Little Birdies ACK - Part 3

Today I finished up the Little Birdies Artful Card Kit (HOTP).  I got a total of 15 cards from the partial kit I had left when I started this a week or two ago. 

Card #11 (above): For this card I took some red foil tape I had and put it across the top & bottom of the card front.  Then I embossed it with the Damask embossing folder (Darice).  Next I added narrow washi tape top and bottom of the red.  Finally, I added my die cuts from the kit.

Inside:

Inside I made the border in the same way as the front - except for the embossing.  Then I added a die cut flower from the kit to complete the inside.

Card #12:

Here I took the green paper from the kit for the background, bordered it with narrow washi tape, and then added die cuts from the kit.

Inside:

Inside I just melded several die cuts (and the scrap of border die cut left over from the card front) into a grouping in the lower right corner.

Card #13:

I found some pink vellum from my stash to back the leftover piece of patterned paper I had, then added die cuts.  The bird is raised slightly above the frame using foam tape.  I didn't get a picture of the inside.  It was just a strip of the vellum with a small flower die cut.

Card #14:

For this one I started with the green paper & washi tape.  Then I backed the focal die cut with an embossed circle from my stash that I hit with a bit of gold ink.  The smaller flowers form a bit of a border between strips of washi tape and washi tape also forms a bit of a hanger for the circle.

Inside:

Inside is just more of the same.

Card #15:

This last card again uses the green paper from the kit - along with narrow washi tape & die cuts from the kit.

Inside:

After creating border strips with the same green & washi tape, I added the die cut flower and called it done.

That's it!  NOTHING left over.  Every die cut & scrap of paper from the kit has been used!  YAY!
