A friend of mine recently opened a new craft shop locally. Although, it's not my usual style, I wanted to make a card in the shape of a little shop and this is the result.
I started off with the Memory Box window die and then used that to design the rest of the layout. I made one window into the door and added different die cut layers mounted on foam tape for dimension. Backing the die cut with acetate, I added various little crafty items into each window, including paper, gems, ribbon and charms in the windows, added pink blinds (just like the real shop has) and backed each window with pink spotty paper, making each one a self contained box for mounting. Finally, I made a shop sign using Letraset and a weeny open sign. The depth of the items in the window meant each panel was quite deep, so this became a very 3D layout! The size is almost A4.
