You can still be creative with only a handful of minutes to spare. Start small and work up to larger projects. Sometimes it is easier to make embellishments instead. Whatever the project, just start and that creative ball will keep rolling,

When I made these little cards, it had been so long since I’d created anything that I thought it might take me a while to get into the swing of things but not so. The MOJO was a flowin’! (Thank goodness.)

Here’s a peek at the four truth cards I was able to create.

1. She Made it ATC

Create your own background by layering washi tape one after the other. I painted the background first so the color came through. It give the background depth and interest too. I really like the look. Then I cut out words and outlined with a black brush pen. So easy! 

2. Dear Me ATC

For this card, I used patterned paper for the card base and paint splotches for interest. After adhering the words, I used the paint to outline and create depth. A baby wipe helps to spread the paint if you accidentally add too much. 

3. Fold and Glue to make the flower

Where the two edges of the fence meet, place a bit of glue and adhere both sides to each other.

YOU CAN STOP HERE to use this as an embellishment

This was actually a happy accident. As I was making my first flower, I noticed that the flower could stretch out.

So I started to play a bit and decided it looked more like an embellishment.

BAM!

Look how cute it is!!

4. Glue and embellish

Layer the flowers to create a larger flower or simply glue a vintage button to the center of each rosette. 

bonus tip:

To vary the flower sizes, trim the height of the fence diecut and followed the same steps as above.

I hope you enjoyed learning how easy it is to make a flower out of a fence die. If you are inspired to step out of that box and come up with a unique way to use one of your favorite dies, let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear about it!
