pretty poinsettia


  • Hunkydory Christmas classics luxury card collection: pretty poinsettia
  • Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
  • gold mirri card
  • red & gold ribbon
  • 8x8" & 6x4" portrait and landscape kraft card blanks
 I used the main topper from the collection for the large square card. I mat and layered the printed cardstock onto gold mirri for the card front. I then added some of the decoupage layers onto the topper to create dimension. To complete the card, I simply glued the topper onto the card front and added the coordinating insert to the inside.

For the 6x4" cards, I made a feature of the decorative corners on the other sheet of cardstock from the collection. I cut the cardstock to fit the card front. I then added some of the remaining decoupage layers to build up the floral border across the card. I finished with the sentiment tag and a little ribbon bow.
I repeated the same design, using the corner of the cardstock, this time sitting on a landscape card. For this card, I used an essential book sentiment, glued down with foam pads in the space above the decoupage. I trimmed the insert down to mirror the design on the card front and glued this inside to complete the card.

we three kings

  • Hunkydory festive elegance luxury card collection: we three kings
  • gold mirri card
  • A5 & DL cardblanks
For the A5 card, I mat and layered the card front with gold mirri and the patterned cardstock. I then layered the topper image using half of the decoupage pieces to add some dimension. I centred this onto the main panel of cardstock, with the sentiment topper centralised on the border strip.
I used the printed image from the offcut of cardstock to create this DL card. I layered this using the remaining decoupage pieces to add the mirri accents and dimension. I simply glued the cardstock onto a mat of mirri and positioned the circle sentiment topper on foam to complete the card.
I have a full sheet of patterned cardstock remaining from this collection, which I will used at a later date with the little book images, or coordinating toppers from other collections.

cosy christmas

  • Hunkydory christmas classics luxury card collection: cosy Christmas
  • Hunkydory little book of Christmas
  • Hunkydory essential book of christmas sentiments
  • A5 & 5" square cards
For the first A5 card, I cut the patterned paper to fit the landscape card blank. I added the image topper, then positioned a coordinating sentiment from the essential book to sit on the border of the cardstock.
I trimmed down the remaining cardstock to fit a little square card. I used the image topper in its frame and a sentiment beneath to finish the front of the card.
I used the other patterned cardstock to create this A5 card. I took the frame from the collection and trimmed the matching image from the little book to sit inside. I glued this down with a sentiment topper beneath to complete the card.
For the final card, I covered the card front with the insert sheet from the set to create a soft background. To make the topper, I cut down the image from the patterned cardstock to sit inside the largest frame. I glued the image down flat, with the frame and border beneath on foam pads for dimension. I completed the card with the little sentiment in the top corner, again on foam.
