Echo Park Paper

Cupid & Co. Scrapbook Layout

Hey everyone,  Michelle here today sharing a new layout using the  Cupid & Co collection and an Echo Park cut file.  I don't know about you but I always love working with Valentine themed collections.  I hardly ever use them for Valentine projects, but there's just something about the red and pink!  And then when you add all those hearts and love quotes...so much fun!

 

I cut out the Heart Wreath cut file from the Silhouette store twice, using 2 different pattern papers.  I then layered them on my layout and stitched them with my sewing machine.

 

I then folded the hearts to add some dimension on my page.  I always like to have things popped up on my layouts.  

 

There were so many cute quotes in the ephemera pack.  I couldn't pick just one so I added a couple of them.

 

 

To finish I added a frame around my page and some stickers.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

When my children were young, I baked them sweet treats for Valentines Day. They grew up knowing that not all Valentines come in an envelope. When I saw the beautiful Cupid Co. patterned papers, I remembered some of my favorite valentine treats and wanted to make paper versions of the yummy baked goods.

 

 

Echo Park Paper has consistently provided several beautiful floral papers in every collection. The "XOXO Banners" patterned paper has a beautiful pattern on the front and a gorgeous floral on the "B" side. I used the floral for some yummy patterned icing. The strawberries were made with the B side of the sweet "Be Mine Bouquets" patterned paper. That tiny polka dot print was perfect for strawberry seeds!

 

 

Another sweet floral is on the "B" side of the "4X6 Journaling Cards" Patterned Paper. The dainty floral hearts made adorable icing confections. I am in love with flowers, but there's more! There are plaids and solids that complement each paper. I was impressed with the addition of a lovely Lt. Gray Solid and gray plaid. The dove gray color is subtle, yet elegant. It made a wonderful "cake", but would be great with all of the prints in any project.

 

 

If you're looking for Valentine's Day flowers, Cupid & Co delivers! The floral prints and patterns are modern, yet timeless, and will make every Valentine's Day project a real treat!

 

 

This Valentine's Day, what will you Cook up with the Cupid & Co Collection?

Cupid & Co. Valentine Cards

Hi friends, it is Dorymar today to share some Valentine’s Day card inspiration with you. To make these cards I used the gorgeous “Cupid & Co. Collection” from Echo Park. This is a very lovely collection with beautiful patterns, cute designs, and gorgeous colors.

I made a set of two, and I used the 6x6 paper pad, the sticker element sheet and the stunning frames and tags ephemera pack to create them. 

The prints from the 6x6 paper pad are not large making this is ideal for cards or page layouts.  I adore using many pieces to create my cards to decorate them, I cut several pieces from the 6x6 papers, and then I selected the sentiments that I liked the most from the ephemera pack and embellished them with the beautiful elements that are included in the element sticker sheet.

This collection has many extra embellishments that you can add to your project, I hope my cards inspired you to create with this spectacular collection. If you want to create them, check the downloadable instruction in the link HERE!

Happy Times at the Zoo Layout

Hi Carta Bella fans, Dorymar here today with a fun and easy inspirational project.  The new Zoo Adventure Collection from a Carta Bella is the perfect one to document your fun experiences at the Zoo or a Safari.  On 2019 my family and I travel to Panamá, is a warm and beautiful country. During our stay there we visited the Summit Municipal Park, it is a conservatory that houses several native species and my family and I had a very fun day, so I decided to use this photo with this magnificent collection.

I started the page by creating my background using the Stay Wild paper and the b-side of Monkeys paper. Next, I made splatters with white paint and made some doodles around the edges with black pen. This are simple but fun technique to create a beautiful background. 

With my digital cutting machine, I cut the “Happy Times” title, you can find this free digital file at Paige Evans Happy Scrappy Place on Facebook.  Then, I backed the empty spaces with patterned papers from the 6x6 Zoo Adventure Paper Pad. I adhered the big title with foam tape at the bottom of the page.

Above the title, I adhered my 4x6 photo and selected some of the beautiful animals included in the element sticker sheet to create small clusters in different places inside and around the title. This gave it a special and very nice touch.

I love how my page turned out and I hope my project inspire you to use the colorful and fun Zoo Adventure Collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Interactive Zoo Birthday Box Invitations

Hello there again amazing crafty friends!  It’s Lydia Cost today, and I’m excited to be sharing some fun and interactive invitations I created using the Zoo Adventure collection.  I had so much fun using all the papers in this fun collection, paired with some of the amazing new designer item releases.

