Let's Go with Maya Road

Hey Roadies, it's Katrina back on the blog again.  This time to share a layout with you.  I love to mix "feminine" with "masculine" and that's just what I tried on this layout.  The Maya Road wood embellishments, along with the Maya Road flower embellishments are a great combo!

After piecing the basic layout together, I started pulling Maya Road items out to figure out what I wanted to use.  The "smile" wooden token was one of the first, so I knew that was probably going to go on there somewhere!  

And I know a lot of people talk about design "rules", but I tend to go with what feels right and looks balanced.  That led to adding one of the wood slices down in the opposite corner from the camera token.  And as an after thought, I added a little punched butterfly on the wood slice and fell in love with how it looked!

Since the paper collection I was working with didn't have any pink, it was easy to add some with a felt flower!  The felt flowers come in so many colors and are so versatile, I want to grab them for every project.  I added some of the new resin mum pieces as accents.  The kraft tickets worked well as a border under my picture.  Toss in a few die cuts from the paper collection and you have a sweet cluster for your page!

It's so easy to create a project with Maya Road items.  So, grab some goodies, create a project and be sure to share with us on Facebook and Instagram!  Have a great weekend!

Summer Gift Tags

Hi Roadies! It's Melody here on the blog. I love to have gift tags ready to go when I need them. A special tag can dress up any package!! I created three summer themed tags to share today with some Maya Road embellishments and dies. 

  

For my first tag I chose a bright, summery patterned paper for the base of the tag. At the top I added a eyelet and ribbon. Next I used the Smile Frame ATC Die to create the card, adding yellow card stock behind the sentiment. In the corner I attached  on of my favorite clips, the Metal Vintage Trinkets - Sunny Day Clips. 

Next I layered a Mini Wood Embroidery Hoop, a Small Vintage Paper Flowers in Pink, and a Vintage Oh Snap Camera that I accented with rhinestones. Off to the side I tucked in a Framed Sayings Kraft Piece in White. I finished off with a row of rhinestones and a few scattered rhinestones from the Self-Adhesive Rhinestone Trim in Ballet Pink. 

On my second tag I used the Sunburst ATC Die, inlaying the sun rays with yellow card stock sponged with distress inks. I used a glue for metal to attach the Sailboat Clip and added a row of Self-Adhesive Rhinestone Trim in Sparkle Silver. In the center of the sun I added a Resin Mini Mum in Turquoise Sea. The sentiment is added with the Steel Die - Fanciful Hello Friend. I cut the sentiment twice, once from card stock and once from a lightweight chip board. At the top I adhered a Tulle Mini Blooms - Teal and a Wood Mini Clothes Pins in Silver to attached the tag to a gift bag or gift. 

Last up is a birthday themed tag because you can never have too many birthday tags! Here I attached a square envelope for the Kraft Love Note Envelopes and added a token from the Wood Birthday Tokens, a Felt Rose in Carnation Pink, a Bronze Gift Charm, and two Trinket Pins in Vintage Pearl.

At the top of the tag is a sweet Pretty Resin Bows in Porcelain Pink. The sentiment is cut with the Steel Die - Fanciful Wish and sponged with a couple of pink inks. The final touch is a piece of  Vintage Rick Rack Crochet Trim in Cloud White.

Pet Me-Using a Neutral Color Scheme

Hey Roadies!  Don't you love to capture memories?!  This layout today is a pretty special one.  Jetson (the fluffy dog) is usually scared of everyone, especially men. Our friends, Tony (in the picture) and Laura bred Sheldon, the other dog in the picture.  Tony has made it a mission for Jetson to be comfortable around him.  He finally succeeded and I had my camera ready!

 

I knew some Maya Road embellishments would take part in the layout as soon as I started on it.  AND I knew that I wanted to keep the color to neutrals on my embellishments.  So I pulled out my kraft, wood, and cream colored embellishments to get to work!  The little envelopes seem to be a go to for me.  They were the first thing I reached for and knew one of them was staying on the layout.  I folded the flap slightly and then placed a label sticker with some foam adhesive on it right on top. I also bent the flap for a little dimension.

And there is a whole lot of Maya going on in this picture!  I wanted a border and I came across the corrugated kraft tags when I was looking for embellishments and decided making them into a border would be a fun way to get them on my layout.  Add a little twine and some resin flowers to cover the hole in the tag and I was set!

The little wood token actually fell onto my layout and I decided I liked where it fell! I love happy accidents like that.  Thank goodness it wasn't paint or ink!  

The taupe felt rose fit right into my color scheme and I just added some stickers around it and tucked that ADORABLE mason jar clip in behind it. LOVE those and it was a perfect way to use it!

Honestly I was a little stuck until I decided on the neutral color scheme for my embellishments. If you have some bright colors or hard patterns, give the neutral twist a try!  I am glad I did!  Have a great day and weekend!

Hello Card by Yasmin Tölche

Hi Roadies! Yasmin here on the blog today and I have a card to share with you :) 

Maya Road has so many cute products to use on girly cards so I thought why not play with them on a more masculine card. So I made this with some of Maya Roads beautiful products like the kraft tags and evelopes. 

I love useing loads of embellishements and paper on my projects. I've used envelopes, Star buttons, Kraft Tags, Camera charm and Lightbulb transparency's all from Maya Road. I love working with layers and a little tip is to use disgarded chipboard pieces or 3D foam stickers to add dimension to the project. If you don't glue totally on the egde you can always stick and tuck things, embellishements underneath the papers and other embellishements to create interest. 

