Happy Delightful Day by Enza Gudor

Welcome back, everyone! Enza here with you today to share a new layout featuring some gorgeous Maya Road products. I absolutely love how every single element contributes to make any project more special and unique.

For today's page, I used a variety of Maya Road goodies: With Love Nature Die Bundle, Pretty Resin Bows in Snow White, Resin Flower Set in Cool Grey, and Linen Mini Pennant Banner Pieces.

My goal for this layout was to incorporate as many embellishments as I could, so I picked a cut file with lots of empty spaces to fill. The Bless Your Heart cut file set from The Cut Shoppe offered the option I needed and allowed me to achieve lots of dimension and texture as well. I decided to follow the design on the patterned paper for the placement of the heart. Once that was adhered down, I started embellishing. I cut the butterflies out of a mix of patterned papers from the Crate Paper Carousel collection and backed them with two layers of vellum for extra dimension.

I love the look of the Pretty Resin Bows. Such a lovely addition!

For the photo, I just created a cluster on the right side with elements from the collection, one of the Maya Road Linen Mini Pennant Banners and a Resin Flower. All the different textures have me all heart eyes! To fill in the gaps and create more interest, I added several puffy sticker sentiments and enamel hearts.

I had a lot of fun putting this layout together and am very happy with the result. I have had a blast creating with Maya Road products! Thank you for stopping by!

Enza was born and raised in Italy but moved to the U.S. almost thirteen years ago to be with the love of her life.  She is passionate about photography and all forms of memory keeping.  Scrapbooking was non-existent for her growing up and only started being her creative outlet in 2008, when her son was born..  Her style has definitely changed over the years, becoming more detailed and colorful, while still being clean and simple.

So Sweet Layout by Enza Gudor

Hello! This is Enza and I am so excited to be the guest designer for August. Thank you so much Maya Road for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
Today I am sharing a very soft and feminine layout, featuring the With Love Nature Die Bundle and the Vintage Pearl Roses. I absolutely love how delicate it came out and how everything just complements the photo of my daughter without being too distracting.

I started by using the With Love Nature Die Bundle set to cut several roses and leaves out of some patterned paper from different Maggie Holmes collections. All the die cuts were backed with some vellum to achieve a dreamy look. I incorporated several ephemera and fussy cut pieces to create movement and interest, and used foam dots to adhered everything down for added dimension.

Once my background was ready, I started working on the picture. I kept the layering very simple but I had to have some sparkle, so I used a couple of frames with glittery gold accents and a puffy sticker bow from the Crate Paper Carousel collection to embellish it.

Next, I added the title and a cute little banner from the same collection underneath it. The Maya Road Vintage Pearl Roses were the perfect finishing touch, coordinating seamlessly with the rest of the layout and contributing to that romantic look I was going for.

A cluster of ephemera pieces on the left hand side of the page balanced the right side and completed the layout.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I'll have another layout to share in a few days. Have a lovely day!

My Love Layout by Victoria Calvin

 

Hello! This is Victoria Calvin and I am excited to be the guest designer for July 2017! A big thank you to the wonderful folks at Maya Road for giving me the opportunity to share a couple of fun creative projects with all of you. Speaking of… let’s take a look at a 12x12 scrapbook layout I created using the following Maya Road goodies:

• Maya Road Resin Fancy Frames – Snow White
• Maya Road Tulle Mini Blooms – Buttercream
• Maya Road Tu Tu Tulle Flowers – Vintage Buttermilk
• Maya Road Vintage Findings Paper Leaves – Medium
• Maya Road Bulldog Mini Clip

To begin, I used a floral pattern paper from the Harvest Boutique paper pad by Craft Smith as the background for this layout.  The flower design provided the perfect base for the Maya Road tulle flowers and paper leaves.

 

Next, I layered my photo on another piece of floral pattern paper from the Craft Smith paper pack as well as die cut tabbed index card by Sizzix. The photo is elevated by fun foam for added height and dimension.

