"Making a Splash Die Cut Water Pail"

Summer is just about over, but you can still celebrate with a water party and cute party favors. For this project, I used THIS cut file by Lori Whitlock and the "Under the Sea" papers from Echo Park Paper to create a Water/Sand Pail. Lori's 3d Dies and the Silhouette machine make quick work of a project like this. The entire project took 15 minutes from start to finish, and much of that was me deciding how to decorate the front of the pail.

Here's a closer look at this project:

Stamped "Boo" Halloween Card

Working for Echo Park Paper means that I often get to see products BEFORE they are released to the public. The stamp set featured on this card was one product that I was completely over the moon about. The charming Halloween icons were just screaming for a cool card background so I had to have it. Here is the card I created. Keep reading to learn more about the stamp set and the dies featured on this card!

This is the stamp set I "HAD" to have. It's called "Halloween Costomes Stamp" and you can find it in the supply list below. Click the shop icon you typically shop from to purchase the set.

To create this project, I simply stamped the icons from the set in a pattern on white cardstock with black stamping ink. I didn't color the images at all. Instead I wanted this card to have a modern flair. I added color with the gold die cut circle and gold enamel dots. I brought in some texture with black and white die cut leaves and one phrase sticker (again, see all products below).

Here's a few more photos of the card. Be sure to pin your favorites for inspiration later!
