HD Christmas Past - Vintage Greetings

I'm working with the "Christmas Past" luxury card collection from Hunkydory to get some more Christmas cards made.  Going back through cards made in the past, it looks like I've already made 18 cards from this kit.  Here are 4 more for a total of 22.

Card #1 (above):  For this card, I took the red patterned AS (adorable scorable card stock) and embossed it with Darice's Damask embossing folder.  I then hit this with gold ink, sprinkled clear embossing powder over it & heat embossed it.  I matted it on a piece of gold metallic poster board, creating this great background to showcase the focal & sentiment.  The focal is from the set - the sentiment from a little book of essential Christmas sentiments (2016).

Inside:

Inside I used more of the same - with a leftover piece of patterned card stock (leftover from card #2 below).

Card #2:

Next up is a fold-back card that uses the red patterned AS as it came in the kit.  It is paired with a border piece of patterned AS, a focal & sentiment from the kit, and a strip of gold metallic poster board.

Inside:

Here you can see the card oped up as the fold back reveals the inside.

Card #3:

This third card again makes use of gold poster board to highlight the AS strips that form the foundation of the card front.  The tag is from the kit - the ribbon from my stash.

Inside:

Inside is another tag from the kit, as well as a piece of the gold poster board.

Card #4:

For this card I made a red card base - something I almost never do.  I made it as a gate fold card & cut pieces of the AS to fit - then added the large focal.

Inside:

I added a piece of marble-like card stock on the inside. A border piece & another embellishment from the kit complete the inside.
