Echo Park Paper

Beautiful, Beautiful Fall!

Hello Carta Bella and Echo Park Fans! It's Jana Eubank. Today I have a layout to share with you using the gorgeous Fall Break collection.

 

I love when a fall collection includes the color blue.So many of our Fall photos include the warm colors of gold, orange, and red. Using blue can offset all the warmth and really help your photos pop and look their best!

 

 

I included two 4"x3" photos on this page in a grid pattern of six blocks. In between the photos in the left column I added this adorable map die cut (Ephemera) of the fall colors in the United States. A trio of blue enamel dots gives the die cut a bit of dimension.

 

 

The remaining blocks in the right column were all cut from papers of the 6x6 paper pad. I added my journaling to the top block, and then used the center block for my title. The bottom block is a more colorful pattern, so I left it plain, without any embellishing, to let the viewer take in all of the cute fall images.

 

I used die cuts from the Ephemera pack (the "Beautiful" word piece and the "F-A-L-L" banner pieces) together to create the title. Next, I accented the title block with the blue and white pumpkin images from this collection. I love these non-traditional pumpkin colors! They are so on trend and have a serene feeling about them ... just like a beautiful, crisp fall day!

 

 

Underneath the right edge of the grid block I added several die cut leaves using Natural White Felt Designer Cardstock and the Harvest Branches Die Set. If I had die cut them from colored cardstock, they would have competed with the patterns I had going on in the rest of the design. The tone-on-tone texture of the die cuts is a fun way to add more interest (and more fall flair) to the overall layout.

 

 

Thanks for coming by today! I hope you enjoyed seeing my page!

"Fall Break" Mini Album

Hello Carta Bella friends! Did you ever make a mini book ahead of time for a new season, family trip, or a special occasion? I’ve done it many times and it’s one of my favorite approaches! Since I don’t have the photos yet, I simply let my creative juices flow without over thinking how and where the photos will go. There are always enough photos to fill the album later. Anya here today and I want to share a mini book with you that I created using the Fall Break collection by Carta Bella.

I created the album cover using the Chipboard Cardstock  by Carta Bella, faux leather pieces in two colors and bits and pieces from the Fall Break collection. Chipboard pieces and Brads always look great on the cover!

I loved playing with the variety of patterned papers in the collection to decorate all the pages. Since I knew I wanted to use a lot of chipboard stickers in this album, I made it possible by creating a 1.5” wide spine. It also let me add some interactive elements like pockets and foldout pages.

Since I plan to add photos to this album later, I had to think of the placements of decorations in some places. For example, the long chipboard piece with pumpkins, before adhering it to the photo mat, I removed the backing and attached it just by the corners, leaving the middle section free of adhesive so that the photo could easily be slid under.

To create this mini album I used the following products:

Premium Chipboard 150 lb Cardstock

Fall Break Collection Kit

Fall Break Decorative Brads

Fall Break Chipboard Accents

Fall Break Chipboard Phrases

Fall Break 6x6 Paper Pad

Fall Break Ephemera

Fall Break Frames and Tags

Fall Break Enamel Dots

"Fall Break" Card

Hello there - it's Tya up on the blog today sharing a handmade card with you all today. I really loved working with the beautiful Fall Break line by Carta Bella. It is classic and the icons are so stunning! This line definitely had me longing for cooler temperatures and big cozy sweaters! I love Fall! 

The orange plaid paper from the Fall Break 6x6 paper pad was the perfect background to build my card on. I LOVED the cute scarecrow that is found on the Journaling Card paper and wanted him to take center stage on my card. I layered him on a leaf paper from the 6x6 pad and mounted that to the card base.

I built up a little fall scene along the bottom edge of the card using some die cut leaves, stickers and chipboard pieces. I  added foam tape between the layers for some added dimension. I wrapped a piece of jute around the bottom edge and tied a small bow on the left side of the card.

On the top of the card I added a tab die cut from the Ephemera pack and then some enamel dots for shine. 

