Echo Park Paper

Make a Card for a "Lucky Dog" in your life!

Hi crafty friends! It’s Aly Dosdall here again, and I’m really excited to share a card set that I made with the cute new Bark collection. While this collection is perfect for the dog lovers in your life, some of the element stickers are ideal for creating all occasion cards as well.

The first card I created uses the “You Are The Best” sticker, and features some of the generic papers in the collection. This is an ideal masculine card for any occasion, since there aren’t any pet themed images or text included.

The second card I made includes the “You Are A Lucky Dog” sentiment, which I fell in love with! That’s a phrase we like to use in our family despite the fact that we’re a no-pet household due to allergies. To reinforce the cute sentiment I used some of the themed papers. I love how it turned out!

When creating a card set, I love to find a simple well-designed layout and repeat that throughout the set, swapping out different papers and embellishments. It saves me time and creates a sense of unity to the set.

Thanks for letting me join you today to share these cards. Whether you’re a dog owner, you know one or neither of the above, this cute collection offers tons of playful and creative possibilities.

Be sure to pin these cards for future inspiration - no matter what the occasion!!

A Creative Way to use The "Meow" Collection on a Layout

Hello! Tegan here today and I am happy to be sharing my latest layout using the fun and colorful Meow collection! I wanted to show that this collection isn't only for cats! Right now I only have a dog, but cats are adorable too. I love the Meow collection so I am happy I was able to make this collection work with a photo of my dog taking a catnap! The die sets that coordinate with the Meow collection are must-haves for cat projects! I started my layout by cutting out hearts using the Cat's Meow Die Set to make a bold page design element. Here's how you can recreate this fun look!

 

1. Die cut 5 hearts each from the yellow chevron patterned paper, the black paw print patterned paper, and the teal fish bone patterned paper.

2. Trim three strips of red solid paper that are about 7" x 1/4". Adhere the hearts onto the strips as shown using a thin adhesive. I used repositionable adhesive so my sewing needle would move through it easily.

 

3. Machine stitch straight lines down the middle of the strip using white thread. If you don't have a sewing machine, use a fine tip pen or marker to hand draw in little stitch marks.

 

4. Thread three small orange buttons with pink embroidery floss and adhere to the hearts on the far left side.

5. Adhere heart strips to top of page using foam adhesive. Fussy cut orange cat from patterned paper. Adhere banner sticker, orange cat, and mouse sticker over heart strips as shown.

6. I then used the fish bone die from the Kitty Die Set to cut a bone out of wax paper. Yes, WAX PAPER! I love the slightly opaque look the wax paper gives the fish bone!

 

I created this sweet little kitty with cardstock and the cat from the Cat's Meow Die Set. Isn't he adorable? I think he would be so cute with patterned paper legs and tail too!

 

And how neat are these playful alphabet stickers? They are a great match to this fun collection! Thanks for joining us today! I hope I have inspired you to get creative with die cuts on your next layout.

How to Use Designer Dies and Stamps to Create this sweet "Meow" Card Set!

 Shellye here today with a sweet set of kitty cards to share with your favorite cat lover!  I’ve used the brand new “Meow” Collection and Designer Dies.

For the first card I cut the journal card from the “Journaling Cards” paper and corner rounded the edges.  Next, I used the Kitty Die Set to cut a cat silhouette from the paper.

I also cut the same cat shape from Side B of the “Kitty Stripe” Paper.  A mat of paper 1/2” larger than the journal card was cut from the “Kitty Plaid” Paper.  The journal card was added to the top of the mat paper with foam adhesive tape.

The black die-cut cat was glued to the center of the cut-out shape and embellished with the other pieces from the Designer Die set.  The sentiment from the “Pretty Kitty” Stamp Set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo ink.  A strip of the border sticker was added to the bottom along with a ribbon bow.

The second card focused more on the cute artwork on the journal card and was then accented with the cat facial features and ears from the “Cat’s Meow” Designer Die Set.

To the bottom of the sentiment, a row of hearts was added.  The heart is a part of the same “Cat’s Meow” die set. Foam adhesive was used on every-other heart to add dimensional interest.

For the kitty’s nose, I used a large, pink enamel dot.

I’m excited to share these cards with my favorite cat-loving friends!

Create a "purr-fect" Little Gift Bag with our "Meow" collection!

 

Hi there Echo Park Paper Fans!  Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing a Cat Gift Bag just  purr-fect for any Cat Lover made with Echo Park Paper's Meow kit.  

When I was a kid, I had a cat named Mustard.  He was the runt of the litter and  I named him Mustard because his color reminded me of Mustard.   Now ,when I look back to my childhood with Mustard, he probably wasn't the best house cat to own.  He clawed, chewed and always wanted to escape but  since I was his favorite,  he would always come home to me.    So inspired by the memories of Mustard my cat, I created a Cat Lover Gift bag  with a big orange bow that reminds me of my childhood pal.  

 The bag is cut with my Silhouette and  a Lori Whitlock cut file using Meow patterned paper.  The bag is embellished with Sticker Accents banner and a pretty orange ribbon. 

Such a fun little gift bag for any Cat Lover or just to give to someone you think is Purr-fect!  Be sure to PIN this project for future inspiration!!  And while you're on Pinterest, be sure to follow us too!!
