Cammie challenged our CCEE group to make a shaped card this Monday and it had to be some other shape besides a circle.
I chose to do a Christmas card shaped like a mitten. I got the template from an old issue of Cardmaker magazine. I stamped the mitten images from SU's Flaky Friends in black onto Very Vanilla cs, colored them with SU markers (Old Olive and Real Red), cut out, and adhered to the mitten cs. I used my 1/2" circle punch to punch out the very merry letters. I used SU's Dashing dp for the cuffs of the mittens. I paper pierced and faux stitched in real red the outer edges of the mittens.
If you'd like to play along and see the other shaped cards my friends made, check out our CCEE blog here:
