Today's cards come from an old HOTP Artful Card Kit (ACK) called Daydreams. Five years ago I made a card from this kit which I posted here. Today I have 6 more cards from the kit - with plenty of materials left over for a "Part 3".
Card #1:
This first card is a slimline card. I matted the background paper with black, added a die cut border piece from the kit and layered a sticky-backed bead border on top. I added some HOTP stickers to the tag and glued it to the dream catcher focal (both from the kit). A silver sequin appears to attach it in place. I added an arrow die cut in the lower right corner, then a sprinkling of black beads to finish the card front.
Inside:
Don't ask me why I didn't mat the piece of patterned paper on the inside - it just slipped my mind as I was too focused on creating the border from scraps of black paper & the rest of the border die cut - no beads on the inside! The stamped sentiment is from Crafter's Companion Compendium (CCC) - the page called Thinking of You.
Card #2:
Once again I matted the background with black. After adding the rest of the die cuts I had put with this paper, I added a couple of alphabet stickers to form the word "HI", and then some Jewel Border Dazzles to create a bit of a frame.
Inside:
The border is scraps of black & patterned paper - with 3 diamond die cuts punched out from the border on the inside of the previous card. Then I just added a stamped greeting (another from CCC's Thinking of You).
Card #3:
A floral print and a plain black paper form the backdrop for this focal - a die cut label topped with a cut out and die cut flowers - all but the black paper is from the kit.
Inside:
Scraps form the foundation of the border for the inside - a scrap of black layered with a scrap of the floral pattern, layered with a cut out - all from the kit. I stamped the cutout with a CCC stamp from the Birthday-Female page.
Card #4:
One corner of this patterned paper makes a great background & focal image combined when I mat it with black paper from my stash. I added a stamped greeting (CCC - Birthday-Male) and a couple of die cuts to completed the card.
Inside:
Once again I used a scrap of patterned paper for a border on the inside - this time adding a cutout from the kit.
Card #5:
This time I used the opposite corner of the paper to form the background - once again matted with black from my stash. I used a strip cut from patterned paper & matted with black to form an upper border. A cutout from the kit forms the focal - embellished with a couple of die cut flowers (also from the kit). A small cut out greeting in the upper left corner completes the card front.
Inside:
Inside I used the remaining scrap of this patterned paper, matted with black, to form a border that the die cut tag sits on. I added Dazzles to it to create the message and a flower Dazzle sticker to "attach" the tag to the border.
Card #6:
This final card is a slimline card - as you can see. I combined scraps from two papers for the background, and added a black ribbon border before matting it with black. A cutout sentiment and die cut flowers - both from the kit - complete the card front.
Inside:
On the inside I have more of the floral paper with black from my stash to create a border. To this I've added a cut out and a die cut flower. Voila'! 6 more cards from this kit.
