We all do it. We buy a pack of gorgeous Designer Series Paper, flip through it, and then… we hesitate. It’s just too pretty to cover up with layers, huge sentiments, and heavy embellishments! If you have a stack of “hoarded” paper that you are afraid to hide, this Casual Friday tutorial is exactly what you need. The secret to finally using those precious sheets isn’t a complicated new technique—it’s having the right tool. That is why the Delicate Framing Dies are a total game-changer. These dies are designed specifically to create elegant borders and negative space, effectively “framing” your pattern so it becomes the star of the show rather than just a background. Whether you are using the new Brushed with Beauty pack or a favorite print from your shelf, these dies are the key to turning your pretty paper into quick, stunning cards.
