sending love

 

• hunky-dory 'gift of love...' foil topper sheet
• patterned paper (found loose in my stash)
• 6x4" card blank

This card was so quick and easy to make, it would be perfect for a beginner. The hunkydory foiled toppers always make your cards feel very professional too.

To make this card, I folded my card blank and creased the fold. I cut my patterned cardstock to fit the front of the card, then glued in place using double sided tape.

If you don’t feel confident you can place it perfectly, you can cut the patterned cardstock slightly bigger than your card front and glue in place. Then, turn your card over and using scissors trim to size, using the edge of the card blank as a guide.

After this, I added the toppers and used foam tape/squares to add dimension, to make it feel more special. I chose to raise the frame for this card. You can either glue the frame down, then add the image in flat after. Alternatively, you could place the frame in the centre of your card without any glue, allowing you to position and glue the image topper inside. Once in place, you remove the frame, add your foam tape and glue it down using your centre as the guide.

It really is that simple!

Christmas couple

Hunkydory Snowy season luxury card collection: Christmas couple

Hunkydory adorable scorable cardstock

White ribbon

A5 white card blanks

For the first card, I cut the snowflake cardstock to cover the card front. I then tied a bow in the ribbon and wrapped this around the cardstock, before I glued it to the card to hide the cut ends and keep it all neat. To create space to allow the image topper to stand out, I die cut an oval from a coordinating plain lilac cardstock to sit inside the frame. I glued the image down onto the die-cut panel using low foam pads. I added the sentiment frame, raised on deeper foam to create dimension and edge the lilac panel. I glued this in position on the card front above the ribbon. I cut the insert down with the coordinating couple image and glued this inside to complete the card.

To create the second card, I used the lilac cardstock which complimented the snowflake paper and frame to soften the design. I pieced together the card front with the lilac panel at the top and a strip of the snowflake cardstock beneath. I covered the join with the border strip from the collection. I then glued the image and frame central to the top panel and added the sentiment topper to the middle of the snowflake panel, all using foam pads. Again, I finished the card with an insert, trimmed down to fit neatly inside.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

• Hunkydory Christmas classics Luxury card collection: Santa Claus is Coming to Town
• Hunkydory second little book of Christmas
• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• cardstock from various other Hunkydory collections
• silver mirri card
• A5, DL, 5x7", 6x4" & 6x6" white card blanks

For this DL card, I made a feature of the printed Santa image on one sheet of cardstock. I simply covered the card front with the cardstock and finished with a little sentiment from the collection. I added the coordinating section of insert to the inside of the card.

I used the remaining cardstock to cover this A5 card. I matted the little book page onto silver mirri card to create a topper and finished with an essential book sentiment. I trimmed the insert down to cover the inside of the card and add the message.

inside

I took the second sheet of cardstock from the collection and created this A5 card. I cut the cardstock to fit the card front, with the border across the base. I trimmed down the other coordinating little book image to fit neatly in the frame. I glued the image and frame to the centre of the top panel of cardstock. I found a message from the essential book to compliment the design and positioned this on the printed border. I added the insert to the inside of the card.

inside

I positioned the border vertically on this square card to ground the large sentiment. I cut the cardstock to fill the card front. I then added the sentiment topper overlapping the border edge. Beside the sentiment, I glued the Santa image topper. I trimmed the insert down to centre the message inside the card.

For this 5x7" landscape card, I pieced together an offcut of red cardstock from this collection alongside a neutral piece from another collection. I cut the cardstock to fit the card front, with a border strip covering the join. I added the little topper, edged with the same print as the border strip, off centre on the card. I completed the design with an essential book sentiment.

I used another of the small toppers from the collection, along with various offcuts of cardstock to create this 6x4" card. I pieced together the card front with a green strip of card from this set, edged with the coordinating red cardstock and border left over from another set. I positioned the essential book sentiment across the border at the top of the card and placed the long, thin Santa topper beneath on the green section.

