Gina K has a great tutorial on StampTV showing how she cuts two pieces from the same die - one for the front and one for the back. On the back one she scores across the top about a 1/4 inch and folds it back. Then you attach your front to your back with adhesive across the small top above the fold and your whole card is the shape of your die
Thanks for the information. I'm so spatially challenged that I can't figure out simple things like this on my own. I've been afraid of shaped cards up to this point. This is one of the reasons I love splitcoast!

A tip for circular cards and Labels 10.
For circular cards that aren't scalloped, a tiny bit trimmed off the bottom of the back parallel to the top fold means that it will stand on its own. It only takes a little bit to make it stable! For Labels 10 I trim off the centre lobe on the bottom of the back of the card, and then that will stand on its own too.
