owl be home again for christmas

• Hunkydory cute Christmas luxury card collection: owl be home for Christmas
• Hunkydory adorable scorable cardstock
• 6x6" & 5x5" card blanks

I created the 6" square card using a background of red adorable scorable card. I trimmed the printed image from the cardstock down to fit inside the frame. I glued the image down flat then added the frame and sentiment on foam pads to complete the card with some dimension.

For the smaller card, I used the opposite corner of the patterned cardstock with the other image and made a feature of this. I simply trimmed to fit the card front, leaving room down the folded edge for a strip of the contrasting cardstock. I covered the join with the border from the collection and added the sentiment topper to the bottom corner to finish the design.

• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• silver mirri card
• DL & 7x7" card blanks

I created the first square card using the rectangular topper and frame. I covered the card front with the cardstock, placing the border down the folded edge.

For the DL card, I used the remaining cardstock with the printed image as the focus. I simply trimmed down the cardstock to mat and layer on silver mirri for the card front. I added a sentiment from the essential book and trimmed the coordinating insert down to complete the card.

I used the circle topper and frame on the other cardstock in the collection to create this 7x7" card. I trimmed the cardstock down to sit with a small border of silver mirri on the front of the card. I then placed the topper and frame off centre, using foam to add dimension. I added the sentiment in the space beside it to complete the card. Again, I trimmed the insert down to fit inside the card.

• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• Hunkydory adorable scorable cardstock
• gold mirri card
• red & white bakers twine
• 8x8" & 6x4" landscape card blanks

I used the largest topper with the scalloped frame to make this 8" square card. I covered the card blank with the coordinating coloured adorable scorable card. I then mat and layered the yellow cardstock from the collection onto gold mirri card, to create a base for the toppers. I positioned the image and frame central to the mat, with the image raised up on foam pads. I then completed the front using the scalloped sentiment overlapping in the bottom corner, again glued with foam pads. I trimmed down the matching insert to fit the inside of the card.

For the first 6x4" card, I used the oval toppers. I covered the card front with the cardstock featuring the border strip. I then layered the toppers on, slightly overlapping with different depths of foam to create dimension.

I created the second 6x4" card to feature the printed image on the remaining cardstock. I simply matted the cardstock onto gold mirri card, to fit the front of the card blank and finished with an essential book sentiment.

Using the other sheet of patterned cardstock, I created the final card. I trimmed down the section with the characters to fit the card front. I then added two strands of bakers twine and wrapped them underneath the cardstock and secured in position, before gluing to the card blank. I finished the card with a tag sentiment from the essential book, angled on foam pads and embellished with a twine bow.

driving home for Christmas

• Hunkydory snowy season luxury card collection: driving home for Christmas
• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• A5 landscape & 6x6" card blanks

I created this landscape A5 card using the large topper from the collection. I cut the patterned cardstock in half and removed the snowy border. I then cut the striped border from the remaining half a sheet of cardstock. I added the main piece of cardstock to the front of the card and trimmed off the end of the card blank to reveal the inside of the card. I then added the other matching border inside the card, to sit neatly in the reveal. I used half of the decoupage layers on foam to add dimension to the topper. To complete the card front, I simply positioned the topper image along with an essential book sentiment raised up on foam pads.

For the second card, I made a feature of the printed image on the cardstock. I trimmed down the cardstock to fit the front of a 6" square card. I then layered on the coordinating border across the top, raised on foam. I also layered the car with the remaining decoupage pieces to give this dimension and mirri accents. I completed the card with the sentiment topper from the set in the space above the car and the insert trimmed to fit inside.

inside

I felt the best use of the toppers in this decoupage style collection was to make two nice cards. I still have a full sheet of cardstock left over from this collection, which I will use later with either the little book images or some extra toppers from other collections.

