Last Chance Craft Bundle: Attention Shoppers Review

Posted on by
Reply

Welcome to my April Last Dance/Last Chance series! Today’s Last Chance bundle is Attention Shoppers, and I’m playing with that shopping cart. I used the same basic layout, but ended up with two rather different cards. See what you think.

  • Stamps: Attention Shoppers, Elements of Text, Translucent Florals
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Smokey Slate, Flirty Flamingo, Peach Pie
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Attention Shoppers dies, Deckle Circle dies (retired), Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write markers, Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I die cut the bottles and shopping bag, then colored them to coordinate with my card. I’m still having a lot of fun using Stampin’ Write markers to splatter, but the only other embellishment is a tiny bow that’s held in place with a Glue Dot. The shopping cart is almost an embellishment all by itself!

Compare the first version with this second one. I’ve got plants in pots, an embossing folder as texture for the card base instead of stamped images, and some Designer Series Paper strips for additional texture. The bow is made from the 25-27 In Color Bordered Ribbon, which I cut into 3 strips and tied into a satisfyingly messy bow.

What do you think?

Either way, you’ll be happy to add Attention Shoppers stamps and dies to your crafty stash. Here’s a money saving tip: Instead of ordering the bundle, order the parts as individual items and save! Individually they’re on sale, but the bundle hasn’t been further discounted. You heard it here first!!

LAST CHANCE/LAST DANCE FOR BIRD’S EYE VIEW

Posted on by

Welcome back to my April Last Dance/Last Chance series! Bird’s Eye View was an early choice for me back in 2023, and I was delighted to have it in the catalog for a second year. But it’s time to make room for new birdies.

  • Stamps: Bird’s Eye View, Ice Cream Swirl, Attention Shoppers (all Last Chance)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Timid Tiger (25-27 IC), Darling Duckling (25-27 IC), Strawberry Slush (25-27 IC), Balmy Blue, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Circle dies (I used the retired Layered Circles), Window Sheets, Blending Brushes, Masking Paper, Stampin’ Write Markers, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I started by stamping each of the birds on Masking Paper and cut each one out with my snips. After stamping each bird on the card front panel I covered it with its masked image. I created a mask by using a circle die and a window sheet (I tried to punch it, but it was too thick and I was unhappy with the results). I used washi tape to secure the mask over each bird, then created a “color halo” with a Blending Brush. The Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends added a touch color to the wing on each bird.

I also stamped the “Make A Wish” sentiment from Ice Cream Swirl three times and cut out each word. I could probably have done it with one image, but I’m lazy and didn’t want to pay that much attention to my fussy cutting. There’s a few flicks from the Stampin’ Write marker around behind the sentiments.

I used the birthday cake image and sentiment from Attention Shoppers on the inside. And sharp eyes will notice that the front panel is on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I don’t remember the last time I made a card without them!

Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling and Strawberry Slush are 25-27 In Colors and will be available on May 7th. In the meantime, skit-skat-skoodle-doot* off to the store to pick up Bird’s Eye View, Attention Shoppers, and Ice Cream Swirl before they disappear for good!

*Any Chicka Chicka Boom Boom fans out there??

ATTENTION SHOPPERS: PLANTS

Posted on by

I’ve enjoyed playing with all of the things meant to go INTO the shopping cart from Attention Shoppers. This little plant is sweet and simple, so instead of 3 as I did with the cake, I did a line of 5.

  • Stamps: Attention Shoppers, Leaf Collection
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Attention Shoppers dies, Dashing Designs Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Blends, Country Lane DSP, Transparent Adhesive Back Dots, Linen Thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green make a bold, bright color combination. I love the way they contrast with the Smoky Slate stripe in the Country Lace DSP. Gray is an easy color to pair, and it’s not as stark as black when you’re want something a little softer. I love that we have grays that lean cool (Smoky Slate) and warm (Gray Granite).

I used both Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends for the leaves. You could easily use just one or the other if you don’t have both.

When I line up my row of plants (or whatever it is) I like to start with the middle. From there I put one on the left edge and one on the right edge and then I squeeze the two middle ones in place. (Yes, measure twice and all that…I made sure 5 would fit before I started.) I also place the middle one first when there are 3. It makes my symmetry-loving brain happy.

The background pieces are the same size, but they’re offset. I hand lettered the sentiment because I couldn’t find what I wanted to say. This card was intended for one of my favorite plant people.

PLAYING IN THE RAIN: BABY BIRTHDAY

Mister Maui Stamper and I went to a wonderful baby One Year Birthday Party last weekend at a local beach park. There were lots of babies and baby mamas and papas and we were blessed to be part of it. Such a special event called for a special card, and I reached for my favorite turtle since this was an “O-FISH-AL” birthday party:

  • Stamps: Playing in the Rain, Attention Shoppers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pool Party, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Playing in the Rain dies, Blending Brush, Stampin’ Blends, Transparent Adhesive Back Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used the Blending Brush to put down a soft wash of Pool Party as a backdrop. I struggle with a watercolor wash, and the Blending Brush is much easier for me. I added a little Pool Party to the bottom of the clouds in the same way, giving them some depth. I colored the turtle and the flowers with Stampin’ Blends and put it all together with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Playing in the Rain images are whimsical enough to work for adults, but they’re equally suited for children. They’re from a past mini catalog, so you might have missed them. Find them in the Online Store.

ATTENTION SHOPPERS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I’ve had a LOT of fun with Attention Shoppers, and I haven’t even touched the shopping cart yet! I love the images of things to put INTO the cart (the sign of a true shopper, I guess).

  • Stamps: Attention Shoppers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Attention Shoppers dies, Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder, Bakers Twine 3 Color Pack, Stampin’ Blends, Country Lace DSP, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This is one of my favorite fun folds. It’s called Z-Fold, and it’s easy to customize. You begin with a card stock base measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score it at 5 1/2″. Score again at 2 3/4″ and fold that scored portion back so the card base makes a “Z” figure. Adhere a panel (this is a 3″ x 4″ rectangle but almost any shape will work) to the front portion (that you’ve folded back) and you’re ready to embellish.

The cakes are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and they’re popped up on Dimensionals. I used the Flirty Flamingo Bakers Twine from the Three Color Pack around that front panel. A layer behind the front panel is embossed with the Dotted Circles EF to coordinate with the circles in the DSP.