To the left side of the photo, I layered a grouping of the Maya Road Tulle Mini Blooms and Tu Tu Tulle Flowers along with two clusters of the Maya Road Paper Leaves. Tucked into this floral cluster is a Maya Road Resin Fancy Frame, a scalloped cork circle and a gold glitter butterfly from my stash. The title was created using Thickers Beautiful and Patchwork sticker fonts. To finish the layout, I added a Maya Road Mini Clip to the top left of the photo that is adorned with a tiny twine bow.

 

I absolutely love the overall look of this layout! The gorgeous Maya Road floral elements perfectly highlight the floral design of the patter paper and add a small touch of whimsy to the layout.

I will be back in a few days with another fun project featuring a Maya Road pennant chipboard album! Stay tuned!

Summer Card Duo by Nicole Nowosad

Good morning ! I am excited to be back again a guest this month! I decided to create a few fun cards using some great Maya Road embellishments for today.

 

I created this first card with some good old Maya Road mists -truth is, these are still my favorite mists, even though I have had them quite a while! I painted some of the mist to the card base and set to dry.

 

I diecut a sentiment on my Silhouette Cameo and then added some Resin Flowers in both shocking pink  and  sunshine yellow with an Acrylic Token too.

 

 

I added some Maya Road embellishments to the front of this card base that I created, they were the perfect addition to some punched items from my stash.

 

I added an Ornate Resin frame in white and then layered my sentiment overtop, and added in more of those fun Resin Flowers in both shocking pink  and  sunshine yellow to finish off the card!

 

Thanks so much for joining me today and Maya Road for asking me to guest this month!

Scroll Wood Pallet Jewelry Holder by Gena Glover

Maya Road Supplies:

Wood Mini Scroll Pallet

Mega Wood Etched Button

Pearl Mum Trim

Pearl Button Trim

Mini Pearl Trim

Embossed Metal Flower Embellishment

For my first pallet, I wanted to create a simple piece that could hang in my bathroom to hold some of my favorite longer necklaces.

I started by coloring the wood pallet with my Sepia Colorburst.

Next, I first centered and added the Mega Etched Wood button to the pallet with hot glue. Next I added the Embossed Metal Flower and on top of that a piece from the Pearl Button Trim.  I then added Pearl Button trim on each side and Mini Pearl Trim on the top and bottom.

 

Last, I added screws in the bottom for a beautiful, perfect necklace holder.

 

Starry Dreams Wood Pallet by Gena Glover

Maya Road Supplies:

DIY Mini Star Pallet

Cloud Die Set

Pearl Button Trim

Mini Pearl Trim

Felt Blossom Turqouise

 

The first time I saw the star pallet I immediately thought it would make an ADORABLE baby  décor piece.

I began by first adding some watered down yellow paint to the pallet.

Next I added Mni Pearl Trim around the star.  I found a sticker in my stash with “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and added with foam tape. I die cut the stars, moon and dream in gold paper and the clouds in white paper from the Cloud Die Set. I attached the word dream to the sticker. I added foam tape to the clouds and layered the moon and gold star ontop. The Felt Turquiose flower was tucked under the clouds. For the final touch I added the small gold star next to the flower and the little gold heart to the sticker.

Campfire Mini Album by Gena Glover

Maya Road Supplies:

 

Felt Blossom Turqouise

Felt Roses Chocolate Brown

Mixed Mini Wood Slices

Jewel Center Burlap Blossom Natural

Wood Wild & Free Tokens

Chipboard Landscape Binder

Mega Wood Etched Button

Pearl Mum Trim

Wood Vintage Mason Jar

 

 

I love the Maya Road chipboard albums and create many of my classes using them. I found the new Photoplay Campfire paper and knew I would be perfect for this project.  The Maya Road pieces accent it beautifully!

I began by painting the edges of the Landscape Album with brown paint and covering each of the pages with different patterned pages from the collection.  For the cover, I added foam tape to the back of my Natural Burlap Blossom so that it would be a little easier to tuck some of the pieces behind it and give it even more dimension. Once the burlap flower was set I tucked a Mega Wood Etched button underneath and layered a cut paper circle and a token from the Wood Wild Token set. I added Wood Slices and two pieces from Pearl Mum Trim. To bring it all together I added a strip of the Pearl Mum Trim along the bottom.

Here is a close up of the layering…

 

 

Here is a peek of the pages…

 

 

 

I wrapped some jute around the Wood Mason Jar ad added the Pearl Button piece in the center.

