Craft Roulette - Pop Up Coffee Shop!

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome. My card for you today was made for Craft Roulette Episode #278. This is my 25th submission so I knew I had to make it special! The parameters were a Thank You card, Bakery Colors, Shop(s)(ing) and Ombre. For this card, I used Scrappy Tails Storefront Pop-Up along with the Coffee Shop and Florist Add-On. 

I started by die cutting two panels to create the building frame, using Spellbinders Fawn cardstock. I used my Small Brick stencil from MFT and Simon Says Stamps Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Latte. I then die cut the roof from Spellbinders Acorn cardstock. I also cut the piece that holds the roof to the house in this colour. Then I die cut 10 green strips to add to my roof, adding some detail with a Copic marker. I used warm colours, like an old fashioned bakery/cafe. 

Before I put the building together, I started adding all the details to the coffee shop. I started by cutting out the window in the front. I added a piece of acetate to the inside of the shop to make it look like an actual window. Then I die cut the curtains from a scrap piece of Lawn Fawn patterned paper. I'm sorry I can't remember what it's called, but it's really pretty with little white flowers and a yellow background. 

I die cut the door and the steps leading up to the door from scrap cardstock and extra pieces of the Spellbinders cardstock. I die cut the door windows from Neenah cardstock and coloured them in with Copic markers. I did an ombre gradient on all my coloured die cuts. 

I die cut the table and chairs from black cardstock, twice and placed them in front of the window of my shop and then on the side of the shop. I added some tea cups and cupcakes along with a tea pot and for the other table, I added to go coffee cups. I added plants and flower pots as well. These were all coloured by hand using Copic markers. 

For the back of my shop, I added a banner for a place to sign the card, since this does fold completely flat and will fit in a 5x7 envelope. I added a bike and some more plants and windows to the other side of the shop. Then I began putting everything together. I glued the shop walls together and then die cut three strips to add to the inside of the card. This is to add things to the inside of the shop so when you look in the window you can see them. 

I started by creating a counter, then adding two bar seats and some coffee mugs and cupcakes. Then I added a second strip, with a shelf that I made from a window die. I added bottles, cups, cupcakes and coffee bean bags. Then I added a coffee pot and a computer to check customers out with. 

I added the strips to the inside of the card using liquid glue. This is what I used for all my die cuts for this card. That way, it's strong and won't eventually come apart. 

Before I put the roof on my shop, I die cut lights and added them to the third strip I had die cut. I added Pear Blossom Press lights to three die cut lights for my shop. I taped the wires to the inside of my card using Scotch Tape. Then I added the battery to the back of my roof. So my coffee shop would light up inside so you could see all the little things inside. 

I had so much fun making this card! Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below is a list of the products that I used. Not all products are listed as they are only available on the actual website of they are older and no longer available. Happy Crafting!
