HD A Cuddly Christmas - The Teddy Bear's Christmas

 
Hunkydory's A Cuddly Christmas set called The Teddy Bear's Christmas was only partially intact for creating this set of Christmas cards as you can see in the picture below:
 

As you can see, there was very little left - a partial sheet of AS (Adoreable Scoreable card stock) and a few remaining die cuts.  Because of the sparseness of the remainder of this set, I added some LB pages to create more focals and created 5 cards as you can see in the picture below:
 

Below is a close up of each card.

Card #1:

I started with the one remaining focal, placing it on a white card with embossed card front.  I added a greeting from a Hunkydory essential book of greetings.  I didn't take pictures of the inside, but the tag worked great with a border scrap on the inside.

Card #2:

I cut the AS into 4 pieces to use as backgrounds for more cards.  This time, I cut a LB page, matted it on gold and glued it in place.  I also added another sentiment from the essential book of greetings.

Card #3:

This time the AS piece had a border on it, but only covered about 2/3 of the card.  I then fussy cut the focal from another LB sheet.  To create the look of something on which this focal needed to sit, I die cut a fancy border piece to add it.

Card #4:

 
This one started with a similar background piece to the last one, but I added a cut piece of another LB page at the top.  To this, I added a gold die cut border strip, "hung" a bit of a border sticker to hold another sentiment piece.  The card was completed with fussy cutting the bird and adding it in place.

Card #5:

This time I have another full size piece of AS for the background, I inked the edges before adding it to the card blank.  I cut another LB piece and inked the edges.  I die cut the border below this - and added a mat. The sentiment was the last die cut from this HD set.
