Are you as excited as I am about Stampin’ Up’s new Edgelits, Framelits, and all the items that coordinate with them? They are so easy to use. They also make your project look more professional and elegant with just a quick run through your Big Shot. Let’s test them out while making a card.
Our card project for this month uses the new Apothecary Art stamp set, the coordinating Labels Collection Framelits dies, and the Adoring Accents Edgelit dies and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.

To Adhere Framelit or Edgelit dies to card stock:
Make sure the smooth side of Framelit or Edgelit is facing up and the side with the small cutting edge is facing the paper.
Choice 1. Use Dotto. Put Dotto where you want to place your Framelit or Edgelit. Adhere Framelit or Edgelit die to card stock with cutting edge next to card stock.
Choice 2: Use tape. I usually use blue painter’s tape with my Big Shot. Just make sure to adhere the tape to your jeans 1-2 times so it comes off your card stock easily. (I just heard about using Dotto)
