Well, this is a kit that seems never ending! In this 6th installment of the Sugar Plum Artful Card Kit (HTOP) I've made 5 more cards - bringing to total so far to 20. Most of what I had left was patterned paper since apparently I got two of each sheet in the kit! So, I've had to go into my stash and get creative about finding focals to use with it.
Card #1 (above): For my focal in this first example, I've used a picture cut from an envelope I received for Christmas and stored in my stash. I added red glimmer paper from my stash for mats and borders. I needed to use up this scrap of patterned paper and felt an embossed card front would go well with it. As you can see, I made a border from other scraps - some of which I cut with a Card Making Magic border die from their A5 Box Kit. The "Merry Christmas" greeting is from the ACK. The word "joy" in the upper left-hand corner is a hand-lettered embellishment I made using a die from Spellbinder's Luscious Labels One. The embossing is a 5X7 M-Bossabilities folder called Elite.
Inside:
Inside I have borders created by combining a bunch of scraps, and a focal greeting. The greeting itself is from the ACK - which I matted on a piece die cut using Spellbinder's Radiant Rectangles (with part of the center to cut out to fit the way I wanted it).
Card #2:
This next card once again uses paper & greetings from the ACK. For a focal, I die cut some ornaments (Paper Artist Three Lacy Christmas Ornaments), backed them with paper, and arranged them along a ribbon border. The stars were from my stash & the frame for the greeting was a die cut from Spellbinder's Renaissance Jeweled Frame).
Inside:
Inside is more of the same.
Card #3:
For this 3rd card, the paper is once again from the ACK, but the rest is from my stash - ribbon, brads, red glimmer paper. The tags were printed from a freebie from TheNavagePatch. The tray of "cookies" is a brad buddy from HOTP. I colored the tag with Distress Ink to tone down the white.
Inside:
Inside is more of the same.
Card #4:
I still had more of that paper left over, so went looking for more things to use with it. I found these mittens & other embellishments in my stash - old HOTP stuff. The greeting is stamped on a label from the kit using a stamp from Christmas Labels & Trims (HOTP).
Inside:
Inside is more of the same - with a greeting from Divinity Designs Christmas Card Scriptures.
Card #5:
For this card I used a focal from a Christmas card I received in the past. The tag is from my stash (old HOTP stuff). Once again I used distress ink to tone down the bright white in the greeting.
Inside:
Inside is more scraps of the paper and a greeting - label from my stash stamped with a stamp from JustRite's Noel Christmas Ornaments.
