Today I bring you another set of cards made from a Hunkydory set (Feeding Time from kit called Perfect Days). This is what the set looked like:
This was a "Deco" set - which means it comes with 1 1/2 sheets of punch outs, and 1 sheet of AS (Adoreable Scoreable printed card stock). By adding some of my own materials, I was able to use this set to make 5 cards and a tag:
Here's a closer look at each one:
Card #1:
The outside of the first was REALLY easy to make. I simply cut a piece of the AS to fit on a 5 x 7 card front with a narrow border, glued it in place, and added the sentiment with foam tape. Easy peasy.
Inside:
Inside was not quite as easy. I actually waited until I was finished with all the other cards and then came back to it. I decided to take a lavender piece and mat it with dark purple. Then I added a bunch of little die cut pieces (some which had been cut off of other ones) to make the scene you see here.
Card #2:
This one took me awhile. I got the idea of making a window with a cat pretending to not look at the birds. I have a couple of window dies, but it turned out that neither worked the way I wanted them to. So, I made my own with a square cutting die, a score board, and a piece of white card stock. The background paper is one I printed from a digital - but first I changed the color from pink gingham to this lavender/blue print. I'm not sure where the sentiment strip came from - found it in my stash - as I did with the cat die cut. I DID add a border strip to the window sill (from the set).
Inside:
Inside, I added more of the patterned paper for borders and decorated them with some of the remaining die cut pieces.
Card #3:
This time I went really simple again. I turned my card blank into a gate-fold by adding a couple of score lines and folding along them. I embossed the card front with a Spellbinders 5.5 x 8.5 embossing folder called Scattered Fall. I glued the focal to just the left side of the card front and added a ribbon bow.
Inside:
This time, though it's a bit hard to see, I cut a lavender piece just smaller than the inside of the card. I decorated with the corner embellishments that came in the set.
Card #4:
Trying to make my AS stretch, I decided on A2 sized cards for these last two. This one is a simple greeting card. Matting of purple backs the AS that forms the backdrop for the focal element. I DID add another layer on the birdhouse room, but just glued it down so there wouldn't be a lot of extra bulk. I added a couple of sticker greetings from HOTP.
Inside:
Inside I again used a matted piece of the AS - this time adding one of the border pieces from the set.
Card #5:
Here in addition to the matted AS, I created a border using scrap from my die cut sheet. The piece I used only had gold on one edge, so I cut another piece of scrap that was just a thin strip of the gold and glued it in place. In addition to the focal element (with a second piece glued to the eaves), I added a sentiment from the set.
Inside:
This inside was created just like the previous one except that a different border strip was used.
Tag:
I had a pretty piece of AS left over - too small to do much with. I decided to make it into a tag. Simply cut it to the size I wanted, punched a hole and added ribbon, and finished with some little butterfly stickers from my stash.
