Kendra's Card Challenge meets Echo Park Baby Girl papers

 I made these cards for the current challenge at Kendra's Card Challenge FB group. I'm low on baby cards so I decided to use baby themed paper and make some more. I used a paper pack called Baby Girl from Echo Park.

For some cards I used this cute Penny Black hedgehog stamp - I quickly colored it with alcohol markers

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Something New (baby)

on 4 cards I used these baby themed stamps from Craft's Meow

Everybody Art - New (new baby)

and on some just used the cut aparts from the paper pad

Easter Cards with Echo Park

 Since it's Easter weekend I guess it's high time to show you some of the Easter cards I made with Echo Park My Favorite Easter paper pack and ephemera. These were all quite simple - no stamping just using my Echo park goodies. Embellished them with enamel dots, Love from Lizzie peel of strips and metalic butterflies from SU

Echo Park - WInter Magic - 25 cards from a pack

I started to make Christmas cards and I'm planning to give out a bunch as gifts so I needed to speed up the process so I came back to using up the whole paper pack.

Started with 6x6 Echo Park pad called Winter Magic - everything is blue, white and I added silver accents here and there.

These are probably my favorites - using Merries Moments stamp set and dies from Stampin Up, so I made 4 of them with just slight variations

Dragonfly Dreams - Winter/Christmas

Stamping Sensation - Christmas

Aud Sentiment - Christmas + Sentiment

More cards using various stamps and dies

Allsorts - Christmas

and some featuring the cute patterned paper from the pad

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas

Krafty Chicks - Christmas

and several cards using the cut aparts from the pad

Echo Park - Lumberjack Christmas - 31 cards from 6x6 paper pad

It's time for Christmas cards!!! This year I started with 6x6 paper pad from Echo Park called Lumberjack Christmas. I like that it's not totally traditional and lends itself to masculine cards as well as feminine. I managed to make 31 cards from the pad using a variety of sketches. From some designs I made 2 of the same, or just slightly changed something. This pad  has several sheets of cut apparts so I used a bunch of those and I also got a 12x12 sheet of matching stickers.

Echo Park - Plant Lady - 22 cards

It's World Card Making Day and what else is to do on a day like this other than make cards, right?

No, I didn't make all these cards today, but I finished using up this 6x6 paper pad  - it's called Plant Lady and it's from Echo Park.

It had a couple of cut apart sheets with fun sayings and I also got a matching ephemera pack, so I decided to use only those and NO stamps. It was a bit of a challenge, but I managed :)

Here is a picture of all 22 cards:

 I just got a 6x6 paper pad from Echo Park called Plant Lady and decided to use it all up. For the first 2 cards I used the current sketch from Sunday Stamps

for the focal points I used pieced from Plant Lady ephemera pack, rest is just cardstock, ribbon and sequins from my stash.
