MR DT: 12x12 Layout | BFF & a little home decor

Hello Roadies! I am back again on the Maya Road Design Team Blog [here] sharing a layout, a sweet floral deal and a little home decor which I had been tempted to work with!

For starters, I would like to share a layout on my best friend. I wanted to scrap this photo quite badly. We have been friends since schooling days and no matter how often we meet up, we always have something to talk about.

I chose a natural selection of colors in my layout, with one of my favourite tulle flowers as the main embellishment highlight.

The tulle flowers are soft and easy to match. I like to add some jute and the MR diecut leaves to layer with the flowers. Flowers are the main staples for me, they add a flowy and dreamy feeling to the layout, and can be used for a variety of themes.

To complete the dreamy look, I added some MR fabric trims and pearl trims to hide the edge of coordinating pattern papers. 

Layering paper flowers with resins are a favorite too! Try cording the stems around a piercer, and shape the stem as if it was the vines of the paper flower. I love adding this trick to my paper flowers, they give an added vintage look to it!

The kraft doilies gives a good background in this layout, and I later added a variety of Maya Road products for the layering! I have a feeling that you might see this cute envelope die cut and the resin diamond quite often in my layouts! These are absolute favourites, and they go hand in hand with the flowers in this layout! 

Hope you have liked the layout so far! Check out the fun items Mayaroad have on sale this month. Save 30% on flower products in the flower collection! Shop happy today! Be sure you use the FLOWERPOWER code at checkout!

Just because I got hooked with the flowers I was working with, here is another home decor project:

This is quite easy to accomplish, and the floral decor can be really used as a bag brooch as well. I first started by gathering the supplies:

Grab your glue, and start to build them up! I started off with the shimmering pointed petal flower as the main highlight, and layered the other items according to my preference behind the flower. Last to go on is the clip!

Next, I worked on doing some crochet with some crafting jute cording and the jute and twine cording.

Adding 2 different jute cordings give it strength and color shading. I always love a little hand crochet basket on my desk, holding my project embellishments or little items lying around.

I hope you like the layout and the home decor project today! Now do not forget to check out the flower deals at Mayaroad.com

MR DT: 12x12 Layout | Jute Fun

Hi roadies! Have you been crafting? I had been recently inspired by jute and love the way it looks when sewn onto my projects.

Today I would like to share a layout I had recently created with lots of jute fun.

I wanted to use jute in different manners on this layout and decided on some stitching and jute flowers.

First i took some jute and a 1" circle punch to make the flower centre. It is really making use of jute, rolling it around from the centre to the outside of the 1" punched out circle. Then, I added more jute to the back of the punched out circle, forming a flower! 

Decorating it was easy, just add some tokens to the flower centre! I totally love these acrylic tokens, they go onto the flower centre nicely and because it is transparent, it also showcases the nice quilling below!

Layering it up with some clock transparencies helps to give it a subtle focus!

Another fun element I like to place as layers are the ATC die cuts. They give the photo much more definition! Here I have used the new note ATC die!

I have made a few of these flowers. This one is of a smaller size, and embellished with a Maya Road round jeweled center. 

Adding some layers helps to enhance the work. I also used the Geometric Blossem Die here as a layer. The geometric dies are pretty! They are fun and do not draw a lot of attention away from the photo. Typically I use these shapes as fillers, filling in the areas which look empty and need that little touch.

Oh and I love how the Vintage Kraft boy/girl pins come beautifully fitting alongside the jute flower! 

Last but not least, my favorite part of the layout - stitching! I did some cross stitch on this layout and I love the effect! 

In order to add some attention to my stitching, I decided to add the arrow clip. To blend with the colors on this layout, I chose to take some gold spray and sprayed on the clip. I like to use clips in different ways. Here, I have simply glued the arrow clip to the layout and finished it with some letter stickers.

Hope you get inspired!
