A Quick and easy mini great for a class idea with Maya Road Embellishment's Daisy Metal clips teamed with the Love token say it all.

Happy Days are here again :)
Thanks for joining me today. From me to you have a great day
Hey Roadies! It is Melody here on the blog today with a Halloween Banner. Fall is my favorite season and I look forward to hanging this banner on my mantle next month!
For the base of my banner I used 5 tags. You could use ready made tags or die cut tags to the shape and size you want to use. The tags are hung on Twine Cording and attached with Wood Mini Clothes Pins in Gold.
Here is a closer look at each tag. I used the Rolled Flower Die and orange felt to created the flower and then added Small Paper Leaves and a Small Vintage Paper Flowers in White. I also added a Corrugated Kraft Mail Tag and a star die cut with the Fanciful Wish Steel Die from gold glittered card stock.
The letters that spell out "boo" are from the Lisa Lowercase Alphabet. These are chipboard letters. You can cover them, color them, or paint the letters. Here I colored the letters with a black marker and embossed them with a black and gold embossing powder. The orange card stock is cut with the Scalloped Frame ATC Die. I love Maya Road's Tassels! So cute. This Vintage Crafting Tassel Fog is in Fog Grey. At the bottom I attached a Vintage Key.
I embellished this tag with an Resin Nesting Birds Snow White sitting on a wooden twig.
To add a little shine I added a Sparkle Sequin Bow Embellishment in Glam Gold and at bottom a cute, little Alterable Wood Bingo Motif that I accented with a black marker.
And here is the last tag! At the top I attached a Ornate Resin Frame in Grey and in the center of the frame a Wise Owl Resin Charm in Snow White. Like the first tag, I finished off with another Rolled Flower in black felt, paper leaves and small paper flower.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you feel inspired to start creating for the upcoming holiday season.
Supplies:
Wood Mini Clothes Pins in Gold
Small Vintage Paper Flowers in White

Hey Roadies! It's Katrina from Paper, Scissors and Glue with a quick and fun idea for his and her tags. Take basically the same design and mix it up for a male or female!
My general design was a tag on a tag. Maya Road has such great tags to work with and use to embellish, you cannot go wrong! I started with a basic manila tag that I covered with some pattern paper. Then I started building on that. Let's take a look at the female tag.
I colored a wooden tag with a blue gelato color and water then let dry. Attach your yellow scallop trim first and the using foam adhesive place your tag on top of it. Find a flower that you like and add it to the bottom of the tag. I added the resin owl, well because he is cute! If the tag is for a birthday gift, a cute idea is to add the age of the birthday person! We all know that girls are forever 29!
Now, the male tag was a little harder to come up with something, but we know blue works! So I started with blue pattern paper and then built on that. Let's take a look.
I decided that sticking to a blue/black/kraft color scheme would be the way to go. I cut the stars from the Star & Arrow Pins and adhered them to a blackboard post tag. I didn't want to pile a lot on the male tag, so I kept it simple, but still fun.
And on both tags, I used a glitter pen and doodled or used faux stitching just to dress them up a bit. So get out there and create some tags for your next gift the you are giving. It will make it a little more personal and you will have fun creating tags! Happy Friday!

Hi Roadies! Stacy here on the blog with a Christmas project to light up the room for the festive season! Pairing a few of my favourite Maya Road products and viola, a brightly lit luminaire for the hallway!
Here's a look at the luminaire when the lights are off; it is a pretty ornament for the hallways even without the lights!
This time, I have used Maya Road Doorways Chipboard as the main highlight for the light. Using a light gold spray, I easily coloured these doorway chipboards, "Sweet" (from the love words chipboard set) and the star (from the Geotag chipboard set) at the top of the luminaire. Gold is simply my favourite color of all seasons!
I have also slid the lace trims and pom pom trims below the roof.
Here I added twine to the spool to add a spin of color. Adding the star pin and topping it up with the "sweet" chipboard completes the look.
Last but not least, to top it all, I added a banner and my favourite deer resin charm! The geotag chipboard was painted in brown and backed with the scallop wood stitched charm. Now I am ready for Christmas!
With just less than 10 days away to Christmas, here's wishing all of you a bright and joyous season! Merry Christmas!

