I’m smitten with the elegant frames in the Framed Florets Bundle (the Framed Florets Stamp Set and the Framed Florets Dies). Die-cutting the frames is a breeze and the floral images in the stamp set are the perfect companions for the frames. I’ve made quite a few cards already, here is the first on my blog (check out my Instagram feed for another sample card).
