Hello friends! Who of us does not have a mountain of patterned paper just waiting to be used? In an effort to bust through my over abundant stash of papers (and stop spending $$), I am determined to use what I have.
I've been sitting on this marvelous pack of patterned paper from Echo Park for far too long. It was time to put it to use. I pulled out cardstocks in coordinating colors and star dies to get me started.
Along the card making journey, I added other dies like tags, banners and circle dies, as well as gems from my stash.
This is a picture heavy post, so I'll let the photo's take over from here.
Thanks for sticking with me. I'm happy to say that most of this paper pack has been used except for a few leftover sheets which I'll be sure to use in future makes. I hope I've inspired you today to use what you have and bust your stash.
I'll be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:
A Cut Above ~ Let's Start Off With A Bang!
Color Throwdown ~ Kraft, Red & Blue
The Paper Players ~ using the top row, Stars, Bling & Blue
Be safe and happy this 4th of July!
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm back again! I love all of these cards, but especially the one you shared at A Cut Above! The vintage design with the 1776 is my favorite. Thanks so much for sharing at A Cut Above's debut challenge, "Let's Start Off With A Bang!"

Hello, Birgit! This mega-inspiration is right up my alley. You know I love it! I can't believe you used the whole pad except for a few scraps. It would take me years. I've enjoyed scrolling through all your posts for the month I've missed. I can't keep up, but it's a lovely diversion for the moment. Sending hugs and thanks for your support.
