HD Christmas Classics 2021 - Goodwill to All

Today I have 5 cards from a 2021 Hunkydory kit called Christmas Classics - the set called Goodwill to All.  Here's a picture of the set I started with:

As you can see, it consists of two AS sheets (adoreable scoreable printed card stock) and one sheet of die cuts.  The AS sheet on the left I refer to as the "blue" one, and the one on the right as the "red" one. It was interesting to note that the die cut sheet was quite a bit flimsier than the the 2016 one I used yesterday!  I wonder if that's a change they've made across the board, or just for this kit.  I'll have to take note and see!  I didn't add much to this kit to complete my cards - a bit of white paper/card stock, a bit of gold card stock, and some sentiments from a Hunkydory Little Book of Essential Christmas Sentiments (LB).

Here are the 5 cards that I made:

 Now for a closer look at each:

Card #1:

First up is an interactive gate fold card. I cut part of the blue AS to create background panels for the card front - after scoring and folding the card base as a gate fold card.  Then I simply glued the frame to the left side (only) and the focal to the right side (only).  Quick & easy!

Inside:

Here I took part of the border from the blue AS, fussy cut the green part off, and added it as a border at the top of the card.  Then I added a couple of stamped verses.  Both stamps come from Divinity Designs - the first from the set called Great Joy stamp/die duo, and the 2nd from their Christmas Card Scriptures set.

Card #2:

Next up is a really quick & easy card.  The background is from the red AS.  I backed one of the die cut frames with white & turned it on point - then added a die cut focal.  The sentiment is from the LB of sentiments.

Inside:

Once again I used a border piece from the blue AS - again fussy cutting the green off (this time from the top).  The sentiment is stamped from the CCC (Crafter's Companion Compendium) Believe in the Magic stamp set.

Card #3:

You probably recognize the background piece of blue AS by now - this time with the border intact.  I matted the focal & sentiment on white before adding as you can see in the picture.

Inside:

This time the border piece on the inside does not have the green removed.  The stamped greeting is again from CCC's Believe in the Magic stamp set.

Card #4:

I think this may be my favorite of the cards from this set.  As you can probably figure out, the background came from the red AS sheet, but this time I overlaid it with a gold die cut lattice piece (Circles 3x8 by Cutting Edge).  That dresses it up SO much!  Then I just added two of the die cut pieces - one of which had a greeting already on it.

Inside:

Inside I used a piece of the leftover red AS & pieces from a cut-apart die cut frame to form borders top & bottom.  The sentiment is again stamped with a stamp from CCC's Believe in the Magic.

Card #5:

This card front looks pretty elaborate, but it was really quite simple. The main part of it is cut from the red AS sheet - including the focal.  I added a piece of cut-apart frame to the top to better fit the card base (same die cut frame as used on the inside of the previous card).  Then I simply added a die cut sentiment toward the bottom and it was DONE!

Inside:

Inside I simply have a border piece and a stamped sentiment.  This one is from an un-named & no brand name set I call simply Christmas Word Stamps

And there you have it.  Five cards from a pretty HD set.
