Echo Park Paper

Two Page "Fall Market" Layout

Hiya scrappy peeps! Suzanna here today to share with you another double page layout! I have a penchant for all things Fall (or Autumn) and this “Fall Market” collection from Echo Park is no exception. I had to have it all. I think if there’s one season that I document most, it would definitely be the fall season. What season do you scrap the most of?

And just as Fall is the season which I scrapbook the most, I’m pretty sure that it is also the season during which I take the most pictures. It was difficult to narrow down the photos so I had eight that I really wanted to share to tell the whole story. And even then, the visible journaling doesn’t fully capture all the stories I want to tell.

In order to get the two vertical 4x6 photos to fit on the page without extending to the top and bottom edges, I printed them with a white border then trimmed off the white border. I contemplated using a square photo for the bottom photo, thus allowing you to see more of the aqua border. However then my husband wouldn’t have fit and amputating his feet was not an option! LOL!

This collection, like all Echo Park collections, has a plethora of fitting embellishments to choose from. There really is no shortage of embellishments with Echo Park. I love that you can combine chipboard with “flat” stickers and create depth to a layout as I have done with the pumpkins above.

You can just see the tops of the leaves peeking up from the bottom of the photo here. While the corn maze didn’t much color other than maize to see, there is nothing that screams Fall more than the changing color of the leaves! I had to use the die set that accompanies this collection to add the touch that is so very much the essence of Fall.

Be sure to swing by my YouTube channel and check out the process video if you are interested!

Thanks for stopping in to today! I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Fall Market Scrapbook Layout

Hi there! Dorymar with you today with a new layout all about the awesome fall with the new Fall Market Collection from Carta Bella. There is nothing like autumn fresh air, pumpkin spice smells and good company to create great memories. 

I started this layout and selecting the back side of the Wagon Time paper as a base.  Then I created a frame by cutting a box in the center of the back side of the Pumpkin Patch paper, leaving a space of 1 inch on all the edges of the paper. 

To add different patterns in the background, I decided to cut three strips of different papers and place them diagonally in the center of the paper to make the background stand out. 

Adding layers to a page is simple and a great way to use the pieces or adding cute elements in the page. I added my pop dots as usual and layered the cute watercolor pumpkins, and fun fall baskets cluster to the Fall word from the Fall Market Chipboard Phrases and this create my title for this subtle layout.

The Autumn Floral paper have become a favorite of mine in this collection for fussy cutting large flowers for my scrapbook page.  I placed a large floral on the down left corner of the page and in different places around the layout. Then I added a few Fall Market Decorative Brads cluster to the large flowers and the subtitle of the layout.

I placed my photos 2x3" and then added some wonderful die cuts to finish off my layout. Adding dimension to elements is of course a must for me so I added pop dots on most of the die cuts and finished off this beautiful layout.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope I've inspired you to create beautiful things with the Fall Market Collection!

"Fall Sweet Fall" Autumn Wreath

Hello there and welcome! It's Tya up on the blog today sharing a festive fall-themed wreath featuring the spectacular "Fall Market" collection by Carta Bella! Boy did I ever have fun making this wreath! It is going to look great along with all of my fall themed decor in my house this year! My home is decorated in a farmhouse motif so this collection was a dream come true to use! Here is my wreath:

To create the wreath I took all of the pattern papers that have a white background and cut them into 4x4 inch squares. I then traced a kitchen plate that measured approximately 8 inches onto some chipboard. I took a piece of the wood slat side of the Autumn Floral 12x12 paper and cut an 8-inch circle out on my Silhouette. I glued the wood paper to the chipboard. To create the cone shape on the 4x4 pattern papers, I simply folded them into a cone shape. I stapled the bottom point of the paper with a stapler. I then applied some adhesive to the top of the folded paper. Once the cone shape was made, I simply hot glued the paper cones to the back of the chipboard. Continue doing these steps until you have pattern paper cones all around your chipboard circle. I also hot glued some strands of raffia in between the paper cones for a festive fall touch. 

To decorate the center of the wreath I started by hot-gluing some thick burlap twine around the outside rim of my wood pattern paper with some hot glue. I then trimmed the "Fall Sweet Fall" sentiment from the 4x6 Journaling Cards paper. I added this to the center of the wreath with some foam tape. 

I decorated the corners of the Fall Sweet Fall card with some chipboard, stickers and enamel dots. I also wanted to add some texture to the wreath so I used the Market Leaves Die Set and a few different Solid papers to make some leaves to tuck behind the other elements. I folded them up a little on the ends for a dimensional effect. 

I had so much fun putting the wreath together! It is going to make a great addition to my fall decor. I hope I have inspired you to pick this beautiful collection up and make a few wreaths of your own!

Happy Crafting!

“Bring on the Cider!” 3D Paper Crafted Set

I love Fall! I love the colors, the smells, the tastes, and of course, the Fall crafting. My Favorite Fall is a fun, new collection from Echo Park Paper that celebrates everything Autumn. My project here today was inspired by a darling little ephemera piece in the My Favorite Fall Frames and Tags Ephemera pack, that reads, “Bring on the Apple Cider!” When the there's a chill in the air, there's nothing better than sipping on a warm mug of your favorite hot beverage. Coffee is nice and tea is yummy too, but I love making up big pots of hot apple cider.

