Hello! I haven't made a shaped card in a while so I thought I'd try one for Christmas. Shaped cards are very fun and easy to make. You can find a tutorial here on how to make one. I chose a very basic shape - a circle - to mimic the ornament I have as my focal point in my layered card. The base is made from a stitched circle die, the next is the largest of the heart circles from Spellbinders popped up with Joy! foam pads, then a circle from silver metallic card stock, and finally my top white on which my Memory Box Cabrini
ornament is placed. I do love my Metals Craft
Foil - it just goes so well with Christmas! Here I used a gold one for the outlines, some red for the berries and the ornament is cut from glitter tape. I also cut the letters JOY out of the gold foil. Finally some ribbon and silver floss to top of my ornament.
When I stood up my card, it did roll around until settling on its side. To fix that, I cut a flat bottom on the inside flap so that it would stand upright yet still be a perfect circle in the front.
Hope you can play along with Classy Cards 'n Such Ornament and Ribbon challenge!