For these invites I decided on a white 3z3 box.  These are perfect for adding any type of embellishment you desire, for whatever you theme you might have.  I knew I wanted to get a head start on invitations for my kiddo’s sixth birthday next summer; I couldn’t think of a more perfect option than the Zoo Adventure collection.

I started each box by choosing one of the animal illustrations from the collection.  I then pulled out the new “Nature Edges” Die Set.  This die set was perfect for setting the scene for each animal on the inside of each box.  For the tiger and monkeys, I chose the great grass die.  For the hippo I knew I would need the perfect little wave of water die.  And the cloud die made perfect sense, for highlighting the top of each scene.  The solids collection of paper is always a treat when working with the EP dies.

Next, I filled my boxes with coordinating paper filler grass.  I plan to add in a bunch of little treats and trinkets for the kiddos to dig through and find upon delivery.  I filled the grass up to the top of the box, so that my square card could fit right on top.

For the card I chose to create a QR code, that could be scanned for all the party details.  This makes it super simple to link all the event details on a calendar event, that can be easily added to anyone’s phone calendar!  It will tag the location, event time and date, and even add a phone number for RSVP!

Next, I chose some alpha stickers from my stash to add my box scene.  I set the “title” for my invites as “Asher is 6!”  I nestled in my title right in with each of my animal scenes.  I love the way the title really ties in the whole invitation.

To finish off my little box invitations, I chose a coordinating patterned paper for the outside of the box.  I covered all the white surfaces on the outside with a square patterned paper, to really help each box invite pop.  I really love the way they turned out, and I can’t wait to make a bunch more for all my kiddo’s friends!

Puppy Love Scrapbook Pages

Hi friends, It’s Dorymar today with a very lovely project. I love animals but my favorite ones are the dogs, I have had dogs all my life and they have all filled my heart with a lot of love. So, when I saw the new Echo Park collection "My Dog" I loved it instantly. Currently, I have two beautiful Mini Pinchers and they are super special to me, so I decided to create a double Layout to show off the photos of my adorable four-paws babies.

For my first Layout I used the b-side of “4x6 Journaling Cards” and the b-side of “Tag You’re It” paper as my base.  I reduce the “Tag You’re It” paper at 11.25”x11.25”. Then I selected the “Puppy Party” paper and cut a piece that measure 3”x12” and adhered it in the left side of my background.  Close to this piece I adhered a strip from the Element Sticker sheet.   As a photo mat, I used a piece cut out from the b-side of 3x4 journaling card that measure 6.5”x8”.

As a title of my project, I used the “hello friend” included in one of the 6x4 Journaling card and adhered it in the left side of my picture with foam tape for a dimension. Close to my title I added a colorful banner from the Element Sticker sheet.

Using the lovely dogs and elements from the element sticker sheet as well as the dimensional, Layered Stickers, I have added some balanced clusters either side of my photo. I really adore the dimension in my projects, they look fantastic!

Here you can see a close-up shot of how beautiful the layered elements look.

For my second layout, I used the b-side of the "Good Dog" paper, then I used the leftover of the “Puppy Party” paper and cut a piece that measures 8”x12” and another that measures 1”x12”. Then I adhered the 8x12 piece at 1/2 " from the right edge and the 1" piece at 1.5 " from the left edge of the base.

For the layers of my layout I used a piece from the b-side of the 3x4 journaling cards that measured 5.5” x12” and adhered it on top of the striped paper.  Then I cut my photo mat from the b-side of “Puppy Pals” paper that measure 7”x 7”, next I adhered my 2.5”x2.5” photos.

For finishing touches I added the leftover strips from the base of my layouts and adhered it bottom of my photos and embellished the page with elements from the Element Sticker sheet.   All are adhered with foam tape to add a beautiful dimension.

I love how my pages turning out and I hope inspires you to create your own ones with this fantastic collection.

"My Dog" Travelers Notebook Spread

Hi there, crafty friends!  It’s Lydia Cost today, and I’m happy to be creating a little TN spread with all of you, with a fun little twist.  The My Dog collection was my perfect companion for creating this spread, with lots of photos of our adopted doggo.

