 Fall cards are among my favorite cards to create. I decided to make a bunch of leaves with Carta Bella Ultra White Felt cardstock,  Imagine Crafts Fireworks Inks (Potters Clay, Cantaloupe, and Bamboo Leaves).

I started by smooshing ink onto scraps of cardstock using all three different colors. I made sure to let the cardstock scraps dry completely so that the leaf dies didn't tear the cardstock.

I used all three leaf dies from the Autumn Day collection. I cut lots of leaves and adhered them to a white cardstock base starting in the top left corner and trailing to the bottom right corner.

After adhering the leaves I splattered a few drops of ink all over the front of the card. In retrospect, I should have done this before I stamped my sentiment. It turned out well even though I stamped the sentiment after the ink splattering.

I love how this card turned out, I can't wait to make more of these cards with the leaves I have left over. Now, it's time to hop on over to Monica Edwards.  I know she has something fabulous in store for you.

Echo Park's Craft & Create Summer FREE Idea Book

Echo Park's Craft & Create Summer Free Idea Book is live. You'll find my layout on the cover of this issue. It's the first time I've ever had a project on the cover of a magazine! I'm a little excited. Here's a little sneak peek of the layout I have on the cover.

Free Spring Idea Book

Echo Park Paper recently released their Spring Idea Book. This book has the most adorable projects in it. Jen Gallacher has some amazing layouts and Holly from Ribbons and Glue has the most adorable baby gift idea. I have a couple of fun projects in this issue too.

This set of cards is the first project I have in the Spring Idea Book. I created these cards with my Silhouette Cameo and the Sunny Days Ahead collection.

One of my favorite things about the Echo Park Idea Books (other than the fact that they are FREE) is the photography. The photos are beautiful!
The second project I have in the Spring Idea book is a small paper mache box. I had so much fun decorating this box with flowers from the Spring Flower Die Set and little bit of  glossy accents. By adding glossy accents the flowers have a little bit of dimension and shine. By adding dimensional adhesive I added some dimension and texture to the gift box.  I also added some stitching with my sewing machine . I added the stitching before I attached the patterned paper pieces on the paper mache box.

Now, hop over to see the rest of the Echo Park Idea Book. Thanks for stopping by today!
