Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Birthday Shopping Card using the Les Shoppes Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! It’s a friend’s birthday this week and she is very artistic. So, I thought a birthday card shopping for art supplies would be perfect for her!

The Details of My Birthday Shopping Card

For my card, I decided to create a shopping scene. So, I fussy cut with my paper snips the building with the art supplies, but you could use any of the buildings in the Designer Series Paper. Next, I stamped the awning stamp randomly on the Calypso Coral card base in Calypso Coral for a slight tone-on-tone. The Basic White piece was die cut by the 3rd largest Deckled Rectangles Dies and embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to add some interest.

Since I was creating a street scene, I thought the die cut lamppost and bench would be fun accents beside the shop. A strip of the cobbled DSP created the perfect grounding for my scene.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white on Misty Moonlight card stock and then die cut out. 

The finishing touch was a scattering of Loose Silver Sequins that are included in the Collection.

  1. I love your Les Shoppes cards. So fun! I never really paid attention to this suite but at another demo’s place we made some cards and I have loving all the fun looks. The book store is my favorite though. Now, I feel like I need to get the bundle and paper too and have some fun. Maybe for after Christmas when I am having cabin fever from the weather? Thanks for the inspiration!
