This particular project was all about capturing the sweet, timeless beauty of a French cottage. And let me tell you โ while it was absolutely a labor of love, every tiny detail made the process completely worth it!

๐ Building the Cottage: A Creative Journey
From carefully coloring each die-cut piece to layering them with intention, this little cottage came to life step by step. The textures, the dimension, and the color palette all came together to create a warm, inviting scene that feels straight out of a storybook.
If youโve ever worked with Honey Beeโs Lovely Layers collection, you know how satisfying it is to see the finished design come together. This project reminded me why I love die-cutting so much โ it’s like assembling a little piece of art, one layer at a time.