 

 

I love the Envelopes to add extra little places for journaling or extra pictures.

Thanks so much Gena! With summer on the horizon, this mini album is a wonderful place to store all those camping memories!

Altered ATC Box by Heather Leopard

I have a thing for keepsake boxes so when I saw the fun little wooden box in the kit I was sent, I immediately knew I wanted to make a spring themed box.  It also happens to go with my daughter's new room - a cafe style loft bed with adorable little flower pots in the windows.  

 

To create this I pulled out the wooden box, felt flowers and some fun Spring themed papers.  

 

I trimmed the sides with a white and black script and then I covered the slide out lid with flower themed paper. I was a bit worried it might not slide back in but it slides in and out with ease!

 

Once the lid was on, I trimmed down a 3x4 card, added just a tad bit of a green frame and adhered it to the box using foam adhesive.

 

The last step was to add a border around the front edge and flowers on the front and the top.  I positioned the flower on the top back just enough so that the lid could still slide out with ease.

 

I can't wait to give this to my daughter. She's such a sweet little thing and I just know she'll find lots of treasures to keep in it!

 

Thanks for having me today.  I hope you enjoyed this fun DIY project.  Connect with me on Instagram - I'd love to get to know you all better!

Maya Road Guest Designer: Daniela Dobson & Fresh Beginning Wood Pallet

Daniela uses a lot of different paints to alter her projects and we love how beautiful and unique it makes each one. Thanks so much Daniela for joining us again today! Take it away...

Fresh Beginning Wood Pallet by Daniela Dobson

Maya Road Supplies:

DIY Wood  Pallet – 8x8
22mm Bulldog Clips – Bronze
Ken Oliver Vintage Ornate Buttons
Jute & Twine Cording
Medium Vintage Paper Flowers – White
Ornate Resin Frame - Sunshine
Vintage Linen Burlap Treasure Bags
Vintage Ken Oliver Bird Cages
Resin Nesting Birds - Snow White
Vintage Crafting Tassels (Gold Cap) - Milk White

 

This is an 8x8 pallet and I thought it would be perfect for displaying inspirational quotes here in my craft room. I went to Pinterest and found this quote that I really liked. The quote is printed with black ink with my laser printer. I ran the quote through my laminator using Deco Foil.

I painted the DIY Wood  Pallet – 8x8 cream color and let it dry. Once it was dry, I used a sponge to add Deco Foil liquid adhesive. Once it’s dry you can apply foil and the foil with stick to the adhesive only. The same process was used for the Resin Nesting Birds - Snow White and
Ornate Resin Frame – Sunshine. I colored the flowers with watercolor to match the other elements and let them dry.

I designed the flowers and leaves in my Silhouette Studio and cut them out using Silhouette Cameo. I watercolored the cut pieces and adhered them to the pallet. I layered Ornate Resin Frame – Sunshine with the Medium Vintage Paper Flowers – White and Resin Nesting Birds - Snow White. Bellow that I added Vintage Linen Burlap Treasure Bags with Jute & Twine Cording and Vintage Ken Oliver Bird Cages

. I tucked in Vintage Crafting Tassels (Gold Cap) - Milk White and two Ken Oliver Vintage Ornate Buttons that fit perfectly between the slots.

 

Here is a closer view of the Deco Foil printed quote. The 22mm Bulldog Clip – Bronze is holding the quote in place and can easily be changed with another quote for a different occasion or season.

HELLO SILLY Layout by Jana Eubank

 

 

Yellow is my daughter's favorite color, so I knew the moment I saw these delicious felt flowers that I would use them on a page about her.

 

 

I clustered them around the page adding punched navy leaves as an accent.

My favorite part about creating this page was using the Geometric Feather Die to cut several feathers from navy and red cardstock to tuck around the flower clusters. I also added a few fussy-cut feathers from a coordinating patterned paper.

 

 

Finally, I needed something fun to accent my title ... the metal arrow charms were the perfect touch! I added two here, and one at the top of my page, as well. I love the way they look here!

 

Thanks for letting me share!

And thanks again Jana for sharing your talent and creative inspiration with us and our readers here at Maya Road!
