Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop Broadway Bound

Welcome to the June Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop featuring amazing projects created with the Broadway Star kit that coordinates perfectly with the Broadway Bound Suite in the New 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.

You may have just come from Lisa's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey with me. I hope that you will enjoy our projects and that they will inspire you to create your own alternate projects with this month's kit.

Today I am sharing with you a pocket card that I created using supplies from the Broadway Star Paper Pumpkin kit and the Broadway Birthday stamp set (item #147067) from the new Annual Catalog. I used one of the black and white striped card bases from the kit and cut a 5 1/4" x 4" piece. Using Tear & Tape Adhesive, I applied the tape to the sides and bottom of the back of the striped cardstock and adhered it to a piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock cut to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

For the insert of the card, I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to slide inside the pocket (4 7/8" x 3 3/8"). Using Lovely Lipstick Embossing powder, I heat embossed the Wish sentiment from the Broadway Birthday stamp set onto the Whisper White cardstock and stamped the Make A sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To create the tab at the top, I used the Circle Tab Punch to punch out the tab from Basic Black cardstock. Folding the tab in half, I attached it to the top of the Whisper White cardstock with Snail Adhesive and tied a bow using the Black & Gold Twine included in the kit.

To decorate the front of the card, I used the die cuts included in the kit, including the Gold Foil Hooray and the birthday cake and candles. I attached the cake using Stampin' Dimensionals to provide extra dimension. The smaller sentiment from the Broadway Birthday stamp set has been heat embossed using Gold embossing powder onto Black cardstock and I punched it out using the Classic Label Punch. I used the Classic Label Punch to also punch out another shape from Lovely Lipstick cardstock, cut it in half and then attached it to the back of the sentiment with Snail Adhesive. I attached the sentiment to the card using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card, I added some of the Mini Pearls included in the kit to embellish the birthday cake.

This fun card design is a great way to step up the supplies in your kit and the Broadway Birthday stamp set from the Broadway Bound Suite, coordinates perfectly to provide you with additional options.

I hope you have enjoyed my alternate project for the June kit and I hope that it will help inspire your explore your own creations with the supplies in this kit and the new Broadway Bound Suite.

Ink & Share Blog Hop Summer

It's time for the Ink & Share Blog Hop and this month we are celebrating Summer. You may have just visited Sandrine's blog or perhaps you are starting your blog hop journey here with me. Summer is officially here in Colorado and I hope the projects that we will be sharing with you today will help inspire you.

I had a difficult time deciding what to create as there are so many wonderful things that I love about Summer. After much thought I decided to use the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper to create a card that reminds me of the wildflowers that can be seen in the Rocky Mountains when we visit this time of year. I chose to use Mint Macaron cardstock for my card base and I added a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock as a matte to the layer of pretty designer series paper. Doesn't it remind you of a field of wildflowers? I used a piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon (item #147016) to embellish the layer.

For the main focal point of the card, I die cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. I used the large background stamp from the Love What You Do stamp set (item #148042) to create the background with Mint Macaron Classic ink, first stamping off once on a scrap piece of paper before stamping onto the die cut oval. Using the large floral image, I stamped it with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder. I colored the flowers using a Blender pen and Rich Razzleberry Classic ink. I adhered this oval to a scalloped oval that I die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits dies and adhered it to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it over the ribbon.

To create the sentiment, I heat embossed it onto a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock using Gold embossing powder. I chose the Happy Birthday sentiment from the stamp set, You're Inspiring, because I thought the font fit the card perfectly. I used the Tailored Tag punch to flag the ends to create the look of a banner and attached it to the oval with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added two Rich Razzleberry pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls (item #146927) to embellish the sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my floral summer design and I hope it will inspire you to experiment with this amazing designer series paper to creat your own wonderful projects. There are so many beautiful designs in this paper pack that will provide you with so many possibilities.