I wanted to create something a little different this time, and I knew I wanted it to involve some fun pockets.  I decided instead of doing a standard pocket page spread, I wanted to do something out of the box.  I pulled out on my 6x8 pocket page protectors.  I knew it would be the perfect size for folding in half and stitching into my TN notebook.  I wanted to be able to fit lots of fun memories on this same TN spread, and it was the perfect solution.

Make sure to check out the project download for this project, to get all the details for how to create your very own pocket insert for your TN spread.  I had a lot of fun being able to insert more photos and journaling, than a standard TN spread allows for.

I filled the left side of my spread with a fun patterned paper, one larger photo, and a die-cut as my large title.  The Frames and tags pack always includes the perfect large pieces to title any project you have!  I layered up my photo with another few pieces of the die-cut packs with some tissue paper and popped it up on my spread.

For the right side I let my pocket insert do all the talked with journaling cards and shaker pockets.  I chose that pretty cloud patterned paper, to really let it shine.  It made a perfect neutral background for anything I filled my pockets with.

With my added pocket insert, I had room for 8 more pocket options.  I filled mine with confetti, more photos, and some of the amazing journaling cards from the patterned papers.  The journaling cards sheets are always some of my favorites for easy memory-keeping.

"Winter Magic" Card Set

Winter giving you a case of the blues? You're going to love the blues in the Echo Park Paper Winter Magic Collection. The lightest icy blue, the darkest midnight blue and all the beautiful blues in between are represented. It's like playing in a frozen wonderland!

 

I'm Michelle Zerull and I used Winter Magic to create my own winter wonderland. The Carta Bella White Shimmer Designer Cardstock made a sturdy base for my cards. then I added layers and layers of the beautiful blues from the Winter Magic Collection Kit. The cardstock has a lovely sheen that mimics snow glare and coordinates wonderfully with this collection.

 

 

I added die cut trees to both of the cards. The trees were made with the Winter Magic Winter Trees Die Set. They are one of my all-time favorites! Tufts of faux snow mixed with a touch of white glitter embellished the branches. It was so fun to work with! The trees were then placed on a piece of hazy vellum surrounded by frames from the Winter Magic Frames and Tags set. The frames reminded me of windows to look upon the winter wonderland.

 

 

The Winter Magic Collection has many other fun icons as well. There's penguins, snowmen, snowglobes and lots and lots of gorgeous snowflakes. There's so many lovely elements that I can stay cozy indoors and craft with the Winter Magic all season long!

 

 

What will you use to create your own magic?

Winter Magic Mini Album

Hello friends, It’s Dorymar with a beautiful inspiration for Winter.  For this project, I used the new Winter Magic Collection from Echo Park, this collection has many types of blue, gorgeous winter patterns, cute elements, and beautiful snowmen.

Because I love the collection, I decided to create a mini album because this gave me the opportunity to use all the beautiful elements of the collection.  The measurements of the album are 5”x7.5”x3 and has pocket pages with many inserts and pockets.

On the cover, I used a lovely sentiment from the 3x4 Journaling cards paper as a title of my project.   Around it, I created a beautiful cluster with beautiful pine trees, snowflakes, and a beautiful snowman to create a winter scene.

On the spine I created a beautiful shaker with sequins and artificial snow, this makes the project look super wonderful as well as gives it a charming touch. To make the base of the shaker I used a chipboard frame and lined it with one of the solid papers from the collection, next I placed a piece of acetate so that show off the snow. Around, I incorporated some snowflakes and banners that are included in the die cuts ephemera pack.

Inside the album you can find 6 pocket pages, in every pocket page I put one insert.  The insert is a flip out card and inside them you have many spaces for photos and journaling. 

I decided to decorate all the cards that flip out at the top to have more space to add photos, pockets, tags, and beautiful decorations with the elements of the collection.

Below you can see all the pages in detail.

With the Magical Snowflakes Die Set and solid papers of the collection, I cut out the beautiful snowflakes to be observed at the top of the message. To give it the final touch I added some enamel dots. They look wonderful! Pockets and more pockets are always perfect for a fun touch but also to have much more space in the project.

This collection includes the most beautiful messages and sentiments of winter!

I love to use everything I can in this type of project, papers, dies, stickers, chipboards, washi tapes, stamps ... everything! This makes the result a beautiful project to document your beautiful winter memories.

I hope my project inspires you to use the wonderful Winter Magic Collection from Echo Park!
