It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

• Hunkydory snowy season luxury card collection: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
• Hunkydory little book of snowy scenes
• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• Hunkydory cardstock (offcuts from the other collections)
• Hunkydory adorable scorable cardstock
• silver mirri card
• mama elephant union square creative cuts die
• sizzix scallop square framelits die
• white ribbon & bakers twine
• A5, 7x7", 5x7"  6x6", 5x5" & 6x4" white card blanks

For the 7" square card, I mat and layered the card front with silver mirri card and the cardstock with the border feature. I added the tree topper to the main section of the cardstock and angled the essential book sentiment tag on top. The tag was raised on foam and embellished with a knot of ribbon. I cut the insert down so the inside coordinated with the background card on the front.

I designed this A5 card using the large snow globe topper with some  other cardstock I found, to allow the image to stand out. I chose the adorable scorable cardstock to match the off cut of swirls cardstock, (from another collection) which I though complimented the colours in the topper. I cut the panels of cardstock to fit the card front, edging the swirls border with silver mirri to create a neat join. I positioned the image and sentiment toppers onto the card, using foam pads for dimension.

For this little 6x4" card, I made a feature of the printed image on the cardstock from this collection. I simply trimmed the cardstock to size, so it would fill the card front. I then wrapped the bakers twine around and secured at the back, before gluing down. I tied the twine in a bow and finished with the essential book sentiment placed off centre across the twine. I added the matching insert, cut to fit inside.

I made this 5x7" card with the remaining printed scene cardstock in this collection. I found a little book image where the scene on the page matched the background cardstock. I simply matted the page onto silver mirri card to create a topper. I glued this to the card front, which I had covered with the cardstock. Again, I trimmed the coordinating insert down to fit inside the card, this time featuring the printed sentiment.

I also created this cute little 5" square card using a little book page and the remaining cardstock from this set. I covered the card front with the snowflake cardstock. I die cut a frame from silver mirri card, then cut the little book page to sit neatly inside. I glued these onto the card flat, making a card which is perfect for posting! I finished the inside with the printed sentiment section of the insert, die cut to create a scalloped edge square to compliment the front.

With this final topper, I felt that the colours of the little girls outfit didn't really suit the cardstock in the collection. I therefore made this 6x6" card using some patterned cardstock I had remaining from a previous hunky-dory Christmas set. I mat and layered the cardstock onto silver mirri for the card front. I then positioned the image and sentiment toppers on, using foam pads for dimension.

festive forest

 

• Hunkydory cute christmas luxury card collection: festive forest
• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• Hunkydory little book of snowy scenes
• Hunkydory luxury card collections (various offcuts of cardstock from other sets)
• silver mirri card
• silver & aqua ribbon
• A5, 7x7", 5x7", 6x6" & 5x5" card blanks

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.

Let it snow

• Hunkydory snowy season luxury card collection: Let it snow
• Hunkydory the little book of snowy scenes
• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• A5, 5x7", 7x7" & 6x6" card blanks
• Silver mirri card
• Silver ribbon

I began with the 7" square card, using the largest topper. I cut down the patterned cardstock to fit the card front with a mat of mirri. I kept the embellished corner and positioned it to the base fold of the card. I then used the frame from the other topper and glued this down flat. I added the image topper layered on top of the frame with foam pads to add dimension. I completed the card with a sentiment from the little book, as this was a more fitting shape than the sentiments provided in the collection. The inside was completed with an insert, trimmed to fit.

I used the off cut from this cardstock to create a 5x7" card. I simply matted the cardstock onto the card, again retaining the corner embellishment. I created a topper by layering a trimmed down a little book image onto silver mirri card. I glued this onto the card with a sentiment from the collection. I added the insert to finish the inside.

For the A5 card, I cut down the other patterned cardstock to fit the card front. I positioned the topper to sit below the sleigh print, using foam pads for dimension. I used a little book sentiment, positioned beneath on foam pads to complete the card. I took the coordinating insert and trimmed to fit for the inside of the card.

inside

 

With the final card, I created a 6" square card combining pieces from each of the patterned cardstock. I used the printed image from the darker cardstock as the main section of the card. I then trimmed down an off cut of the lighter cardstock to create a border, edged with silver ribbon. I added the sentiment tag to sit over the border and finished with a silver ribbon bow.

Christmas greetings

 

• Hunkydory  Christmas classics luxury card collection: Christmas greetings 
• Hunkydory the second little book of Christmas
• Gold mirri card
• 5x7" & 6x4" kraft cardblanks

For the first 5x7" card, I cut down the cardstock to fit the card front with a mat of gold mirri card. I positioned the border to the base of the card and added the topper above. I glued the centre piece down flat, then raised the surrounding frame. I also raised the sentiment on foam pads, which I placed  on the border edge.

 

For the second 5x7" card, I followed the same steps to mat the cardstock onto the card front with the mirri border. I then created a topper using the coordinating little book image. I matted this onto gold mirri and glued flat to the card, making it perfect for posting.

With the other patterned cardstock from this collection, I was able to create three 6x4" cards. I made the first using the image section of the cardstock, trimmed down with the border edge to fit the card front. I simply finished the card with a sentiment from the collection, positioned across the border.

 

For the second 6x4" card, I filled the card front with the patterned cardstock. I then added the topper centre piece flat and completed with the frame raised on foam pads.

 

 

I created the final card using a border strip and coordinating topper pieces. I covered the card front with the patterned cardstock, leaving a border of the kraft cardblank. I trimmed the border strip to size and glued this down the length of the card. I then added the the oval topper and frame to the side of the border, with the sentiment topper beneath.
