Hi bloggers! I bet you expected another Frame die set! LOL I would like to share the Modern Octagon Border die set with you. I have had so many requests for dies that are more clean and simple in their styling and I really wanted to oblige. I thought why not do an octagon border in keeping with the theme. I have to say that I was really pleased with the way this turned out. It is a fabulous die to use for quick cards and it works great for either gender. You can add any sort of sentiment to it and it works making it a real staple for any craft room! I had a lot of fun doing this up in a variety of ways and loved the results! I know you will find so many fun ways to use it too! While that is the end of the octagon theme, it isn't the end of the releases today. Leave your comment then join me back here at 3pm for the next reveal! All for now, Sue x
