Echo Park Once Upon a Time Princess Card

Hello everyone - it's Tya and I am up on the blog today to share with you a sweet handmade card featuring the lovely Once Upon a Time Princess collection.

This collection is so fun and girly - full of crowns and wands and castles. I am planning on giving this to my sweet little niece who is totally all girl and will love it! I used pattern papers from the 6x6 Paper Pad on my card and then had lots of fun embellishing the card. Here are some close ups of the card:


The focal point of the card is one of the new Mini Paper Fans. I added the light pink fan and layered a chipboard crown from the Chipboard Accents on top for some added dimension. I also added some scallop borders on my card base using this Silhouette digital cutting file: Scallop Border Big

I used a purple frame from the Ephemera kit and then layered the Happily Ever After chipboard banner to the top. Underneath the sentiment banner I bunched up a bit of thin gold floss for some shine. I loved the pops of gold foil in this collection! I added a gold foil chipboard heart to the left side of the card.

I also added a star wand sticker from the Element Sticker Sheet to the right side of the banner.

Next I added a tall purple tower sticker from the Element Sticker Sheet to the left of the paper fan with some foam tape for dimension. Isn't it so fun? If you look close you can see a long, blonde braid trailing down the tower. Love it!

 To finish off the card I added a few gold ink splatters and a pink chipboard crown banner piece to the upper right corner.

This card was so fun to make. I love using all sorts of dimension on my cards and with all the fun embellishments that were designed for this line - I made a card that I am so proud to give away! Hopefully I have inspired you to make one of these for your special little princesses! Happy Crafting!

Echo Park Mother's Day Cactus Gift Set

Hello Echo Park Fans! It's Tya and I am up on the blog today sharing with you a fun Mother's Day gift set that was entirely inspired by all the adorable cactus elements in the Just Be You collection! I LOVED this collection so much! From the color palate to all the amazing icons - I couldn't wait to design this gift set using some of my favorite pieces.

Now if your mom is anything like me and born without a green thumb - then this little gift set will be just what she needs. These 3D cactus and plants that I made need absolutely no watering! :) Here are a few close ups of the plants. I used several Silhouette cut files to make the plants. The exact ones I used I will link in the supply list below. The plants were cut from cardstock and some of the Solid Cardstock sheets that go with this collection.

I used a yellow tin bucket from my local craft store to hold the plants. I added some Styrofoam pieces to the inside and then add the paper plants into the Styrofoam using skewers to hold them. I then added some mint paper shreds to fill the planter and cover the foam up. I hot glued the flowers to the tops of the cactus.

I also made a card to go with the planter set. Here are some close ups of the card:

Hopefully I have inspired you to try you hand at making some 3 dimensional plants - they really pack a lot of punch and are super low maintenance to take care of. Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy Mother's Day!

Hey Everyone! Thanks for stopping by today! So I am venturing in to making process videos - this is my first one, so be gentle :) I had a lot of fun making it and hope to make more when I get a chance. I am loving my design team work and so I thought it would be fun to do some process videos every once in awhile.

Here are the still shots of the card - I used the adorable new Summer Dreams collection from Echo Park to make my card.

I loved making the background of this card - I used a piece of watercolor paper and then added a few shades of pink watercolors to make a subltle, soft background. I then added some teal spray ink splatters for some fun too.
