I was a little behind packaging the gift I got for Mr.O, so it was perfect timing when the doorbell rang yesterday morning and it was the FedEx man with my Paper Pumpkin. And woohoo, 6 fabulous gift bags! Perfect!!!!
The Paper Pumpkin Kit came with a Pistachio Pudding Ink Spot, but I wanted my bag to match my card, so I opted for Strawberry Slush.
This little teacup card is a hybrid MDS creation. Yes, I used MDS, and no I don't have an electronic cutter…yet ;) Follow these easy steps below to create your own shaped cards with MDS (and no e-cutter):
- select the image you'd like to use for your shaped card
- resize if required
- copy and paste another of the same image and use the flip tool
- place the flipped image above the original, with a small overlap on the top for the fold of your card
- print onto DSP or card stock and cut out with scissors and/or hobby blade
- embellish as desired
Tips:
- if you are using an image that is solid (as I did here), recolour it white and place a light colour in the background so you can see where to cut
- try some paper piecing! Print multiple copies on different colours of card stock or DSP and then layer them up

This is the image from MDS that I printed onto my DSP to create the teacup card |
I kept the inside of this one really simple with a small punched heart and a stamped sentiment from the Yippee Skippee stamp set.
