HD Floral Shimmer - Floral Bouquet

Today's cards come from a partial set from the Hunkydory kit called Floral Shimmer - the set is called Floral Bouquet.  I had a partial set of die cuts, a sheet of AS (adorable scoreable card stock), and some little book pages:

Here are the cards I made - I still had a little book page left, but had used everything else:

Card #1 (above): The background was created from a slice of the AS, bordered by silver card stock on the sides a one of the border die cuts used top and bottom.  The focal was cut from a little book page using a Labels One die from Spellbinders.  The silver is cut with their Decorative Labels One, with a sentiment from a Hunkydory Little Book of Sentiments.

Inside:

Inside I used the pieces cut off of the little book page (when making the focal).  I used the rest of the border at the bottom along with one of the die cuts (to hide the fact that the border wasn't long enough!)

Card #2:

Here I used scraps of pink to edge the side of the little book page - which is fussy cut to fit the bottom border of the AS.  The top border of the AS was fussy cut and glued here so it fit the card size. I also added a part of the 2nd die cut border.  A greeting was added using silver stickers, and a small butterfly die cut adds interest to the tulip.

Inside:

A border was created on the inside using scraps & the rest of the die cut border.  The "joy" die cut is also from the set, the other greeting is silver stickers from my stash.

Card #3:

This card is a simple little book page with corners rounded and matted on aqua blue paper - with corners of the card rounded as well.  Silver stickers form a border and the greeting.

Inside:

Remaining scraps of AS & border - along with some scraps of the aqua blue form a border for the inside.

Card #4:

Here's a note card - made just from cutting down a little book page.

Inside:

I found I had some extra scraps so they went inside.

Card #5:

Another note card uses up the rest of the die cuts and a cut down little book page.  The sentiment is stamped with StazOn ink using JustRite stamps from the set Musical Notes Labels Twenty.

Bookmark:


This bookmark used up the rest of the AS - I rounded the corners and added ribbon through a punched hole.  I may add a message when I decide who will receive it.
