Fall Cards Using Echo Park and Stampin Up Products

Hello Crafty Friends.  I have 2 cards to share today.  Both cards I used Echo Park Collection kits for the focal images and scrapbook paper to design my card.  I order a lot of their collection kits for my mini scrapbook albums so I do end up with a lot of small scrapbook pieces.  I love their scrapbook papers because they are quite thick and have a bit of texture to them.  They make for great mini scrapbook albums where you can use both sides of the paper for the inner pages.  The collection kits also come with coordinating stickers and ephemera.  

I embossed the base card stock and rubbed a bit of ink over it to create a pretty textured background.  It works fabulously with white card stock because you can color the background any color you want.  I use Stampin Up ink pads and use a dauber to rub the ink on the embossed part of the card stock.  

I used a  seam binding that I dyed my self using Stampin Up re-inker so the color coordinates with my back ground color and I combined the seam binding with a grosgrain ribbon.

With this card, the teal back ground was colored using alcohol ink on to glossy card stock then I embossed it to give it a little texture.  I also embossed the base card stock and like my other card rubbed Stampin Up ink using a dauber.

I stamped the Autumn leaves using a Stampin Up stamp set.  It's an older retired stamp set that I've had for a while and this is actually the first time using it.  I just stamped a variety of colors on to the image.  I also dyed the seam binding using a Stampin Up re-inker.  I can't remember which color ink I used to dye it.  

Looks like my photos are uploading to my Google drive faster now.   It uploaded within a day.  I had deleted a few older photos from the drive.  I think it delayed uploading to the drive because I may have ran out of storage space.  Well thank you for stopping by my blog.  Hope you are having a wonderful week so far.  Until next time 💓
