HD Warmest Wishes - All Wrapped Up

 

Today's cards come from an old 2014 Hunkydory Window to the Heart luxury card collection called Warmest Wishes - from the set called All Wrapped Up.  

As you can see from the die cut sheet, I did not have all the pieces from this one, but I did have most of the die cut sheet and all of the 2 accompanying AS (Adoreable Scoreable printed card stock) sheets.  I also had a 3rd sheet that was left over from a previous set that I decided went well with these.

As you can see from the above photo, I ended up making 6 cards and 2 tags from these materials - adding to them from my stash as desired.  Here's a close up look at each:

Card #1:

This first card actually makes use of pieces from a concept card that didn't get used up.  This is the three pieces that form the focal.  The bottom border & background were all part of the AS - except for the poinsettia & leaves - those are Dazzles stickers (HOTP).  The top border was made using a strip of gold poster board from my stash, a strip of dark green from one of the AS pages, a sentiment piece from the set, and more poinsettia stickers.

Inside:

Borders top & bottom were pieces from the AS - each had 2 pieces - top one was layered 2nd one simply glued together.  As you can see, I also added more stickers.  The stamped sentiment came from one of my Mom's stamps.

Card #2:

Next up is another slimline card - with background pieced together from the additional AS sheet.  The focal and sentiment were both freebies from Debbi Moore.  

Inside:

Inside are more digi prints from Debbi Moore.  The sentiment is again one of my Mom's stamps.

Card #3:

This sideways slimline again has a pieced background from one of the sheets of AS.  To this I've added a focal image raised with foam squares, a sentiment piece and 2 embellishments - all from the set.

Inside:

The borders on the inside have strips of AS and 2 border pieces that we leftovers from a concept card.  The sentiment is again stamped using one of my Mom's stamps.

Card #4:

The background on this card is cut straight from the AS.  The image and sentiment are cut outs from a Debbi Moore freebie.  I cut a piece of white card stock to form a base of "snow" for the snowman and friends to stand on.

Inside:

Here I have 2 strips of the AS forming borders, and two more Debbi Moore digi-print cut outs. The sentiment is again one of my Mom's stamps.

Card #5:

One of the reasons that I decided this set was a good one to use with the 3rd "leftover" piece of AS, was that I REALLY didn't like this mostly pink focal (from the set) on a red background - which was what came with the set!  So, I cut a piece of this light green from the 3rd piece of AS, created borders top and bottom using gold strips & Dazzles borders.  I also used a small piece of the Dazzles border to extend the "hanger" for the chandelier.  A sentiment piece from one of HD's Little Book of Essential Christmas Sentiments completes the card front.

Inside:

Inside I used more of the green AS and Dazzles border strips.  I also added a stamped message - again one of my Mom's stamps.

Card #6:

This last card was actually the first that I made.  As you can see, I used some of the red AS for the background - then added a gold strip & purple strip from my stash to create a border.  I added some Dazzles stickers to this border before gluing the focal in place.  Once again I added a sentiment from the LB - this time adding another Dazzle to "anchor it in place".

Inside:

More of the AS, a strip of the purple, and more Dazzles stickers form a border on the inside.  The sentiment is another of my Mom's.  This time I used Dazzles stickers to cover the holly sprig that was a part of the stamped image.

Tags:

I had two small piece of AS left - so I decided to fold each in half to form a tag.  The first has a stamped image (one of my Mom's stamps) stamped with StazOn ink - and a piece of gold braid attached to the punched hole.  The 2nd started out being completely the light green AS - but I added scraps from other AS to form a border at the bottom.  Then I added another Debbi Moore freebie cutout and finished with a piece of the same gold braided thread through the punched hole.