It was a lot of fun making this card using all of the fall themed products. I hope I have inspired you  to make a few cards of  your own with the Fall Break line! A card made with it will surely make any one's Fall day! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

"Hocus Pocus" Layout

Hello, Echo Park friends! Jana Eubank here. I'm happy to be back to share a scrapbook page with you using the Hocus Pocus collection!

 

 

To create this design I split my page into four quadrants. For the top left quadrant, I used one of the 4x6 Journaling Cards as a background for these adorable trick-or-treaters fussy-cut from another 4x6 card. I popped them up with foam squares so that they appear like they are walking right down the street! I used the stars from the Happy Haunting stamp to add more detail to the night sky.

 

 

To the right of the trick-or-treaters, I placed my main photo on an Ebony Black Felt Designer Cardstock mat. I used the stamps again to create a tab for the top corner.

 

 

I wanted to include quite a bit of journaling on this page, so I kept the title simple. I fussy-cut the "31" from the 4x4 Journaling Cards paper and then added it to a punched circle of the witch boot pattern printed on the opposite side of that same paper. Next, I tucked a few flag stickers to the right of the numbers and then added the ghost sticker.

 

 

At the bottom of the page, I placed a strip of Green Black Foil Stripe paper and then used the strip to anchor a little scene created with the Element Stickers. More stamped stars fill in the empty spaces and tie it in with the trick-or-treater scene at the top of the page.

 

 

I used my sewing machine to add a double row of wonky stitching around the edges of the Natural White Felt Designer Cardstock background, and then double-matted it with the Green Gingham paper and the purple plaid Treat Bag Paper.

 

 

Grab the Hocus Pocus collection for yourself to document the adventure of YOUR trick-or-treaters this year!

Autumn Gingham Card Set

Good morning everyone! Do you like Echo Park’s Dots and Stripes collections as much as I do? I simply love them for their versatility and ability to stretch any matching collection! Anya here today and I would like to share with you a few cards I made with the Dots and Stripes Autumn Gingham collection.

For my first card, I divided the front panel into four quarters, using a different color gingham print for each quarter, and decorating the middle with fall die cut leaves. I finished this card by adding a twine bow, chip board piece and a few enamel dots.

The other two cards vary in color, but are identical in design. On a 4x6” piece of gingham patterned paper I made a freehand half circle and cut it out. The other part, I covered with a piece of white cardstock embossed with the gorgeous Autumn Florals Embossing Folder.

Again, the cards were decorated with die cut leaves, chip board pieces and enamel dots. I also added die cut labels and a die cut sentiment to each card.

"Hocus Pocus" Halloween Treat Holders

Hey there Echo Park fans! Tya here - and it's my turn up on the blog today. I am sharing some quick and easy treat holders featuring the adorable Hocus Pocus line! These sincerely came together so quickly. I can't wait to share with you how to make them!

To make these fun packages, I started with a piece of Ebony Black Felt Cardstock that measures 3 x 8 1/2. I scored the papers on the 8 1/2 inch side at 3/4, 4 1/2  and 5 inches. I took a small stapler and stapled the bottom edge right toward bottom to make sure the fold stayed in place. I then decorated each holder with various papers and stickers from the collection and then added a little snack size bag of treats to the inside. Treats that can lay flat like shown below work best for this project.

Here are some close ups:

Can you imagine how fun these would be for co-workers or classroom treats? They are easy enough even your little ones can help put these together! I hope I have inspired you to make a batch of these with this cute collection. The colors and icons are so, so fun! Thank you for stopping by today! Happy Crafting!

"Hocus Pocus" Card Trio

My favorite thing about Halloween is having all of the trick-or-treaters come to the door and seeing all of their cute costumes. Hi, Everyone! It's Jana Eubank! The Hocus Pocus collection has it's own cute set of trick-or-treaters and I couldn't wait to feature them on this set of Halloween cards!

 

I love how this first trick-or-treater has removed his skeleton mask ... isn't that what always happens on Halloween night? As you go about your route, it's a bit hard to see where you are going, so you end up taking off the mask. Haha! He also reminds me a bit of my teen son ... I think this card would be perfect for him!

