Broadway Bound Scrapbook Pages


Hi Friends!!

I've got some fun scrapbook pages for you today!!

This Broadway Bound suite of products make the perfect pages to celebrate any birthday in your life!!  The designer series paper features bright party designs on one side and all-occasion designs with gold foil on the other side!  The funny thing is...  we didn't even use any of the "bright party designs" on these pages (we used the gold foil patterns instead) and look at how fun the pages are!!

You can check them out here....


We start our first page with a Lovely Lipstick (one of our fabulous new In Colors! - you can see all of the new 2018-20 In Colors here) base, then added 2 strips of the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper to the bottom of our page.

We also added two Lemon Lime Twist pieces to our page that will be the perfect back-drop for our birthday photos!

Next, we stamped "Hooray" in Lovely Lipstick ink and then stamped the little polka dots in Stazon Black ink over top.  Both of these stamps are found in the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set.  Because these are photopolymer stamps, it makes lining up the little polka dots a cinch!

We also stamped "Let's celebrate you" in Lemon Lime Twist ink (also from the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set).

Then, we die-cut our sentiment with the Broadway Lights Framelits and added 4 Gold Metallic Pearls to the corners of our sentiment.

We layered our sentiment on top of Lovely Lipstick Stitched Shape Circle and a Lemon Lime Twist Scallop Circle die-cut using the Layering Circle Framelits.

The final finishing touch on this sentiment is the Black 1/8" Cord looped behind the circles.

Here's a look at our 2nd coordinating page.....


We started with a Lemon Lime Twist base.  This time, we added a narrow Basic Black strip of card stock, along with another strip of the Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper, to the bottom of our page.  I just love the gold foil on this paper - it's so shiny!!

We also added a large piece of Lovely Lipstick card stock to our page, again to frame our photos.

You may recognize this element on our 2nd page from a recent card I demo'd on Facebook Live.  Well, I loved the card so much, I decided to add it to the corner of one of our scrapbook pages, too!  You can see the card made step-by-step on our Facebook Live video here (at about minute 58).




We stamped "Make A" in Lovely Lipstick ink on Powder Pink card stock and fussy-cut it out with our Paper Snips.

Next, we stamped "WISH" in Lemon Lime Twist ink and "It's Your Birthday" in Black Stazon ink.

All of these sentiments can be found in the Broadway Birthday Stamp Set.

Next, we die-cut our Basic Black "marquee" using the Broadway Lights Framelits and then layered our white piece behind it.

We also stamped the party hat in Lovely Lipstick ink and die-cut it with the Broadway Lights Framelits

You can buy the stamp set and framelits separately, or save 10% when you buy them in the bundle.

We layered a couple of pieces of the Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper behind our sentiment and added a strip of Lovely Lipstick card stock die-cut with those diamonds (also using the Broadway Lights Framelits) below our sentiment.

All of this is layered on top of another piece of Lovely Lipstick card stock and added to our page.

Facebook Friday Freebies (with every online order)!!!!


Ever wonder what all of the "goodies" are that I mention you receive with an online order on our Facebook Live videos each Friday??

Well, I thought I'd show you!!

 As you know, I always send the projects that I demo on the previous week's Facebook Live video when you order online (minimum $30 order) and use the host code.

Here's this month's Host Code just in case you need it:  9QDESF6D

Your name is also entered into the drawing to win the prize I'm giving away (also announced on each Friday's Facebook Live).

PLUS...  if your online order is over $50, you ALSO receive that month's online order host code fun surprise/freebie from me.



Here are a couple of examples of all of the goodies that people have received recently in the mail because they ordered online and used the host code.....


For this particular week, I demo'd those cute 3x3 In Color notecards, so this person automatically received those cute cards for her online order ($30 minimum).  You can catch that week's Facebook Live video again here.  Then, her name was also entered into the drawing to win (which she did!!) the prize that I was giving away (announced on that Friday's Facebook Live), which was the Beautiful Day Stamp Set.  In addition, because her online order was actually over $50, she ALSO received May's online order host code fun surprise/freebie from me, which were the Petal Pink Rhinestones!

Just look at all of that great FREE STUFF she received for just a $50 online order when she used the host code!!

For this particular week, I demo'd 2 fun cards - one featuring the new Nature's Poem suite of products and another featuring the Tranquil Textures DSP & Enjoy Life stamp set, so this person automatically received both of those great cards for her online order ($30 minimum).  You can catch that week's Facebook Live video again here.  Then, her name was also entered into the drawing to win (which she did!!) the prize that I was giving away (announced on that Friday's Facebook Live), which was the Graceful Glass Vellum Paper and the Bermuda Bay Blends Markers.  In addition, because her online order was over $50, she ALSO received May's online order host code fun surprise/freebie from me, which were the Petal Pink Rhinestones!

Just look at all of that great FREE STUFF she received for just a $50 online order when she used the host code!!

Stampin' Up! Detailed with Love Card


It's summer time!!!

And...  I think this card just says "summer"... from the bold new cardstock (that's Mango Melody!) to the pretty floral DSP to the gorgeous embossing folder, I just love it all!!!  Kind of like I just love summer :).  Maybe it's because we have to wait so long for it here in Michigan!

Anyway, enough about all of that!  Let's get to our card.....

 


I made this card for a swap that I participated in recently and just loved how it turned out :).

Of course, I had to make a video, too, to show you step-by-step how to put the card together.

You can check it out here....
