Today I have 5 cards from a 2021 Hunkydory kit called Christmas Classics - the set called Goodwill to All. Here's a picture of the set I started with:
As you can see, it consists of two AS sheets (adoreable scoreable printed card stock) and one sheet of die cuts. The AS sheet on the left I refer to as the "blue" one, and the one on the right as the "red" one. It was interesting to note that the die cut sheet was quite a bit flimsier than the the 2016 one I used yesterday! I wonder if that's a change they've made across the board, or just for this kit. I'll have to take note and see! I didn't add much to this kit to complete my cards - a bit of white paper/card stock, a bit of gold card stock, and some sentiments from a Hunkydory Little Book of Essential Christmas Sentiments (LB).
Here are the 5 cards that I made:
Now for a closer look at each:
Card #1:
First up is an interactive gate fold card. I cut part of the blue AS to create background panels for the card front - after scoring and folding the card base as a gate fold card. Then I simply glued the frame to the left side (only) and the focal to the right side (only). Quick & easy!
Inside:
Here I took part of the border from the blue AS, fussy cut the green part off, and added it as a border at the top of the card. Then I added a couple of stamped verses. Both stamps come from Divinity Designs - the first from the set called Great Joy stamp/die duo, and the 2nd from their Christmas Card Scriptures set.
Card #2:
Next up is a really quick & easy card. The background is from the red AS. I backed one of the die cut frames with white & turned it on point - then added a die cut focal. The sentiment is from the LB of sentiments.
Inside:
Once again I used a border piece from the blue AS - again fussy cutting the green off (this time from the top). The sentiment is stamped from the CCC (Crafter's Companion Compendium) Believe in the Magic stamp set.
Card #3:
You probably recognize the background piece of blue AS by now - this time with the border intact. I matted the focal & sentiment on white before adding as you can see in the picture.
Inside:
This time the border piece on the inside does not have the green removed. The stamped greeting is again from CCC's Believe in the Magic stamp set.
Card #4:
I think this may be my favorite of the cards from this set. As you can probably figure out, the background came from the red AS sheet, but this time I overlaid it with a gold die cut lattice piece (Circles 3x8 by Cutting Edge). That dresses it up SO much! Then I just added two of the die cut pieces - one of which had a greeting already on it.
Inside:
Inside I used a piece of the leftover red AS & pieces from a cut-apart die cut frame to form borders top & bottom. The sentiment is again stamped with a stamp from CCC's Believe in the Magic.
Card #5:
This card front looks pretty elaborate, but it was really quite simple. The main part of it is cut from the red AS sheet - including the focal. I added a piece of cut-apart frame to the top to better fit the card base (same die cut frame as used on the inside of the previous card). Then I simply added a die cut sentiment toward the bottom and it was DONE!
Inside:
Inside I simply have a border piece and a stamped sentiment. This one is from an un-named & no brand name set I call simply Christmas Word Stamps.
And there you have it. Five cards from a pretty HD set.
