Echo Park Paper

Happy Easter Mini Album

Hello Friends, It’s Dorymar today with a subtle Easter Mini Album.  The new “I Love Easter” collection from Echo Park is full of fabulous patterned papers and the cutest embellishments!  I took all these papers, along with the I Love Spring coordinating solids paper pack and made this beautiful 6x8 scrapbook album.

This beautiful album measures 6x8 and has a total of 7 pages in two different sizes, 4 measuring 6x8 and 3 measuring 4x6. All made in chipboard. It has pages with pockets and flaps. 

For the cover, I used a 3 x 3 card, stickers and die cuts.  I selected all the elements following the theme of my project. I love adding ribbons to give it a chic touch!

The journaling cards have beautiful rabbits that I fussy cut with my scissors to use as part of the decoration. They are the cutest rabbits I've ever seen! 

In the small page on the right you can see that I added the "Easter" word, this word was cut using the pink paper of the solid papers and the Happy Easter Egg Die Set.  Around the photo mat, I decorated it with several embellishments of the collection, all glued with foam tape to add dimension and layers.

The album follows a pattern of a large and small page but in all, you will find different designs, pockets, flaps and above all a lot of space for memorabilia! It is just fantastic!

To create this flap, I used a letter envelope and covered it with patterned paper, then I fussy cut the “funny bunny” phrase from one of the 4x6 journaling cards.

On this page, I created a pocket in the center of the page where I can host several of the beautiful cards of the collection, to add photos and journaling.

On this page I incorporated several chipboard stickers from the I Love Spring collection because both collections match perfectly. The elements of these collections are so perfect for the occasion.

This page has a flap that opens to the side and at the top it has a pocket. This gives you much more space for what you want to add.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you love this collection as much as I do. It is the perfect one to document your 2020 Easter pictures.

Happy Crafting!

Yeti To Party Birthday Mini Album

It's our final day of our Birthday Celebration week!  Have you enjoyed the party?  I hope you've also visited our Instagram and Facebook pages for fun birthday games and prizes!!

Lydia is joining us today with a fabulous celebration album - and don't forget to click on the link at the end to get your FREE project sheet for this fun album!

Hello there again friends; this is Lydia Cost again, and today I’m sharing with you a little peek inside my process and finished details of a caterpillar album.  This little cutie is made with the amazing papers and stickers in the It’s Your Birthday Boy collection.

This is only the second time I’ve created one of these caterpillar albums in over ten years.  I remember making one for the first time when I was in middle school with lots of little photos of my younger brother.  As you can tell I’ve been a papercrafter my entire life.

For this one I chose to document my little’s first birthday, and the primary color scheme lent itself perfectly for the theme.  That’s what I love most about the It’s Your Birthday collection; it matches perfectly to any birthday color scheme you might have! 

For the outer part of my album, I chose to make my covers out of the amazing Party Animals paper.  I love all the fun animal illustrations on this paper, and I just knew it would make the perfect album cover.  A little recycling secret to making the perfect album cover for all your albums is dryer sheets!  I save up my used dryer sheets and them use a few of them to stuff the inside of my covers for extra dimension and character.  It makes even your homemade albums look professional.

There’s a full PDF tutorial here for all the instructions of putting together your own caterpillar album.  After I got mine all constructed and stitched together, I got to move on to the fun part of embellishing and adding photos.

A great tip for choosing photos for caterpillar albums is to work with 5x7 photos or larger, with the subjects in the center of the frame.  This allows for the photos to be easily trimmed into diamond and triangular shapes.  I chose 6 photos to fill my album, but you can always add more.  You can even choose to embellish the backside of the album with even more photos and goodies; for this particular album I didn’t, but it’s a great way to fit a lot into a little album.

I think what I love so much about this album is that it expands so much, and it only takes up a little bit of space when it’s all folded back up.  Everyone that’s ever peaked inside one of these has always been so enthralled with how the pages are folded and put together into a little 4x4 album.

I really hope you loved taking a peek inside my caterpillar album, and I hope you’re inspire to create your very own.  Make sure to check out the full tutorial in the Echo Park Project Downloads section!

It doesn't matter how old you are, when it comes to birthdays, it's all about the cake and the presents. I'm Michelle Zerull and I'd like to share a project that combines the cake AND the presents with the Echo Park Paper It's Your Birthday Boy Collection.

 

Each of my sweet cakes, is actually a box that can hold smalls gifts and treats. They are perfect for birthday party goodie bags!

There are so many cute animal elements on the It's Your Birthday Boy Sticker Element Sheet, that it's hard to choose just one. The excited little pup can’t wait for his cake as he frolics on a tag cut from the It's Your Birthday Boy 6X6 Paper Pad. The pad includes patterns that are scaled nicely for the tag and candle elements.

It's party time! I love the friendly sharks that are in the It's Your Birthday Boy Collection. He looks ready to party with a sentiment a present, which also came from the It's Your Birthday Boy Element Sticker Sheet. There are loads of fun sticker elements and I love that there are sentiments included too.

There's a second shark included as well. This big guy is ready to party as he swims in a sea of paper frosting made from the Dog Party Patterned Paper. Yum!

It's a birthday wish come true! My paper cake confections were fun to make with the It's Your Birthday Boy Collection from Echo Park Paper. What sweet birthday projects will you be making?

