HD Floral Favourites - Peony Postcard

Today I have a set of 7 cards made from a Hunkydory set called "Peony Postcard" from the kit called  "Floral Favourites (see picture above) along with various items from my stash.  I actually only have 1/2 the kit - as there were two of everything (Mom got the kit & shared half with me). You can see all 7 of the Peony Postcard cards below:

Here they are up close:

Card #1:


The gold frame & mat are poster board from my stash cut with cutting dies (5x7 Matting Basics & Captivating Squares - both from Spellbinders). A pink paper from my stash was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder (Kitchen Weave).  The rest is from the set.

Inside:


In addition to elements from the set, I added narrow strips of the gold poster board & a cut & embossed leaf from my stash.

Card #2:


This one is pretty simple - focal & border from the set is combined with a HD greeting from one of their little book of essential sentiments - and a bit of ribbon from my stash.

Inside:


Here I pieced together several scraps from the set to make a border - and added a little die cut.

Card #3:


Gold poster board frame & border strip combine with green mat & border strip to enhance this panel from the AS (Adorable Scoreable Card stock) from the set.  The sentiment is also from the set.

Inside:


Another piece of gold poster board & a strip of green ribbon form the backdrop for the sentiment (from the set) on the inside of the card.

Card #4:


Here I added a narrow scrap to the top of the cut panel of AS to create the backdrop for the peony die cuts (from the set) and die cut/embossed leaves (from my stash).  The sentiment is also from the set.

Inside:


Inside is a border strip & peony die cut - along with a scrap for the lower border (all from the set) - finished with a small cut/embossed leaf from my stash.

Card #5:


Here the background is a piece from a wallpaper book - with a strip of green suede paper from my stash.  The peony die cut (from the set) is combined with die cut leaves (double-sided peony die from Gemini/Crafter's Companion) and a small sentiment from an HD small essential sentiments book.

Inside:


Inside is a piece of cream colored paper from my stash - along with narrow border strips of the green suede paper.  The sentiment & peony from the set, along with more die cut leaves, finish it off.

Card #6:


Here I've once again taken a panel of the AS and added a strip of scrap from it to make the background for the die cuts that complete the card front.

Inside:

 

A border strip from the set was cut in two to form the top & bottom borders.  A tiny peony die cut completes it.

Card #7:


Here we have an A2 sized card.  The card front was embossed with a folder from HOTP called Lacy Border A2.  Then I just added die cuts from the set.

Inside:


Inside I have a small piece of coordinating paper on a gold poster board mat that was die cut using a Spellbinders die from the set called Romantic Rectangles Two.

Since I have previously made cards from other sets in this kit (see HD Floral Favorites-Heartfelt Wishes), this makes a total of 23 cards so far from this my 1/2 of the Floral Favourites kit.
