Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

Most of my cards are a standard 6" x 6" square, but despite that being my most common, it's actually not my favourite!  I love the shape created with my Go Kreate Labels die so today I've dug it out and used it for the first time in a while.

Samantha
I love 15x15cm Square cards, I love the clear crisp shape and also love that I can matt and layer and love I only have to take off ½ cm off 2 sides and it's exactly the right size for the red layer and then I took off 1cm off 2 sides for the top white layer.




Brenda
I think my favorite shape has to be the A4 rectangle.  My reason is pretty boring but it is just such a practical size when it comes to postage.








Elaine

My favourite has to be square. It is a versatile shape and when the card is a little too bulky or delicate for an envelope, I can make a box for posting.












Larissa
I love square cards. The shape is easy to work with and  you have lots of room to make your project on.







Lynne


I nearly always make square cards, usually 6" but 7" for more special cards.  I think this is because I find them much easier to fit embellishments on and like them to be symmetrical.  This little exercise has made me think I should be more adventurous!









Sarah


My favourite shape has to be plain old 15cm x15cm, it appeals to my need for symmetry!! In this case I have used a kraft blank.



Squirrel 
My current favourite card shape is rectangle - it satisfies my CAS streak, but is infinitely adjustable to create different shapes and sizes, from long and skinny, to short and squat (I know that feeling!), and it can be used as portrait or landscape too so a very versatile shape

the outside



and the inside


Wilma
At the moment my favorite shape is rectangle. Maybe it's a bit boring, but it is practical and the cards fit in ordinary envelopes.

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and
showcase your Favourite shape of cardbase can be a square, but you must say why!

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
