Attention Shoppers and a Little Paper Piecing
August 15, 2024
Hello! Hello! Are you a shopper? If I'm being honest, I would have to say that I am NOT. But when it comes to Stampin' Up!, yes I am a shopper. I bought this bundle for one purpose. You won't see it today. Check back on Sunday,August 18th and the reason will be revealed. We made this card in class recently.
What is it about that So Swirly embossing folder that I love so much? Well, it's just so cute!
This card has a base of Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4. Be sure to burnish the fold with a Bone Folder so that it is nice and scrisp.
Next, take a layer of Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the So Swirly EF. Glue this layer to the card front.
I'm using the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper for the circle on the card. Cut the circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies. I think it's OK to go ahead and glue the circle to the card on the lower right of the card.
The purpose of the circle was to ground my shopping cart. Cut the shopping cart from Basic Black. For the upper part of the card, add some Ahesive Sheets to one side of the card stock. This allows me to make the cart into a sticker. You can do the same for the undercarriage. I didn't but either way.
Let's talk about the gift bags in the buggy. They show a technique called paper piecing. First stamp the bags on Basic White in Memento Black ink. There are three bags in the cart and one is added to the inside of the card. Stamp four. Now pick out papers from Unbounded Beauty that you would like to have on your bags. Stamp the gift bag on these patterned papers again in Memento Black.
Cut out the bags for each. Cut on the black line or even to the outside of the line but in the line. That makes sense. Include the handle for the bag. The tissue paper will be cut off. For the handle, I cut through one side of the handle and then cut around the inside of the handle. Glue the cut out to the bag that was stamped on Basic White. The handle will not show that it has been cut on that one side. The cut out should fit perfectly. Adjust the handle if needed so that it fits in the lines. You won't be able to tell which black line belongs to the white or to the designer paper.
Complete all of the bags and cut them out with the Attention Shoppers dies.
Remove the backing on the cart making it sticky. Arrange the bags as you wish and place the cart over them. Rearrange if necessary and then stick down the cart. Very carefully lift up the cart and bags. The sticky of the cart is now on the bags or part of them. Add glue behind the bags. Place the cart and bags onto the pink circle. Add the undercarriage of the cart by removing the adhesive sheet or adding glue.
Stamp the saying from Attention Shoppers in Memento Black on a 1/4 inch strip of Basic White and trim. Glue to the buggy.
Add Tinsel Gems Four Pack embellishments.
Here's the inside of the card.
There you go. You are ready to shop. Add in a gift card and it's perfect! The colors in the Unbounded Beauty DSP just make me happy.
