Today I started on another set from Hunkydory's Floral Favorites - this set is called Picturesque Poppies. While the materials are basically for making one card, I made six from this set:
Below there's a close up of each, along with information on how they were made. In addition to the Hunkydory (HD) set, I used:
- Card blanks
- Paper/card stock scraps - white linen look card stock, plain white card stock, red holographic card stock, gold linen look card stock, and gold poster board
- Sticky-backed red mylar
- Small paper doilies
- Die cuts from HOTP's Instant Card Art - Earth's Palette
- Sentiments from Debbi Moore download
- Clear/Gold butterfly stickers
- Ribbons
- Spellbinder's Cutting dies - Botanical Accents, Grand Ovals, Resplendent Rectangles
- Embossing folders - Gemini 3D Ornate Lace, Darice Damask
- Stamps - HOTP Poppies,
- Distress Oxide Inks - Iced Spruce, Peeled Paint
Card #1:
For this first one, I used the Ornate Lace embossing folder with Iced Spruce ink. The greeting was from Instant Card Art - a doily & HD pieces finishes it.
Inside:
Border & greeting inside is from the HD set - gold strips are scraps from my stash.
Card #2:
Background made from linen-look card stock & iced spruce ink - same ink added to the doily. Gold mat is linen look from my stash; white frame is from my stash (cut with resplendent rectangles die); greeting, both here & inside, came from Debbi Moore; butterfly is sticker.
Inside:
Inside is simply more gold linen card stock scraps, pieces from the HD set, and a Debbi Moore greeting.
Card #3:
Red ripple holographic card stock forms the background mat. Background is from the HD set - but was sliced by the lower border to take out enough of the cream color so it fit the card. A piece of paper doily forms a mat that the HD focal & greeting sit on.
Inside:
A piece of cream colored paper from my stash was inked around the edges & forms the background for the greeting (stamped from a HOTP Poppies set). The decorative corners are from the set.
Card #4:
This slim line card was made using a piece from the card stock in the kit - as is with a mat of red mylar. I simply added the greeting & a couple small flowers (from the kit) to the border, and a butterfly sticker.
Inside:
Inside I used another strip of the card stock, but it was too narrow, so I added ribbon from my stash to form borders on either side.
Card #5:
Linen look white card stock colored with iced spruce forms the background. I used a straight-edged scrap to form an edge where I added more layers of the ink forming the darker rectangle at the bottom. Gold poster board forms a mat for the background & scraps were cut with a Botanical Accents die to form the decorative corners at the top. The focal & greeting are from the HD kit.
Inside:
Inside I have a piece of card stock colored with the iced spruce ink and gold scrap strips. The border & flower were from the set - gold pieces (innies from the front corners form added leaves).
Card #6:
Background is embossed (Damask) and colored with both iced spruce and peeled paint ink. Gold linen card stock scraps created the frame, mat for focal, and border strip. A piece cut out of the center of the circular doily turned it into an oval background for the flowers (from the set). The sentiment pieces were Instant Card Art.
Inside:
Gold linen scraps & a scrap strip from the card front go together with pieces from the set to create the borders. The word "celebrate" is Instant Card Art.
Since I already made 5 cards from another set in this kit (Floral Fancy), this brings my running total from my half of this kit to 11.
