As You Like It Challenge #87 - Favourite Shaped or Standard Card and WHY

Hi Crafters,

These weeks are flying by so fast that I can hardly believe it's time for a new challenge at As You Like It.

We'd like you to showcase a project using your Favourite Shaped or Standard cardbase and tell us the reason WHY.

My choice was an easy one as I always go for a square card base, whatever the size, as I find that everything just fits in the space beautifully.

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Card Shape or Fold & WHY

Hi Crafters,

This week is flying by and it's already time for our new challenge at As You Like It. 

We want to see your favourite card shape or fold.

  To qualify for the prize we need you to tell us in your post the reason WHY it is your favourite.

Now, although I usually make square cards because my customers ask for them,  my favourite card fold is this.....

Tri-Fold Shutter Card

I really like this shape because it gives you so many panels on which to add your embellishments and decorate to your hearts content. This one however, I have kept rather plain as I am wanting to post it. If you decorate all the panels it can be rather chunky by the time you have finished.
