Hunkydory Scrap Christmas Card

One of the sets from the Hunkydory Christmas Cuddles Luxury Card Pack ("Winter Wonderpants") had  just a few elements left over - two 1 1/2 inch square embellishments and a tiny circle.  I decided to see what I could come up with using those 3 elements.  

As you can see, I decided to use six red squares on a white embossed background (matted in red before being adhered to the front of my card).  I put the Hunkydory elements in the center of 3 of the red squares and started looking through my dies to see what I could add for the others.  

I found a cute Christmas tree (cut/embossed from green suede paper - die is from Evergreen Pivot Card die from Elizabeth Crafts), a stocking (cut/embossed from white glimmer paper, then dots colored with red Smooch ink & package in the top colored with silver - die came with a card making magazine), and the word "joy" (die from Art Impressions - "Place Card Pals" - cut from white glimmer paper AND white sticky-backed foam sheet & glued together).

After adding those, I decided some of the squares needed a bit of additional help - especially the little round Hunkydory piece.  First, I embossed all, except the ones behind the two larger Hunkydory elements, with a Cuttlebug folder called "Swiss Dots".  Next, I found a leftover Hunkydory frame and started cutting it up.  I framed the square that had the round piece & turned it on end to form a diamond.  Then I created borders on the sides of the two neighboring pieces. 

All squares were adhered directly to the card, but the diamond one was added with foam tape.

The inside was a simple sentiment on a border.  The border strip came from the set, the sentiment from an "Essential book" of Christmas greetings (also Hunkydory).
