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.

 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.

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.

I stamped the image and sentiment onto Neenah cardstock. I coloured the image with copics, following the colour challenge for inspiration. I then die cut this using the centre of the die and cut three frames from black cardstock to layer up around the image. I cut a mat of black to fit across the card blank and a layer of patterned paper. I then glued these in place, along with the frames and slotted the image matt inside to complete the sketch. For the finishing touch, I added glitter to the wings.

I cut a mat of paper to fit my card blank and glued this down as a background. I then die cut the different shapes and words from coordinating coloured papers. I glued these into a stack and backed them with cardstock for stability. I then wrapped twine around the top and secured it with a bow. finally, I glued this topper to the card  using foam.
