Wonderland ACK Part 2


Today I have three more cards from the HOTP Wonderland Artful Card Kit (ACK).  

Card #1: This first one features a 3-D embossing folder I got with my Gemini die cut & embossing machine.  It is BEAUTIFUL!!!  I used a gold linen card stock and I love how that turned out.  On top of this I layered a blue strip for a border, a blue die cut (Spellbinder's 2010 Heirloom Ornaments), the ornament frame from the ACK, and a gold die cut (cut from the same gold linen card stock using a Paper Artist die from the set called 3 Lacy Christmas Ornaments).

Inside:

Inside we have a spinner element.  It is created the same way as another card I made here.  The spinner part started as the inside piece of the ornament frame that was on the card front (from the ACK).  I colored the back of it gold (using Opal Polish) and then added a couple other snowflake die cuts from the ACK.  It ended up looking quite similar.  Then, I added gold Jewel Dazzles to each side for some extra sparkle.  The border was cut from the gold linen card stock using Spellbinder's Classic Bracket Edgeabilities dies.  The "Tis the Season" was also cut from the same gold card stock using a Creative Expressions die called Tis the Season Edger.  

Inside Alternate View:

Here you can see the other side where I have a stamped message (HOTP Christmas Cheer stamp set) stamped on patterned paper from the ACK & framed with a gold die cut frame (Spellbinders 5X7 Heirloom Legacy die set).

Card #2:

The 2nd card started with a craft colored card base - front embossed with Cane Weave 3-D folder by Spellbinders.  Layered elements from the ACK form the sentiment which is attached to a border strip of dark teal.  The light colored paper at the bottom is a scrap from the ACK.  The same dark blue teal was die cut to create the nativity scene (Divinity Designs Holy Night die set).

Inside:

Inside are more pieces from the ACK, several angel die cuts (from the Holy Night set), a border strip of the dark teal, and an inked panel behind the greeting (from ACK).  The "A gift of Love" was stamped & heat embossed using a stamp from JustRite's Holiday Cheer Ornaments.

Card #3:
The third card is a cutaway.  Papers are from the ACK as are the layered focal elements (though the sentiment was stamped using a stamp from HOTP's Christmas Labels and Trims.   The little snowflakes that are scattered around are cut using Paper Artist dies (from 2 sets - Three Snowflakes and Flying Reindeer).

Here you can see the card partially opened:


Inside:
Inside is a border (patterned paper from the ACK) and more snowflakes.

So, these three cards bring my Wonderland ACK total to 5 cards so far.
