This is my 6th post in my Fake it (then make it) series. Today I'm looking at the Postage infinity dies from Hero Arts.
I was able to get a similar look using my crop-a-dile, paper trimmer, and file.
I've saved $150 faking it!
I'm also playing along with several challenges:
AAA Birthday Challenge- for the girls
Happy Little Stampers- anything goes with die cuts
SCS Featured Stamper whippetgirl-I was inspired by the flowers, color combo, and interesting edge to her image panel on the card I chose

Wow! You're GREAT at 'faking it'... lol ;)
Your card is lovely! Very clever how you created the postage stamp edge! Love your Fake It (Then Make It) concept - using items from your 'stash' rather than spending more money on new things. Great inspiration for me to whittle down my own stash - thank you!

Cute card, Tracy. Nice job making the postage stamp edge. I like your Fake it (then make it) series. So smart to use what you already have! I bet I've got a postage stamp scissors tucked away in my stash.

What a fun concept- Fake it then Make it- love that! I would have never guessed you did not use a postage stamp die here so I call that a win! Thanks so much for playing along in this week's FS challenge!
Wow, this took some ingenuity!! That's a lot of hole punching! I love your results tho. I really like the contrast of that piece and your card base. Beautiful card! It might have come off of your wish list. But, it is on mine now. ;) LOL!!
