Awning Card Tutorial

Here are the measurements for the card bits:

Basic Card: Score at 5.5" and cut at 4.25"

White cardstock for image: 4.25" X 3.5" (I sized the image itself on the cardstock at about 4")

Awning: Main backing cardstock: 4.25" X 1.25"

Awning: Stripes - Window Slot Punch, white (5) and designer cardstock (6)

Bottom Portion: Double sided designer cardstock 4.25"X 3.25" (scallop one edge and score at 0.5")

I glued the window slots onto the backing cardstock for the awning. I didn't butt them right up to each other but left a teensy bit of space. I also used the lines on my cutter to keep things straight.

I bent one side one way, and the opposite side I bent the other way. Like so:

I Cuttlebugged the bottom portion of the card with the Pinstripe Folder by Couture Creations.

I used some Baker's Twine on the card as well.

I used some stickles on the Digi, and pop dots for the sentiment.

The nice thing about this card is that you can make a shoe store, and ice cream shoppe, a flower shop, etc. In fact, check back because I'll make up some more Digi's that would work well with this card. 

Anyone have any other ideas that might work? No guarantees, but suggestions are welcome! :)

And here's the Digital Stamp I have for you today. You need fine markers for coloring these!

Here is the 'Birthday Sweets' sentiment page. I've put a bunch on one page; I figure you can probably use the extras another time anyway! I made them simple, because sometimes a simple sentiment looks best on a card.
