Good Morning, Yes, you read the title correctly, it took me FOREVER:). I rarely do shaped cards and this may have done me in!!! I needed a Birthday card for my little niece I found this castle template on Deneen's blog. After fighting with my printer to print it out correctly I finally had something that with some tweaking worked. Then being the dummy I am, I used single sided paper so off to drawing board to figure out what I had that I could use that was double sided stock. I remembered this paper I had purchased for another project. Finally I found paper that was perfect for a princess! It is from Prima, their "Paisley Road Collection". The cute little princess stamp set is from MFT "Pure Innocence" (Birthday Princess). I colored it using my Copic Markers.
So there you have it a card that ended up costing more then the gift and the gift was a motorized bike, pretty sad! :) It was one of those cards that kept evolving and adding more and more. I am sure all of us have made at least one of those. This is MINE!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes around routine.
Great informative post and i really likes your information, most of the peoples are likes your blog because its having the good knowledge. thanks for your good informative post.
What was the fight with the printer about? Was it because the paper wasn’t taking the ink that well? Or was it because of the shape of the template? Either way, I’m glad you found a way around it. The card looks great! Definitely worth every cent and effort you put into it. I do hope the lucky recipient loved it!
