Bling Filled Birthday Greetings: Broadway Birthday

Good afternoon!  Summer continues to want to hang around despite what the calendar says, but I'm hoping fall will arrive soon (and for good!)  It seems like with our extended warm weather it's hard to start getting in the holiday mindset, so it's a perfect time to focus on birthdays!  I'm totally in love with the Broadway Bound Speciality Designer Series Paper and the foil patterns is definitely part of the reason.  Not only for the bling factor, which is obvious, but I like that the foil patterns only have neutral colors so you cam mix it with any color combination to suit your needs.  For today's card I decided to let Gorgeous Grape be the star of this card.

I started with Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardfront and used the Big Shot and Broadway Lights Framelits to cut the diamond border on the top and used Gold Foil behind the cut out to let the pattern shine.   Before attaching the cardfront front I wrapped a piece of Gorgeous Grape 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon and tied a knot.


Next I added a piece of the Broadway Bound Speciality Designer Series Paper at an angle.  I used the Broadway Birthday stamp set and stamped the "hooray" in Gorgeous Grape ink on Gray Granite cardstock and then fussy cut it with Paper Snips.  The rest of the greeting was stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink and then punched it out with the Classic Label Punch and attached it with dimensionals.  Of course I wanted a little extra bling so I added some Gold Metallic Pearls along the DSP for just the right touch.

Seriously, who wouldn't love to receive this card and opening this would certainly make the feel special which is deserved on your birthday!  The other good thing about this product suite is it is gender neutral and it can be dressed up or down depending on what pattern, colors, and accessories you use.  Don't forget the Broadway Birthday bundle is my featured product of the week and add these items to your next order!
