Sneak Peek – Oval Accents

Hi Stampin' Friends Today's card showcases one of the new dies in the 2012/2013 Catalog called Bigz Clear Oval Accent  Die.   It coordinates with the new Forever with You Stamp Set (page 132 of the new catalog). Like the framelits dies, it's clear so you can see where you are placing the die on the card stock.  For the background, I used the Everyday Enchante DSP from the Sale-a-bration Catalog with Poppy… Read More »
