Using Echo Park Paper Co’s New Day Collection

Hi scrappers! This week I did something I don’t normally do and used almost exclusively one collection by one manufacturer. Usually I mix and match all kinds of brands and products since I have building my stash for so many years, but this time, I used almost all items from Echo Park Paper Co’s New Day Collection. Disclaimer: I got these products over a year ago so there is a good chance they are no longer available.

I started with a sheet of Perfect Plaid paper as my background. I love the rainbow colors but thought they might overwhelm my photos. I cut down a piece of Perfectly Picked paper to give some contrast with the navy background. I had some scraps of other papers from the same collection and used a piece with a Sizzix Botanical Frame die cut to make a large hexagon. Since the paper is double sided, I was able to use both the skinny frame and solid shape that were created with one use of the diet and featured both the bee print and yellow polka dots. I finished with puffy stickers, chipboard pieces, adhesive brads, and tags all from the New Day collection.

This page was made using Becky Fleck sketch 367 over at A Cherry on Top Crafts. I didn’t have any large circle die cuts (my hand cut circles always come out super wonky) so I used hexagons. I used a honey comb die cut from a Bee Hive set to make the grouped hexagon detail in the upper right.

This page was also made for the March Title Challenge at A Cherry on Top Crafts where the ask this month was to use rainbow alphas. The 12 X 12 sticker sheet that came with the New Day paper pack had the word “Happy” in variegated colors. It was perfect for this challenge!

Lastly, this page was made for the Manufacturer with a Twist Challenge where I had to use all of one brand on a page and use a design element starting with the same letter as the name of the manufacturer. I used enamel dots since the brand was Echo Park Paper Co.

That’s all for this week. As a reminder, you can play along at Color my Heart Color Dare Challenges of which I am a proud design team member! See you soon!
