Broadway Birthday - Stampin’ Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Broadway Bound Suite for Paper Craft and Card Making


Well, hello peaches! Welcome to the Broadway Birthday Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! Each month our very talented and creative team of designers will be bringing you inspiration, so get comfortable and have a ton of fun hopping along with us. You may have just arrived from the wonderfully talented Kim McGillis' Blog. I just adore her style!



Today, I will be showcasing the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set and Broadway Lights Framelits Dies from the Broadway Bound Suite of products. You'll just love how these fun products coordinate and add pop to any celebration.

For today's projects, I created a matching card set. For my first card, I began with a sheet of Watercolor Paper and used my Aqua Painter to create a watercolor wash. I began by laying down a light wash of just water first over the general area that I wanted to add color. Then I took my Soft Sea Foam Ink and added some color over the bottom portion of my watercolor background. Then, before the water and color dried, I added some Balmy Blue Ink to the top part of my watercolor background, making sure that the colors mix in the middle. Allow it to dry before adding any other layers. 

The next step is to create and add your layers. I cut the "wish" die cut from Whisper White Cardstock. I layered that on top of a piece of Vellum punched with the Starburst Punch. Under those, I placed a bit of Silver Metallic Thread. To finish it off, I added a few stars, using the die from the Candles & Confetti Framelits Dies, along with two of the sweet little Candle Embellishments




 For the next card I began with a Whisper White Cardstock background and used the birthday candle stamp from the set to stamp in both Soft Sea foam Ink and Balmy Blue Ink alternately towards the upper center of my card. You'll notice that the candle appears longer than the actual stamp is. That's because it is! 

To get a longer candle: 

  1. I just stamped the upper part of my candle 
  2. Then re-stamp it over the candle I just stamped, only a little lower and overlapping the bottom of the original candle a little. 
  3. Repeat this for all five candles.  


To finish off this card, I added some more meta
llic thread, some Silver Mini Sequin Trim, and a few silver stars from the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins. I just love the shine they add!



For my final card, I went all out, lol. I used the same die from the Candles & Confetti Framelits Dies for my confetti background by die cutting some Whisper White Cardstock (4" x 5 1/4") twice, at both ends of my panel. I used a few more of the dies from the Broadway Lights Dies Set to create a few layers in Balmy Blue and Pool Party Cardstock For interest. I stamped a few candles and a party hat to layer behind my "Broadway style" sentiment. The sentiment was created by stamping the "wish" sentiment in Soft Sea Foam Ink and then using the matching dotted stamp to layer on top in Silver Embossing Powder. One key step for successfully getting a clean embossed image, over an already stamped image to to ensure that the first stamped layer is completely dry, before stamping the Versamark Ink and adding your embossing powder. This will help you avoid any stray powder particles.  


Here's a close-up of my cards:

    Palm Pre Rolls Canada – best recreational cannabis online dispensary in Canada, is known for its premium prerolls, here you can find a huge variety of strains to choose from. The strain’s characteristics can vary greatly from grower to grower. Different growing, harvesting and processing conditions inevitably result in varying
    cannabinoid and terpene contents. Palm offers either pure or hybrid varieties of the plant genus Cannabis, which encompasses the species C. Sativa and C. Indica. These are its premium prerolls. Other than this it also has a huge range of fruit-flavoured prerolls.

    If we talk about Watermelon wave, this is 80% Indica strain, which delivers a host of beautiful effects on users, usually a heavy body high, hence the name wave on the watermelon kush. If we take the THC content into consideration. As we know once it reaches 20%, then we know a strain is potent. So, in the case of the Watermelon strain, users should understand their limits. As for new users, or those who are using marijuana for the first time, better use this one with caution.
