Editor's Note
There's nothing like celebrating the fall and winter holidays. Something about the slight drop in the
temperature in late summer makes me start thinking about fall decor and Christmas shopping. I like to
make the holidays even more special by creating handmade gifts and home decor items for each holiday
season. The beautiful collections from both Carta Bella Paper and Echo Park Paper are perfect for both
creating lovely gifts and documenting memories.
In this idea book, the amazing Carta Bella Paper and Echo Park Paper Design Teams share their ideas for
cards, layouts, and altered items you could use to decorate for the season, to give as gifts, or to document
your holiday memories. These 18 beautiful projects will make any holiday celebration amazing!
