Hi Roadies! It's Julia here kicking off Day 1 of the Maya Road and Simple Stories Product Swap! I couldn't be more excited as these companies are two of my favorites and I just love how well the product pairs up beautifully!
I'm using lots of fabulous paper crafting goodies from both companies and the new Simple Stories Summer Days line has me in a summer state of mind.
My first creation is a layout of my daughter and her boyfriend. They've been out and about enjoying this beautiful time of year in Ottawa and I loved their photos so much, I'll admit to swiping the pictures off them...with permission of course! Ottawa is know for it's gorgeous flowers and parliament buildings and culture and each time I visit, I'm always amazed.
I've used a mix of the Summer Days line paired up with lots of Maya Road flowers and other embellishments. I love the Wood Slices for adding in fun texture and accents to the design.
The layout is inspired by Page Maps sketch and I've added in stitching details to tie it all together. Maya Road has a fun line of new summer themed dies that go perfectly with these papers. I've used the new Tropical Flowers Die Set to die cut paper leaves to layer under the tulle flowers.
While I had all these fabulous embellishments and papers out, I just couldn't put them away until I created a few cards as well!
The You are My Sunshine card features a fun flamingo sticker from Simple Stories layered over an ornate resin piece from Maya Road. I love how all the fun colors pop against the white background.
And finally, a mix of this and that...stickers, die-cuts, wood, flowers, resin and twine. I love to mix everything up for a fun and unique look! There's really no right or wrong and it's all grouped together on the free printable library card that you can find here.
Simple Stories is a great place for gorgeous papers and inspiration. Be sure to check them out!
