Daydreams ACK Part 3

Today I have six more cards from the Daydreams Artful Card Kit (ACK) from HOTP, so with the 7 I've made previously, that brings my total so far to 13 cards.  I'm pretty sure I'll get at least 2 more cards from the kit, so there WILL be a "part 4".  Most of the stamped messages are from Crafter's Companion Compendium stamp set (CCC).

Card #1:

First up is a slimline card with background made for a sketch challenge on a message board I frequent.  I started with a piece of the black print cut to fit on this slimline card.  Then I cut pieces of pink and green scrap (the green was a glitter card stock) as per the sketch and put them in place on the card.  I used a large die cut from the kit as a mat for the sentiment, and then added a flower die cut to the lower right corner.  Then I added a sprinkling of beads - and a sequin (center of larger flower) to finish the front.

Inside:

A black strip forms a border on the inside - with die cut flowers to brighten it up.  The sentiment is from CCC the sheet called Thank You.

Card #2:

Next up is a card made using one of the diamond prints and the black print - combined with yellow & pink card stock mats from my stash.  The focal is a die cut from the kit, and the sentiments are two cut out pieces from the kit.  The "Happy Birthday" sentiment was made with a stamp from a set I got in a card making magazine - set is called The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.  

Inside:

A border was created using scraps of the diamond and black prints and the yellow card stock.  I added a cut out with a stamped "Celebrate" (stamp from JustRite's Enjoy the Day stamp set).  The other stamped greeting is another CCC stamp from the sheet called Birthday - Female.

Card #3:

This time I started with a pink card base and the black print for the background.  The main part of the border is a die cut from the kit, but I added a pink metallic strip along the top edge - and used the scraps of that same strip as the "thread" for the button in the center of the dream catcher.  Both the button & the dream catcher with feathers were die cuts from the kit.  The sentiment was a cut out from the kit.

Inside is more of the border & black print paper, along with another dream catcher die cut.  The stamped sentiment is another CCC - this time from the Thinking of You page.

Card #4:

This time I started with a cream colored card base and embossed the front using an MBossabilities folder from Spellbinders - the one called Elite.  I then inked the raised portions with a coordinating ink before adding a strip of the border patterned paper, and a layered focal/greeting element made from die cuts and cut outs from the kit.

Inside:

Inside I used black from my stash to mat a piece of another border patterned paper from the kit, then stamped a greeting.  this time it's from CCC's With Love page.

Card #5:

Next up is a card that uses the pink patterned paper for the background, but it is triple matted - twice with black (from my stash) and once with that border patterned paper.  I added a black border strip of card stock from my stash to anchor the focal which was created with layers of die cuts and cut outs from the kit.

Inside:

The border is created with more of the black and the patterned paper - and the greeting is a cutout from the kit.

Card #6:

This final card features a rabbit that had been stamped and colored for another card - and then not included in the final product.  It sat in my stash until I decided it was perfect for this card.  The background is made of the striped paper, a strip of white (from my stash), all matted with black from my stash.  The focal is layered up using scraps from the kit, die cuts from the kit, and a cut out greeting - also from the kit.

Inside:

A die cut border from the kit forms the base for the inside, and a stamped greeting (again from the Thinking of You CCC page) completes this card.
