Happy Fri-YAY!
Our challenge over on the Cut It Up! Blog this time is a "Shaped Card" so we would love to see anything other than a standard rectangle! I needed a card to congratulate my wonderful nephew on the purchase of his first home and I decided to use an arch shape! This card features lots of die cuts (MFT Stamps/Lawn Fawn) and cute stamped images from Ellen Hutson's "Backyard Bird Friends".
I created the folded arch card base and covered the front with Lawn Fawn gingham paper. The birdhouse was die cut multiple times from different cards stocks and glued/stacked together, which gave this image lots of dimension. The wooden post was stenciled with a wood grain pattern and all of the birdhouse pieces were glued to the card front. The green grass strip was die cut, ink-blended along the bottom and adhered to the front of the card with foam tape. I added a heat-embossed sentiment banner, small jute bow and the pretty stamped/colored Cardinal to complete the card front. I used more of great images in this stamp set for the inside greeting!
We can't wait to see your shaped card projects over in our Cut It Up! Challenge Blog Gallery - and remember, don't forget the die cut!
