Echo Park Paper

"Happy Little Moments" Designer Stamps on a Layout with Lisa!

Hello Echo Park friends! Lisa here with you today to share a fun layout created with the new Fine and Dandy collection and “Happy Little Moments” Designer Stamps.

I used the stamps to embellish word bubble Silhouette cut files, running them down the page to create a border. I also stamped some of the images individually (butterfly and mushroom) before cutting them out and tucking them into the border.

The butterfly stamp was also perfect for adding “a little something” to what was a plain white bitty bag that houses the journaling tag.

Here's a look at one of the stamped word bubbles toward the top of the page. There's a stamped and hand cut butterfly to the left of it.

In this image, you can see the adorable mushroom stamp, which was first stamped onto white cardstock and then hand cut.

This last image gives you a look at another of the stamped word bubbles.

One thing I like about using word bubbles (or other individual die cuts) for stamping is it's easy to fix if an image doesn't stamp cleanly. If you make a mistake, you can cut another element and try again. No pressure. No stress. No stamping directly on your project. That's my kind of stamping!

Be sure to check out all of the Designer Stamp options Echo Park has to offer. You'll also find Designer Die and Stamp Combos.

A "Fine and Dandy" Card Set with Ashley!

Hi everyone!  It’s Ashley and I am stopping in today to share a card set with you using the new Fine and Dandy collection.  

One of my favorite papers included in the Echo Park packs is always the Journaling Cards.  You can use these to create fun sentiments on your cards and layouts.  The cards I am sharing with you today, show two different ways you can use the Fine and Dandy 3x4 Journaling Cards.

On my first card, I cut out three of the 3x4 Journaling Cards.  I turned my main Journaling Card horizontal and then I cut the other two Journaling Cards and layered them behind my main card.  Then I used some of the stickers from the Element Sticker Sheet and Alpha Sticker Sheet to complete my sentiment.

For my second card, I used one of the 3x4 Journaling Cards as a pocket.  I cut the card from the paper and added a thin line of adhesive on the sides and bottom.  After attaching the pocket to my card, I stitched around the sides and bottom, leaving the top open.  This is great for adding a handwritten note or slipping in a Gift Card for someone special! 

These are just a couple of ways that you can use the 3x4 Journaling Cards on your paper crafting projects! 

 

Supplies:

Fine & Dandy Journaling Cards Patterned Paper

Fine & Dandy 6x6 Paper Pad

Fine & Dandy Alpha Stickers Sheet

Fine & Dandy Element Stickers Sheet

Twine

Wood Veneers

Enamel Dots

Using Echo Park Silhouette Shapes to Make Baby Gifts

Hello! Rachael here, to show you how to create a great baby shower gift using Echo Park Silhouette shapes. I wanted to make some onesies for a friend who is having a boy, so I chose two shades of blue flocked transfer material. I think this same design would be just as cute using girl colors, or yellow and green for a gender neutral gift. The trick is to use two different colors for a more complex and interesting design.

After cutting all of the pieces, I ironed on the first layer. Once the first layer was finished, I added the second layer directly on top of the first layer of transfer material.

For the final touch, I used the smooth black glitter heat transfer for the eyes. I like how this makes the eyes sparkle!

To create the words, I used the fonts Lobster and LW Friendly. However, you can download the words for free by clicking HERE for "'Lil Squirt" and HERE for "Wild Thing"! Remember that all images need to be reversed before cutting out of heat transfer material. I’ve already reversed the words for you, so all you need to do is cut!

Remember, you're not limited to baby themes with this technique - consider the possibilities with ALL of our Silhouette Shapes HERE!

Enjoy!

Supplies:

Echo Park Elephant Shape

Echo Park Whale Shape

Heat Transfer Material (Flocked or Smooth)

Onesies
