Our new challenge at CD Sunday has been chosen by Margaret who is one of our new team members. Margaret has chosen the theme of shaped cards. As I said on the Blog - 'square' is a shape to me - so I approached this challenge with caution as I wasn't in my own comfort zone. I decided to try and incorporate shaped and Christmas and went to one of may favourite La Pashe CD's- The Christmas Box.
I printed out one of the tags as a 5" x 7" card. In fact I chose my favourite tag of the two deer with the big goo goo eyes. I added the Happy Christmas greeting with one of my graphic programmes and the red bow was made using a die - and as usual I can't remember who made it.
I then made 10 tags with ribbon tails and put them in a pocket on the inside left of the card.
Here are the piccies:
I had some girlfriends around for a crafting session and I showed them this card and one of them dropped a very strong hint that they wouldn't mind if this arrived in their Christmas post so it has a home already.
I think I might actually make a few more of these. There are some beautiful tags on this CD so plenty of choices to be had.
I look forward to some blog hopping and seeing some fantastic shaped cards. Instead of us inspiring you - you could inspire us - or me in particular.
Have fun.

What a great idea for a gift card. You've inspired me!!! I'll certainly be making these for my Christmas stash. Wynn xx
ReplyDeleteGlad I achieved a bit of inspiration Wynn. Was thinking that you could still use the Christmas card with the pocket but put in gift tags for other occasions. It would make a Christmas card with a gift and wouldn't matter if it only arrived just before Christmas. If you get my drift? xx
DeleteI think this is a great idea Carol. Love all the little tags. I think I might be able to guess which of your visitors bagged this one!
