Shaped Card with Elegant Frame Die

A project from our live show CATCH UP on Fridays Launch CREATIVE CARD SHOW from the HTCN studio 8th Oct 21 · 08/10/2021

Create a beautiful shaped card using an elegant frame die set. The die cuts an ornate outline that you position over the hinge of a pre-scored card blank, creating an open fretwork design on the front when you fold it.
