Maya Road and Fiskars Swap, day 1

Hello there, welcome back to the Maya Road and Fiskars Swap!

This is Lia and Ania calling the shots today, ready to share brilliant inspiration (we hope!) with you using Fiskars and Maya Road products!

First out is a little box with two of the three shapes from the brilliant Fiskars 3-in-1 corner punch, Starlet. The punch creates pretty corners perfect for large squares, and is supereasy to use. This particular shape can be used to add to a romantic, farmerish feel to any of your projects. A single Butterfly Chipboard is used as the focal point on the box, with the Clementine Orange Twine Cording as a subtle accent behind. (Oh, and Ania wants to apologize in advance here for the weird way the actually very, very cute glitter acts on her photos. She promises it's way dang cuter in real life than she manages to capture on film..eh..the camera sensor)

Nevertheless, here's another shape from the same punch, which is very, very easy to sort of turn and then the punch is ready w/another shape for you - Ania thinks it makes a cute name tag. And psst, notice the new, cute burlap posies, from the recent mid-show release.. Don't you love how it's both cute and down to earth-ish?

Now, we're not done yet - we're saving the best for the last because here comes Lia with her incredible cute little wreath!

Lia admits to loving the combination of turquoise, pink and yellow on her projects - and that was the starting point of this wreath. After she wrapped the styrofoam wreath with three layers of bright turquoise yarn, she adhered two rounds of Tu-Tu Tulle - Ballerina Pink around the wreath.

She then glittered the Lisa Lowercase Alphabet chipboards, and added to a piece of patterned transparency on her wreath. She continued to embellish the wreath with a piece of painted Scroll Corners chipboard, a piece of Kraft Our Town - Black, a Vintage Kraft Boy/Girl Pin, and a Wood Bird Cage.

And let's not forget the Fiskars love. Lia professes to loving her Fiskars punches, and she even used three different punches on this wreath! The Fiskars Double Bubble Border Punch was used as the base for the Alphabet chipboards, X-Large Cloud Squeeze Punch for the white and blue clouds on the top of the wreath, and Oopsie Daisy Squeeze Punch for mini flowers clusters around the wreath. The mini flowers were also topped with Green Resin Blossoms.

We'll wrap this wreath up by pointing out the perfect finishing touch - the scatterings of Vintage Pale Pink Pearl Ball pins which Lia simply pushed into random spots around the styrofoam. The pale pink balls truly lights up this wreath and ties nicely colorwise with the tu-tu-tulle!

Talk about inspiration overload - and this is just the first day of the swap!

Love,

Lia and Ania
