There's a new challenge at AAACards... and it's going to be a fun one! We want to see your shaped cards! By shaped, we mean something other than a square or a rectangle. The optional twist is to make a clean and simple (shaped) Easter card.
I know I could have done an Easter egg shape, but I had another idea in my head.... and then I realized I couldn't do exactly what I wanted to do. Let me show you the card, and then we'll talk about what my vision was...
Isn't he cute???
My first thought was to make place cards for the Easter table, but I don't have little alphabet dies, I didn't want to add a layer and I didn't want to mess up my design team card by trying to hand letter something on this little cutie. So I did a simple "hello" card instead... but imagine if it said "NANCY" where it says "HELLO"... wouldn't that have been cute?! I still might do these for my table...
How did I create this cutie? I found a simple Easter Bunny image on the internet and put it in to Silhouette Design Studio and traced it. I got it to the size I wanted and then copied the image and flipped it. I lined it all up so that the ears overlapped just a little, clicked on weld and cut it out with my Silhouette Portrait. I added a little marker to the insides of his ears and did some poorly placed whiskers on his face before stamping the "hello" around his neck.
I can't wait to see your shaped cards!
