Loving my HQFSCAT #9 theme DT shaped card and shaped tag for 2 Sept 2025

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

why: this posting showcases my latest shaped creations, a card and a tag, for HQFSCAT or Heart's Quest for Shaped Cards and Tags Challenges Blog. The theme is easy: anything goes on a shaped card and/or shaped tag. The only shape NOT allowed is the standard rectangle however variations on a rectangle are allowed like z-fold where there is a top side diagonal line, making 2 angles less than 90 degrees, scallop-topped, dog-eared top, rounded corners, etc. 

when: #9 for HQFSCAT begins September 2nd and ends on September 30, 2025.

what: Project #1 = photographed: Cookie Cutter with shaped tags set; can be added to a gift bag, hang on the Christmas tree, hang from an upper kitchen cabinet door
