Hello friends! It’s Thursday and that means a new card challenge. When I first started the challenges, my goal was to post a new one every week. With summer coming and things starting to open up again, I’ve decided to cut down to 2 challenge a month. This will give people a longer time to participate. Everyone is welcome to join me by sharing their cards on my Instagram or Facebook pages.
The new challenge is Shaped Cards. Make a card that isn’t the usual rectangle or square shape. There is no time frame. Be sure to check out all the entries for extra inspiration and leave some love. We can all use friendly encouragement right now. 💖

For my first card, I used some leftover paper from Love From Lizi’s May kit along with a sentiment die from Honey Bee stamps. The angular die is from MFT’s Blueprints set 33.

For my second card, I used one of Queen & Company’s Shaped Card kits. The kits make it so easy to create fun shaped cards, like the butterfly I used.

I appreciate your kindness and support!
Beautiful examples of shaped cards, Kristie. I am a bit partial to the butterfly one, but the colors in the floral card are just gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing and encouraging us.
Thank you so much, Jeanne! I knew you’d enjoy the butterfly card.
