Create a 3-D rocket with "Pinstripes!"

Are you looking for a fun project to fill that empty spot on your son's bedroom shelf? Why not create a dimensional rocket using the Pinstripes collection? It's perfect for all kinds of project for men and boys. I created this rocket using an electronic die cutting machine. Of course I had to use the Cars and Stars paper with it's fun constellation of stars for the body of the rocket! It looks so cute paired with the red Boy Bingo Stripes paper and Stars Foil paper.

 

I added a Rocket die cut to the side using the 6x6 paper pad and Rocket Die Set. The clouds beneath the rocket were created using the Under the Weather Die Set. I feel like this ship is ready to shoot for the stars!

 

 

I adorned the other side of the rocket with a sprinkling of gears using the Gears Die Set. I cut each shape out twice to give each gear a white shadow ... helping them to stand out a bit more. A few dimensional embellishments here-and-there add sparkle and shine.

 

Are you ready to create a fun project for the man in your life? Be sure to check out the Pinstripes collection here.

 

See you again soon!

Honor Your Favorite Guy with His Own Scrapbook Layout!

Hello! Tegan here today and I am excited to show off the brand new Pinstripes collection. It is the perfect masculine collection that can be used for both boy projects and projects about your favorite man! I love the mix of globes, stars, and woodgrain in this fun, yet rugged guy-inspired collection.

The brand new Echo Park Paper foiled papers are a must have! You can see here that the gold stars on this star patterned paper are foiled! The foiling adds just the perfect amount of pizzazz to this masculine collection.

I had fun layering some different patterned papers with the ephemera die cuts and stickers to create the main element for my photo. And notice that the collection is a perfect fit to what my hubby is wearing!

The alphabet stickers from this collection are so much fun! I used my Silhouette Cameo to die cut the word “GUY” from the red striped patterned paper using the Aharoni font. I stretched the “U” horizontally a little to add some interest to my title. I finished off the title with enamel dots, an arrow sticker, and the rocket sticker. I love the way it turned out!

I added some journaling to the die cut journaling tag with my antique typewriter. I adhered the mustache sticker to it with foam adhesive and added an enamel dot. Super easy and cute! The Pinstripes collection is perfect for documenting that special man- or boy- in your life!

DIY Custom "Pinstripes" Card

Hello everyone! Kimberly here with a great boy card using the Pinstripes Collection, along with some fantastic coordinating Designer Dies and Designer Stamps! I love how Designer Dies and Stamps allow you to customize your project. You can use any colors and any supplies to create a one-of-a-kind embellishment.

Using Designer Dies Rocket Die set, I cut several pieces of paper from the Pinstripes 6x6 Pad. The pad contains several small scale, or subtle prints. They are ideal for die cutting, as they add texture, bringing more life to your die cut images. Included in the die set are the red lines you see on the rocket, along with a two-part flame. The pieces fit together perfectly, making adding those special details easy.

To add more fun to my rocket, I added a small circle with a star. It came from the Pinstripes Ephemera Pack. I liked how the star on the rocket tied in with the patterned paper layered onto my card base.

After trimming a panel of Natural White Linen Designer Cardstock to size, I stamped the phrase from Designer Stamps Ready, Set, Go on the bottom. I knew underneath the rocket would be the perfect place for the sentiment. The card stock seemed a bit plain against the patterned paper, so I inked the edges with a yellow ink, similar in color to the collection.

To continue to tie everything together, I stamped pale blue stars, from the same stamp set, on the card stock panel. The stars add more texture and interest and keep your eye moving up with the rocket.

The rocket was adhered to the card using foam squares, adding to the lift-off feeling. To finish things off, I added a chipboard border from Pinstripes 6x12 Chipboard Accents to the right side.

Thanks for stopping by!

Adorable Boy-Themed Shadow Box Project

Hello friends, Becki here, to share with you an adorable shadowbox that I made with the Pinstripes collection. Let's talk about the Pinstripes collection for a minute. I LOVE this collection. Really good masculine/boy collections seem to be few and far between. This collection is a fabulous collection. I have 2 boys, one is 14 and one is 6. My favorite thing about this collection is that I can use it on projects for both of my boys.

