Just Us Girls #341

It's Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls and Ina has chosen something different for us.
I used to do more shaped cards when I used my Cricut but I found a way to do one with my dies.
I cut two PTI jars and four of the hydrangea.  I embossed one jar to look like hobnail and stamped one of the die cuts with the hydrangea stamp, coloring it with Distress Ink.  The jar cuts are sandwiched between the flower cuts so the tops of the jars are hidden and the top of the back piece is scored and glued to the front.  I think this would make a great little gift card.

Now it's your turn.  Dazzle us with your folded or shaped cards.  If you are chosen as Chic of the Week, you will be eligible to be a guest designer in June.  Need more inspiration?  Check out what the rest of the Design Team has done at the Just Us Girls blog.
