SEPTEMBER MAGAZINE CHALLENGE! ECHO PARK CONTEST!

We love Echo Park and the fun collections they are constantly creating. We would like to invite you to use any of their collections in this challenge. Create something with your favorite Echo Park Paper or stickers and your favorite cartridge. Contest Rules: Use any Echo Park Collection and at least 4 Cricut Cuts from your favorite cartridge in your design.



For this challenge, I made Halloween treat boxes using the matchbox cut from Tag, Bags, Boxes and More. All images cuts are from Happy Hauntings. Echo Park: Paper from Victoria Gardens and For the Record, Element Stickers from For the Record, and Apothecary Labels. The popcorn bags were too large for the box, so I tied it to the box with a ribbon. I used wobbles to secure the cut to the box.

For this challenge, I used Art Philosophy for the present, card base and top with pattern paper and the banner. The present was cut with blue shimmer paper and velum. I stamped the velum and adhered it to the blue base. Pop dots were used to give the present dimension behind the window.
