TGIF Challenges 247 Happy Birthday

Happy Friday to all of you! I am so glad that the weekend is upon us and I am sure the kids are too. There will be much folding and cleaning this weekend as it seems that everyone has forgotten how to fold the laundry or even bring it to the laundry room to be washed. The Christmas Tree needs to be put away as well... it is undecorated, and WAY earlier than years past!

Today I am designing with the TGIF Challenges Design team with a fun Happy Birthday challenge. It has been so hard for me to create anything but Valentines this last week as that is what my focus will be for class this weekend. Let me show you what I have made.

I started this card with the "Hooray" sentiment from Broadway Birthday. This was created using my Stamparatus and the Hinge Step technique. Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody, Grapefruit Grove and Terracotta Tile was used on Whisper White card stock. Then I used the scalloped rectangle from the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut it out. This is layered over 2 pieces of the Birthday Bonanza DSP. A stitched circle of Daffodil Delight to hold my sentiment banner and my party supplies from Broadway Birthday are layered over a bit of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle. What's a birthday without some sequins? The Metallic Bakers Twine & Sequins Combo pack from the Sale A Bration catalog worked out great. A Bermuda Bay card base with Grapefruit Grove Mat made this card really pop!! Oops! Did I mention the Wink Of Stella!? It is on the party supplies!! I have provided a close up below! 

I can't wait to see what you create with this amazing birthday theme. Thank You so much for stopping by today! I hope you have an amazing weekend! 

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Broadway Star Blog Hop

It is A Paper Pumpkin Thing Thursday! Where myself and a bunch of Stampin' Up! Friends get together to show you alternate ideas for each months kit! This months kit was SUPER awesome! Why?? Well because this months kit coordinated with the Broadway Bound Suite in the Annual Catalog. Usually I share the projects that are submitted to Paper Pumpkin for their blog post or at least one... but I loved this kit so much I wanted to make MORE!!!

The fabulous color combination of Lemon Lime Twist, Lovely Lipstick, Basic Black and Gold is so much fun! The DSP alone screams SASS! We all know I have a little girl with a WHOLE lot of Sass! Let me show you my projects.

I knew the minute I opened the pack of Broadway Bound DSP that the large Gold Foil Polka Dot was begging to made into a large tote! It actually took up a WHOLE sheet!! With Lovely Lipstick Starburst Punch corners and a Lemon Lime Twist and White Stripe matted with Lovely Lipstick border, I am sure I would find this the next time I was at the mall! I did a nice closure with the card base from the Paper Pumpkin kit and tied a nice Gold Cord bow adorned with nice Cake Tag made from elements of the kit! 

My card came along nice and easy! I received an email from Splitcoast Stampers with a tutorial of the card base from Dawn Olchesfke. I used a Lemon Lime Twist Base then used the card base for the pattern on the front. I added a belly band to keep the card closed and added the Gold Foil Hooray from the kit. When it opens the stamped sentiment is from the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set. It was stamped on an envelope from the kit and accented with a few of the balloon stickers much like the front!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I can't wait for you to see what the rest of my friends have come up with! You can tour the whole hop by clicking through the list below!

A GIVEAWAY to take Paper Pumpkin Broadway Bound

Saturday in the craft room!!! If you caught my Facebook live yesterday, I received my first BIG Annual Catalog Order. I showed off all the fun new things that I chose to order including the Broadway Bound Suite!!! Did you know that this suite coordinates with June's Paper Pumpkin??? The bundle and DSP in this suite are absolutely FABULOUS, so I am sure you will want the Paper Pumpkin Kit!

I am going to be honest the catalog doesn't give this paper enough credit, anything with Gold Foil polka dots with Lovely Lipstick and Lemon Twist is a winner in my eyes but then on top of that you add the Basic Black! Another great added feature for this suite is the fact that some of the dies cut the shapes of the DSP.

I must confess I got a bit crazy when I realized this Framelit from the Broadway Lights Framelights cut the party hats! How cool is that?? So I decided to take my party hats and my Metallic Sequin Assortment and make a shaker card!

So obviously the card started with my shaker element. There is a great die that cuts the frame which is shown here in Lovely Lipstick, it has small holes for you to add the Metallic Pearls to give a studded look. This takes a little while to do. Once I had the frame cut I adhered it to a small piece of Window Sheet and fussy cut to fit my frame. The Foam Adhesive Strips are amazing for shakers and fit perfectly behind the frame. I chose a piece of  Broadway Bound Specialty DSP for the backing to my shaker and again fussy cut it to fit behind the frame.  My shaker bits are the die cut party hats I mentioned above with sequins from the Metallic Sequin Assortment. A nice bow using the Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon is tied around a coordinating sheet of Broadway Bound Specialty DSP and Lemon Lime Twist Matte. I wasn't quite done at this point. The Lemon Lime Twist Wish die cut is also in this bundle, I have cut it twice for some added dimension. To finish this card I stamped the "Make A" with Lemon Twist Ink and made like tab above the shaker using the Detailed Trio Punch. A couple more party hats and this card was complete!

This suite was so much fun to work with and I can't wait to see how it coordinates with this months Paper Pumpkin! Don't forget to get signed up no later than 1159 PM MDT tomorrow!
