HD Lilac Moments - Where Flowers Bloom

 

Today's cards come from a Hunkydory Kit called Lilac Moments - from the set "Where Flowers Bloom" (see picture above).  Here's a picture of the 6 cards I made from the set:

 

Card #1:

This first is an A2 card.  I had some purple mirri board (from HD) that I thought went pretty well with it, so die cut a piece for the background (this is really the center of a mat piece on a card I'll show you soon.  The focal and sentiment are from the set.

Inside:

The border strip is actually a scrap leftover from the die cut sheet - with a small sentiment from the set.

Card #2:

Next is a thank you card made with elements from the watering can AS.  I die cut the watering can with a basic circle die, and die cut a mat from pink card stock.  (I actually cut out the center of the mat and used it on the inside of the card.)  I cut the corners off the AS sheet.  The first corner went in the upper right as is.  The 2nd one I cut into into pieces and glued one small piece to the lower left corner.  The sentiment is a stamp from one of Mom's stamp sets - stamped on a strip of the AS (if you look closely you can see the lines from the "wood").  I put the sentiment on foam tape.

Inside:

As you can see, I put part of the corner from the AS in the lower left.  The left-over pink circle forms the mat for another circle cut from the AS and stamped with a stamp from a HOTP set called "Thank You!"  The butterfly was a sticker from my stash.

Card #3:

Here I've used a couple of large oval frames from the set - cutting one apart and arranging it as you see here.  This forms a great place to put the tiny sentiment from the set - matted twice (once with a die cut from the AS using a Spellbinder's die called "Splendid Circles" and once with a piece of purple mirri that was cut with a basic circle die.  The butterflies were from my stash.  Their "trails" were innies from some border stickers.

Inside:

Once again I used a die cut border from the set - this time a large circle.  Inside of this I stamped a sentiment using one of my Mom's stamps, and then added a tiny butterfly die cut from the set.

Card #4:

I REALLY like the way this first one turned out!  The card front is simply a border piece of the AS.  I cut a narrow strip from the right and attached it to the left, giving a more finished look.  This is matted on some purple Mirri card stock.  Before adding my focal panel, I ran a couple of ribbons around it about 1/3 up from the bottom to form a border.  My greeting die cut (from the set) completes the card front.

Inside:

Inside I created cut two borders from the included border strip & added a small die cut.  The stamp is from a HOTP set called Birthday Cheer.

Card #5:

Next up is a sympathy card.  In order to make the AS fit the card front, I sliced off a piece, inserted a misc piece of AS I had, and covered it with a wide purple ribbon that came on a Christmas gift.  I then added a more narrow turquoise ribbon & the die cut focal.  I finished the card front with a die cut - purple mirri cut with a greeting die from HD (Moonstone Snippables, Floral Favorites, Lily).

Inside:

The border inside is basically just a narrow piece of what was used on the card front - and a butterfly from my stash.  The stamp is from a HOTP set called Heartfelt Greetings.

Card #6:

This final card started with a piece of AS that was once again not quite as wide as I wanted.  This time, I cut a wider piece from the border on the left to create a border on the right.  I added strips of purple mirri, and then inked the edges before adding it to the card front.  Then I simply added a die cut from the set & a greeting that I cut from a Debbi Moore download (no idea which one).

Inside:

The borders are from scraps of the die cut sheet.  The stamp is from a HOTP stamp set called Birthday Greetings.
