I Love Summer Card and Pineapple Box - Echo Park Paper

Hello friends! Tya here today sharing a fun gift set featuring the adorable I Love Summer collection! And boy do I LOVE Summer! It's such a fun and relaxing time and we do lots of swimming and traveling and taking full advantage of those carefree lazy days! I fell in love with all the fun colors of this collection and knew I wanted to make something pineapple themed so I came up with this gift box and handmade card set.

To create the card I started with a base of Kraft cardstock and then added a few different pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad. I used a few ephemera pieces, stickers and chipboard pieces to decorate the card front. I finished the card off with a few enamel dots and some white crochet thread.

To create the pineapple box, I used a cut file from the Silhouette Shop (Shape # 258284- Pineapple Box by Lori Whitlock) cut from a 12x12 piece of the Hello Summer yellow dot paper. The green pineapple leaves are cut from the green side of the Swimsuits paper. This would be a really fun box to add a little tropical treat too. You could even fit a cupcake in there as well.

To make the decor on the front of the I used some Chipboard, stickers, and Ephemera. I also added some enamel dots to the flower centers and tied some white crochet thread to the tag. When I create gift sets like this, I like to keep the embellishments the same in all the projects. It just ties the projects together to make them more cohesive.

I really had so much fun creating this project and I hope I have inspired you to pick up this sweet Summer themed collection and make a few projects like this one! I know whoever gets this will love the bright, summery colors and icons! Happy Crafting!

Animal Safari Card - Echo Park Paper

Hey there Echo Park fans! It's Tya up on the blog today. As an avid animal lover, I fell head over heels in love with the fun Animal Safari collection! Anytime we travel I love to visit zoos or aquariums or anything that has to do with animals. I may have even planned a few family vacations around animals lol! Anyway- I am sharing a card I made featuring the Animal Safari collection today.

To make this card I used a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch piece of white cardstock as my base. The blue, zebra and yellow pattern papers are from the 6x6 paper pad. I love using the smaller scale of the 6x6 paper pads for card making!

 I decided to do a little watercolor painting on this card. I cut a piece of watercolor paper to 3 1/2 x 5 inches. I ripped the edges of the paper for some added texture. I added some yellow, orange and tan paint and splatters to the watercolor paper.  I really liked the pop of color it added to the card.

 To decorate the card, I added the Zooventure label sticker to the card with foam tape. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out 3 leaf shapes (found here) out of some Green Coordinating Solid paper. I glued them back behind the label sticker. I also added a small butterfly and "happy" word sticker from the Element Sticker sheet.

 I loved this beautiful macaw bird that I fussy cut from the Birds of Paradise paper. I added the bird to the top right of the sticker label. I also added a few loops of brown twine behind the label sticker as well for some texture.

This card was so much fun to make and had me wanting to take another animal-themed adventure soon. I hope I have inspired you to make a few cards with this stunning collection. It has so many possibilities! Happy Crafting!
