Seize The birthday - Make A Shaped Card

 

Hello, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday, chosen by JoAnn, who wants us to make a shaped card - any shape except the standard US A2 (or the equivalent UK A6 for me).

I went with a DL slimline card, which worked perfectly with this stamp set that has been in my stash for ages.  I picked up some spritzed Distress Inks from an acrylic block onto my panel, and it looked sufficiently like grass, flowers and trees to not need anything more doing to it.  I stamped the sausage dog (Woodware), coloured and fussy cut it and adhered it the panel then mounted the whole thing onto the folded card base.  The sentiment is from the same set.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulously shaped cards from the rest of the design team and from our surprise party guests, and join in the fun.  If you don't want to make a shaped card, you can still play along with a regular sized card in our Anything Goes category.

  3. I totally forgot that a slim line would be a shaped card. Thanks for the reminder. That dog with a colorful sweater is just so sweet and adorable.