Hi Roadies! Katrina from Paper, Scissors and Glue to share a little Halloween door hanger that is quick to make with some Maya Road goodies.
I picked up the kettle at a local craft store. It was already black, so it was quick to get started on. I replaced the sheer ribbon they had with some the Paper Twine cording in the Cloud color. The white was too stark, so I just took some black watercolor paint and changed it to black. I hit it with a heat gun to dry it quickly, so that I could move on to decorating.
Starting at the top, I created the "boiling potion" by adding various strips of ribbon. First, attach the Satin Scallop Edge Trim-Cream at the top of the kettle at the back. Attach Crochet Twill Trim-Green on the front of the kettle, adhering slightly lower than the Scallop Edge trim. Attach Tutu Tulle-Sunrise Orange to the front, overlapping the Crochet Twill trim. Make spider out of Mixed Blossom Mini chipboard. Cover with glue, add gold glitter and then eyes. Attach at top of pot.
I used a piece from the Canvas Pendant Banner Album, but you could use any canvas pieces that you have laying around, to cut a ghost shape out of. I painted white, outlined with a black marker and attached some enamel dots for eyes. Adhere to the back of your pot, letting him peek out over the potion.
Cluster some embellishments, tags and goodies in the corner. Paint wood veneer bird with black paint. Use a Mini Triangle Canvas Banner piece to create a witch hat. Color banner piece black and let dry. Cut an oval out of black paper slightly larger than the base of triangle. Cut a slot in the middle of the oval and slip banner piece in slot. Run Twine Cording in Blackberry around hat and adhere in the back. Make a bow and attach to front. Add a Bingo Motif button or two if you like! I also added some of the Satin Scalloped Edge Trim in Midnight as a cute little ruffle border. This is where you PLAY and have fun!
Create your title by altering some chipboard letters. I had a hard time deciding between the Lisa Chipboard alphabet sets I had. I decided on the uppercase one, but I was tempted to use the lower case! After covering with pattern paper, I sanded the edges down. I like the way the white made the letters stand out, so I did not ink my edges. I actually sanded a little more than I normally do, to make the white more prominent! Mount your letters on a Kraft Decorative Journaling Tag. Add a Wise Owl Resin Charm in White, because well...it's cute, it's for Halloween and he's really cute!
And there you have a cute door hanger for your house, teacher's room or office. Yes, this is going to my office to hang! Get to crafting, you know you love fall crafts!

Hi Roadies! It's Julia here with another project to share with you. Today I have a layout that I just created about my daughter. I'm not sure if you're like me but odds are that you are. Life is busy and I just carry my SLR camera around as much as I used to. That means I'm always pulling out my smart phone and shooting quick photos and posting them to Instagram. I have to admit though that while the quality gets better with every upgrade, my camera on my phone still has quite a ways to go to catch up to my good camera.
I still like to scrapbook my Instagram photos and I've found that keeping the image size small when printed out means that I can still get a pretty good shot. And it's oh so easy to add in those fun Instagram filters.
Today's page layout gives you an idea of how to scrapbook lesser quality photos and it also works well when you don't have a lot of them.
Using a grid format is a great way to add a ton of elements to your design but still keep things organized. I've stitched squares of patterned paper to a great textured burlap page and then started the embellishing fun. The title on this project is the Lisa Lowercase Chipboard set painted with a raspberry paint. To get the textured and distressed look I sanded the chipboard a little after the paint had dried.
Each square is filled with different fun embellishments with the center square having a clipped on photo of my daughter. I chose lots of fun bright colors and unique accents to match her vibrant personality.
Grouping the embellishments together on each square keeps the layout from getting too chaotic.
Take the time to print out some of your Instagram photos and scrapbook the beautiful moments of your life.

