HD 2014-15 Remainders

 
A friend set a challenge to finish up older Hunkydory collections.  I had a set of concept cards from Season's Greetings - A Window to the Heart collection from 2015, as well as leftovers from Warmest Wishes - A Window to the Heart from 2014.  I decided to use these pieces and see what I could make from there.  I made several cards and tags.  Here's a look at each.

Card #1:

Here's the first of the 4 concept cards.  There's not much to say about them as they're all made the same way - as per the concept card directions.  I really do like the way the acetate is folded the opposite way as the card itself and the way the frames glued to the outer sides of the acetate are then added with foam tape behind them to connect the acetate to the card itself.

Card #2:

 Card #3:

Card #4:

Tags Set One:

These were leftover pieces from the concept cards - die cuts from the inside of the frames.  I simply punched a hole near the top and added a ribbon to complete each tag.

The rest of these were made from various scraps leftover from other pieces in the collection.

Card #5:

This focal was created from a set of 3 punch outs and a gold frame.  I cut a piece of AS for a background, and added a gold rectangular frame from my stash.  Finally, I added a border of gold scrap and red ribbon - along with a sentiment piece from the set.  A ribbon bow from my stash completed the card.

Card #6:

After embossing the card front with a Darice folder called Damask, I cut two circle frames in half and added them to the center of each edge.  Then I added the other layered focal that I had left.  After positioning it in the upper left corner, I added a strip of AS for a border on the other side - and a sentiment piece to complete the card.

Card #7:

The background paper was from a HD idea book and went well with the focal and sentiment - which I added with foam tape.

Card #8:

This card is very similar - just the focal and sentiment pieces are different.

Card #9:

This card was made in a similar way with a different background paper and a gold mat for the background paper.

Card #10:

This time I used a Sharpie to ink the edges of the background paper.  As you can see, I also added a red card stock mat this time.

Tags Set Two:

I just had a few pieces left that I decided to use to make tags.
