Stand Alone Dies, Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to this week's Stamping with Friends blog hop!! If you are new to my blog or YouTube channel I do hope you will subscribe.

The theme for this week's hop is Stand Alone Dies, these are the general die sets, not attached to any particular stamp set. My favourite by a country mile is the Stylish Shapes die set, I find I am using them all the time.

As I wondered through Pinterest, as you do I found this fold back card, I couldn't find who had originally thought of it because there were so many examples so here is my take on it.

Pop over to watch the video to see how it comes together. All the measurements are below
