Hi Stampers!
Today’s post focuses on the BASIC BORDERS DIES. These dies can be found in the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. They are what I call “stand alone” dies, because they are not paired with a specific stamp set and are suitable for use with all stamp sets. These dies can be used for borders, of course, but they also make great accent pieces. This post contains sample cards and a video with more information about this set of dies. Let’s look at the dies:
