I combined two of my favorite sets from this release, Seas the Birthday and Simply Stacked Sentiments to create a trio of cards. I used the same seahorse on all three stamping onto pieces cut with the matching free Cutables that Alma provides with each release. I then colored each seahorse with Copic Markers, matching up to the patterned papers used on each card.

For card #1, the image was attached to matted circle cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities using foam tape. I resized the tag from the Pop Up Slider Cutables and then cut out with my Silhouette. I attached the image circle to it with foam tape and added a cardstock tie at the top. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card  base underneath two strips of cardstock. A few enamel dots finished it up.

For the second card, I first cut the frame using one of favorite dies ever, County Fair CutUps. I covered up the grass portion of the die cut with a double wave of vellum and cardstock cut with the Wave Border.  I cut out the lower banner section and then backed the frame with patterned paper. The sentiment was stamped with Blue Jay directly onto the backing paper. I used the the two stitched banners to cut from patterned paper and placed onto the base portion of the banner. The framed piece was attached to the cardstock and patterned paper card base using foam tape. Lastly I attached the seahorse to the side of the frame also with foam tape and added a few enamel dots.

For the last card, I cut two tags from different patterned papers using one of the dies from the Luggage Tag CutUps. After securing the two tags together with ribbon and twine, the image was attached with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped with Hollyhock ink onto a piece cut with one of the dies from the Circus Panels CutUps. I then embossed one of the patterned paper strips with a bubbles design folder and then added a few enamel dots.
