Today I have 6 cards from this Hunkydory set (Patchwork Posy from HD Floral Favourites). The set had these materials - 1 sheet of AS (adorable scoreable card stock) and 1 1/2 sheets of die cuts (which I supplemented from my stash):
Here are the 6 cards and 3 tags that I made using these materials:
And here's a closeup look at each of them:
Card #1:
This first card, as you can see, is a slimline card. The main portion of the card is cut from the AS, but I pieced borders top and bottom from scraps from the die cut sheet. I added a couple sheer ribbons and a little greeting to finish the card front.
Inside:
Inside is a border strip that I pieced together, along with some of the smaller die cuts.
Card #2:
The background paper on this card is from my stash. I wrapped a piece of lace around it near the bottom for a border. I added a border strip from the set to a narrow strip of white card stock & then glued that in place on top of the lace. I did some fussy cutting on the focal - and colored the "red" bits with a pink marker to help them go a little better. I matted the focal on white card stock & fussy cut around it to form a narrow white border.
Inside:
As you can see, I just added a couple of strips of the patterned paper to form borders on the inside.
Card #3:
Next up is a doily card. A piece of the AS was cut a bit smaller than the card front, leaving room to add a border at the bottom. I fussy cut the focal piece so it didn't have red on it and so I could slip the greeting behind some of the flowers. This was then glued to the small doily and put in place in the center of the card. I added a few Jewel Dazzles in the bottom left corner and in the center of the bow on the focal (I colored the silver outline of them with a gold marker so they went a bit better). I also added 3 small jeweled dragonflies to the focal.
Inside:
I did a border strip on the inside - similar to what was on the outside, and added a couple of die cuts.
Tags:
To use up the scraps, I made the 3 tags you see in the above photo.
Card #4:
Here's another card with doilies on it. This time I used a colored card stock for the card base & embossed it with a Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I added a tag with a greeting from my stash and completed the card front with a couple of red rhinestones.
Inside:
A couple more strips of the pink card stock forms border strips on the inside. To this I added a sticker from my stash.
Card #5:
Here I have another doily card. I started with the lavender gingham paper and then added a large doily that I trimmed close to the edges of the card. I added another die cut bunch of flowers & a greeting - both from the set.
Inside:
Inside are some more of the smaller die cuts from the set - set on a piece of the lavender gingham.
Card #6:
One of the things I did with this set was to remove the butterflies from the things they were attached to. I did not care for the orange with the pinks. So, I put these 3 butterflies together with a die cut border strip from the set to make a card with orange shades on it. To flesh out the card front, I added a floral sticker from my stash and a ribbon bow.
Inside:
I would have liked to have another butterfly for the inside of the card, but there were only the three that I used on the card front. So I just made a quick border with the ribbon & a strip of gold card stock.
