Back on Broadway

August 13, 2018 By Mary Haugen

I’m back today with another Broadway Bound Suite project. What can I say, I REALLY like this suite!

Isn’t that marquee framelit die awesome! It has holes in it for perfect placement of the metallic pearls. And, can we talk about the Lemon Lime Twist striped paper!? LOVE IT!! The bold stripes are a great base for the marquee greeting. The photopolymer stamps make lining up the greeting a breeze.

Well, I guess I better get back to work packing up two kids to move off to college later this week. So, that’s a wrap for now. Happy Stamping!

inky friends: suite designs blog hop

August 10, 2018 By Mary Haugen

Welcome back! I excited to be part of My Inky Friends Suite Designs Blog Hop! This time we are putting a spotlight on various product suites in the 2018-19 Stampin’ Up! catalog. I am thrilled to put the broadway Bound suite center stage! (I know, you are all so surprised that i would pick that suite. What can I say? Somethings are just meant to be!) This dramatic suite can be found on page 69.

Let’s start with this fun project pairing.

Who wouldn’t love to get a birthday treat like this. The gold foil in the Broadway Bound designer series paper brings out that Broadway sparkle!

First off how awesome is this cupcake topper? A bit of gold glimmer paper punched with the Starburst punch makes a great base for the fun greeting. A few gold Metallic Pearls are a great finishing touch.

The gold shimmer cut from the Broadway Lights Framelits balloons make this a great coordinating card for the cupcake treat.

This next pair of projects Brings out the Bold colors of Lovely Lipstick and my favorite, Lemon Lime Twist,

Here is a closer look at the gift box.

I started with one of the Lustrous White Mini Gable Boxes. I wrapped the bottom with the cake pattern from the Broadway Bound dsp. I glued some Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon around the top. The greeting on the box is layered as follows: 1-3/8″ scallop circle in Basic Black, 1-1/4″ circle in Lovely Lipstick, the hat die cut from the Broadway Lights Framelits (I added the black dots with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker). I stamped the sentiment on Lemon Lime Twist card stock and cut it apart and adhered to the circle. This element is added to the box with dimensionals.

I let the Broadway Bound dsp take center stage for this card. The little candle embellishment on the “I” is one of the silver Candle Embellishments. But wait, it’s pink, not silver. Ah ha! I colored it with the dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blend! How cool is that?

Broadway Bound is a fantastic suite of products that give your birthday projects great dramatic flair! I’m sending you over to Twila and her wonderful projects featuring the Under the Mistletoe Suite. Or, if you are traveling backwards through the hop, you can go back to Rhonda and her delightful projects with the Delightfully Detailed Suite.

That’s a wrap for now. Happy Stamping!

let’s celebrate you

I’m back with another card using the Broadway Birthday stamp set. This set is really quite versatile. You can go big and bold like this card, or you can go for a more subtle look like today’s card.

Hard to believe that is from the same set isn’t it? How fun is that little ice cream cone! I decided to let the ice cream be a simple focal point and the only color on the card. But that doesn’t mean the card has to be boring. Texture can help with that. The Thick Whisper White card base is embossed with the Tufted 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I just love the quilted look it gives The Ice cream cone is stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake card stock and the ice cream is Flirty Flamingo ink stamped on Powder Pink card stock. I cut it out with the coordinating Broadway Lights Framelits. Some Linen thread and a little rhinestone are the finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

It’s time for another design challenge from My Inky Friends! This time it is a layout based on a card on page 48 of the 2018-19 Stampin’ Up! catalog. I knew the Broadway Bound suite would be great for this challenge. This set was a must get on my first order from the new catalog. Hmmmm, I wonder why? I decided to turn the sketch on its side.

The only stamping is the “make a” banner. Gotta love the Broadway Lights framelits!! The marquee is perfect to fill in with the Metallic Pearls featured in the suite, or my favorite embellishment -Basic Rhinestones! Perfect for a little Broadway Bling!

Make sure you go over to My Inky Friends and see all the other great ideas for this card layout, then play along! Create your own project based on this sketch and share it with us.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
