Broadway Bound Artisan Blog Hop

in Artisan Design Team 2018, Cardmaking, Creativity on 07/19/18

It’s time for another Artisan Design Team blog hop! This hop feels like a party! We are featuring the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set and The Broadway Lights Framelits from the Broadway Bound Suite in the Annual Catalogue.  You may have just arrived here from my amazing and talented friend Kayla MacAulay from Australia. I adore her creations!

For my samples today, I was inspired by the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Broadway Bound Cardstock Pack. I love the bright colours that are featured in this collection and I decided to coordinate my inks and embellishments.  I made 3 cards.  I love the bold images from the Broadway Stamp Set and the marquee signs from the Broadway Lights Framelits.  It’s the perfect ensemble to highlight the birthday or celebrate an occasion for the special people in your life.

How to make these cards:

  • Use a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece Whisper White cardstock as your card base and score at 5 1/2″
  • Add a piece of 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of cardstock from the Broadway Bound Cardstock Pack
  • Add a piece of 3 3/4″x 5″ piece of cardstock either the Watercolor paper or Shimmery White cardstock.
  • With an aqua painter add Lovely Lipstick and/or Lemon Lime Twist Ink for your background
  • Embellish your cards using Broadway Birthday Stamp Set and The Broadway Lights Framelits

Tip:  Some of the framelits work perfectly with the Broadway Bound Specialty DSP.  In my cards you will notice that the party hats have been cut from the coordinating DSP with the Broadway Lights Framelits.

I must say, I love them all but my favourite is definitely the one that has both the Lemon Lime Twist and Lovely Lipstick Background.

Next on the hop is my sweet friend Lauren Alarid from the United States.  I can wait to see what she created today.  Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.

    Kim, I love your take on this suite. I never would have thought to do a watercolor look on the letters, but it looks great. Hugs!

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
