Gingerbread Foil ACK - Part 4

Today I have 3 more cards from the Gingerbread Foil ACK (Artful Card Kit - HOTP), bringing the total to 11 cards so far from this kit.  

Card #9 (above): Everything on this card is from the kit - though sometimes modified.  The circle that holds the tags was a leftover piece from a border that was used on a card a few days ago.  I trimmed the sentiment so that the edge of the paper around it formed the mat.

Inside:

Once again - all is from the kit.  I matted the tag on red paper.  Cut the border off of the star & replaced it, then added the last leftover circular piece from that border.

Card #10:

This card took some work to figure out.  I had the background on the card before I realized I didn't like the "Christmas" die cut on it because it didn't stand out well against such a busy background.  So - I made a border with the red paper & some silver strips from my stash.  Then I had to figure out what to do to finish the card.  I first die cut a "Merry" out of silver from my stash (die is Merry Christmas from HOTP), but it didn't stand out well either.  So, I cut it again out of white & glued that a bit offset from the silver so the silver looked a bit like a mat or shadow.  I finished the card front by adding the ornament with a small ribbon bow from my stash.

Inside:

Inside I used red patterned paper, a border piece cut in two, and some die cut silver stars - all from the kit.

Card #11:

This card would probably have been better if I had used less of the chevron paper at the bottom.  At any rate, after fussy cutting it and adding to the card front, I added a silver border from my stash.  The rest is from the kit except for the word "Very" which was a black Dazzles sticker that I colored with a silver Sharpie.

Inside:

For the inside I used a strip of the border paper - fussy cutting the top edge of the chevron.  I then layered that on silver card stock from my stash & finished by adding the banner die cut from the kit.
