HD Floral Favourites - Patchwork Posy

Today I have 6 cards from this Hunkydory set (Patchwork Posy from HD Floral Favourites).  The set had these materials - 1 sheet of AS (adorable scoreable card stock) and 1 1/2 sheets of die cuts (which I supplemented from my stash):

Here are the 6 cards and 3 tags that I made using these materials:

And here's a closeup look at each of them:

Card #1:

This first card, as you can see, is a slimline card.  The main portion of the card is cut from the AS, but I pieced borders top and bottom from scraps from the die cut sheet.  I added a couple sheer ribbons and a little greeting to finish the card front.

Inside:

Inside is a border strip that I pieced together, along with some of the smaller die cuts.

Card #2:

The background paper on this card is from my stash.  I wrapped a piece of lace around it near the bottom for a border.  I added a border strip from the set to a narrow strip of white card stock & then glued that in place on top of the lace.  I did some fussy cutting on the focal - and colored the "red" bits with a pink marker to help them go a little better.  I matted the focal on white card stock & fussy cut around it to form a narrow white border.

Inside:

As you can see, I just added a couple of strips of the patterned paper to form borders on the inside.

Card #3:

Next up is a doily card.  A piece of the AS was cut a bit smaller than the card front, leaving room to add a border at the bottom.  I fussy cut the focal piece so it didn't have red on it and so I could slip the greeting behind some of the flowers.  This was then glued to the small doily and put in place in the center of the card.  I added a few Jewel Dazzles in the bottom left corner and in the center of the bow on the focal (I colored the silver outline of them with a gold marker so they went a bit better).  I also added 3 small jeweled dragonflies to the focal.

Inside:

I did  a border strip on the inside - similar to what was on the outside,  and added a couple of die cuts.

Tags:

To use up the scraps, I made the 3 tags you see in the above photo.

Card #4:


Here's another card with doilies on it.  This time I used a colored card stock for the card base & embossed it with a Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  I added a tag with a greeting from my stash and completed the card front with a couple of red rhinestones.

Inside:

A couple more strips of the pink card stock forms border strips on the inside.  To this I added a sticker from my stash.

Card #5:

Here I have another doily card.  I started with the lavender gingham paper and then added a large doily that I trimmed close to the edges of the card.  I added another die cut bunch of flowers & a greeting - both from the set.

Inside:

Inside are some more of the smaller die cuts from the set - set on a piece of the lavender gingham.

Card #6:

One of the things I did with this set was to remove the butterflies from the things they were attached to.  I did not care for the orange with the pinks.  So, I put these 3 butterflies together with a die cut border strip from the set to make a card with orange shades on it.  To flesh out the card front, I added a floral sticker from my stash and a ribbon bow.

Inside:

I would have liked to have another butterfly for the inside of the card, but there were only the three that I used on the card front.  So I just made a quick border with the ribbon & a strip of gold card stock.
