each flower off the tulle backing and use! We will be selling these trims by the roll and half yard packages to the stores.
Still with us? Because we cannot forget our Trinket Pins - this time we are bringing you 3 different sets - Buttons, Dark Brown Vintage Pearl and Pearl Butterflies:
And we will wrap it all up with some cool Blossoms and Flowers from Maya Road. Check out first these Felt Pearl Poisies in Cream, Pink and Brown:
Next what about some Vintage Denim Roses (that do match the Frayed Edge Pleat Trim):
And what about some Vintage Sequins Blossoms - in Milk and Bubblegum or Cream and Smoke:
And some of our most favorite new flowers - our new Vintage Edge Mums. Each of these flowers are close to 3" in diameter. You can alter them with Maya Mists, inks and more.
And we cannot have all these pretty flowers and trims with some leaves to go with them. How about some Leaf Beads:
And we also have lovely Fabric Leaves that are the perfect accents:
And here are some projects from our design team to inspire:
We have a $25 MR CHA-W release prize pack ready to give away.

Here is a peek of what it looks like on some of our larger wooden spools:
Next we want to follow that up with some of our fun Linen Burlap Line. You can buy Treasure Bags, Roses and even Trim. The material is a fine linen material that is perfect for altering and more!
Next we have our new Wooden items. We love that you can leave the wood as is, alter them with paints, Maya Mists or Inks!
We love our new Vintage Sewing Spools (these guys are about 1.5" tall and 1.2" wide) and our Vintage Chunky Spools (these are about0.6" tall and 0.5" wide):
