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 final card, I mat and layered the remaining cardstock onto gold mirri for the front of the A5 card blank. Again, I very simply glued the image and sentiment toppers in position using foam pads. I also cut the insert down to add the matching background and message to complete the card.

Merry Christmas my deer


  • Hunkydory festive elegance luxury card collection: Merry Christmas my deer
  • Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
  • Silver & rainbow mirri card
  • clear acetate
  • Pinflair ice diamonds sprinkles
  • doodlebug lily white glitter
  • 7x7", 6x6" & 5x5" card blanks
For this 7" square card, I created a shaker using a topper and frame from the collection. I mat and layered the card front with rainbow mirri and patterned cardstock. I then added the topper image onto the card, glued down flat. I cut acetate to fill the frame and sealed with foam tape. I added a mix of the pinflair sprinkles and doodlebug glitter onto the topper for the shaking element. I positioned the frame on top complete the shaker element. The little sentiment was added to the top corner on foam pads to complete the card. For the inside, I trimmed the insert to fit inside with the printed sentiment.

I used the remaining patterned cardstock to create this little 5" square card. I turned the paper so the border ran across the front and trimmed to cover the card blank. I added the deer image and sentiment toppers to the card which I made flat for posting. I trimmed the matching piece of insert down to complete the inside too.
inside

For the 6" square card, I matt and layered the silver mirri and patterned cardstocks onto the card front. I then positioned the topper with the deer onto the front, so the snowline continued from background to topper. I completed the front with a sentiment from the essential book.

The final card was created to feature the printed deer from this patterned cardstock. I simply trimmed it down to fit the 5x5" card, with a matt of silver mirri and finished with an essential book sentiment.

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.
inside

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.

  • Hunkydory little book of snowy scenes
  • Hunkydory essential book of Christmas sentiments
  • gold mirri card
  • A5, 7x7" & 5x7" white card blanks
 
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.

  • silver mirri card
  • A5, DL, 5x7" & 5x5" white card blanks


For the A5 card, I mat and layered one half of the cardstock on silver mirri to fill the card front. I then simply added the image topper offset on the card, using foam for dimension. I trimmed down the insert to have the matching image inside with the printed sentiment.
inside

I cut the other end of the cardstock down to make this DL card. I mat and layered the tree image onto silver mirri and glued to the card front. I finished with one of the long thin toppers on foam pads. Again, I trimmed the matching insert piece down to fit inside.
inside

I used a section of the other printed cardstock in the collection to create this 5x7" card. I carefully cut the cardstock down to fill the card front, with the border running across the bottom of the card. I then added the image central to the main section of the card, with the sentiment overlapping the border edge. I added the coordinating insert to the inside of the card.
inside

 For the first 6" square card, I made a feature of the decorative borders to enhance this topper. I began with the inside of the card, with a cut off border on the outer edge of the card, alongside a section of the insert. I cut away a reveal, then added the cardstock with the border to cover the remaining card front. I finished with the image and sentiment toppers on foam pads, leaving the gap for the sentiment to overhang the card front.
inside

For the final card, I pieced together the offcuts as a background. I covered the join between the cardstock with the coordinating border strip. To complete the card, I added the sentiment topper to one side of the border and centred the image topper on the other section, both raised on foam pads.

For this A5 card, I trimmed the other half of the cardstock to fit the card front. I then added the large circle topper to the centre. I chose an essential book sentiment and positioned it in the corner overlapping the border. I used the remaining insert to fill the inside of the card.
inside
I used the little robin topper to create this 6x4" card. I trimmed the cardstock down to fill the card front, with the border running across the base of the card. I then simply positioned the robin on foam pads off centre. I found a sentiment from the essential book with the same shaping to compliment the image and glued this in place. I trimmed the coordinating insert down, adding the blank piece to the inside of this card.
inside
I created the final card to make a feature of the printed image on the cardstock. I simply cut it to fill the front of a 6x4" card. I added the border strip to fill the space beside the robin and ground the sentiment. I glued the sentiment tag on foam pads, with a silver ribbon bow tied as a finishing touch. For the inside of the card, I carefully trimmed the insert down to include the message and border.
