My daughter needed a quick birthday card for an employee.  This is what I came up with (above).  You have got to love the Broadway Bound Suite.  There are so many ways you can use it to make fun birthday cards, congratulations, and cards of encouragement.

This suite, “Broadway Birthday” (with Stamp Set and dies) is $41.25 with 10% off.  The Stamp Set by itself is $17.00 and the framelit set is $29.00  Check pages 69 and 216 of the Annual Catalog to see other elements you may want to purchase with this set.  I made the card on the left below using some of the elements from the catalog along with the suite.  The card on the right was CASed from Karenstamps.com.

I also used the June Paper Pumpkin Kit to add more texture to the card.   What is Paper Pumpkin?  It is a  kit that comes every month, packed with supplies to make 8-12 cards or crafty items.  For the month of September, it will be full of supplies to make 24 gift bags for Halloween.  I ordered two kits for September.  If you want one for free, send me a comment on any of my posts, and I will put your name in the drawing for the extra set.  The winner will be notified on Sept. 27th on my blog and by email.  It is a low-cost way to craft.  You get stamps, inkspots(miniature ink pads) and all the other supplies you need to have fun crafting.  The cost is $19.95 a month.  Love it!  If you want the September Kit, (pictured below), Click on the Paper Pumpkin icon on my blog and subscribe before Sept. 10, 2018.  Make sure you select me as your demonstrator.

Wow! I have said a mouthful, but it sure was good!  Check out the Broadway Birthday Suite and Paper Pumpkin soon.
