Yesterday I posted a card using the Attention Shoppers Bundle and today I have another one to show you another way to use the stamp set. This Attention Shoppers Gift Bags Birthday Card is one you can make without the cute shopping cart but using the stamps only.
This is also a lesson in making your own designer paper! Just stamp your own background! I always like doing random stamping like this. It just feels good to stamp and stamp and stamp over and over again! Sometimes you develop a nice rhythm to it!
This card starts with a Bubble Bath cardstock card base. Instead of using the cart stamps or dies, I made a birthday card by stamping the gift bags with Memento Ink all over the piece of Basic White which would be the front of the card. I used the Attention Shoppers Stamp Set and of course, if you want the coordinating dies, it’s a good deal to buy the Attention Shoppers Bundle and save 10%. I colored in the bags and tissue paper with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers but I could have used Watercolor Pencils or reinkers and the Water Painters. I used all sorts of colors of markers so use whatever you like!
The birthday greeting is in the stamp set also. I stamped it in Bubble Bath ink on a thin strip of Basic White and layered it on a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock. Only took me about five tries to get it right! I either cut it too close to the words or I didn’t cut the layer right or I put the flagged end on the wrong end! For some embellishment and sparkle, I added three Iridescent Faceted Gems.
This was a fun card to make with all the stamping and coloring. If you don’t want to do any coloring, stamp all the bags one color to match the card base…or stamp them in different colors but just don’t color them! Here is the card I made yesterday with this Attention Shoppers Bundle.