Following the same design concept of using up remaining pieces of cardstock, I was able to make this 6" square card. The join between the cardstocks was edged with a fine green and gold ribbon this time, secured behind the cardstock panels before they were glued to the card front. I cut down a little book page to fill the frame, left over from this collection, to create the topper. I finished the card with the remaining sentiment, centred on the bottom border.

I found another piece of the cream cardstock used above, large enough to cover a 6x4" landscape card blank. I used a border strip to break up the plainer cardstock with a splash of colour. The topper chosen from the essential book sat across this border. I then angled the topper image onto the matching frame to create the focal point on the card.

For the final card, I arranged the remaining toppers and frame to create the design. I mat and layered the card front with mirri card and blue adorable scorable. I then glued the image topper on shallow foam pads in the centre. I added the frame raised up on deeper foam pads and overlapped the two with the sentiment in the corner.

O Holy Night

• Hunkydory Christmas classics luxury card collection: O Holy Night
• Gold mirri card
• A5 & DL card blanks

For the first A5 card, I cut the cardstock down to cover the card front. ( I have saved the other half of the sheet to use with another topper or little book image later!!) I then simply added the image and sentiment toppers on foam pads for dimension. I trimmed the coordinating insert down to fill the inside of the card and add the little printed verse to finish the card.

 I created the DL card to make a feature of the printed panel on the second sheet of cardstock. I simply cut this to fill the card blank and placed the little sentiment over the printed border.

For the A5 card, I covered the card blank with the silver mirri card. I then trimmed the scene printed on the cardstock from the collection to mat onto the front. I simply added a sentiment topper from the collection to complete the front. I also finished the inside of the card with the matching insert, trimmed to fit.

I used the other half of the patterned card stock as the background for this 6" square card. I trimmed the cardstock down to cover the card front. I then added one of the larger toppers from the collection, using foam pads for dimension. I chose to position a sentiment from the essential book beneath to finish the card.

For the 5" square cards, I found some coordinating pieces of cardstock left over from the various hunkydory Christmas collections I have used. I trimmed them to sit side by side, filling the card front. I edged the join between the cardstocks with silver ribbon. I then positioned the little image topper on foam in the larger panel. I finished the card with the matching sentiment tag, embellished with a ribbon bow to sit across the border.

This 5 x 5" card was also made with the offcuts of cardstock from other collections. Similar to the card above, the cardstocks were trimmed to fit on the card front. I edged this one with silver and aqua ribbons and tied a double bow for the tag. The little toppers were again glued down with foam pads.

Using the second sheet of cardstock from the collection, I created this 5x7" card. I cut the cardstock down to fit the card front, keeping the border on the folded edge. I then added the other large topper, with the coordinating edges. I positioned the essential book sentiment overlapping the topper to mirror the curved shaping of the top edge.

For this 7" square card, I used the remaining cardstock to back a little book image. I simply mat and layered the cardstock onto silver mirri to cover the card front. I added the little book image onto silver mirri to create the topper, which was glued to the card using foam pads for dimension. I covered the inside with the coordinating insert, trimmed to size.

For the 7 square card, I mat and layered the card front with gold mirri and the red printed cardstock. I then glued the image topper down flat, just above the centre on the card front. I added the frame surrounding the image and placed a sentiment beneath, raised on foam pads. I cut the insert sheet, with the coordinating image, down to fit inside the card.

inside

 

I created this 5x7" card using the printed image as the main feature. I trimmed the cardstock down and layered onto gold mirri to fit the card front. I finished it with a large decorative essential book sentiment. I added the insert to the inside, cut down to include the printed message.

inside

 

Using the other sheet of cardstock, I made this 5x7" card. I covered the card front with the cardstock, featuring the robin printed in the corner. I then positioned the image topper in the space above and nestled the sentiment beside the printed robin. The insert was trimmed down, so the inside matched the card front with a nice sentiment.

inside



I made the final card using the remaining cardstock and a complimentary little book image. I covered the A5 card blank with the cardstock. I then mat and layered the little book page onto gold mirri to create a topper. I added this to the card using foam pads, along with small sentiment from the collection. I used the other half of the insert sheet to finish the inside of this card.
