Broadway Birthday Colorful Birthday Card for PCC338

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another card using the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set and Broadway Lights framelits.   Which right now are still part of a cost saving bundle; when the 2019 Annual Catalog goes lives this bundle will be gone, even through the products are staying.  Today's card is a little different than Monday's card.  This card features a fun color combination and focuses on the stamp set more then the Wish die in the die set.  Here's a look at today's card.

And here's a look at the card sketch that inspired my design.  You can click the sketch image and see what the other design team members came up with.

Tips & Tricks: 

When I started out designing this card for this sketch I knew which stamp set I wanted to use but I wasn't sure on the colors.  But, it didn't take long to figure that out.  I wanted a fun color combo that could work for both males and females.  I ended up using Smoky Slate, Rococo Rose, and Balmy Blue.  Rococo Rose is one of the new 2019-2021 In Colors that will come out on June 4th with the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  It's a rich mauve red that compliments most other colors, and can stand alone or be paired with another color to be very subtle.  So that makes it very versatile.  
Once I knew my colors it was time to start the fun stuff, stamping!  I picked the party hat to focus on as the main image for my card.  Don't under estimate the smaller stamps in your sets, they can be very fun to work with and are limitless in possibilities.  You can do so much with these little stamps.  I stamped out the hat in all three of my colors around a piece of whisper white cardstock and then used the stitched shapes (the largest square) and cut it out.  I then stamped the hooray on a piece of whisper white that was 5 1/4 x 4.  Before adding the hooray in a diagonal pattern I stamped off once to create a lighter shade of the Rococo Rose ink.  This allows for more versatility with your ink pads.  
I then took a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and used the third stitched square in the Stitched Shapes Dies and cut it out.  Next I ran it trough the die cutting machine with the swirls and curls embossing folder a returning embossing folder from the Holiday Catalog.  I forgot to mention before I added both squares I used a strip of Balmy Blue card stock and ran it through with the edge die with the little diamonds through my die cutting machine and made it into a banner.  This was added over the stamped hooray, before adding the stamped party hat piece.  After that I saved the little diamonds that came from the the banner and started adding the stitched and embossed squares I created.  I stamped two more party hats on scrap cardstock in Rococo Rose and Smoky Slate and used the matching die to cut them out.  I added them to the card with a mini dimensional to match the height of the balmy blue square that was also popped up with dimensionals. I then added the little diamonds back to the card front and stamped another sentiment at the bottom of the party hats.  This sentiment was in stamped in smoky slate to help bring it out a little more than the second generation Rococo Rose Hooray.  
To finish off my card I added the card front to a 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 piece of Rococo Rose Cardstock.  This acted as a mat for my card front and helped to bring out the Rococo Rose ink on the card.  You could totally change this layer to Balmy Blue if you were sending this to a male.  I then added it to a Smoky Slate card base that was cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (scored at 4 1/4) to make a side folding card.  I stamped a few of the party hats on a piece of whisper white in all three colors and added that to the inside of the card.  
So that's my super easy, quick, and colorful Broadway Birthday card for today.  I hope that you like it and that you will take time to play along with this sketch.  This sketch is a two week challenge so you have plenty of time to play along.  If you want to get the Broadway Birthday Stamp set and matching dies now and save 10% I would, before the cost saving bundle is gone.  You can pick these up in my online store by clicking on the shop tab above or by clicking on the item in the shopping list below.

Broadway Birthday Wish Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I made over the weekend using the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set and the Broadway Lights dies.  This is a fun set that shares the same drama as it's namesake.  You have a fun photopolymer stamp set that different birthday images, as well as some great sentiments, and the matching dies cut out must of the images as well as some fun marquees, and a great large Wish sentiment wish I used today.  Here's a look at my card.

As you can see on my card I used the large wish die to create the focal point and the main image of the card.  This adds to the drama of the gold foiled paper that's in the background.  This fun paper in the background came from the Broadway Bound Speciality Designer Series Paper which is retiring but still available on the last chance list when I looked last night.  This entire suite that was in the 2018 Annual catalog reminded me so much of when I went to New York back in 1995 and spent the weekend there.  Well actually we where there five days and I loved it.  I got to watch seven Broadway shows in five days, which by the way is no easy task.  If you have never been to New York and watch a Broadway show I totally encourage you to do so, its the must wonderful thing in the world.  Okay so back to the card.
So to finish off the sentiment I used two more sentiments from the set, to read It's Your Birthday Make A Wish.  I did the two smaller sentiments in clear embossing powder and used some deco foil and ran it through my laminatior.  This allowed me to transfer the foil to the cardstock.  You do have to be careful when doing this to make sure you get a good impression to start with.  If you didn't heat set all the embossing powder or missed a spot it will not transfer the foil.  That's what happened here with the make.  I didn't have a good image and it left open areas, which doesn't bother me because this is a handmade card and not from Hallmark, so the little imperfections are okay.

By the way if you order this set now it's still a cost saving bundle and you can save 10%.  This set is carrying over but the bundle is not.  So that means that if you don't get it now you will have to pay full price for both the stamp set and dies and order under two different item numbers instead of the item number for the bundle.  By the way the Broadway Bound Stamp Set and Bundle are my featured products of the week this week.  This means that I will be sharing with you a couple more projects showing you different ways to use this set this week.

I hope that you have enjoyed my little look at the Broadway Bound products today.  If you want to get them and save the 10% with the cost saving bundle now's the time to do so.  The bundle will be going away after June 3 when the new 2019 Catalog goes live.  If you don't have a demonstrator you work with I would love to earn your business.  When you become a customer I will send you the new 2019 Annual Catalog as a thank you for ordering.  I always send the new catalogs to anyone that's ordered from me in the last six months as a perk and as a thank you.  Again thanks for dropping by today.
