There are few words to convey the joy of welcoming a new baby. Sharing and receiving the news of your precious newborn are moments that you'll always remember, which is why I created my Baby Girl Stationery Set with papers and embellishments from Echo Park Paper. The Baby Girl Collection has diaper pins and footprints and all of the imagery that you'd expect from a baby collection, but there's so much more. There's sweet swans and fluffy llamas and lovely bouquets of luscious flowers. It's a collection that's perfect for every new Mom...or Grandma!
To make my stationery set, I began by creating a box from Carta Bella's Ultra White Cardstock. The lid was made with “Girl Gingham” Patterned Paper and for the plastic window, I used the packaging that the Baby Girl Collection Kit came in. I made divided compartments in the box that hold three interactive cards with coordinating envelopes, two dimensional gift tags, and sweet paper flower embellishments made from the aptly named Sweet Flower Die Set.
The “It's a Girl” card features a sentiment from the Baby Girl Sticker Book. The sticker book is a relatively new addition to the Echo Park Paper line and I am thrilled about it. The book is loaded with cute images, sentiments and fun elements for any project.
The “Welcome Baby” card also features a sentiment from the Baby Girl Sticker Book. I love the tiny little buttons from the book too. Aren't they the cutest?
For the “Sweet Baby Girl” card, I used a sentiment from the Chipboard Accents and placed it on a circle cut from the Designer Dies Stitched Circle Die Set. I love using chipboard accents to add dimension to a project.
I'm so pleased with how cute this stationery set looks! I know that it will be a useful and welcomed gift for a Mom who's expecting or a Grandma who can't wait for a sweet Baby Girl.

Hey everyone, Michelle Gallant here today sharing a new project with the It's Your Birthday Girl Collection.

It's time to celebrate with the It's Your Birthday Girl Collection from Echo Park Paper! This collection has presents, unicorns, yummy cupcakes and the coolest cats and kittens. It's everything you'll need to share the fun of her special day. To keep the party going, I made the sweetest dollhouse that she'll be able to use long after the cupcakes are gone.
I created this three story party house in the traditional dollhouse-style with an open back and removable furniture. The SVG file that I used was intended to be a Christmas décor item, but with a few minor changes it became a little girl's dream house. The It's Your Party Girl 6X6 Paper Pad has perfectly scaled prints for cheery wall paper and doll house accessories that were so much fun to make.
I used elements from the Element Sticker Sheet to bring the details to life. By adhering the stickers to Carta Bella Ultra White Felt Designer Cardstock and then cutting around the images, I was able to create my own faux chipboard pieces that would endure hours of playtime. Now kitty is free to move around the house without being stuck in one place!
This adorable little house would make a lovely centerpiece for a little girl's party or as a special gift that she'll fondly remember long after she's grown. They're only little once, so celebrate her day with the It's Your Birthday Girl Collection by Echo Park Paper.

Hello everyone! It’s Dorymar Perez here! Today, I want to share with you a beautiful mini album I created using the cute I Love My Dog collection by Echo Park. When I saw this collection, I fell in love instantly because I’m a dog Lover! I wanted to design a very simple mini album to document your lovely days with your four paws babies.
This album measures 4¾”x 6” with a 1½” spine and can hold up to 20 photos. I used the ultra-white linen cardstock to make the base of the pages. To cover the exterior of the mini, I used the b-side of the 4x6 Journaling Cards Paper and b-side of Dog Tags Paper and decorate it with the beautiful stickers of the collection.
The mini album consists of 8 pages filled with lots of interactive elements and details. To cover the inside pages with 6x6 papers from the Paper Pad and reduce all the papers at 4¼”x5¼” and used the leftovers to add layers in every page.
I couldn’t resist adding all the elements of the Ephemera Pack because they are too perfect for the occasion.
I used many of the 3x4 journaling cards to create flaps, pockets and inserts.
Each page features layers of paper, stickers and die cuts along with some of the journal cards. This collection is so full of the most adorable details including some of the cutest dogs you will ever encounter!
The page fronts have space for photos and journaling for even more memorabilia! Above you can see more close ups of the pages!
I love how this project turned out! I can’t wait to add pictures! Now you can create your own special dog lover mini album for that special dog in your life.
I hope this project inspires you to create with the wonderful I love my Dog Collection from Echo Park! Come and visit me on my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dorymar_pl/

