Echo Park Mermaid Dreams – 38 cards from one 6×6 paper pad

Hello friends! I recently posted a little poll on Instagram asking if I should use an Echo Park or a Carta Bella paper pad next. Even without revealing the collection, over 80% of the votes went to Echo Park. So, the Mermaid Dreams has been turned into a set of cards.

Along with the paper pad, I included a lovely selection of specialty cardstock from Tonic Studios since mermaid cards require a little extra sparkle. I also selected several Love From Lizi Peel Off sticker sheets to coordinate with the collection.

I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 38 cards.

This set of cards took me a bit longer than usual, so the video is about an hour long. It is sped up 7 times. The real time recording was just under 7 hours. Not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.

In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 8 sheets of  8 1/2″ x 11″ and 6 sheets of  12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock. I also used 5 sheets of specialty cardstock.

Cardstock colors – 

Bazzill – Orange

Coredinations – Mediterranean

Darice – Sea Foam

Bazzill – Berry Pretty

Bazzill – Velvet

Coredinations – Fuchsia Fizz

Recollections – Black

Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home and the newer Mojo Monday sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Echo Park’s Mermaid Dreams 6×6 paper pad.
