Merry & Bright ACK Part 4


This is the last installment of the Merry & Bright ACK (Artful Card Kit - HOTP).  There's very little left - just a couple small tags & some tiny scraps.  I got 4 more cards (bringing the total from this kit to 17) and 3 tags.  Here they are.

Card #1: (above)  This card was made as a Gap Card - so called because a gap is cut in the card front and bridged with something - in this case the label that forms the card focal. The background paper is from the kit.  The label was a die cut, also from the kit, but I stamped the pictures on it (Inkadinkadoo - heat embossed with clear embossing powder) and added the word joy (alphabet sticker set from my stash).  The word BELIEVE was a die cut from the kit.  I finished the card front with a few poinsettia Dazzles (HOTP).

Inside:

The inside uses the same papers along with another couple of die cuts from the set.  A stamped image from the same Inkadinkadoo set forms a bit of a focal, and the word Rejoice was also stamped from the Inkadinkadoo stamp set.

Card #2:

Next up is a card where the background was embossed with a Darice folder (Snowflake Background).  Patterned papers & die cuts are from the set - enhanced with snowflake Dazzles (HOTP) & border.  A silver bow finishes the card front.

Inside:

Inside we have more of the same: strips of paper from the set & snowflake/border Dazzles.

Card #3:

For this card I used the die cut on the INSIDE!  We'll get to that in a minute.  The card front has paper from the kit, paper printed on my computer cut into strips and then cut as flags, and stickers from my stash (the boy & sled are Scrapbook Dazzles).

Inside:

On the inside I put a strip of the patterned paper (from the kit), a die cut (from the kit) that was stamped with a stamp from a set I got in a Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine (Christmas Cuties - Oct 2019 Issue).  I stamped it with Onyx Versafine ink & embossed with clear powder.  Then I colored it with my Scroll & Brush markers and again embossed with clear powder.  The music notes are stickers from my stash.

Card #4:

The last card (17th for this card kit) is made using most of the remaining die cuts and scraps of paper.  Sentiments are stamps from: Cardinal Small Stamp & Christmas Words (HOTP). 

Inside:

Inside we have more paper scraps & a leaf die cut.

There were still materials left over, but not really enough for a card, so I made these three tags from the remaining kit materials:


Mostly these are scraps from the kit & ribbon from my stash.  I die cut the Santa using dies from Art Impressions Christmas Place Card Set.
