Hi Roadies!  Looking for a sweet way to celebrate your little ones birthday?  I loved the Chipboard Cupcakes and I wanted to use them in a fun way to celebrate Ava's birthday.  I worked some magic and turned them into a banner.

I used a couple different techniques on each chipboard piece.  On this cupcake I sprayed Maya Mist to create an icing look and then used liquid pearls to create the sprinkles.  I layered the chipboard heart with micro breads again to look like sprinkles.

Mica glitter and paint make this cake look like coconut?  It's delicious!

 
on the party hat I used embossing powder to highlight "Party" and give it some punch.  I also layered Maya Mist to give the pink color some teal tint as well. 

More Maya Mist and Micro beads. 

Maya Road Products Used:

Cupcake Chipboard Set

Maya Mist Cotton Candy

Maya Mist Emerald

Have a great week!

Hi Roadies,

This is a project that I did a while ago for the CHA Summer show.  With Christmas just over a month away, I thought this would be a good time to share how it was done.  But remember, even if you don't have time to get one of these done for this season, the angel can easily be adapted to fit any time of year.

I'm showing the bare construction  of the angel first,  as I think it's a little easier to see all the parts used in the piece.

In the first picture below you can see how the Christmas Tree Layer Book was turned on it's side and then cut.

The second photo shows,  I moved the two pages on the left down slightly then added wings, a border to the dress and half circles for the shoes.  For the shoe on the right I used three layers of chipboard.

The last photo shows the head (3 layers of chipboard) and arms, all from the Supernova Chipboard Set.  Also another layer of smaller wings.

After covering all these chipboard pieces with your choice of patterned papers, piece them together and adhere them to some raw chipboard. Cut the excess chipboard away.

 
You will notice in the photo above, the head, shoes and wings were pieced together in order that they would lay flat on the chipboard backing.  Here's an example of how that was done on the shoes.

Position your pieces how you want them to fit together. Trace the area that needs to be removed, then cut out that section out with a knife. 

Next, cover the last page of the album with patterned paper and add some Crochet Trim to the edge. Use paper strips to make layers for the angels dress. (To get the paper to pleat and  fold more easily,  apply Mod Podge to the back of each strip first.)  Adhere the pieces into place on the angel.

The sleeves were also made in a similar fashion. Applying the glue to the back of the paper and then shaping them to fit the arms. Glue the arms and sleeves together then adhere them to the angel.

Continue to embellish to dress of the angel as you wish. Use half a circle to create a collar for the dress. Add a punched border strip around the curved edge and a twine bow to the center.  The face (which is part of a street sign from the Road Rage Sign Set ) was then layered on top of the collar and embellished with a chipbord heart for the mouth and pearls (or gems) for the eyes.

Above, you can see how the halo was created out of a chipboard frame (from the Foundation Chipboard Set). The frame was wrapped in twine first, then a piece of wire was added.  Small leaves were stamped onto patterned paper, cut out and then attached around the halo. Use a piercing tool  to poke a hole in the top of the angels head.  Add adhesive to the end of the wire then insert it into the hole.

Next create a banner using  Mixed Mini Pennant Banner pieces, chipboard letters and ribbon and wire.  Use the piercing tool to make small holes in the angel's hands. Then thread the wire through the holes and knot in the back.

Hardware was attached in the back  of the angel then strands of twine were added for hanging.

Here are a few pictures of the finished angel.

 See you soon,

Jennifer

Hi, Dina here! Are you in love with the new laundry day canvas from the November release? I made this little wall-hanging with them.  The journaling across the pieces says, "I am so very blessed to be their mother."

Can you also spot the red Maya Road bingo letters? Too fun!

Supplies:

Maya Road Chipboard Letters (assorted)
Maya Road - Maya Mist
Maya Road ribbon
notebook
pen
pattern paper

1.  Spray your chipboard letters with Maya Mist and let dry;  I used Avocado Metallic Mist.  I decided to trace around each letter with a Pilot Hi-Tec 05 pen for added effect.

2.  Trace your notebook cover on a piece of pattern paper and cut out.  Cut a few inches of ribbon and machine stitch in place for your pen holder.

3.  Embellish front as desired and attach to your notebook cover.
