INSTRUCTIONS:

Stamp your shop and desired accessory pieces in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. 

NOTE: Some like to use the Thick Basic White Cardstock when coloring with Blends but I usually just use the regular Basic White.

Color your shop pieces (I turned it into a bookstore) with the Stampin' Blends in the following shades:

• Shop Building - Pebbled Path Combo Pack
• Windows - Night of Navy Light and Tahitian Tide Combo Pack
• Lights - Daffodil Delight Combo & Color Lifter
• Books on shelves - Variety of colors: Shaded Spruce, Bronze, Basic Black, Moody Mauve, Orchid Oasis, Pumpkin Pie... use what colors you have

Die cut the pieces you just colored.

Die cut the street light lanterns in Basic Black cardstock.

Glue the DSP to the card base. Glue the small DSP pieces. Adhere your fun fold piece in front. Be sure to only add glue to the upper part so the fun fold works.

Take the other 2-3/4" piece add glue to back and then line the front up with the fun fold piece. Set down. This way your rectangles will be aligned perfectly.
