CARDtober #6 Outside the Box

I am hosting the CARDtober Friday challenges. My theme is "Outside the Box," which means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective; creative thinking.

Most cards, whether store bought or hand made, are usually a rectangle or a square shape (box like), or sometimes other basic shapes such as an oval or circle. Cards that are different attract attention. 

Shaped cards can be made with dies, electronic cutters, or even just with scissors. 

If you are using one of your larger shaped dies to make a shaped card, make sure that the fold of your card base is a little below one edge of your die, then cut. You will need a separate complete cut of one layer of card stock to cover your base card shape, whatever shape you use.

I chose a teapot card, which was a card design that I downloaded from the Silhouette Design Store. It's Design #296773 by Lori Whitlock. I used Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian Collection papers, and fussy cut the roses and pastries from a couple of the sheets to enhance the teapot and teacup. I also popped one of the roses on the front of the card.

Today's challenge is to make a shaped card, anything that is NOT rectangle, square, or other basic shape. Try to get creative.

The twist is to fussy cut part of the decorations on the card. 

Have fun with this challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!
