Les Shoppes Pocket Card / Stamping With Melva

Les Shoppes Pocket Card

Tuesday, 11 July 2023

I love the Les Shoppes Suite from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. It's so fun to see all of the old fashioned shop windows. Check out this fun pocket card I created on a recent sketch challenge. I received a pocket card in the Incentive Trip Swap (less than 1% of Demonstrators earn the trip) and knew I had to CASE it. Thank you Melissa Ellis for the inspiration.

I love the colour combination of Daffodil Delight and Misty Moonlight. The Designer Series Paper makes it so easy to create a quick card - I just cut the cut shop front from the paper. The surprise is on the pocket where I stamped a store front and coloured it with my Stampin' Blends. I even coloured the ribbon using the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to make it match! How fun is that!

First, check out the sketch. You can use this sketch to create non-pocket card too! Join me on Tuesday at 2pm Pacific for my Sketch Challenges.

Now, here's the card I created.
