I have made a shaped birthday card, using a new frame die along with a beautiful new flower die set, both from Simon Says Stamp's latest Always There release...
I am in a frame mode, lately, so I used the hexagon die to actually make a frame for my flowers. I made the card the same hexagonal shape, by die cutting it a bit above the fold of the card, thus leaving the fold for the card. The only thing that needed to be done for this shaped card, was that I needed to cut a small piece off the bottom of the back of the card, so it would stand. Here's a pic of the back, so you can see the top and the bottom...
I layered the bottom layer of petals twice, as well as the leaves and centers. I love to layer and love how it looks...what can I say? Here's a close up...
So much fun...I don't try orange for flowers, too often, but loved the softer orange of the Melon...kind of Sunblush(the name of the flowers...hehe)?!




Lovely card!! And thanks for explaining how you did the back of your shaped card. I want to try this!
