I'm having a brain freeze here I think because I "thought" I knew how to make a word or phrase stencil using cardstock with scal 2 & apparently I dont b/c I can't remember how to do it! Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks So Much in advance!

Kelly you don't say what kind of "brain freeze" you are having with your stencil project. Is it how to create the stencil, how to get if off the mat, or how to apply it to your material.

Here is how I prepare my design to cut. It will cut out the rectangle and the individual letters.
If this is not it, then try and explain it more completely.