• Hunkydory festive elegance luxury card collection:Winterland walk
• Hunkydory the little book of snowy scenes 
• Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
• 7x7" & 5x7" white and black card blanks

I created the large square card using the rectangular topper and frame. I trimmed down the cardstock and matted it onto the card front, retaining the border of street lamps on the right. I then added the image topper on flat, with the frame and sentiment raised on foam pads to give the card dimension.

inside

For the first 5x7" card, I used the other printed cardstock from the collection and layered on the front of a black card blank. I then added the little square topper flat and raised the frame on foam pads to complete. Since the frame is printed with 'Happy Christmas', I didn't add a separate sentiment.

inside

For the second 5x7" card, I used a white landscape card blank covered with sections from each cardstock. I used the trees for the top half and the darker print beneath, edged with the holographic foiling which had originally edged the border section on the sheet. I then positioned the image topper onto the card, along with the sentiment.

inside

For the final card, I took the remaining piece of cardstock, printed with snowfall and a moon. I used an image sheet from the little book backed with silver mirri card to create a topper. I layered this on an angle with a little book sentiment to complete the card. The colours in the image compliment the background to work well together, despite coming from different collections.

The north pole

• Hunkydory cute Christmas luxury card collection: the north pole
• 8x8" & 6x6" card blanks
• Gold mirri card

For the 8" card, I cut a mat of mirri card to fit the card front. I then trimmed the cardstock down and layered this onto the card, with the border down the folded edge. I then added the snow globe topper and sentiment on foam pads to create dimension.

inside

I created the first 6" card using the other patterned cardstock from the set. The decoupage layers for the snow globe fit the printed images on this sheet. I cut the card to sit on the card front with a mat of mirri card. I then layered up the santa and added the north pole beside him to add the mirri shimmer, give the card dimension and complete the scene. The finishing touch was a sentiment above.

inside

I used the remaining cardstock for the final card. I trimmed the border to sit across the base of the card and glued it down flat. I then measured and cut the printed North pole piece to fill the space above. I then added the postcard topper, positioned to be framed by the north pole sign.

festive treats

 

• Hunkydory festive elegance luxury card collection: festive treats
• Hunkydory second little book of Christmas
• Silver mirri card
• A5, DL and 6x6" card blanks
I made the first A5 card using the little topper squares from the collection. I covered the card front with the bright patterned card, cutting the section with the bow print to fit. I then spaced out the four square toppers in the mid section of the card and glued with foam pads. I added the matching insert inside to complete the card.

inside

 Using the other half of the cardstock to create this 6" square card. I turned the sheet on its side so the pattern ran as a border down the side and trimmed to fit the card front. I then added the large rectangular topper, with the sentiment overlapping.

I used a coordinating sheet from the little book to make this A5 card. The rectangular frame worked well to edge the little book image and create separation from the patterned card stock. I covered the card front with the patterned card, then glued the image flat and the frame on foam. I finished the inside with the coordinating insert.

inside

For this DL card, I used the remaining patterned cardstock and another of the square toppers. The image was printed on the cardstock, so I simply trimmed it down to fit on the DL card with a border of silver mirri card. I completed with the sentiment topper on foam in the space above the image and the insert trimmed to fit inside.

Merry Christmas, sausage!

• Hunkydory cute Christmas luxury card collection: Merry Christmas, sausage!
• 7x7", 6x4" & DL card blanks
• Gold mirri card

I created this 7" square card using the largest topper from the set. I mat and layered the patterned cardstock and gold mirri onto the card front. I then positioned the topper on using foam pads, so the scarf border on the topper lined up with the dog on the backing card. I completed the card with the coordinating sentiment from the set, overlapping the topper on deeper foam pads.

inside

Using the other piece of patterned cardstock, I created the DL card. I chose the DL format as it fit both borders on, I simply cut the cardstock to fit the card front. I then added the oval topper and large sentiment on foam pads for dimension. I completed the inside with the matching insert trimmed to fit.

inside

For the 6x4" card, I cut down the remaining cardstock to fit the front of the card, this time removing both borders. I then layered the bottom border onto the card with foam pads to create dimension. I added the square topper above the border on foam pads to complete.
