Beautiful You

Hi Roadies! It's Julia here today with a peek at the latest Maya Road Kit. It's called Beautiful You and is very aptly named as it's such a beautiful kit! I was excited to create some projects using this new kit and I have a few of them to share with you now.

Beautiful You is a card kit and enough product in it to create 6 cards...and more! You'll have tons of goodies left over to have more creative fun with. My first card design uses some of the great embellishments and papers included in the kit. I always love adding stitching to my projects so I pulled out my sewing machine and added in some stitching details.

It's easy to created rolled roses with cardstock or patterned paper and a circle punch. Just punch out a large circle (mine was 2.5") and then starting at the outer edge, cut a spiral shape until you reach the center. Roll up your spiral tightly starting the outer edge. This will become the middle or your flower. Slightly release spiral once it is all tightly wound and then adhere.

My second card uses many of the same elements but in a more vintage style. I love creating little banners with the banner chipboard set that is included in the kit.

When creating with items in the kit, don't be afraid to mix things up a little. The glassine bag makes a great layer under the banner. I thought it was a little long for this design so I trimmed off the bottom to use on another project.

Speaking of glassine bags, they also make REALLY sweet treat bags. I've filled mine with red cinnamon hearts for Valentine's and trimmed them out with various bits and pieces from the kit.

Beautiful You has just been released as a limited edition kit from Maya Road. It's just full of gorgeous goodies and exclusives that you won't want to miss. If you do want it, be sure to act quickly as this kit is more than 90% sold out! Find all the details including more project designs here. Happy creating!
