Dahlia Days Bundle

 

WOW!

Isn't this just a gorgeous card!!

 

Check out this 'Dahlia Days' Bundle! 

Yes- this die cut lace like flower images are part 

of the Detailed Dahlias Dies.

These can be found on page 35 in the Spring Mini.

How did I make the frame?

1. I used 2nd to the largest Scalloped Contours Dies. 
2. Then cut a piece of Basic White card that measures 2 3/4 x 4 1/8"& die cut the Stitched Rectangle out of the middle of it. 
3. I die cut the lace flowers out of 2 1/2 x 3 3/4" Fresh Freesia card stock & taped this to the backside of the stitched rectangle piece- using my Tear & Tape along the edge.
4.  Then I adhered this to the Scalloped Contours Rectangle.

*Note- I did not used the rectangle piece I cut out of the 

middle on this card- I saved it for another card someday.
