Corner Bakery

A few years ago we were visiting family in the St. Louis area and they took us to St. Charles one evening where we walked on actual cobblestone streets and where all the little businesses had decorated their store fronts and windows with pumpkins and other Halloween props. I took a few photos and have not forgotten how cute it was there. (See below) 

Here's a bakery I made today for our Just Us Girls Challenge #841 mood board with our hostess Vicki. I liked the pumpkins and takeout cup on the bottom of the mood board and went from there. Coffee and pastries, why not? (Chai for me, please!) Be sure to take some time to visit the blogs of our design team and our guest Julia to see how everyone was inspired to make their cards.

Real pumpkins carved to decorate a store inside and out. I remember the pastel decor inside this store and all of the fun decorations outside. I made a bakery because we visited one and got some yummy things to eat along the way down this street.

I used Concord & 9th Pop Up Shoppe dies and Poppystamps Pumpkin Patch dies. My card includes copper metallic card stock, thick acetate and card stock scraps. I stamped the bakery sign with Altenew Obsidian black ink. The card base is A2 and top folding. The bakery pops up, but folds flat to mail. I have made quite a few of these using different themes. It takes a lot of steps, but it's fun to see it come to life.

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!
