Do you play favorites? I do! Every crafter has a stash of favorites waiting for that perfect project. This week we're mixing them up and creating some amazing projects. I'm Michelle Zerull and I have made an Autumn Cottage Gift Set with some of my favorite Carta Bella collections.
I am an Echo Park and Carta Bella fan for many reasons, but one in particular fascinated me. I fell in love with their colors...so many wonderful, rich colors! Then I discovered that their wonderful colors worked beautifully with their other wonderful colors. So if I had a few pieces left over from a Collection Kit, I could use it with another Collection Kit. The porch pumpkins from the Fall Market Chipboard Accents coordinate beautifully with the Sentiment sticker from the Hello Autumn Sticker Book. It still amazes me!
This project uses elements from last year's Fall Market Carta Bella collection as well as this year's Hello Autumn collection. I even utilized By the Sea, which was a Spring collection, for the face of the Autumn Cottage as well as the cottage roof. Amazing!
Since this cottage is also a gift box, I needed a card too. The Bicycle Cottage Card is full of Autumn fun. The Hello Autumn Enamel Dots make the cutest flower centers!
This was such a fun project! I loved dusting off last years Autumn collection and giving it a new life. It also taught me to keep some Spring and Summer collections within close reach. You never know what you'll want to have on hand!
