Loving my HQFSCAT #6 DT shaped card and shaped tag projects on 2 June 2025

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

why: The purpose of the post is sharing my new DT/owner inspiration projects for HQFSCAT. That's Heart's Quest For Shaped Cards and Tags challenges blog. The theme is easy = anything goes on a shaped card or a shaped tag. And to not make it that easy, there is a shape that's not allowed which is a standard rectangle, four 90 degree corners for a tag or a card base. Variations are welcome, though. Think a diagonal cut on 1 side. Rounded corners. Scallop-topped. Dog-ear topped. So change at least 1 corner to vary a traditional rectangle shape in order to use it. 

when: #6 starts June 2 and ends on June 30, 2025. 

what: Project #1 = Shaped Card = square
