*************************

My second project is a pretty card to go with my treat box! This was a quick and easy card to create! I love creating shaped cards with Spellbinders die templates and they make such an impression!

To make the shaped card, I cut pink cardstock 4 x 8 inches and folded in half to make my card base of 4 x 4 inches. Place the fold of the paper just inside one of the edges of the Gold Ivy #4 die template, then cut/emboss to get your shaped card. Cut/emboss 4 Gold Corners One Scalloped Border and adhere to 4 edges of shaped card. Layer the card with Gold Ivy #3 in light pink cardstock, and Gold Ivy #2 in white cardstock with foam dots. Cut/emboss/stencil the #2 piece with a sponge dauber and Angel Pink ink pad. Add a sentiment to the white piece with black ink, and finish it off with a pretty silk bow, pearls and a rhinestone heart.
