“One of my favorite things to do when I’m feeling in a creative rut, is to create a shaped card! This can include just changing the size of the card (tall & skinny) to actual shapes such as a heart, balloon, or circle. This week we are challenging you to create a new project featuring a shaped card base. This can by anything except the regular A2 (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) size. You can definitely take advantage of shaped dies such as I did with my card, if you want!”
Supplies:
- STAMPS: Expressions of Empathy
- INK: Harvest Gold, Spring Moss, Pure Poppy, Versamark
- PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Kraft, Harvest Gold, Pure Poppy, Spring Moss

I love love shape cards. I hope I have time this month to create a card for the challenge. Shape cards are so fun! And I have been wanting to make a oneis card set to give away to a friend that goes to lots of baby showers.
For the challenge, can we use ONLY PTI products, or can we use products from other companies?
