Easy Handmade Birthday Card for the August Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the August Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with several fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, Australia and United Kingdom. You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Amy Seigler's blog. Welcome one and all.

Happy Birthday! is the theme this month and I have chosen Broadway Birthday stamp set (AC p. 67) which was introduced in the 2018-19 Annual Catalog with the gorgeous Broadway Bound DSP featuring lots of gold, the now retired Lemon Lime Twist, and the 2018-20 in color Lovely Lipstick (and coordinated with the June 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit). Some really cute cards have been made with that collection so I thought we should show this set some new love.
The marquee die cut is from the coordinating Broadway Lights die collection (AC p. 191) and popped up with several Stampin' Dimensionals for height and stability. I picked this small gingham print in Coastal Cabana from the Brights 6x6 DSP pack (AC p. 162) for the background. Love the sparkly, adhesive-backed Glitter Enamel dots in graduating sizes. 
I really spiced up the inside of my card with the birthday hats and candle. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is a combination of the Well Said stamp set (AC p. 47) and the Well Written dies (AC p. 197).

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring Broadway Birthday. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Terri Stewart.

  3. Love your card Sandy. Coastal Cabana is one of my favs too, along with Bermuda Bay. I'm also fond of the glitter enamel dots and the fab extras you have inside. Also nice to see a different colour scheme to the one in the DSP this set was released with.

    1. Thanks, Netty. When I fist picked the DSP I thought it was the Bermuda Bay until I started stamping and it didn't match!
