Sharing Another Card

I made this card a few weeks ago for Lori Allred over at Imaginisce.  The design team flooded her office with Berrylicious cards to celebrate her birthday.

All Supplies Imaginisce except twine by Martha Stewart.

To create a shaped card, I google clipart for the desired shape, in this case a strawberry.  When I find one I like, I print it and then enlarge it on my copier until I have the desired size.  I cut all the different pieces out and trace them onto my patterned paper and then I glue it onto a card base and cut it all out.

I stitched the pieces before I placed them on the card base.  To create the card base, fold a sheet of white cardstock and layer the strawberry on top so that the left edge is offset slightly.  This will create a hinge for the card once it is all cut out.

I used the same process when I created THIS CARD last fall.

Shaped cards are a quick and easy way to create a dramatic card.  Next time you see a card like this on my blog, I hope to have it staged on my "new" antique floral frogs.  I'll give you more details on those when they arrive.

Thanks, as always, for visiting.
