Hello there! It’s
Mendi here and today I have a set of cards to share that I created using Lori’s super cute new
Fine and Dandy collection by Echo Park.
This collection has a darling line of stamps and dies to compliment the papers and I couldn’t resist playing with them for today’s share. All my cards today were also created using only the 6×6 pad.
For my first card I cut my cupcake wrapper from the solid blue and then hand cut a second one from that same blue to line the back side. To make it stand out against the die-cut version, I took my chalk ink and swiped it across it. I had some leftover flower centers so I decided to use them as sprinkles–With a little glossy accents they became homemade enamel dots!
For my next card I used on of Lori’s
8.5×11 Backgrounds as my card mat. I stamped the sentiment and 4 butterflies using the
Happy Little Moments Stamps and then stamped them a second time onto scratch paper. I fussy cut the ones on scratch paper and layered them over the others with foam tape. I love the subtle detail that adds in person. To tie my colors together, I layered coordinating strips of patterned paper from the collection.
Up next I mixed both the flower die sets for a simple border on a colorful notecard.
My last card is my personal favorite. I used the
Jar Die, cutting the lid from silver metallic cardstock and hand cut a “fabric” cover from gingham paper. I finished it off with a little baker’s twine and some glossy accents on the heart. For my card I cut one of Lori’s A2 card bases on my Silhouette which just happened to be a perfect match for the curved sentiment stamp from that same stamp set.
To complete my cards I used the following SVG cutting files from
Lori’s Shop:
I also used the following new Fine & Dandy products by Echo Park:
Isn’t this an irresistible collection Lori has designed?! I had so much fun and I hope I’ve inspired you to pull out some paper and play along this summer. 🙂
