Slimline Essential Frames

Hello bloggers!  The next design in the Slimline Collection is the Slimline Essential Frames.  This set has been designed with a couple of things in mind.  First of all, for those that prefer less detail on the edges, these are for you.  Secondly, I wanted a die that I could use with the Stitched Rectangles to create a thinner frame that can be used on top of the stitched ones, these fit the bill  as you can see from the sample here.  Personally, I love to do up the frames in what I like to call multi-layered so these work a treat for that.  Shown here, you can see a quick example of one of my multi-layered frames.  When used in conjunction with the stitched set like this, they will sit in between the double stitching.  If you like the idea of this set and would like a chance to win them, just leave a comment on the posts at the end of this blog.  Please only one comment per die post, but feel free to leave comments on each and every one of the dies if you like!  The next post will be at 3pm today.  Hope to see you then.  All for now. Sue x