Isn't that camera charm gorgoeus? These are the Maya products used on my card: 

• T2608 - Eureka Light Bulb Transparencies 
• WD2705 - Lucky Star Wood Buttons 
• K2224 - Kraft Decorative Journal Tags
• K2212 - Kraft Envelopes 
• VF2468 - Vintage Captured Moments Camera Charms

Thank you so much for joing me today! Have a creative day!

Hi Roadies!  It's Katrina on the blog here today sharing a layout full of Maya Road touches.  The idea for the layout actually started with one little Maya Road embellishment....the Question Mark Clip!  Sometimes one thing can spark your creativity for an entire project.  And I love it when that happens.

As I was putting the layout together I was going thru my Maya Road stash and found the "happy" in the Framed Saying Pieces-White and the Mini Chipboard Heart Confetti. I wanted to tie them into the layout, because the kraft was perfect and the chipboard you can altered to fit your project!  I just used some red acrylic paint I had on hand to paint all my pieces. I did a couple of coats, to get the red color that I wanted.

And since chipboard is so versatile, I also foiled a piece from the Say What Speech Bubbles, leaving the "hi" part bare.  This was done with a glue pen made for the foil.  I applied the glue all over the speech bubble and then ran the chipboard with the foil transfer sheet on it thru a hot laminator to heat set it.  I was so happy with the shine on the chipboard and loved the contrast of the bare chipboard with it.

And the Question Mark clip that started it all. I left it pretty much as is, just accenting around it with some sequins. 

The little Kraft Note Envelopes are some of my favorite go to Maya Road products.  I want to use them on everything!  Here I used the Brown Polka Dot as an accent for some tags, die cuts and some of that heart confetti chipboard.  Do you see that fun bling strip?  That is some of the new Self Adhesive Rhinestone Trim in Coffee Brown. This is so easy to work with, no tweezers, no lining up, just peel backing and apply!

So look thru you stash, or shop for something new (hee here) and you may just create an entire project around one thing like I did! Thanks for stopping by the Maya Road blog today. Make sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram (@maya_road).

Hanging Happiness Frame

Hi Roadies! It's Julia here and I'm excited to be back home from CHA in Anaheim. CHA is the Craft and Hobby Association Show that is held each year to showcase the new and latest crafting product. It's exciting to be there and it's always a joy to see your work displayed there in person.

Today I thought I'd share one of my favorite projects from the show. It's all about fabulous Maya Road products and the brand new Maya Road die line!

Dies are a brand new product line for Maya Road and I'm so excited about them. You'll see a lot of the new ATC line of dies that make up the back panels of each of the embellished and clipped accents. There's also rolled roses and bows and  sentiments and many, many other great designs. The new dies will be available in stores near the end of February so keep your eyes open for them!

Each ATC die cut has been embellished with all kinds of pretty Maya Road products. There's sequins and chipboard and trims and resins. I always feel the more the merrier when embellishing so layer it on using a good quality adhesive. One of my favorite releases from the show was the little wood embroidery hoop embellishments. They make absolutely darling accents!

To create the frame, I removed the glass from a frame I had on hand and then painted it to a lovely eggshell color. I then took some pretty Maya Road twine and held it across the back of the frame and stapled it with a heavy duty stapler...the kind that you can find in hardware stores. Sweet little silver Maya Road clothespins hold each ATC on.

To finish it all off, here's another peek at some of the fabulous new Maya Road embellishments coming your way for 2016! The gorgeous faux suede tassels are already a huge hit and they come in lots of fabulous shades! And did you notice that sweet golden glitter mason jar?! Too cute for words!

Happy creating!

 

Fall Card

Hey there Roadies!  It's Katrina from Paper, Scissors and Glue here today to share a quick fall themed card with you. Fall is one of my favorite seasons and I love creating for it. And I find that fall cards are so fun and unique to create.  Add some Maya Road embellishments and you can make some fun and quick fall cards. 

By adding some fun Maya Road trims to some of the Kraft embellishments, you can take a plain card to stunning in just a few minutes.  This new scalloped trim in yellow was a fun accent to add a little more color to the card.  The trim is such a great item to have in your stash, since you can add it to paper projects or add it to your sewing projects!

And these corrugated kraft tags I cannot get enough of. They seem to be my go to add on embellishment currently! Add a little Maya Road twine at the top. I like my bows to have some "heft" to them, so I always double the twine and then tie my bow. 

So pull out your supplies and create a few cards for the fall season!  Some leaves paired with these supplies would be amazing also.  Hmmm...I am heading BACK to the craft room!!

My Passport - Tag and Envelope Album

Hi roadies! It's Belly here on the blog today.

Inspiration everywhere! I went to Pinterest for some inspirations, just typed in "journey" as I would like to do something about travel, it came out many photos of beautiful places and then I saw a photo of passport, ding!, this is what I like as the theme of my album and this would be great for summer vacation memory keeping too.

 

I kept the cover simple, just like our passport.

 

I used cardstocks, Maya Road Manila Shipping Tags and Kraft Envelopes for inside pages, its just cool to give the album different layers. You can adhere photos, tickets or cards on the tags and envelops, even write your journal on, while some of them can put inside the envelopes.

 

Maya Road Wood embellishments are great to add eye-catching points in the album, just love them.

 

Geotag seems super trendy related to travel these years, how can I stopped to use them in this album, simply heat emboss to give the chipboard piece a cool look.

Where have you been during this summer holiday? Be inspired always!