Party Animal Birthday Mini Album

We are so excited to be celebrating our 10th Birthday!! We have a week full of fun birthday projects, some great giveaways, and (as always) oodles of inspiration!  We hope you celebrate with us here, on facebook and on instagram - you won't want to miss a thing!!

Hi friends, It’s Dorymar here today sharing with you a party animal mini album.  To create this fun piece, I used the new It’s my Birthday-Boy collection from Echo Park.  This collection has tons of beautiful birthday animals and fun sentiments in every piece of the ephemera packs.

I started the project, cutting 6 pieces in cardstocks with the following measures; for the cover and back cover a piece of 6.5 x 7. For the inside pages two pieces of 6x5 and 2 pieces of 7 x 5.5.  The collection has many different patterns and I wanted to use all.  For the cover, I used three different patterns and decorate it creating a fun birthday scene with the gorgeous cardstock stickers and fun die cuts from the ephemera pack.

The inside pages have different sizes, this brings to the album more fun.  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 the cutest party animals! The page fronts have tons of space for photos and journaling along with a flip feature for even more memories.

Here are some close-ups, so you can appreciate this beautiful project!

Have you ever seen an adorable shark like this? 

On this page I incorporated a small pocket that holds 4 beautiful journaling cards, this add more space to the album.

I placed a binding wire to hold the 6 cardstock pages, this allows better movement and provides a greater dimension when I add the pictures.

It was such a joy to layer all the papers together with the fabulous stickers and die cuts to create this adorable project.  I hope inspired you to use this colorful and fun collection to create your own one.

Happy scrapping!

I Love Spring Tag Album

Hello again; It’s Lydia Cost today.  I’m back again today to share a tag album that I created using the amazing I Love Spring collection!  As I was working with it, I was longing for the sunshine that all the photos in this little album promise.  I can’t wait for spring to actually be here!

I loved all the little tag illustrations in this collection, so I thought a little 3x4 tag flip album was the perfect thing to create with this collection.  There were so many tags on the papers that it was such a breeze to create my mini album with all kinds of pretty bits.

I chose to use the beautiful butterfly paper for my cover.  I fell absolutely in love with this paper, and I’m so glad I have another sheet to play with on another project.  It’s so darn pretty. 

I always like to decorate my albums with a little bit of fabric or ribbon.  I really do think that textiles bring character and dimension to all papercrafting projects, so I certainly wasn’t going to leave it out here.  I chose to bring out all the colors on my cover paper by adding various colors of ribbon.  Bright pinks, oranges, mints, and yellows helped make my album pop even more.

I also spray painted my metal ring to match.  I don’t do this very often, but it really makes for a cohesive look when you have a matching ring for your project.  I chose a pretty pink color to match the color scheme.

Next I started to fill up my little mini album with photos, journaling, and all kinds of embellishments.  I added little pockets with brad fasteners, tassels, vellum, and shaker pockets to make this little album extra special.

I did my best to layer up stickers on top of papers to add even more character and dimension.  I really love adding chunky dimension into all my mini albums, because I personally love the way they turn out.

Thanks as always for taking a peek at my project.  I can’t wait to see what you guys create with the I Love Spring collection; You’re always inspiring me!

Spring Rain Boot

I love Spring! It's wonderful to trade your snow boots for your rain boots, and that's what I've done here. My name is Michelle Zerull and I'd like to share my Spring Rain Boot project made with the I Love Spring Collection by Echo Park Paper.

I made this rain boot using my digital cutting machine and the I Love Spring “Fresh Cut Flowers” Patterned Paper. I love the pretty color of this gorgeous paper. I embellished the boot with a tag from the I Love Spring Frames and Tags Ephemera, and I made the butterfly embellishment with a piece of wire and a butterfly cut from the I Love Spring “Blissful Butterflies” Patterned Paper. I love those fanciful butterflies!

What do you do with a rain boot? You fill it with flowers! These whimsical tulips were made using the I Love Spring Collection Kit as well as the I Love Spring 6X6 Paper Pad. It was a great way to add a variety of colors and patterns.

 

I loved making this project, and it looks so bright and cheery on my kitchen table. It's a great reminder that Spring is here and the dark days are behind us. I Love Spring!

Spring Wagon

Hey everyone, Michelle Gallant here today sharing a new project with the I Love Spring collection. 

 

I don't know about all of you but when I think of spring the first thing that comes to mind is flowers, so I knew I wanted to make my project based on that.  I found this cute cut file in the silhouette store and it was just what I had in mind.

 

 

One of my favorite things about this collection was the yellow striped paper.  It turned out so cute for the wagon and the little bees on the backside were such a cute touch!

 

 

There are a lot of pretty colors and patterns in this collection.  Just perfect for flowers!

Baby Boy Layout

Hello friends! It’s Dorymar on the blog today to share a layout I created with the new cutest Baby Boy Collection from Echo Park! 

For this Layout, I wanted to use so many beautiful embellishments from this collection, so I took a few of my favorites.  Then I selected my favorites patterned papers and cut them in assorted sizes. This is a great way to use many patterns and colors.

I used the background of the stars to start my layout and then I layered a few pieces of different patterned paper and adhere it with 3d foam dots to add layers. Then I added some stickers and bits and pieces to create clusters around the picture to highlight it.

This collection has a ton of beautiful embellishments, but the most I liked were the new adhesive brads! They are gorgeous!

I hope you enjoy creating with this cutest Baby Boy Collection. It’s the perfect collection to create an amazing project for your lovely baby boy!