Hi Roadies! Stacy here today on the MR blog with a constructed clock piece for the home.
Hello Roadies!! It's Melody on the blog today. I have some embellished gift tag ideas to share with you. I love the way a pretty gift tag can make even the plainest packing special!
I have three different themed tag ideas using my pretty Maya Road embellishments.
My first tag I made with a handmade gift in mind. I used a Maya Road Kraft Notes & Envelope for the base of the tag. I added a sweet "Handmade With Love" Wood Button and embellished the center with a Alterable Wood Bingo Heart Motif. I added the color to the wood with a Copic Marker.
The Vintage Button Stick Pins, Vintage Wood Mini Ruler, and the Wood Mini Spool are perfect for the handmade theme. The tag is finished off with a Felt Rose in Maroon Red, a small Vintage Doily Transparency in black, and a Like Heart Clip.
Next up is a Thank You Tag. The sentiment is from the sheet of Black Rubons and attached to a Framed Sayings Transparency. I love the felt roses and Polka Dot Buttons! I also added a Vintage Oh Snap Camera, a Teardrop Pearl Center, Vintage Wood Stitch Scallop and Circle Charm, and some Mini Pom Pom Trim in Hibiscus Pink.
My final tag, with the sweet Tu-Tu Tulle Flower, would be perfect for a birthday or a new baby girl. I added one of favorite Metal Vintage Trinkets - Sunny Day Clips at the top, attached with a Wood Mini Clothes Pin in Gold. I altered the color of the metal clip and the word "sweet" from the Love Words Mini Chipboard Set, by dabbing on embossing ink and embossing with Gold embossing powder.
The final touches are Alterable Crochet Scallop Lace Trim, a Vintage Doily Transparency in white, and a couple pretty Vintage Pearl Pins in Hot Pink.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

One of my favorite things to do with paper is to layer it. By layering lots of textures, colors and prints together it always creates a unique and interesting design. It shouldn't be much of a surprise then that I also love layering embellishments. If one is good, then two or three must be great!
I have a few cards to share with you today that layer embellishments. Maya Road makes that super easy with their vast array of stunning embellishments. Just when I think they can't get any better, they come out with something new. These cards feature some of the latest Maya Road releases all mixed up with some of the classics. It just goes to show you how well it all mixes and matches and gives you that wonderful, unique Maya Road look.
As with layering paper, layering embellishments is an easy technique. Actually I'm not even sure you can call it a technique. I like to combine different colors and textures together to add a lot of visual interest to a design.
By using a larger embellishment on the bottom and then working up, it clusters the embellishments together. There's nothing worse than "embellishment sneeze" which has random dots of embellishments all over the place. Arrange your product together to get a visual feel of the design before adhering it all together.
Speaking of adhesives, the best one I use for adhering a lot of dimensional embellishments is the simple hot glue gun. It easily bonds metal, wood, fabric, trim etc. together and will hold up for a long long time. The newer low temp hot glue guns are much easier on the fingers and work just as well. Make sure you are sure of placement before you apply it as this glue is not going anywhere once it's there.
When putting together embellishments, it may seem like a random mix of color and items but often I draw inspiration and a color scheme from the patterned paper on the project. In this card I've pulled the colors - pink, red, green and cream from the paper layers. It was also the inspiration for the style as the paper made me think of a vintage country style.
So there you have it...lots of lovely layers and embellishments. Have fun making your own custom accents by combining lots of wonderful product into a fabulous focal point.

Hi Roadies! It's Stacy today for the very first time and I am super excited! Today I will be sharing a mini album I have made using the inserts of the Chipboard 5x7 Binder and binding this album altogether using Button Hole Stitching.
Actually, I had used up the Chipboard 5x7 Binder sometime ago, but did not use up all the inserts for the project. Using 2 of the inserts, it was an easy job to build up this album structure. I then covered the album with some left over cloth.
Since I also prefer chunky albums where I can add more layers to each page, I decided to use Button Hole Stitching with Maya Road twine as well. It's so sturdy and apt for the stitching to hold the album in place!
This is one album which is ready - just add photos and it would be good to go!
Let's take a look into the album:
I love how versatile the envelopes are - they serve as a nice background and holds all the odds and ends in place. In this envelope, I placed a kraft ticket and a photo tag. There is even more room for more tags or journaling!
Here I have used the hexagon chipboards as different layers to showcase titles and photo backdrops. The hexagon chipboard set is both useful in decoration and framing photos. Add a metal clip alongside to enhance the page with detail.
The chipboard tags and speech bubbles are my favorite embellishments! Here I painted them in teal color to give a pop of contrast color with the rest of the embellishments.
On the last page of the album, I have also added tickets behind the photo mask, for some hidden journaling or room for adding more pictures.
