Just one time I’d like to finish a card for a challenge with
more than a few hours to spare. With the time constraints, this post will be
short and sweet.
For this week’s Make It Monday #329, Melissa Phillips shared how she creates stencils from die cuts. I used a
cover plate to make a stencil for my card.
This card started out completely different in my head
because I remembered the dies from Strawberry Patch to be completely different
than they are. I thought there was a large die rather than several individual strawberry
dies. My fussy cutting did not do justice to the image, so that plan went out
the window. The second backup image is waiting to be used on a different card
since I couldn’t find a way to make it work with stenciling. The above card was
my third attempt. It was going to be my final attempt no matter how it turned
out. Thankfully, there’s something about its simplicity that I really like.
Hope you’re enjoying your summer.

Beautiful card! Your colors and the strawberries look luscious! This card would work for the Seize the Birthday challenge: stripes.
Oh Nancy! This card is DELIGHTFUL! I had been thinking (for years) on whether or not to pick up this stamp set and now I really wish I had. Your card is perfect in every way! Reminds me of a Summery picnic! xo
