MyGrafico Monday - Get In Shape!

Hi All! I really had high hopes for blogging more often in 2010, but I've been keeping busy during the weekends. The good news is that I'm doing really well with keeping to all of my other goals....I still have hope for the 25 blogs a month - I'll just have to post more than once a day for the remainder of the month :)

Today's MyGrafico Monday challenge shows off my favorite part about digital stamps!! Enlarging the image to create a shaped card!!

The design team this week is working with this adorable set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. Lindsay is super talented. I love how she's constantly adding new stuff, including some SVG files for your Cricut! Check out the super chic Bingo card in this set (that you could WIN!!!)

Now that I have your attention, I bet you wanna know how to win the set. Just participate in one (or both) of our challenges this week!! Today, we're challenging you to create a shape card.

As I said earlier, this is my favorite thing to do with digital stamps. I resize the image to the size I'd like the card or project. I then place another piece of cardstock behind the image when I'm cutting it resulting in two pieces. I score the plain shaped piece, add adhesive above the crease, and adhere it to the back of the digital image. Now how easy is that?!? And lookie how cute:

That's all I did with this cupcake! Super simple & I love the result. I had to color the icing chocolate - not because I'm a big chocolate fan (shocking, but I'm not), but because I just made a delicious chocolate cake for a birthday celebration. I'll have to pop back in with the recipe - it's definitely one you'd want to have!

Alright, so how 'bout it? Join us at MyGrafico and create a shaped card. I can't wait to see what you come up with :)
