Fun with Frame Dies by Ellen Haxelmans

Frame Up some Holiday images!

Today Ellen is showcasing our frame dies and combining two fun hobbies! She features a set of cross-stitched images created by her mother-in-law that work perfectly for holiday cards when framed with our die sets!

You could use our frame dies to create frames for so many things! Try using them with photos or hand painted images to make fun and unique cards like this! The possibilities are endless!

For the first card, she features a cross stitched snowflake and created a square card using our Frames Squared Die Set for the red scalloped square and the kraft colored stitched square. After assembling the card she added on the word "joy" cut from sparkly gold paper using our Snow Globe Shaker Die Set.

For the next card, she uses the Frames Squared Die Set again, this time cutting the square shapes from shades of brown paper. She then uses the decorative square, also from the Frames Squared Die Set to cut out the cross-stitched image of a squirrel and layers that in the center. She adds the word "merry," die cutting it from shiny red paper using our Snow Globe Shaker Die Set. The final touch is some holly added to the bottom, cut out using our Pines & Holly Die Set.

Last, she features a cute cross-stitched Santa. She cuts the image out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. This die set also has a fun top oval that folds over the tag hole and she adds that in red. She also cuts out a scalloped edge frame using our Framework Die Set to layer with the tag. 

Here is the result! How cute is this card!?
