lift me Up stamp's and Up & Away thinlets

 Today I have four examples using the Lift Me Up stampset and the Up & Away thinlets with words from the Hostess set Dare to Dream

In each of the cards I have sponged the background to create the grass and sky then added stamped clouds and die cut clouds
I then stamped and die cut some hot air balloons including the filigree one which I think is stinning and added them to the scene
The smaller balloons I have lifted up with dimensionals

Lastly I added the sentiments from the "Hostess" stampset Dare to Dream I love the fonts and the sentiments in this set
I love how each card looks different just by switching the colours

Vintage Leaves

 I have used Vintage Leaves and the co-ordinating framelets along with the dynamic Hexagons embossing folder to create these two cards
in the first card I used the label punch with a sentiment from Number of Years
in the 2nd card I have used a framelets from Lots of Labels
in both cards I have inked up the embossed design and also inked the edges of the leaves

Cool Treats, Frozen Treats Framelets and Lots of Labels framelets

 Today I have three cards using some yummy summery stamps

 I have created three cards using the Cool Treats stamps and the Frozen Treats framelets
If the stamps are small and  polymer I find it easier to cut out the framelets first then add the corresponding stamp I know you are supposed to do it the other way around but this works for me

I used the Lots of Labels framelets as my background and I have inked the edges on all the cards
The background papers on the first two cards is from some retired stuff no longer available

The last card I stamped the cool wording all over the back ground first before adding the labels and the ice cream and spoon

High Tide and the Seaside embossing folder

This card uses the High Tide stamps set along with the Seaside Embossing Folder
I first embossed some card with the folder and then added ink creating sea and sky I then stamped on the birds
I then inked up the lighthouse stamps on another piece of card adding the rocks and grasses
I then cut around the lighthouse and added them to the background using stampin dimensionals
lastly I added a sentiment from Colourful Seasons and cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals
I really love how it came out

Birthday Blossoms

This card was created by first sponging ink through a circle template directly onto the card
I then stamped several flowers and leaves from the Birthday Blossoms stampset and added ink to make them more interesting I punched out the flowers using the Pansy punch then cut the leaves out freehand
I then added the leaves and flowers around the circle with dimensionals
lastly I added a sentiment from the same stampset

Colourful Seasons and Seaside embossing folder

This card uses the Colourful Seasons Bundle
I die cut the chairs and the drinks from the
co-ordinating dies then I embossed some card with the Seaside embossing folder I then inked up the background using inks and a sponge
The sentiment was stamped then fussy cut and ink was added to the edges
Bring on the Summer!

Colourful Seasons

I made this card for my sister who goes on holiday to celebrate her birthday and her wedding Anniversary
I used the colourful seasons stampset and the grasses from High Tide
