Layout by Mendi

April 15, 2013April 14, 2013

First of all, I must mention, Lori and I were SO overwhelmed by all the applications for our Creative Team. We are working on it, I PROMISE, but not quite there yet. When that much talent invades your inbox, you need some extra time. We haven’t forgotten you and will have an answer soon.

Today on the blog we have Mendi sharing her talents with us. (Lisa)

Mendi says… Today I have another 2-page 8×8 layout that I made for my Mother-in-law’s mini album to share. I was so happy to discover that Echo Park’s “About A Boy” papers designed by Lori were a perfect match for my photos!

To create my title I turned to Lori’s LW Tall Font and I love that it’s tall and skinny nature fit the space perfectly. For my journaling box I combined her 12×12 Background Circle 3 with the heart from the Valentines set. To finish my project off I repurposed her reindeer shape for my little fawn cut from the wood grain patterned paper. I must admit it makes me giddy when I’m able to re-use Christmas and Valentine’s Day shapes on a non-holiday layout. 🙂

Butterfly Kisses by Corri

April 11, 2013April 11, 2013

Today we are bringing you an adorable project by Corri…

I love the new bracket shaped card that Lori just added to the shop.

It has such an elegant feel and this lace damask paper from the Echo Park- Sweet Girl Collection is a perfect match. I cut a scallop circle and flag label from this set and two butterflies. I embossed the pink one with my Cuttlebug D’vine Swirls folder and added some clear glitter to the turquoise one. Applying glue to the center of the butterfly only, allow the wings to be lifted for added dimension.

The bracket flap treat box compliments the card perfectly and makes this into an adorable gift set.

I added some ribbon, a rosette, and a die cut flower sticker from the Sweet Girl Collection.

Flip Swing Cards by Christine

April 9, 2013April 8, 2013

These cards are one of my favorite products that Lori has created and Christine has done such a great job personalizing them. LOVE these Christine! lisa

Lots of oohs, and aahs occur when I showed these cards to friends. The Swing Flip cards are just adorable and oh, so much fun.

Just pull the sides and the card opens to reveal the inside and the backside of the front panel. Lori has created these great card files in many different panel shapes. Everything from scalloped circles to squares to stars.

Here is another look at the card from a different angle. I used papers and pretty stickers from the brand new collection Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park. The sentiment Happy Birthday came from another card file by Lori called, Happy Birthday card set.

I also made a fun flip card for a boy using the brand new paper collection, All About A Boy, by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park. This particular flip card file also includes the panel shapes that I used to cut the patterned paper from.

Sorry that the card looks a little warped. These kinds of cards are little hard to keep standing for photographs. This photograph shows what the inside of the boy card looks like when pulled apart.

I added a little washi tape on the panels. Yes, new washi tape from Echo Park!! Love it!! The next photograph shows the back of the card. I used some of the Echo Park matching cardstock paper to create the card base. It is a double sided paper with orange on one side and red on the other.
