Echo Park | Creative Agenda Cards

Earlier this week, I was up on the Echo Park Blog with two cards featuring the Creative Agenda collection!  This is one of my new favorites!  I love all of the fun colors and the awesome embellishments that go along with the collection!  This collection is perfect for creating everyday cards for the special people in your life.  And you can add an extra wow factor to your cards, by using the coordinating Designer Dies!


I used the cute stamp handle Designer Die from the Sweet Memories Die/Stamp Set on my first card.  I cut the die four times on different patterned papers and then arranged them in a grid on my card base.  I added a sentiment sticker under each of the stamp handles and finished my card by stamping the “Noted” sentiment, and adding stickers from the Element Stickers Sheet for my card sentiment.


On my second card, I repeated a similar technique using the heart shape from the Sweet Memories Die/Stamp Set.  I layered five hearts over my card base, and added the “Is It Friday Yet?” talk bubble, as the sentiment for my card.  Then I used the days of the week stickers from the Alpha Stickers Sheet, to embellish each of the heart shapes.


I love to use the Designer Dies on my projects, because you can create so many different looks each time you use them.  And you can pair them with the coordinating stamps to create even more fun looks!

Check out the Products page on the Echo Park Blog to see all of the fun Designer Dies and Stamps, that coordinate with the Echo Park collections!

Echo Park | This Makes Me Happy

Today, I have a new layout to share that was up on the Echo Park Blog yesterday!  I love seeing the fun new collections that Echo Park puts out throughout the year.  The Fine and Dandy collection really caught my eye, because of the bright, fun colors!  There are also some fine Designer Dies and Designer Stamp sets with this collection.  Today, I am sharing a layout and tutorial using the Flower #1 Designer Die Set.


I started out by cutting 5 of the flowers out of vellum with my manual die cut machine.


Next I placed the vellum flowers in a polka dot embossing plate and embossed each of the vellum flower pieces.


After the vellum flowers are embossed, place your die on the backside of the Smoky/Pink paper and outline the inner and outer edges with a pencil.


Once the die has been traced, cut out the center of the flower.  Add some adhesive around the backside of the flower and adhere the vellum flower to the backside.


Then you can use a circle punch to punch 5 circles from the Green polka dot patterned paper, in the 6x6 paper pad and add a pop dot underneath to give some dimension to your flowers!



 

Look for fun, new ways to use the Designer Dies on your next project!  What about mixing them with the Designer Stamp sets, to create awesome looks for your projects!
