Summer Sorbet stamps and free Carried away papers

I used the Sale a Bration free Carried away papers as the background for this card
I then stamped each balloon from Summer Sorbet three times so that I could make the balloons 3d
I cut each balloon out making each layer smaller than the one before
Then I inked the edges and mounted each layer up on top of the previous one with dimensionals
the sentiment I added comes from the Beautiful You stamp set
I love the bold colours of this card!

Dragonfly Dreams and Hexagon embossing folder

I used the bees from the Dragonfly Dreams bundle to create this card along with the Hexagon embossing folder which I absolutely love it's so deeply embossed
The card is made as an easel card which means it stands up with no risk of falling over on the mantle piece or window sill where ever you place your celebration cards
I embossed the front panel and inked it up with ink and sponges
I die cut the bees once I had inked them up with Archival ink then coloured them using markers
I stamped spots and raised the front base panel up with dimensionals so that the card has a "stop" then added a sentiment from the same stamp set

Wilderness Awaits and Lovely as a Tree

I used the stag stamp from Wilderness Awaits set to create this card along with Lovely as a tree
Firstly I stamped the stag and stamped him again on a post it note to create a mask
I placed the mask over the stag and stamped the trees behind him
I then inked all around the stag using ink and sponges to create the background
I coloured the stag in using markers
I then stamped the sentiment from Blooms & Wishes and punched it out with the decorative label punch
I think this makes a great card for a man

Avant Garden

I used the Free Sale a Bration stamp set Avant Garden to create this card
I stamped the stems and leaves onto the largest label and then added flowers that I had stamped and cut out
I stamped the sentiment from the same set and punched it out with the decorative label punch
I stamped the spots onto the cart front then added the label and sentiment after sponging the edges with ink
I lastly added a flower below the sentiment

Awesomely Artistic

This card was created using stamps from Awesomely Artistic
I first die cut a layering circle from some smokey slate and drew around the aperture on the card front
I then inked grass and sky into the circle then stamped leaves in two shades of green
I then stamped a dragonfly onto the card and another onto a spare piece of cardstock so I could cut it out and add it on the outer edges of the circle
I added spots onto the smokey slate with always artichoke ink then added it to the card front
I stamped a sentiment from Butterfly Basics and punched it out with the decorative label punch and inked the edges with green ink
as its the first day of spring today I think this card fits the bill perfectly

from Land to Sea & Seaside embossing folder

I used the embossing folder "Seaside" to make the wavy background to this easel card
I inked it up with inks and sponges
I then stamped, inked and cut out various elements from the Land to Sea stamps, I cut out the Turtle and the Marlin twice creating a decopage look
unfortunately it is not easy to see this from the photograph

I die cut one panel from the swirly bird dies to create the reeds
The sentiment is from Dragonfly Dreams

Dragonfly Dreams Bundle

I used the free Sale a Bration papers as the background for this card and inked them up with inks and sponges
I then die cut two Dragonflies
I stamped a sentiment from Beautiful You and punched it out lastly inking around the edge
I think this would be good for a Mans card with the green and brown colourings
