CHA Winter 2010 - Sneak Peek 20 - Maya Road

And finally, the last of our CHA 2010 sneak peeks...and its to the home of the best chipboard around!

But wait to you see Maya Road's new releases from CHA 2010...its more than just chipbaord!!

But lets start with the basic chipboard....the Coaster Albums. 

Then... Maya Road's new Birdcage Book Chipboard Album, which is a clever 6 x 7 inch album...

...with not only the die-cut cage front....

...but also die-cut birdies to use in your cage!  Cool!

There is also a new Taylors Dummy / Dress Form album... which is too cute!

Next up... More Maya Mists!  Maya Mists are gorgeous water-based misting sprays, which are formulated to work really well with chipboard.

Just look how good these chipboard numbers look

with just two light sprays of Maya Mist!

Next we have the new range of Maya Road Mini-Chip sets, Chipboard Sheets and the latest Kraft Collection

I was going to say... and finally... but its not quite!  Here's a sneak at Maya Road's new stamps!

... and finally!  A new product from MR called Maya Resist.  Just like a masking fluid, it can be used with Maya Mists and all other mediums (so paints, inks and other glimmer sprays).  Here's a fabulous series of images (from Maya Road themselves) of the Maya Resist in action.

First draw your pattern using the Maya Resist, to

create a mask and leave to dry (just a few minutes!)

Overspray with Maya Mist colours (or other medium)

Remove the Resist mask by rubbing and pulling

Tada!

I'm going to finish this peek with a few images of samples, created by the amazingly talented Maya Road Design Team, so you can see just how great these products look when you play with them!

All samples, images and resist steps courtesy of Maya Road

We hope that you have enjoyed this weekend of CHA releases... if you can't be at CHA... we'll bring CHA to you!

CHA Winter 2010 - Sneak Peek 17 - Crate Paper

I must be getting old because I remember when Crate Paper launched... was it three years ago now? Maybe longer! I remember those first five collections because I coveted them all! I think I still have a complete Seaweed collection... it was too nice to use!

In the last year of so, Crate Paper's collections have really notched up a gear... and they are really outstanding products!  For CHA 2010, Crate are releasing three new collections...