This “Bring on the Cider! Set consists of three separate components; there's a mug, a brewing station, and a pot. The pot itself can be removed from the paper  “machine” just like a real automatic brewing station! I covered my pot in a sweet patterned print that is the “B” side of the My Favorite Fall “4X4 Journaling Cards” Patterned Paper. I brushed the edges in white pigment ink for a soft vintage feel. It reminds me of a Pyrex pot that my Aunt used in the seventies. Retro cool!

The brewing station is made with Carta Bella Designer Cardstock Natural White Linen. I made covering panels from various patterns in the My Favorite Fall Collection Kit. The hanging filter is made from prints in the My Favorite Fall 6X6 Paper Pad. The leaf spray embellishment cluster was made using die cuts leaves from the My Favorite Fall Autumn Branches Die Set. If you like dies, this is the set for you! I love all of the various foliage. I will be using this set year-round!

You can't drink your cider without a cute little mug! I scaled the mug down to be more in proportion to the pot. This mug is covered in paper from the My Favorite Fall 6X6 Paper Pad. I love that soft mint color. It's so pretty! I added some My Favorite Fall “Autumn Bike Ride” Washi Tape to embellish the rim of the mug. Isn't it darling?

I will be using my “Bring on the Cider” Set to decorate my dining room coffee bar this Autumn. I love how this project evolved and that it has all of the traditional Fall imagery mixed with fresh and modern elements too. That one piece of ephemera lead to this project that I'm proud to display in my home. With all of the fabulous colors and print in the My Favorite Fall Collection, what will inspire you this season?

Happy Crafting!

Gratitude Pockets Featuring "My Favorite Fall"

Here’s a project idea you can be thankful for. It’s a super easy way to capture those blessings, counted. And all it involves is folding a 6x6 piece of paper in half to create an envelope—a great time saver during the busy holiday season. Take a look!

 

Megan Hoeppner, here. For years now, I’ve created gratitude cards to be used on Thanksgiving. It’s a nice way to keep our focus on the reason for our celebrating. Because holiday dinners can be large, I try to find simple ideas that I can create in bulk. This is one of those ideas.

 

 

It’s as easy as folding a 6x6 piece of paper in half and securing the creased edge and the two shorter sides. I used a sewing machine to secure these edges together, but you could also use liquid adhesive or a strong double-sided tape. 

 

 

You can leave these little pockets as is and let the adorable paper do the talking or you can take things up a notch by dressing them up with stickers, washi tape and ephemera from your stash. 

 

For the inside of your pocket envelope, trim a 3x5 piece of paper and slide it in. It’s as easy as that. Again, you always have the option of decorating the inner piece if you want to give it more personality. 

 

Place a card on each table setting or add them to a basket and direct guests to write at least one thing they’re thankful for on the inside card. Once all guests have completed their cards, gather them together for a heartfelt keepsakes you can look back on year after year. 

 

The process for creating your outer pocket is nearly as simple as the the mini envelopes. Trim a 7x9 piece of paper, score lines at 4 1/4” and 4 3/4”. Fold along the scored lines and secure the tops of the sides together. I used a small stapler to keep the pocket closed. Just like that, there’s a spot for all of your gratitude pockets to live! 

You guessed it! You can leave the pocket/envelope alone or add to it. I dressed up the spine a bit but trimming and scoring a second, smaller piece of paper. I also cut a journaling card from the 4x4 Journaling Card paper to place in the center. For a bit more texture, I added darling puffy stickers to the wreath. 

 

I will likely add the year to the spine of this outer case and then include this album with my Thanksgiving decor so we can enjoy it each year we gather together. What are your holiday traditions for counting and capturing blessings? I’m always looking for new approaches and would be very grateful to read yours. :) 

 

In the spirit of gratitude, please know I’m thankful for you. The Echo Park community is so lovely and supportive. I love having these opportunities to connect with you. 

 

Happy crafting!
Megan Hoeppner

My Favorite Fall Card Trio

Hi everyone!

Dorymar here today sharing three cards made with the new Echo Park My Favorite Fall Collection.  

I love the show of color everywhere in Autumn and this collection is a mix of the fall wonderful colors with a pop of mint, leaves, pumpkins, and cute animals. 

For the front of this card I used a combination of two different patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad with the mint/orange coordinating paper.

To create the fall wreath in the top of this card I cut a circle using two different sizes with the Stitched Circle Die Set and then I cut several leaves with the Falling Leaves Die Set from the Solids Kit. For the tittle I used a piece from the ephemera, then I fussy cut the pumpkin with leaves from the 3x4 journaling cards and added some twine and orange blossoms to the final touch.

For the second card, I used a combination of gingham papers from the collection using the 6x6 paper pad, then I cut several leaves with the same die I used on the previous card.  I created a cute scene with a few elements from the Element Sticker Sheet and added the fall banner from the Ephemera Pack.

For the final touch I added some enamel dots with twine and orange blossoms.

