Attention Shoppers are You Full of Life?
August 01, 2024
Hi! and happy Thursday to you! I'm using the Full of Life Designer Series Paper again today. I thought I would pair it with the Attention Shoppers bundle. It's a fun bundle!
This is a Back Fold Fun Fold, one of my favorite folds.
I'm not a brights person, but I've been trying to brighten up a little. The base of this card is Poppy Parade. It measures 5 1/2 x 7 1/2, score at 4 1/4 and 6 1/2. This is a little different than our regular cards. Fold like a regular card. The small area folds backward.
I chose to have a cardstock backing for the designer paper. I actually thought that Lost Lagoon may tone down the Poppy Parade a little. You'll need 2 pieces. One will be 3 x 5 1/4 and the other will be 3/4 x 5 1/4.
Cut the Full of Life Designer Series Paper at 2 7/8 x 5 1/8 and also at 5/8 x 5 1/8.
Glue all panels to the card front and to the back fold area.
For the circle cut out, I chose one of what you might call a flip side of the Full of Life DSP. I focused on finding a piece that featured the Lost Lagoon shades. Cut out using the Spotlight On Nature dies. I call it the paper plate die. I wanted to keep the circle plain since the patterned paper is so busy. The circle will be glued to the extreme right only on the back fold part of the card.
Now we'll make our shopping cart on the circle. Cut the cart from Poppy Parade and the under carriage and wheels in Basic Black. For the cart, I did add some of the Adhesive Sheets behind the card stock. This will turn the cart into a sticker. Hint: The handle did stick out over the circle. I was careful to leave the Adhesive Sheet attached to the handle part so the back would not be sticky. 2nd Hint: Don't attach the cart until you fill it.
Stamp the plant 3 times on Basic White scraps in Memento ink. These stamps are part of the Attention Shoppers bundle. Color with blends. I used Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, and Pretty Peacock Blends Combo Packs to color. I tried to color the leaves a little different on each plant using one in only Granny Apple Green, one with Granny Apple near the bottom of the leaves and Light Lost Lagoon near the ends, and the last with Light Pretty Peacock near the bottom and Granny at the ends. Of course you may not want to go to so much trouble. Color as you wish. Cut the plants using the Attention Shoppers dies.
I laid the plants as I wanted them placing the cart over to check and rearrange as needed. Now pull off the Adhesive Sheet being careful to leave the little area on the handle. Lay down on the plants and apply a little pressure to the plant area. Now add some glue to the back of the plants area and add the filled cart to the circle. Before pressing down on the bottom of the cart, slip in the black under carriage and wheels. I added these with a little glue.
Stamp Happy Birthday in Memento on a 1/4 inch strip of white. Cut apart and glue to the bottom left.
For the inside stamp a saying from Attention Shoppers in Memento. Add a little strip of the designer paper near the bottom. I had this little piece on my table so I just had to use it.
There you go. Here's my attempt at being a little brighter! What do you think?
