I actually started working on this Honeysuckle Artful Card Kit a couple of years ago. I first made a bunch of cards as a part of a One Sheet Wonder set (see here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Then I made a couple of thank you cards (Honeysuckle Thank You). So, I already had 9 cards made from this kit and decided it was time to finish it up! I thought it wouldn't take long, but so far I have 6 more cards and more to go!
Card #1 (above): This first card is an A2 size - made from black card stock & embossed with a HOTP embossing folder called Lacy Border. I used the same embossing folder with a piece of the patterned paper & cut it to fit. The focal was fussy cut from the cover sheet from the set and then layered on black (die cut with a Spellbinder's die - Ironworks Motifs) and red glimmer paper (cut with Spellbinder's Splendid Circles - which I trimmed of it's outer ring). The flowers & fussy cut label come from the kit.
Inside:
Inside are more paper pieces and elements from the kit. The sentiments were stamped & embossed with stamps from JustRite's Because I Care stamp set.
Card#2:
More elements from the kit combine with black card to create this card front - tag in upper left corner was stamped with a stamp from JustRite's Friends Antique Labels One. The other label was stamped with a stamp from Paper Discovery's Timeless.
Inside:
Inside are more papers from the kit, along with some from my stash.
Card #3:
For this card, most things were from the kit, but I DID add some other papers from my stash. I also didn't like the colors of the big label - so I cut out the inside & backed it with gray patterned paper from my stash. I hand printed the word "Feel" to the little tag.
Inside:
Inside are more papers - and a small tag from the kit - which I stamped & heat embossed with a stamp from HOTP's Heartfelt Greetings.
Card #4:
For this card I started with a background of patterned paper from the kit - along with black paper and white ribbon from my stash. The focal is from the kit - with a couple JustRite stamps from For All You Do Vintage Labels Three. The stamp on the smaller label is from Divinity Design's Thanks For Everything.
Inside:
Inside are more papers (red & black from my stash) and a tag from the kit - stamped and heat embossed with a stamp from JustRite's Antique Autumn Tags One.
Card #5:
The card front is put together using elements from the kit. The focal greeting is matted using a die from the Twisted Metal Tags and Accents set from Spellbinders and trimmed with scissors. I highlighted the bees using Smooch ink.
Inside:
Inside are additional elements from the kit.
Card #6:
Black card stock forms the base for this card. The papers are from my stash. The red is embossed using Darice's 5x7 Damask embossing folder & then inked with black soot ink (Distress Ink). The black ribbon is from my stash. The focal tag is from the kit - with a butterfly from my stash. This is matted with a black mat (die cut with Spellbinder's Ironworks Accents) and a red mat (cut in in pieces with center removed (die cut with Spellbinder's Radiant Rectangles). The greeting tag & flower are from the kit, but I added a red rhinestone from my stash.
Inside:
The papers inside are from my stash, but the die cuts are from the kit (with a red rhinestone from my stash added to the center flower). The top sentiment was hand-printed. The lower sentiment is stamped using a stamp from HOTP's Botanical Frames.
