We're Getting in Shape at Jingle Belles … no jumping jacks or wind sprints required. We're making shaped cards (anything other than square or rectangle.
I picked-up these Spellbinders Nestabilities Heirloom Ornament dies last year, so I wanted to see if I could make them work for a shaped card design.
I positioned my folded card base where the fold is right below the cap of the ornament at the top, and then cut a second ornament from gorgeous silver metallic paper (holding it in place with washi tape before running it through my die cut machine, so the pattern would stay perfectly centered inside the ornament design.
I added two strips of solid metallic paper, some red gems, and a few wraps of metallic silver embroidery thread around the top. The finishing touch was an SRM fancy Christmas Sticker in the center.
super pretty shaped card!
Lovely and elegant shaped card Stephanie, the addition of the red gems was the perfect touch!
I have this shape; need to remember to use it like this next Christmas! Thanks for sharing.
