Hello friends! I just love using patriotic colors on my cards. So when I saw the newest collection from Echo Park called America, I had to purchase it. I decided not to use any stamp sets and focused on the amazing image and sentiment cut aparts included in the paper pad.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 29 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was just over 5 hours, not including nay of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Here is the cardstock I first pulled before starting on the cards. I always pull out way more than I ever use.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, 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 America 6×6 paper pad.

Thank you so much, Jennifer! I’m so excited about my new website! I’m still trying to figure out using the different platform though.
I’m loving your new “look”… it’s amazing… just like you! I’m in love with this paper and all of these cute cards!
Aw thank you! I’m really enjoying the new website. I’ve been wanting to upgrade it for a long time. I think the America collection was perfect for promoting the new site.