 

 

This next card looks like we have walked right into a Halloween Costume party. The skeleton is showing off his best dance moves to his friend, the ghost, with a spider dangling overhead.

 

 

This mummy isn't going to let Mr. Skeleton have all the fun! He has his own set of dance moves! 

 

At the bottom of this card, I've added a die cut witch hat and boots from the Hocus Pocus die set. I had fun adding dimensional details, like the jewel on the hat and the laces for the boots.

 

 

What are your party plans this Halloween? Why not use a trio of trick-or-treater cards to invite your friends over for a celebration?

"Bewitched" Layout

 Hi there Echo Park fans! Tya here and I am happy to be sharing with you a scrapbook layout featuring the fantastic Bewitched line! I simply love Halloween and this collection is perfect for creating pages showcasing your little witches! 

I have always loved these photos of my youngest daughter when she was dressed up as this sassy little witch in her purple striped socks and feathery witch hat. I loved the purple in this collection! I adore the Wicked Witches paper so I used that as my background. I cut out a funky star wreath from some black cardstock using my Silhouette and then backed the wreath with some white cardstock and started building my layout from there.  Here are some close ups of the page:

I like to make embellishment clusters when I decorate my pages and so I chose some flowers, a candy jar, a jack o lantern and a small piece of candy and layered them with foam tape. 

The 3x4 cards are some of my favorite items to use and this card fit in so great with the theme of the page.  I some foam tape behind a cauldron sticker and popped it up on the card. I mounted the card on some black cardstock. I also used the purple side of the Trick or Treat paper and cut the Happy Halloween title out from the Happy Halloween die set.

I like continuity on my pages so I copied the same sticker layering technique over on the right side of the page as well.

All around the black star wreath I added some star stickers for little pops of color. I really like how it added  a little touch of something extra to the wreath so I stands out a little more from the background paper.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by the blog today.

"Celebrate Autumn" Card Set

Hello Echo Park paper friends! My favorite season is just around the corner and I always enjoy creating anything fall related! Anya here today to share with you a set of cards I created with the “Celebrate Autumn” collection.

To create this card I used a number of different dies by Echo Park Paper: to cut the circle window, fall leaves, the adorable owl, as well as the sentiment and fox on the other card. I embossed a piece of solid color paper with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder and placed it behind the circle window to add some texture to the card.

Also, I added some shades to the fall foliage with the red stamping ink and sprinkled Enamel Dots and Nuvo Crystal Drops around the leaves cluster.

It was fun creating a similar card, with a different colored window and a fox instead of the owl. For the fox I used the Mister Fox Die Set and the Thankful Leaves Die Set for the sentiment.

If you'd like Anya to walk you through, step-by-step, how to make the Owl card, click HERE for the FREE downloadable instruction page with step-by-step instructions and a complete supply list!

Bewitching Halloween Card

Hello everyone! It's Tya, and it’s my turn up on the blog today to share with a handmade card with you featuring the wonderful Bewitched line. This is such a fun and feminine collection! I loved all the pretty pops of purple in this line. This card came together so quickly and I kind of love it!

To start with, I made a 5x5 inch card base from some Ebony Black Cardstock. I cut a piece of the polka dot side of the Hocus Pocus Potions paper and layered that on the card base. I cut the witch in the moon card from the 4x4 Journaling Card paper. I backed the card with a slightly larger piece of Trouble Brewing paper. Here are a few close ups of the elements of the card:

I love this little black kitty in a pumpkin! Isn't he so cute? I added him along with a floral sticker to the bottom left of the card. 

This adorable witch from the Sticker Sheet was just my favorite so I added her on a piece of Phantom Pumpkins paper that I cut out from one of the circles in the Nesting Stitched Circles Die cut. I added some foam tape behind the circle and added her to the center of the card. I then added the "It’s Witching Hour" banner sticker to the bottom of the circle

On the left side I added another little sticker cluster. I used a potion bottle, a stack of books and another one of the floral stickers. These are tucked underneath the stitched circle die cut.

Thank you for taking a peek at my card today. I love Halloween and can't wait to use more of the Bewitched collection on more projects.  Happy Crafting!
