Gillybean Crafting : Broadway Bound and a Sketch Challenge

This particular suite caught my eye as soon as I first saw the catalogue but it was never at the top of my list. And then they told us that the June Paper Pumpkin kit was going to coordinate with the suite. I still couldn't decide whether or not to buy it quite yet.... As you can tell from this post, I changed my mind. Am I ever glad that I did! I am LOVING creating with not only the stamp set and framelits but also the Designer Series Paper, the ribbon and the pearls. The only item I don't own is the candle embellishments. You need to have this bundle/suite if you like to make birthday or celebration cards. You will NOT regret it!.

This top card was the sketch challenge. I LOVE this sketch! It was sooo easy to put together a quick card and after seeing what the other team members created with the same sketch, I know it will be a regular in my arsenal of quick card layouts.

These next cards were two cards I CASEd from the Paper Pumpkin Facebook Live video and we created in my Paper Pumpkin class. The ladies loved them and so do I. Again, two cards I would make again and again!

The party hats and ribbon card uses the Marbled Background stamp and Lemon Lime Twist. I love how it turned out. These background stamps are hidden gems for quickly making a so-so card come together. They may seem a bit pricey for one stamp but they are big and SO worth the investment. You do need the largest block to use them.

This is a fancy fold card which was new to the group and they were hooked. It's super easy (I did a video on my FB page last week) but the recipient will think it was super complicated for you to create! We used two of the new ribbons in the catty as well as the Faceted Gems in black.
