Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a fun little paper pieced creation. I recently caved a bit on my no designer paper buying freeze and decided to sign up for Club EP (I'm not an affiliate, just really loving my subscription!). If there's any paper line I consistently love, it's Echo Park and Carta Bella. So when I saw they had a club option every other month for a new line, complete with extra die cuts and embellishments with both 6x6 and 12x12 papers (which I can use for slimline cards), I was sold.
The patterned paper I used today is from the September kit, which was their Hello Autumn collection. I immediately knew I wanted to use the patterns to paper piece the fun presents in All Wrapped Up for a fun Autumn birthday card.
After paper piecing and fussy cutting the gifts, I decided I wanted to tie in some stars, like some of the packages had. So I pulled out some plain cardstock and the falling stars layering stencil and added them in cracked pistachio. I then layered different designer prints from the collection for my background and added the Happy Birthday sentiment as a banner. A couple of the enamel dots included with the kit finished things off.

so very sweet!!
Oh, I love EP! I was doing the whole no more patterned paper thing, too. BUT I went over to check out their kits since you liked yours so much. I ended up ordering just the November kit since I love their Christmas designs for making quick and easy cards. Thanks a lot! LOL
