4 Cards from Old HOTP Xmas Set

I have quite a few card making sets from old Card Maker's Personal Shoppers (HOTP) and I'm trying to use them up.  Usually they only make a card or two, but I got FOUR from this set.

Card #1 (above): All of the pieces were from this card maker's set - except for the gold border - saved from another set.  The reason I got so many cards from this one set is that when I used a paper for a mat, I cut out the center of it first to save for something else.

Inside:

As you can see, there's more of the same here.

Card #2:

The second card started with a similar paper/mat scenario from the set - again with the center cut out.  This time, though, the focal was from an old HOTP booklet of acetate greetings.  Fortunately it was not hard to adhere the acetate since I could simply add adhesive behind the darker printed areas.

Inside:

Again the inside is just scraps of paper from the set.

Card #3:

I'm not sure if this tag was from this set or if I brought it as scrap from another one.  I KNOW that the narrow strip of paper was scrap from a previous set.  I chose not to stamp a greeting at this time since I'm not 100% certain that I'll use this as a Christmas card.

Inside:

A couple of scraps & cut outs from the set complete the inside of the card.

Card #4:

This is a card that I would re-do if I could - but the elements are stuck down too well - I think it would look better to have a couple of the tags removed.  All the pieces are from the set.  I embossed the card front (Kitchen Weave by Cuttlebug) & hit it with some dark red ink.  

Inside:

I completed the inside of the card by using up most of the rest of the scraps.
