Product Focus on Maya Road Keychains - I Love You...by Caroline

Happy Valentines Day!!

The rest of the DT will be showing you projects this week using the Maya Road Sheer Keychains, but my focus today is on the Maya Road Chipboard keychains. Not because I am awkward but mainly because I forgot it was the sheer we were supposed to be working on, lol.

I wanted to make a Valentine card for someone special but wanted it to be a bit different so I have used a Tando Creative Chipboard Mini Paper Tray with Cover.

Here is a sneaky peek of the finished project, and if you want to see more then take a look at full details and pics HERE...

Thank You Heart...by Vicky

As you can see I'm still making 'Thank you' cards.  I found this cool technique whilst browsing on one of my favourite blogs.  Debossing with chipboard shapes.

You need to experiment with different chipboard shapes and cardstock.  I found that using larger shapes on textured cardstock gave a better result.

The sandwich I used in the Cuttlebug was, from the bottom,  A Plate, C Plate, B Plate cardstock then chipboard shape. 

Supplies List

Echo Park 6 x 6 Pad - Victoria Gardens

White Textured Cardstock

Chipboard

Crepe Paper frill

Seam Binding

 

Simple but effective.  Hope you like it.

Back to School keyring By Sarah

This week I have brought you a quick and easy project using a Maya Road Keychain.

A few weeks ago my youngest son returned to primary school for the last time. He now thinks he is all big and grown up at 10 and has requested a set of house keys for emergencies. I don't know why as i meet his school bus everyday, lol, but i have humoured him anyway. But i knew he would loose them instantly so i made him a keyring.

 

Ingredients

Maya Road: Back to school key chain

Prima Moulin Rouge Paper

Embossing folders

Distress inks: Brushed Corduroy, Broken china, faded jeans

Clear embossing pad

Clear embossing powder

Instructions

I covered each shape with prima moulin rouge patterned paper. I sanded down all the edges and inked with distress inks.

I then put each shape through the big shot with an embossing folder. I then reinked to bring out the embossed pattern.

 
 

I gave each shape a couple of layers of clear embossing powder to make it tougher.

 

Attach to your keys and you are done.

Hurrah For The Circus...By Carol Fox

This week I have decorated a tag that I cut using the Tim Holtz large tag and bookplate die. I put the small easel stand die cut on the back of it so it could be stood up to use as a card.

I cut the tag from cream card and inked it using Fired Brick and Spiced Marigold distress inks. I stamped the main background image in the fired brick too. I added stamped words and images as shown. I inked the piece of Tando Chipboard flags in the fired brick and then over stamped them in a variety of bakcground stamps in the same ink to give a circus flag affect.

I finished it off with a Tim Holtz swivel clasp and a cute little elephant charm.

Cupcake birthdays by Emy

Ingredients

• Blank cards
• Crate Paper Snow Day patterned papers
• Maya Road Cupcake coaster mini book
• Maya Road Party keychain set
• Chipboard frames
• Maya Mist
• Glitter
• Beads
• Glossy Accents
• Ink pads

 

I've been making birthday cards this week using Maya Road chipboard cupcakes. I've added texture by creating a cake case, folding the patterned paper, and added bead "sprinkles" to the top of both cakes. Little touches of colour appear by inking the edges of the paper covered chipboard and using Maya Mist to colour the chipboard frames. I used glitter and glossy accents for a bit of birthday sparkle too.

 

Happy Saturday

The funky chicken...by alix

Morning bubblies, welcome to another week of crafty goodness.

This week i've created an ideal Easter gift for you, which has gone down a storm with my family...and i've even done it in plenty of time for you to make a couple for your own family should you wish to :)

 

Ingredients:

Maya Road chipboard ~ songbird coaster

Maya Road craft doilies

Prima flower centres ~ dynasty in topaz

Viva Croco paint in gold

1 crystal gem

1m garden wire

 

 Method:

Take the songbird coaster book and poke out the wing shape from the front cover, stencil through onto all but the last coaster and cut the shape out with a craft knife.  Sand with an emery board to smooth the edges a bit.  Glue all the coasters together, with the solid one at the back and coat the whole thing liberally with Viva Croco paint, leaving overnight to dry.

 

To create the funky tailfeathers, simply take 2 of the craft doilies and concertina fold them as shown above.  Snip from between one of the petals to the middle and fan into the required shape.  Use a thick tacky glue to attach this to the bird and add a Prima flower centre to the middle.  I've done the same on the back of the bird which is why you need two doilies and two flower centres!

Lastly, add a gemstone for the birds' eye and twist a couple of legs from some sturdy wire.  Use a pokey tool to make small holes for the legs and glue into place turning the feet out slightly to help your bird stand up :)

I hope you like him...and that you'll have a go at recreating him...i'd love to see a whole family of them on a shelf in a country kitchen...or on the Easter table...

bye for now...alix
