What's In a Shape?

 Hey Everybody,

I'm back again with another card.

Our challenge was to Think Spring. The challenge can be found here.  

I stamped these cuties from a retired Stampin' Up! set called, Fable Friends. I also used a set by Jillian Vance called, Spring Hootie for the sentiment. I colored the images with Copic Markers. I die cut the image panel then cut another oval as a frame around the image. I used the reverse side of the designer series paper. The designer series paper is from Stampin' Up! called, Painted Illusions. It was the Product of the Month last month. I love the combination of colors in this paper. It's too bad it's a Product of the Month instead of a paper in the Online Exclusives. I stamped the sentiment, Happy Spring. Inside is an Easter greeting. 

Keywords: CAS889

Stamps: Stampin' Up-Fable Friends, Jillian Vance-Spring Hootie

Paper: white, Stampin' Up-Painted Illusions designer series paper

Ink: memento tuxedo black, pretty peacock, granny apple green

Accessories: SU-oval framelits, Copic markers

Techniques: coloring, die cutting

While I looked at this, I thought about how often I use a rectangle shape for my image panels. How about you? Do you use ovals on your image panels?  How about circles?  How about other shapes other than squares or rectangles?

Take a look at your stash of dies. What shapes do you have that may be older, but fun to use? I looked in my gallery at Splitcoaststampers and found a few I had that were older.

The first card uses the Top Note Die. Do you remember this die?

How about this shape? It is popular right now in stamping.

Do you have a circle you could use?

How about a heart? It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to use a heart shape.

Well, it seems that there are many different shaped dies in my collection that aren't squares or rectangles. I know I have some other shapes. I may challenge myself to use them in the coming weeks with challenges.

Thanks for stopping by. Check out your dies and get stamping and die cutting.

Until next time.

Blessings,

Sue
