HD Vintage Blossom - Ochre Blossoms

Continuing with the Vintage Blossom kit from Hunkydory, today's cards come from the set called Ochre Blossoms.  Here's a picture of half of it - there were two identical sets like this:

Some of the die cuts and AS (adoreable scoreable card stock) had been used previously, but most of them were there.  I got 8 cards from this double set.  Here's a look at them:

Inside of each, are stamped sentiments - all using Crafter's Companion Compendium (CCC) stamps. Below are closeups of each cards:

Card #1:

The background was a piece of AS.  The side borders were made with dark red glimmer paper and border stickers.  The top border, focal, and letters were all from the die cut sheet. 

Inside:

The borders were made with scraps of AS, dark red glimmer paper, and die cuts.  The message was from a CCC stamp page called Congratulations.

Card #2:

The background was pieced from scraps of AS from other sets.  The sentiment was created with die cut letters from the set.

Inside:

A scrap of AS with ribbon forms the lower border.  Another scrap of the AS forms a decoration - matted with a cut-down version of a Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight cut out of gold poster board.  The sentiment was stamped with a CCC stamp from the Inspirational sheet.

Card #3:

The background/focal was cut from an AS sheet and inked around the edges with permanent markers. The sentiment was from the die cut sheet.

Inside:

Another scrap of the AS - inked edges as on the front - forms the lower border.  The stamped sentiment is from the CCC sheet called Birthday - Female.

Card #4:

The AS background was actually leftover from another set, but looked to go well with the die cuts.  I created an interlocking gate fold card using die cuts from the set.

Inside:

The borders are AS strips (again from a different set).  The sentiment was stamped with a CCC stamp from Birthday - Female.

Card #5:

For the background of this one, I used a stencil & two colors of distress ink to blend with the die cuts that create the rest of the card front.

Inside:

Border and frame were from the die cut sheet, while the CCC stamp was from the sheet called Thank You.

Card #6:

This is the first of the 3 cards that is an unusual size - 4" x 7".  The borders are from scraps of AS, and a piece of ribbon.  The focal and sentiment are from the die cut sheets.

Inside:

Another piece of AS forms the border on the inside.  The stamped sentiment was from the CCC sheet called Birthday - Female.

Card #7:

This second of the 4" x 7" cards started with a background of AS, matted with dark red glimmer paper.  The border was created with scraps of both AS & the glimmer paper.  The focal & frame were from the die cut sheet.  The sentiment was a die cut sentiment (Creative Expressions - Thinking of You).

Inside:

Pieces of AS & glimmer paper form a border on the inside.  The sentiment was stamped with a CCC stamp from Thinking of You.

Card #8:

Again, I have a piece of AS matted with dark red glimmer paper forming the background of this card.  The border, focal, and frame were all from the die cut sheet.  The sentiment was die cut using another Creative Expressions die (With Sympathy).  The decorative dots were made by punching circles from the glimmer paper and gluing them to the top of Jewel Dazzles.

Inside:

Again  the border was made from a scrap of AS and a scrap of glimmer paper.  The stamped message was also from CCC - a sheet called With Sympathy.