One of the purposes of using the falling leaves die on all three cards is that you can see their versatility.  For this card I followed the pattern of the previous ones, I used a combination of papers from the 6x6 paper pad, combined them with leaves that I cut with the die and gave it the final touch with a combination of some pieces of the element sticker sheet and 3x4 cards.

I had so much fun mixing and matching the elements and papers. I know that all of you are going to have fun creating with this collection! Happy Crafting!

Dorymar

En Vogue Shopping Card

Hi there! It's Tya up on the blog today. I am here to share with you today a handmade card featuring the simply stunning "En Vogue" collection by Carta Bella. This is SUCH a beautiful collection and had me wishing I could hop on a plane to Paris and go shopping! It is very chic! Here is my card:

My focal point for this card is the "Live, Laugh, Shop" word die set. I cut the letters out with some Ebony Black  Felt cardstock. I then hand cut 2 tags from some pink and aqua papers from the 6x6 paper pad and then glued the letters on top of the pink tag.  To the tags, I added some white crochet thread knots. The card is also backed with the 6x6 version of the "Dress Forms" paper. I then added another layer of Ultra White Felt cardstock that I  cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle Nesting Die. I backed the white cardstock with more of the Black cardstock. In the bottom right corner, I added a flower pot sticker from the Element Stickers. I  also added a few light tan colored enamel dots to the card for some shine. I love how adding them just adds that finishing touch sometimes I am looking for.

 On the left side of the card, I added a purse, shoe, and dress form sticker. The dress form is popped up with some foam tape. 

 On the top right corner, I added this "Bonjour" sticker to add balance to the card.

This was such a fun collection to work with, and I have so many ideas in my head of more fun, feminine projects to make with this lovely collection. I hope I have I inspired you to pick up and play with this collection too! Have a great day!  Happy Crafting!

Sunday Hat Featuring En Vogue

Traveling to Paris for the latest in fashions? Me neither, but I did create a glamorous paper couture piece with Carta Bella's “En Vogue” line of papers and embellishments. 

Michelle here with you today to share my Sunday inspired Parisian Paper Hat that looks fresh from the runway.

My Sunday Hat was so much fun to make! It was sized to be worn and created with an unlikely set of SVG files and the “Journaling Cards” patterned paper. To make the hat's base, I used the top of a pumpkin box SVG file. With my Silhouette Cameo, I released the compound path and removed the “stem” hole of the base. Once the stem was removed, the hat resembled a couture piece of a Sunday-best wardrobe.

I embellished the Sunday Hat with a 3D paper flower and a pair of jaunty feathers. The feathers were created with the “Dress Shop” patterned paper and a wire shaft. Full disclosure: I love polka dots! Aren't they the cutest? The faux-tulle netting was created with a honeycomb background SVG file and a Lt. Pink/Black Coordinating Solid Paper from the Echo Park Paper “Wedding Day” Collection.

I had been wanting to make a Sunday Hat for quite some time. When I first saw the Carta Bella En Vogue line, I knew that this collection would be perfect for my Sunday Hat. I love it!

Fashionista Layout Featuring "En Vogue"

Hiya scrappy peeps! Suzanna here today to share with you a fashion layout, per se. I love the colors of this collection, En Vogue,  but fashion in not my thing. I don’t have fancy purses or shoes and I’m about as plain as it comes when it comes to clothing. I don’t know designer names unless it’s scrapbookers you are talking about! LOL! Nor is this young lady of mine much into “fashion” in the traditional sense of the word. But she’s more opinionated about what is cool and what is not that I am. So in my books, she’s a fashionista. Of sorts! Of her own sort. She definitely has a unique style of her own.

This photo are the “out takes” of an impromptu quick photo shoot that I did while we were walking back to the car after breakfast while visiting South Carolina. The golden morning light amongst the Southern charm of these warehouse buildings was perfect. And the dress that Mia was wearing was just the perfect compliment to the salmony, pink in this collection. I did get a SUPERB photo of her which I will use in another layout. Likely, with this collection. It might become the companion page, next door.

While the sky and the aqua in the title and scattered through out the page aren’t the same, they compliment one another enough to tie the page together and be the contrasting pop of color that draws your eye around the page. To create the title, I used one of the accompanying digital cut files from the Silhouette store and double cut it; once with black cardstock and again with the “High Heels” patterned paper.

Below the title header I created a bit of a grid structure using a mix of photos and the frames and tags. The frames are filled with various elements and stickers to do with fashion. A few of those elements are popped off the page for some visual interest.

I really wanted something lighter to fill this particular frame so as to keep the viewer focused on the model in her dress. The lighter patterned papers in this collection were still a tad busy so I opted to stamp with one of the new Designer Series stamps, Designer Diamond A2. It reminded me of the mesh that often drapes from the fancy hats that runway models wear.

M is for Mia, my daughter. The layout needed another subtle hint of aqua so I manually die cut an M using a piece of paper from the 6x6 pad and outlined it with a fine tip black pen. And that, my friends, wrapped things up for this layout! Fancy, don’t you think?!

Thanks for stopping in to today! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