Hello there, friends! This is Lydia Cost, and I’m thrilled to be sharing a look at my dog treat holders, using the adorable I Love My Dog collection.
These portable treat holders are amazing for sharing with your local animal shelters, small businesses, or neighbors with pets. I love how simple they are to whip up, and I love the little smile they bring to all kinds of pet owners.
These are really simple to create. You simply design a shape about three times the size of the treat that you intend to use. For my particular dog treats, a dog bone shape was perfect. I chose to hand draw and cut each of my shapes, but you could design or find a dog bone in the cut-file store just as easily. All you need is two identical shapes to back together and then stitch up your treat.
Make sure to stitch up your bone or shape before putting in your treat, leaving a gap for your treat to slide in. Finish up by sliding in your treat, and then hand guide your sewing machine knob to stitch up the rest. Once they are all stitching up, the fun part comes; Dress-up your treat holders with ephemera and stickers
My lovely little treats made their way to a friend’s coffee shop, to give to her dog-loving customers. I suggest leaving a few of the threads on the edges loose, so that the end of your treat holder is easy to tear to remove the bone or snack.
I hope you’re filled with some inspiration from my little treat holders, and thanks so much!

Valentines Day is my favorite holiday. There's no pressure, no big meals to prepare, and it's an opportunity to tell everyone that you care. This year, I've made some adorable little treat boxes using the Be My Valentine Collection by Echo Park Paper.
I made each of the boxes with the Heart Box 3D Die Set. They're simple to put together, and they look so cute! Everyone is going to love them!
The Heart Box 3D Die Set comes with a little banner. The banner is the perfect size to stamp on. There are several sweet sentiments in the Be My Valentine Stamp Set. There's a sentiment for everyone!
I truly love all of the patterns and colors that come in the Be My Valentine Collection Kit. There's several pinks to delight my best friend and a luscious gold that I know my husband will love. There's patterns for everyone too. Traditional icons as well as fun and whimsical hand drawn elements are scattered throughout the patterned papers.
I'm so excited about these cute little boxes! I think I'm going to make more for our neighbors. And the postal carrier would like one as well. Who will you be giving your boxes to?

Yay! We are so excited to share this fun project from guest designer, Michelle Houx! She's created a beautiful an amazing Valentine post featuring Echo Park’s Be My Valentine Paper Collection. Here's what Michelle has to say: This collection has all of your favorite Valentine colors as well as so many fun images and sayings to inspire your Valentine crafting this year. The two things I MUST craft this time of year... a Valentine Mailbox and of course, cards! This brings me back to my childhood when I would cover a shoebox with construction paper and stickers and hand write all those cards to my friends at school! How about you?
I cut the Valentine Mailbox using my Cricut and some pink, gold and glitter cardstock I had on hand, as well as the ‘B’ side of Box of Chocolates and Candy Hearts Paper. I love that this collection has both subtle and bold patterns to choose from. Then, I cut the large “Sweetheart” image from the 6x4 Journaling Cards. To finish the box I added a few heart sequins and stickers from the Be My Valentine Element Sticker Sheet. Seriously, who wouldn’t want to store all their love notes in here?!
The cards went together so quickly using the Pink & Gold Coordinating Solids Paper for the card bases as well as layering elements from the Valentine Floral Paper, 3x4 Journaling Cards, 6x4 Journaling Cards,4x6 Journaling Cards, 4x4 Journaling Cards, Ephemera and Sticker Sheet. I had fun cutting apart some of the journaling cards to create those cute little scenes you see on each card, as well as adding pieces of ephemera and a sticker or two.
This collection was so fun to work with and has really put me in the mood to make Valentine’s for all my loved ones.
Michelle Houx
