HD Christmas Past - A Gift for You

These cards finished off the HD Christmas Past card kit - from the set called "A Gift for You".  There are 7 cards from this set bringing the total from this kit to 45 cards!

Card #1 (above):  The background on this card was cut from a piece of AS (adorable scoreable card stock) from the set (I cut out the center with a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles Two and used part of that on the inside of the card).  The focal is from a Debbi Moore freebie - and the sentiment from another.  I cut pieces from a gold die cut for top and bottom of the focal (Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Squares).

Inside:

Inside is another Debbi Moore focal & Greeting.  The red top & bottom was cut from the background on the front of the card.

Card #2:

Once again, this card started with a piece of AS from the set.  To this, I added pieces from a Debbi Moore set and a piece of red ribbon from my stash.

Inside:

Inside is more of the same.

Card #3:

Once again, card number 3 consists of background of AS from the set and focal/sentiment from a Debbi Moore set.

Inside:

More from the same.

Card #4:

Card number 4 is a large card - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", embossed with Decor Circles by Theresa Collins and inked with a couple of colors to get the shade I wanted.  The rest of the elements are die cuts from the set.

Inside:

The inside has border and die cut from the set.  The rest are pieces of Hunkydory AS but not from this set.

Card #5:

This card started with a piece of AS from the set.  To that I added a gold frame cut with Spellbinder's Resplendent Rectangles and a couple of pieces from Debbi Moore.

Inside:

Inside is more of the same - with leftover die cut pieces from card #1

Card #6:

Once again I started with AS from the set for the background.  I added some pieces cut from a doily and border/greeting/focal from Debbi Moore.

Inside:

More AS & another Debbi Moore piece complete the inside.

Card #7:

This last card uses pieces of AS that may have been leftovers from another HD set (not sure) - matted on gold poster board.  The focal is from this set, but the frame was from another one - it was actually a hot pink color which I colored over with a red Sharpie pen.  The braid border is from my stash.

Inside:

Inside are more pieces of AS, a tag from the set, and more braid from my stash.

It feels like quite an accomplishment to complete this HD kit - and to have gotten 45 cards from it!
