HD Winter Wildlife of Britain - Rabbit & Field Mouse

Today I have cards made from a 2016 Hunkydory Kit called Winter Wildlife of Britain.   The specific set was called Rabbit & Field Mouse.  Here's what the set looked like when I started:

As you can see, there was one sheet of die cuts and 2 sheets of Adoreable Scoreable (AS) printed card stock.  To this I added some scraps AS, a couple of extra die cuts from the kit, and a couple of Hunkydory Little Book pages to make 8 cards.  I also added a bit of ribbon and some sentiments from my stash.  Here's a look at the set of 8 cards.

It's always a bit challenging to make cards with limited supplies and tools, but that's what this set was.  Hunkydory sets make it easier to make nice cards while working with my Mom in the rehab center, but we're both looking forward to getting back to normal and working with more supplies.  At any rate, here's a closer look at each.

Card #1:

 

This time I made things easier on myself (though perhaps a bit more boring?).  I took each sheet of AS in the set and cut it into four pieces (with a little left over) that were each just a bit smaller than an A2 card front.  Then I set about using each to make a card.  For this first one, I simply glued the AS in place (it came with the border) and then added the largest die cut for a quick note card.

 

Card #2:

 

Next up, was the piece that had a scene printed on it.  This made for a great combined background & focal.  To this, I simply added a die cut border & sentiment from the set.

 

Card #3:

 

Because I was making A2 sized cards, the die cut frames were too big to fit the cards.  No worries!  I simply cut them and added them in various ways.  In this case, you can see a portion of an oval frame is glued as an arch around the focal die cut (one of the extra die cuts).

 

Card #4:

 

This piece of AS had a lovely foiled border already on it.  That was great for the left side! As you can see, I took portions of a frame to add a bit of interest to the right side of the card before adding the focal die cut.

 

Card #5:

 

This time I turned my piece of AS so that the pretty foiled border was at the bottom.  Then I added a partial circle frame die cut to the top before adding the focal die cut. (Again an extra die cut from the kit.)

 

Card #6:

 

The background AS came with the focal picture already on it.  This time I made use of a small strip of AS that was left over from another project to add to the border & fussy cut part of it to form a mat to my sentiment (from my stash).

 

Card #7:

 

By now, I was out of focal die cuts, but still had two pieces of AS and two fancy frames left.  I used one of each for this card, cutting the frame and re-arranging it on the card front.  Then I fussy cut a rabbit from a Little Book page and added it for my focal.  Finally I found a scrap of coordinating ribbon and added it with a sentiment from my stash.

 

Card #8:

 

This last card was created similarly - focal was fussy cut from a different Little Book page, and placed on the AS background that had been decorated with a die cut frame that had been cut in two pieces.  I threaded a scrap of ribbon through a sentiment from my stash and added it with foam tape to complete this card.