I made this shadow box as a decorative element for my boys bedroom. I started with a plain black frame. After I removed the glass I replaced it with a piece of patterned paper. From there, I simply added layers of stickers, chipboard, and even a canvas tag. I made sure to add a bit of dimensional adhesive under the rocket ship pop against the canvas background.

The chipboard letters that spell out "boys" are adhered on the outside of the frame at the bottom. I added some glue dots to make sure they stayed in place. By adding the chipboard on the bottom of the frame, it adds an extra layer of dimension and a little bit of shadowing to the frame.

Would you use the Pinstripes collection in your albums or for home decor projects?

 

Thanks for stopping by the Echo Park blog. See you all soon!

Is It a Purse or a Gift Bag? Or Both?!?

Hi Everyone! Jana Eubank here. Every Mother's Day I reflect at how grateful I am for all of the wonderful women in my life. My mom, grandmothers, my Mother-in-Law, Sisters, Sisters-in-Law, girlfriends, just to name a few. I wanted to create a special gift bag that I could use to express how special they are to me.

I created this die cut purse gift bag using the Petticoats collection. Wouldn't it be perfect to hold a gift card, perfume, some jewelry, or a couple of delightfully scented lotions? I think so, too!

 

I love the way the floral Beautiful Bouquets paper looks with the green Sunny Damask paper. I added in soft pink and hot pink accents, too.

 

 

I used my sewing machine to stitch each panel with hot pink thread. I love the detailed look this adds to the project!

 

 

In the corner I die cut a few roses with my Cameo machine (Echo Park Silhouette Shape called "Roses" #71592) and then added a sentiment from the Petticoats Chipboard Accents sheet.

I would love to receive this fun gift bag with a goodie inside, wouldn't you? I think the special gals in your life will, too!

Create a floral "Petticoats" Happy Birthday Card

Hello!  Tegan here today showing off the gorgeous new Petticoats collection! Doilies and flowers and pinks…oh my! This bright, fun collection is perfect for any kind of girl project you can think of!

I started out using the Doily #3 die to make a doily using solid yellow paper. I then hand cut it down the middle so that each half would stick out of each side of my card design. I then layered ephemera pieces (floral tag, birthday sentiment), twine, and chipboard pieces (scallop, ‘adorable’ sentiment) to create the main element. The coordinating enamel dots finish it off beautifully!

I then used the flower from the Sweet Girl Die Set to create a 3D flower embellishment. I die cut two flowers from the same pink patterned paper. I gently turned the leaves up on one flower and adhered only the middle of it to the second flower. Layering the flowers like this is so easy and adds a fun effect to any project!

Thanks for joining me today!  I hope I have inspired you to die cut more and have fun with it!  And with the Petticoats collection, now is the perfect time to create some beautiful cards!

Sunny Damask patterned paper
Border Strips patterned paper

Create a Special Layout with the "Petticoats" Collection!

Hi everyone, Anya here to share a girl page using the Petticoats collection. This collection offers such a wide variety of color combinations. When I’m making a page about a girl, my first instinct is to go with pink colors, but this time I wanted to try something different. I found some pictures of my daughter when she was 2, and realized that some beautiful shades of green papers in this collection would be a perfect match.

I started my page with the darkest color and worked my way up to the lightest shade, this way letting the darker colors frame my photos, but leaving the layout relatively light.

Also, to add a little delicate touch to the page, I cut out four damask shapes from the Designer Die set and used them in a row, making an intricate border. Ribbons, buttons, enamel dots, brads and flowers are all a great addition to any girl layout. You can check for a range of matching products that come in this collection.

For my layout I used:

Echo Park Petticoat collection:

Sweet Banners paper

Rows of Bows paper

Beautiful Bouquet paper

Journaling cards

Border Strips

Element Stickers

Alpha Stickers

Chipboard Accents

Ephemera Pack

Enamel Dots
