Santa Baby ACK Part 2

Today I continue with the Santa Baby ACK (Artful Card Kit).  Previously I've made 9 cards from this kit, so today I start with number 10.

Card #10 (see display view above):

Card Front:

This card is another bay window card. The card base is red foiled card stock.  I had trouble with splitting on the outside fold lines - so colored with a marker to hide where the white was showing through.  The focal is a download from Debbi Moore.  The thought bubble is from the ACK, but stamped with a HOTP small stamp set called Snowman.  I punched several snowflakes from white paper and spritzed them with sheer shimmer sparkle spritz.

Inside:


Coordinating paper from the ACK and a little embellishment from Debbi Moore completes this card.

Card #11:

Next up is a center step card - paper & lots of elements from the ACK.  The narrow red borders are cut from a larger border in the kit, and I added a narrow strip of white paper at the bottom.

Inside:

More papers & elements from the kit complete the inside.

Card #12:

For this card I started with a black card base & embossed the front using a Darice embossing folder called Scroll Background.  I cut the background paper into this shape using a template from Design Tool Kit #7 (from HOTP).  I backed a die cut from (from the kit) with a piece of white paper and added it.  Then I added the cutout (from the kit) on foam tape.  Finishing touches include 3 more die cuts - the tag & two snowflake circle elements, and a few rod-shaped black beads from my stash.

Inside:

Inside, I used the same template to cut a piece of white paper for a background.  Then I cut a border die cut (from the kit) for the border top & bottom.  It wasn't quite long enough, so I added the small circle die cut (from the kit) that you see in the top left-hand corner.
