I created this card for the Clean & Simple Fall-to-Layout (ftl196).

I really love the strawberry set and wanted to use it again. Thankfully I think it worked great with this layout. I did add a couple borders to help spiffy it up.

To create the banner, I stamped my sentiment, then used my trimmer to trim most of the top away; I used scissors to trim around the flourishes of the sentiment that went above the top.

I purposefully stamped the strawberries so that I could pop one of them up over the sentiment strip.

As a finishing touch, I used the corner chomper to round the bottom two corners (I used the 1/2″ punch). I don’t use that tool very often, but I do love it because I can cut the front and back at the same time.

Thanks for taking a peek!
